...This man who may remind you of a pompous schoolmaster is Hiram Johnson. He used to be a rip-roaring Progressive Republican. He still votes with them, but he seems to be an extinct volcano. The old gentleman there, with a kindly face-no, not that one; he is Frederick Gillett, who used to be Speaker of the House and has now retired to the dignified bosom of the Senate as a reward for his long and faithful labor in the Republican cause. The other one farther back is Senator Cummins, who used to be a Progressive Republican...
...cronies run the House by dint of goodwill and numbers -because, you see, politics in the House isn't half so individualistic as in the Senate. Everybody likes Nick. He is the likable boss, although that lean stiff man, Tilson of Connecticut, bears the formal title of Republican leader. The impressive old man over there is Burton of Ohio.

Yonder is Finis Garrett, the Democratic leader. He is brilliant but inclined to be erratic. Ogden Mills is just coming in. He is a Republican and comes from the silk stocking district of Manhattan, a Harvard man, with plenty of money, able, incisive, one of the best on the Ways and Means Committee.

There were 13 Representatives involved (ten Republicans, three Democrats) and all of them were renominated. There are two Senators coming up for re-election-Senator Watson for six years, Senator Arthur R.

In the Republican primaries Watson was faced by a young lawyer, Claris Adams, supported by Postmaster General New and others who have no reason for liking Watson. Adams made a whirlwind campaign...
Pennsylvania. The fourth primary of the season takes place in Pennsylvania next week, and, it being Pennsylvania, the chief interest is in the Republican choice. There are three candidates. Senator Pepper, running for renomination, is backed by the Mellons and the organization of the western part of the state. Cyrus E. Woods, former Ambassador, is managing Mr. Pepper's campaign. He is Dry and his issue is support of the Administration. The second candidate is Governor Pinchot, fighting for nomination on the ground that he is Dryer than Pepper. He has a good bit of the church vote...
