He lived among the Indians until he was 15, then he went to schoo!, paying his own way by working as a hack driver. He loved hordes 'and spent a a year or so as jockey. He studied law, supporting himself by driving a hack, and soon became county prosecut or. Gaining popularity as pro secutor, he was soon elected to Congress. Serving in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, he made for hims&lf quite a reputation. In 1928 he was elected Vtce Presi dent with Hoover.
