...horseplay of the initiation did the President stay. Then, accompanied by his initiate son, he entrained for Hyde Park and the bosom of his fun-loving family: mother, wife and daughter. Next day he initiated his new son-in-law, John Boettiger in Roosevelt pastimes. In a bright red sleigh with Daughter Anna by his side and Son-in-law John in a single seat behind, President Roosevelt drove for several miles over the snow-packed roads of the Roosevelt estate, to tea at the cottage near the Val-Kill furniture factory...

"It's awfully silly," the Governor's ebullient lady confided, "but it makes a good picture." Political tricks and stratagems far craftier than this...
...struggles with Pennsylvania's relief funds, the last of which was exhausted last week, deterred 69-year-old Governor Pinchot from the sort of slashing personal campaign he generally makes. That did not impede energetic Mrs. Pinchot's activities in his behalf, as last week's sleigh ride testified. She has always been willing to dramatize the Governor's social welfare programs by picketing, speechmaking, visiting the slums.
