Hollywood, Aug. 23. Will Rogers was urged to run for offices from president to city councilman but laughed off the idea. A lifelong Democrat who avoided strict partisanship, he appeared on Republican programs and contributed to Democratic coffers anonymously. He loved national conventions, joked about politics, and was famed for polo and a large string of ponies.
