Four years ago whenever Herbert Hoover went home to the White House, the silk hat on his head covered a multitude of political worries. At the same time, whenever Braintruster Raymond Moley tramped up the terrace steps at Hyde Park, the crushed fedora on his wrinkled brow covered manifold plans for Herbert Hoover's downfall. Little did either of them then dream that in 1936 they would find themselves brothers under their hats. Yet last week Herbert Hoover, no longer President, spoke his mind in Philadelphia, and in Manhattan Raymond Moley, no longer a Braintruster, put his mind into...
...Franklin Roosevelt had his Louis McHenry Howe to steer him through the intricacies of campaign politics, his Raymond Moley to chart its intellectual strategy. Researcher Taft is neither a Howe nor a Moley to Nominee Landon. Still principally responsible for the character of the Landon campaign is that Kansas City Star team, Roy Roberts and Lacy Haynes, who put the Kansas Governor into the running originally and now pack the greatest influence with him.

On March 4, 1933 Dr. Moley went to Washington as Assistant Secretary of State, No. 1 Brain Truster and one of the new President's most potent and intimate advisers...
Last week, with Franklin Roosevelt's second Presidential campaign about to start. Ray Moley was far from the side of his old friend and patron. Distinctly cold to the President's Tax Bill (TIME, March 23), increasingly chummy with those whom Franklin Roosevelt chooses to call "economic royalists," Dr. Moley has frequently in Vincent Astor's Today warned the New Deal to reef its sails. Last week Editor Moley used Dr. George Gallup's latest Institute of Public Opinion poll showing Governor Landon to have an electoral majority (TIME, July 20) as a peg on which...
