...Floor Leader to succeed Mr. Longworth (as Mr. Longworth had promised if he won), a little more business was transacted and in less than an hour and a half the caucus was over.

...William M. Butler, like Mr. Coolidge, was in days gone by a protege of the late Senator Winthrop Murray Crane. Both have quiet unostentatious ways of doing things, both can spare words, both have a certain primitive honesty. Butler, now gray, portly, 63, wearer of double glasses, comes of an old New Bedford family. At 16 he was at work in a New Bedford shoe factory.
