...desperately for the President-but they did not seem enough to blast loose the rock of discontent sunk deep in the electorate at large. The last week of the Republican campaign was much like the first-only hotter. Every member of the Cabinet except Attorney General Mitchell (a nominal Democrat) had done his bit and more for the President. At Dayton Secretary of State Stimson proclaimed President Hoover "a real fighting Quaker, thoroughly aroused, smashing down his opponents' positions one by one with irresistible logic."

President Hoover, campaigning in the State, had made a warm personal appeal for Senator Watson's reelection. Watson entered the Senate in 1917, succeeded Charles Curtis as G. 0. P. leader in 1929. Long a Dry, he ran as a Resubmissionist. Senator-elect Van Nuys, a longtime Democratic worker, favors Repeal and beer. There was a real partisan revenge in the defeat of New Hampshire's Senator since...
