    If I am defeated for the next nomination, I think it will be by [Charles Evans] Hughes. And I don’t think he will allow his name to be used unless he really feels that I have no chance to win. I do not think Theodore Roosevelt will allow his name to come before the convention.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    School days, school days; dear old golden rule days.
    Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic; taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick.
    Will D. Cobb (1876–1930)
