...While there are many nominal church members in the United States senate, they are mostly conservative and the few liberals in the senate are, almost without exception, estranged from the church. It would be a happy experience for the nation to have a sound Christian radical of Governor Sweet's type in the senate. We understand that Judge Florence Allen is also running for the senate in Ohio, She incarnates the same type of Christian idealism as Governor Sweet.

"Consider public opinion," "frank and honest information about corporation business," "particular cordiality to stockholders," "no more damning of public or government," "conforming to existent laws," "cooperation rather than competition," "consideration for labor," "8-hour day." These phrases sound stale nowadays. A generation ago they were novel, might have continued so yet.
