...State. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew William Mellon and his nephew William Lorimer Mellon in Pittsburgh administer the western end. When the U. S. Senate refused to seat Mr. Vare, Governor John Stuchell Fisher, a Mellon man, appointed Joseph Ridgeway Grundy of Bristol, arch-lobbyist for the Tariff, active raiser of campaign funds. Long used to dictating to politicians though never before a large officeholder, Mr. Grundy greatly enjoyed his transition and soon regarded himself as the G. O. P. boss of the whole State. An upright Quaker, he scorned Boss Vare. Solidly intrenched with industrial interests...

Mr. Grundy's retort about "backward commonwealths" was swept aside as "obviously absurd...
...fiftieth year of my age comes my revolt. I come roaring forth with a book which is the opposite of little Rollo and little Lucy." Perhaps Poet Lindsay never said quite the same thing before, but the blatant tone of voice is unmistakably his. He is a hell-raiser whose hair is never brushed; like his latest book, he is "aggressive, however sinful and full of pride." Two good poems appear-one an old-style Lindsay chantey, "The Virginians Are Coming Again," and "Twenty Years Ago," a rambling epistle to some anonymous and scornfully rejected patron. As usual, Poet Lindsay...
