issues and has voted for 8 num- Der of New Deal measures.
 Because of his friendship with the liberals he was delegated by the Harding managers at the Chi- cago convention in 1920 to offer the vice presidency to Senator Hiram Johnson. The Californian indignantly rejected the overture and. the nomination went Ot Cal- win Coolidge. Two years later Coolidge was in the White House.
 McNary first attracted na- ti0nal attention in the early 20's with his famed McNary- Haugen farm relief bill. Twice passed by Congress, it was twice vetoed, once by Coolidge on the advice of Hoover, and once by Hoover personally.
 When Senator Jim Watson, Tn- diana's veteran z. O. p. floor lead- CT, was defeated in the denlocra- tic landslide in le32, McNary was the unchallenged choice as his successor.
 Charley Mac"
 Among his intimates, McNary is known affectionately as Char ley Mac". Tn Washington, he and Mrs. McNary live quietly and siin- ply with their two-year old adopt ed daughter Charlotte, whom Me- Nary idolizes. He keeps Q tiny hobby-horse in his office to en- certain her when she visits him.
 He works hard at his job and goes about very little socially. His chief recreation Is golf, which he shoots in the eighties.
 In Oregon Charley lives on the old farm where he was born. It is five miles from Salem and con- sists of 200 acres on which he raises filbert nuts, prunes and fruit. He had a very profitable hop orchard, but abandoned it during prohibition.
 When on his farm McNary has a large pot of baked beans cooking over a log fireplace. The dish is his favorite food and he insists on doing his own cooking. even using . recipe of his own concoction.
 In addition to his nut and fruit trees, McNary has several acres of flowers. He spends much time experimenting and mas developed some original varieties. A unique feature of McNary's farm is his own wild fowl refuge.
 Poet
 While making no pretense of erudition, McNary reads exten- sively and has a large library both in Washington and in Oregon. He prefers biography but has stu died economic and financial ques- tions in recent years, particularly as they affect agriculture. Be- fore becoming floor leader he was chairman of the Senate Agricul- ture Committee.
 McNary also is fond of poetry and keeps a scrap book of fav- orite poems.
 The late Senator Jim Couzens was a great admirer of McNaryu and in the spring of 1886 urged him to seek the 6. o. p. nomina- ton. Couzens even offered to contribute sl0o.ooo to his cam paign.
 'But | don't come from the right part of the country" Me- Nary said.
 Maybe not" admitetd Cou- gems, but Charley, if the party has any chance this year. you are its only hope"
 McNary laughingly said he wasn't interested and quoted the following rhyme:
 'The presidential bee is deadly
 bug
 I've seen 1t work on others.
 Oh, Lord. protect me from it's hug, And let it sting my brothers"

Selected Poem
THE OLD FETCHING POST
Geone Rice Grelle, Mount Carmel, in the New Haven Journal Courier)

Leone Rice Grelle, Mount Carmel, in the .
 New Haven Journal-Courier) Whenever I see hitching post
 Patiently standing, its poor heart numb And near to dead from the years it's stood Awaiting the horse that doesn't come Awaiting the rose that years before Paved up the sod by it's tired old feet, And gnawed the knob where the rope went round; In his restive way, by the shaded street. Awaiting the horse who, years before, Went trotting out in his proud, high way And left it dreaming, remembering yet The shining black or the bleaming gray (. O. whenever I see hitching post
 I think the people, who own the place Have kept it safe for dream they love; And tied memory of the space Where once the black or the gleaming gray Impatiently waited the morning ride And I'd like to stop for moment there And grip the hand of the folks inside.

and had to have few books to sit on, so his
head would reach above the table. He might
have been an effigy of himself, his face was so
completely expressionless. Not even when Attor-
ney Albert Levitt demanded of Chief Justice
Hughes that Hugo Black show why he was en-
titled to be a member of the Supreme Court
did the Number Nine Justice flick an eyelash.
Justice Seemed Lonely
Despite this bravado, Justice Black had
lonely air. The space between his chair at the
extreme right of the bench and that of his
neighbor, Justice Roberts, was wider than the
space between the chairs of any of the other
justices.
The Department of Justice, as one man, looked
handsome. Attorney General Homer Cummings
topped his striped trousers and long tailed coat
with high hat. Solicitor General Stanley Reed,
who had come directly from the train, a trip
to Kansas City and look at the races in Louis
vile, had left his topper in moth balls. AS
sistant Solicitor General Golden Bell was casually
elegant in brown tweeds.
The passionate interest of the public in yes
terdays opening session of the Court and in the
Ninth Justice filled the court room quite an
hour before the hour Of noon. Impatiently the
spectators watched the clock while each minute
seemed 10 times so seconds Women were ask

Blacks Technique "TOO Perfect"
Most important of all comment on the Black
case was that of DR.. Hiram Evans the imperial
wizard of the Ku Klux Khan. With an air of
finality which surpassed even that of Justice
Black, and thus dwarfing all other debate upon
the subject DR.. Evans said:
HE (Black) has a great judicial mind-heIl
make great judge on the bench"
Publicity technicians, discussing Blacks
handling Of his case, characterize his technique
as just about perfect perhaps little too perfect
The smartest thing he did, they thought, was
to blame it all on the newspapers. This obscured
the fact that he was confirming what the news
