Thought on Roosevelt and Rooseveltian policies once caused him to lose his job as a billing clerk. His acquaintance with words was begun while writing news stories out of the Grand Rapids, Mich., city hall. He learned to master them while writing editorials on national and international affairs and books on Alexander Hamilton. He is a self-educated man to some extent. The only schooling he ever had was a high school education and one year at the University of Michigan law school Yet he can put after his name M.A. and LL.D—honorary degrees in recognition of achievement.

Hi¢ voice is one of the best in the Senate. It can be heard beyond the galleries out in the corridor. He hates to be inter- pted while speaking—let's it be known often. In debate he is vehement and sarcastic, yet always polite. He assumes an air of impatience in largument—~pleads with questioners to Jet him develop his side and then he will answer all objections.
