This year Joe Guffey, to whom unkind fellows refer as "the greatest Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania in 60 years,"* is in an exceedingly tough spot.

It stripped parents not naturally unkind of every trace of tenderness. Every human effort to escape into a better world was suspect and contemptible. So far as George was concerned, life was virtually nothing but work, harder, always, than his body was yet capable of. He suffered also under a strong, sadistic elder brother, Harvey.
