Daniels and His Simplicity Shows Jeffersonian Fight
Washington March 10 Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels embodies Democratic simplicity. He lunches at his desk after sending a milk and tongue sandwich to his door guarded by a Negro orderly. An admiral is ushered in as Daniels continues eating while a telegram about an explosion near Baltimore is referred to the proper department. Daniels works long hours, wears his Washington hat, and dismisses social traditions as he keeps office near the White House.
