...influence of the McClatchys beyond their rural constituencies does not approach that which Editor Rowell wielded in his prime. Lecturer on political science, regent of the University of California, member of the National Crime Commission, Institute of Pacific Relations and many another body, he is still regarded by oldsters as the sage of the Pacific Coast.

In 1930 Gentleman Farmer Svinhufvud became Premier. Early this year he who had been Regent was elected President.
