Myself: Isce." O'Donnell: "But I don't like talking about my private life." We then made a tour of a number of night clubs, and I was struck by the respect which the lean, athletic figure of "Spike" commanded wherever it showed itself. We talked a great deal about politics and the judicial system. O'Donnell said he was

next Presidential election be- cause he was the greatest states- man and the shrewdest politician the country had thrown up in many years. "Besides,"

added O'Donnell, "there is that four thousand million dollar relief fund. You can't beat four thousand million. dollars in this country."

ASKED him who the Re- publican candidate would be. He checked the possibilities off on his fingers. There was Governor Landon, of Karisas, Colonel. Frank Knox, of the Chicago · Daily News Senator Borah, and Governor Hoffman, of New Jersey. "Spike" was inelined to think that Landon · would beat Borah in the final outcome.

As to judges, O'Donnell said;" "This system of electing them and making them run for re- election every few years is a bad one. But we get a much better type of man on the Bench than you could imagine from such a method. It's all wrong to pick them by a political caucus, but It's remarkable how many good ones we get."

This tribute from a man with O'Donnell's peculiar experience. is, to say the least, piquant.
