NEW JERSEY: Wanted: An Eraser

New Jersey’s millionaire Senator Albert Hawkes, turned down by his state’s G.O.P. committee as a candidate for reelection (TIME, Feb. 2), continued his campaign anyway. Last week in Washington he made a speech before a dinner-meeting of Jersey bigwigs. Trumpeted Senator Hawkes: “Hatred must be erased from our hearts. I have never hated anyone in my life longer than overnight. There is one exception—and he lies buried in Hyde Park.”
