...degree from Columbia University. He entered politics, where his good stories, his oratory, his wit, his common sense and his legal ability won him popularity and admiration in New York. He ran for Governor of that state in 1912 on the Republican ticket when the party was split, and he had no chance of victory. He took his defeat philosophically, humorously. In 1922, he married for the first time. On Feb. 22, last, at the age of 62, he died of angina pectoris...

At the end of this period, those who have not swallowed their tonsils, split their larynx, or died, from apoplexy undoubtedly have, as a result of the workings of the Law of the Adaptation of Species, developed platinum-lined throats and lungs.

The names of Chancelor Luther and former Minister of War Gessler were mentioned. Foreign Minister Stresemann kept in the background...
...will undoubtedly run are Chancellor Hans Luther, who, when hairs are not split, is a Monarchist, and ex-Chancellor Wilhelm Marx, leader of the Catholics. Chancellor Luther can depend upon the Monarchist vote and the votes of the big interests. Chancellor Marx can depend on the Catholic vote alone. There remain the large Socialist and the smaller Democratic votes. For whom will these people vote? Possibly for a Socialist candidate, say ex-Chancellor Philipp Scheidemann; but, if the issue is to be between Herrn Luther and Marx, it would seem that a majority of the Socialists and Democrats...
