...Oldtime Senators recalled the great furor of 1913 when, at the ringing protest of Woodrow Wilson, the Sugar Lobby was investigated with Lobbyist Martin Michael Mulhall of the National Manufacturer's Association as star witness. Potent and insidious methods of electing the '"proper" men were then revealed. Of that inquisition, Montana's grim Walsh was a member...
...California, sells gas and electricity to a large population just south of San Francisco Bay. Because by such means they could cut down gas waste and yet maintain oil production, large California oil companies supported the conservation law. Small companies, on the other hand, raised a chorus of howling protest.

Anticipating some sort of protest, Professor Pitkin explained through the press that he had not meant to suggest that the alleged Wilson infirmities were "shameful" or "monstrous." "Thousands of people cheerfully exhibit and endure far worse ills of the flesh. . . . He might have avoided most of the myriad condemnations simply by being honest and admitting physical frailties. But this would have interfered with his restless aspirations. Voters would never elect sick men as governors and presidents...
