Into Political Life
(Continued from Page 1.)
year that he had cleaned up $500,-
000 the previous year alone in his
coal land deals. He is reckoned
safely within the millionaire class.
He has a mathematical and an
lytical mind which has developed in
his unusual executive ability for a
man long in congress. He is a
hard worker and expects his asso
ciates to work equally hard. Some
who have worked with him term
him a “driver." He will work
night and day to put through some
proposition an'd then take time off
to rest up.
When he tackles a job he has a
definite objective in mind and is
inclined to be intolerant of ob
stacles and impatient of delays that
may intervene. He hates details
himself, shouldering them off onto
others. He is wholy unmethodical
and hates routine.
He is a fast thinker, and either
when writing himself or dictating
he chafes at the inability of the
material record to keep up with his
thought. Ke can’t bear being cir
cumscribed; he must be free, foot
loose, and can tolerate no situation
in which he must occupy a position
of subordinate.
Two years older than the presi
dent and far better grounded in the
school of practical politics, Slemp
comes to his job largely through
the recommendation of Speaker
Gillette and Secretary Weeks.
Slemp had an active part in the
last speakership fight, in which Gil
lette was elevated to presiding of
ficer of the house.
He was a Gillette lieutenant then.
He turned the trick.
He is a Coolidge lieutenant now.
Can he do the same this time?
That’s the question.
Slemp plays a fair game of golf,
but he’s not a golf bug. He plays
a better game of poker, but can
play it or let it alone. H'e is pop
ular with women, but is not easi
ly impressionable.
Contrary to popular opinion he is
not a bachelor. Who’s Who shows
him as "unmarried.” However,
shortly after coming to congress he
brought to Washington a Louisiana
belle as his bride. She remained
here only a few weeks, however,
and a divorce on grounds of “in
compatibility” shortly followed.
