...Equally important, from an operating standpoint, is the L. & N. fight with Federal Coordinator Joseph Bartlett Eastman which President Hill inherited. Fortnight ago three Federal judges in Chicago found against L.& N. in its effort to switch crack Florida-Chicago trains from debt-ridden Chicago & Eastern Illinois to New York Central's "Big Four." To the U. S. Supreme Court L. & N. may appeal the court's decision upholding Mr. Eastman...

While still retaining the conservative South, the Party captivated North and West with a new brand of social reform and economic experiment. But, more important from a purely political standpoint, the Democratic party had become a going concern of tremendous proportions. Its machines in the North had been given new power (see p. 13) and the long disused national machinery, lubricated with Federal patronage and supercharged with fuel from the Federal treasury, had got up enough steam so that, barring...
