Preacher Shuler's primary votes were 197,624 Republican, 85,000 Democratic, 3,600 Prohibition. In 1928 the Prohibition nominee got 92,106 votes. That year more than a million and a half votes were cast in the Senate election. Ablest observers predict that by no means all the Republicans and Democrats who supported Preacher Shuler in the primary will vote for him in the election, that his chance of a winning plurality is distinctly outside...
...George Lott Jr. & Frank Shields and the defending champions, John Van Ryn & Wilmer Allison. It often happens, despite careful seeding, that the best match in a national tournament comes in the semi-finals and it happened last week, when Van Ryn & Allison played Lott & Shields.

Arriving early on the scene the anti-Roosevelt forces under Alfred Emanuel Smith had opened a stinging fire on the candidacy of the New York Governor. This party strife a hundred newsmen, ablest of their profession, were on hand to megaphone to the country. On the front page of his nationwide press Democrat William Randolph Hearst, having plumped for the candidacy of Speaker Garner and found it hopeless, exhorted Democrats to be truly democratic and drop the old two-thirds rule required...
