POLITICAL NOTES: Republican Hopkins

Fortnight ago Federal Relief Administrator Harry Lloyd Hopkins privately asked Dr. Lewis Andrew Hopkins of Tacoma, Wash., his eldest brother, how it happened that he was running for nomination as coroner of Pierce County on the Republican ticket. Last week Brother Lewis stopped celebrating his nomination long enough to answer publicly: “Why, the only other political job Harry ever had was under a Republican Administration. That was when he was in charge of widows’ pensions in the City of New York under John Purroy Mitchel. I just wanted to be in a position to give Harry a job in 1936.”
