Thirty-six Senatorial votes-three more than necessary-had long since been counted to sustain the veto and the margin of error in this calculation was conceded to be very small. Nevertheless, up to the Capitol, day after the House vote, marched Postmaster General Farley to lunch with Majority Leader Robinson, help hold the Administration lines. With him went ex-Representative Charles F. West, now Presidential contact-man, and in the cloak rooms of the Senate they and Whip Harrison proceeded to buttonhole doubtful members.

...Ascot. Enough pomp and circumstance still attends public occasions in England for Mr. Max Beerbohm's admiration for royalty, when he contemplates the "cheap and tawdry inmates of the White House and the Champs Elysees," to be somewhat justified, even in the eyes of stanch republicans. One doubts, nevertheless, whether certain of King George's predecessors--Queen Elizabeth or even James II--would have been content to be chiefly decorative, or to have their royal relatives go "Empire crusading," as Sir Auston nicely and naively calls it, speaking of the Duke of Gloucester...
