...Governor's room. Louisville police ridiculed it all. An "ice water guard and food inspector" was appointed to "protect" Senator Barkley. At a big Barkley rally last Week in Louisville, a monster pitcher of ice water was placed on the speaker's table. Interrupting his address dramatically, Mr. Barkley pointed at the pitcher and cried: "Has it been tested...
...much smaller piece of business-reconsideration of a highly unpopular Townsend act called the Gadget Law. Every Indiana motorist was required to buy from the State for 25? a celluloid container for his registration card, which he had to stick on his windshield so that his name and address clearly showed.

The fight must be fought through to a decision...

But Mr. Babson still had a few more pearls to cast. In his official address as retiring moderator, he predicted a new revolt in Protestantism, back to primitive Christianity. It will include, said he, "a revolt against a few socialistic or capitalistic delegates, at national church conclaves, passing resolutions pretending to bind the entire membership." But the pearls lay where they fell. The convention proceeded to do just...
