Money having become the paramount issue, it must be startling to sound-money Democrats like Senators James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois and Carter Glass of Virginia to find themselves in the Right-wing bed with an old Republican fogey like Ohio's Fess, the prophet of Harding and Hoover, and Pennsylvania's Reed, the voice of Andrew Mellon. To Senator Lewis, Democratic whip, it must seem most peculiar because it was his unexpected election in 1930 which signaled the return of the Democracy to power, the beginning of a Left shift which was to pass even him.

...reges regnant et tyranni per me tenent terram," "through me kings rule and tyrants hold their power." Later, in the Sententiae of St. Isidore of Seville, iii 48, we find a long explanation of the sanctions of the tyrant's rule centering around a dictum of the Prophet Hosea "I shall give them a king in my wrath."

More, in his Regulae Pastoralis iii 4, he praises...
