Glenn on Slavery

An able but infrequent Senate orator is muscular young Otis Ferguson Glenn of Illinois. Lately President Hoover has complained because no Republican has been rising to defend him in the Senate. And Tennessee's red-faced Senator McKellar was attacking the President with charges so hackneyed that even good Democrats were embarrassed. So Senator Glenn got to his feet and made a speech. Excerpt:

"No man in the history of the Republic . . . has rendered more sincere, more unselfish service than the present President of the United States. Rising in the morning at 7 o'clock . . . into his office before 9 o'clock . . . then to lunch . . . and all afternoon chained to his desk like a slave, working for America as he honestly and sincerely believes to be to its interest. "Then to dinner . . . then to bed; and they tell me that even in the night this man, unfaithful to America as some are saying, awakens and works in his bed for an hour or two upon the things he did not find time to deal with during the day."
