...primary elections. The Administration is the most potent, by virtue of its record and occupancy. Anti-Hooverism is miscellaneous but its chief hero is Candidate Lowden, because he has a definite program for a large, definite group of voters.

But the scepticism is good-humored, and the point is not pressed home...
