...Leviathan plowed westward to the U. S. last week, it bore Dwight Whitney Morrow away from the Naval conference at London where he had been a U. S. delegate back to Republican politics in New Jersey where he was a candidate for Senatorial nomination in the June primary. Confronting him were two questions: 1) When should he resign as U. S. Ambassador to Mexico and take the Senate seat to which he had been temporarily appointed? 2) How should he stand on Prohibition?
