He was founder of the Military Training Camps Association, chairman of the National Emergency Committee for Selective Service, organizer of the National Economy League and was active and instrumental in many other organizations.
"He has been given the epithet, "statesman incognito", because he was virtually unknown to the general public but known very well to a few thousand persons of large influence in national affairs."
