He keeps himself fit, wants very little doctoring and takes so much exercise that sometimes he has to be restrained a little. He flies very little now, because...

In the Hotel Congress, Governor Horner beamed amiably, plumped his chubby hand into those of well-wishers. As expected, Bundesen had piled up a big lead over Horner in Cook County. But, as a whacking rebuke to the rule of Bosses Kelly and Nash, downstate counties turned in a lead of 310,000 for Horner, insured him the nomination by 150,000 votes. Asked if he would now support Horner...
