Persons who heard of it thought that such "reasonableness" shed yet more light on the Brand type of politician, if more were needed. But aside from branding Mr. Brand and his kind, the episode seemed to have a larger significance not because of its connection with the Presidential campaign, which is not properly a House affair, but because of the murk it dispelled from the whole atmosphere of Congressional farm relief.
