A Dewey associate told reporter
the Governor planned to "expend
every effort" to keep the Senate un-
der Republican control. The Re-
publicans now have slim majority

ready has announced that the Gov
ernor will wage a vigorous" cam
paign and that he plans to speak

several States. among them Ken
lucky, Minnesota. New Mexico,

The best was Lord David Cecil'S

Lord Cecil writes beautifully, and
there is evidence that his prose is as
carefully combed as good poetry.
He has a scholars precision and
novelists creative Imagination. As
a result, 1.-TWO Quiet Lives"-as his

FREEMAN,

Adams, who is the subject of biog-
raphy called 1.-The Young Henry
Adams" by Ernest Samuels. It COW
ers Adams as young idealist, takes
him through his professorship at
Harvard and to the age of 80 when
he resigned and came to Washing
ton to live. This, Mr.. Samuels feels,
was the beginning of the great dis
illusionment which produced the
famous Education of Henry
Adams" He has theory that the
young Adams should be rescued
from the hindsights and distortions
of the Education" But, in truth,
the young Adams is interesting to
us now only because he was capable
Of turning into that bitter, fascinat-
ing old man. Details of his younger
years are only for his most con-
vinced followers.
Collected Essays From
An Intellectual Biography
A book of criticism which might
be called an Intellectual biography
Is the collected Essays of John
Peale Bishop" The author was q
poet, novelist and critic. His criti-
clsms cover mainly the work of his
contemporaries in the '2Os and, read
more or less consecutively, they re-
veal that Mr.. Bishop had a rare
consistency and high standards.
Readable sketches of Gertrude
Stein made a very enjoyable book
OF When This You See, Remem-
a hyY r
"Tolstoy as Knew Him" Is the
autobiography of the great Rus
slams sister-in-law, Tanya Kuzmin-
skaya and shows his as q young
man in the early, happy years of
his marriage.
Edwin Arlington Robinson" by
Emery Neff, is volume in the
American Men of Letters Series.
There is more biography of the poet
than Interpretation. The tenor Is
generally admiring.
The first full-length biography of
William Butler Yeats, the great
Irish poet, is by Richard Ellmann
and Is subtitled "The Man and the
Mask" The author had access to
more than $4,000 pages Of Yeats
material. It is a welcome addition
to the literary biographical shelf.
Other biographies published dur
ing the year and which deserve at
least a brief mention include:
James Madison" by Irving Brant.
Volume 2 of Mr.. Brant's life Of
Madison covers the period from his
entrance into the Continental Con-
gress to the eve of the convention
which wrote the Constitution. A
good, solid work of impressive schol-
arship.

life Of the man who gave the Revo-
lutionists an air of financial respec-
liability.
