...Less partisan observers found public sentiment more favorable to President Hoover than it was a year ago, attributed it to popular approval of recent Hoover-sponsored measures against Depression, popular disapproval of malicious attacks on the President by political enemies. Physically the President appeared a little greyer, a little more serious of mien than he was at the two-year mark but in excellent health...
...legislative road. The Republican minority has had an affectionate respect for him as shown by its participation in the uproarious Garner demonstration by the whole House after Bicentennial exercises. The Garner leadership is called the "wonder of the day" at the Capitol. As evidence of his non-partisan co-operation with President Hoover, the Speaker could point to the overwhelming passage by the House of the Debt Moratorium, the Reconstruction Finance Corp., the Federal Land Banks' increased capitalization, the Glass-Steagall bill (see p.11).

...recent statement concerning the League of Nations puts the question of American membership where it belongs with reference to the coming presidential campaign. He wants to see the United States a member of the League of Nations, but he does not want the matter to be made a partisan issue. I entirely subscribe to this position. I have believed since 1919 that our own national interests demand that the United States should be a member of the League of Nations, and I think that it is inevitable that we shall at some time assume our place at the world...
