...chosen for economy's sake, as no expensive awning was needed to shade the notifiers. With the Vice President were his sister, Mrs. Dolly Gann; his daughter, Mrs. Leona Knight; his rambunctious son Harry. On the lawn were 5,000 spectators. Nominee Curtis made a speech. It was broadcast over 48 stations but omitted from New York and Chicago...

Hearn, onetime Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, wished to build 27 K. of C. playgrounds in Rome in honor of Pope Benedict XV, it was Monsignor Spellman who smoothed the way.
