From Washington stalked New Hampshire's grim, trumpet-voiced Senator Charles William Tobey, Republican head-hunter on the Senate Committee on Campaign Expenditures. He expected to be joined by Arkansas's Senator John Elvis Miller, a Democrat but no New Dealer. Senator Tobey got a room in Newark, whetted his ax, spit on his hands and took a stance.

By choosing Senators Styles Bridges and Charles Tobey, onetime Senator George Higgins Moses, onetime Governor Huntley Nowel Spaulding, the hillmen of New Hampshire told Shoemaker Murphy (Thorn McAn) to stick to his last...
