...abode. The end of the week saw the Nominee headed north, for "complete relaxation," on a 1,000-mile motor trip to the headwaters of the Klamath River. With him, in eleven cars, went newsgatherers, cameramen, President Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford University and several professors; Allan Hoover (youngest son); Assistant U. S. Attorney-General William J.("Wild Bill") Donovan; Representative John John Quillin Tilson of Connecticut; George Akerson (secretary) ; also fishing rods, flies, the acceptance speech (for further reworking) and a batch of "crank" letters. The latter amuse the Nominee. One man begged a new set of false teeth...
...requiring voters to prove that they could read and write. Education of the Negroes spoiled this. 2) Property requirements The Negroes' post-slavery discovery of industry and thrift spoiled this. 3) The "Grandfather clause"-admitting to suffrage any man who voted in 1867 or before, or was one son or grandson of such a man.

His father was one of the moderators of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. † The son preferred the more hierarchal Church of England for his career. Studies at Balliol College, Oxford (after a period at Glasgow University) had something to do with his decision. By 1901 he had become Bishop of Stepney and Canon of St. Paul's, London, and used to work with...
Probably she does not concern herself with figures. But Son Louis may have told her, jubilantly, that in 1927 he cleared $163,968, and in the first five months of 1928 he made $83,161. He may have told her, last week, that a syndicate was offering the public 40,000 shares of Louis Philippe, Inc., cumulative participating convertible Class A common stock. She would not have understood the financial terms, but she would have known that she did well when she led her little boy to a kitchen stove in Paris...
