Sirs: Your Waco, Tex., man, who squirts a jet of poison gas at Tom Johnson and Newton D. Baker, two really great men, brings to mind a little poem, towit: "A little dog barked at the big red moon That smiled in the evening sky. The neighbors smote him with rocks and shoon- But still he continued his ragful tune. And he barked 'till his throat was dry. But, soon 'neath the hill that obstructed the west, The moon sank out of sight; And the little dog said, as he laid down to rest, "Well, I scared...
...Governor Alfred Emanuel Smith of New York. But is he high or is he low?-that has been the vexing question. If and when Governor Smith is nominated, astute hindcasters may point back to last week as a turning point. For of all "high" Democrats none is higher than Newton Diehl Baker, Wilsonian War Secretary. And last week Mr. Baker said, not only that he admired Governor Smith, but that he knew the nomination would be "an entirely creditable one to the Democratic Party...
...humble opinion Mr. C. B. Bratton of Waco, Texas, displays a great lack of information in his letter flaying Mr. Newton D. Baker which appears in your Dec. 5 issue of TIME.

They protected the American Army from political interference. They insisted that promotion should be on merit and let the best man win. And that's what made the American achievement possible." (TIME, Sept. 19). Certainly neither of these gentlemen is what Mr. Bratton calls...
Sirs : In connection with the mention of ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker as presidential timber, Mr. C. B. Bratton, Waco, Tex., writes (TiME, Letters, Dec. 5) : "No man that ever held a commission in the A. E. F. would vote for him." Mr. Bratton does not know all officers who were in Europe ! Mr. Bratton does not know one-tenth - not one one-hundredth of the officers who were in Europe ! Mr. Bratton does not know anything about the voting inclinations of any of the officers who were in Europe, except, perhaps, the comparatively infinitesimal few whom...
