...present delegate system is hardly an expression of true democracy. The men who will represent Massachusetts in the coming Republican convention, for example, have no idea whom they will vote for. They pay their own railroad fare to get to the Convention and they will east their vote so as to get the best possible return from it. The delegation should really be a group of errand boys who have been delegated to vote a certain way by the people of the state, and who will do it. If you were to take a poll of a deaf and dumb...

...Herbert Hoover is the best man for the Republican nomination, in my opinion. He has the heart, the mind, the experience, and the education to fill the position.

...Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green, to Terrell, Tex., headquarters of the road, to ascertain its value. It was a long sort, of job, as the Interstate Commerce Commission learned later. The road did not pay. Colonel Green established himself at Terrell, became a prominent figure in Texan Republican politics. It is still repeated in Texas that Mark Hanna himself put him on the governor's military staff, which made Capitalist Green of Manhattan a Texan Colonel. The Colonel paid the railroad's deficit regularly every year. It was his plaything. Last week the Southern Pacific bought Texas Midland...
