It takes all kinds of poo- pie to make up a world and it's the people who make the country. How much I realize how we have progressed since the first presidential campaign I can remember, that of Grover Cleveland and James G. Blaine, both fine and brilliant men. The poltical issue, as I remember, was protective tarif: to be or not to be. I think of my father, always of a political turn of mind and how he would have enjoyed the radio, listen ing to the political convention. The news at that time was by weekly newspapers and.

Then all ef a sudden we heard, “Vote for Wilson and keep out of war.” How that took! We voted for him and kept out of war a month and two days.
