...stupidity of his opponents. Loudest of his opponents was Theodore Roosevelt the younger. Last week, notwithstanding Chairman Work's announcement that the Hoover campaign would not indulge in personal attacks, Theodore Roosevelt the younger spoke at Rochester, N.Y., a speech he had learned by heart during previous anti-Smith campaigns. He elaborately explained that no man would question Governor Smith's personal integrity. Then he juxtaposed the Smith name with a sewer scandal, a gambling pool, a milk scandal, and with the oldtime sins of Tammany Hall...
...with Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Beside them were two Wilson Cabinet men, Josephus Daniels and Carter Glass. Opposing, sat truculent young Senator Tydings of Maryland, arch Senator Edwards of New Jersey, solid Senator Wagner of New York and other Wets. Hovering near were Anti-Saloon Leaguers; Captain William H. Stayton of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment; many a busybody, many a crank. Sebastian Spering Kresge, 5-and-10-cent man, was there, presumably to see that the Anti-Saloon League was mak-ing good use of some of the $500,000 he gave...
...late in the Tammany headquarters, arguing it now this way and now that, with Boss Olvaney and other Tammanyites as polite judges. But there was only one "logical" candidate and eventually all were agreed. They could not have Senator Barkley of Kentucky because he had made speeches for Anti-Saloon League pay.

After the nomination and the Smith telegram denouncing Prohibition, the anti-Smith movement was given somewhat more definite form. Preachermen, including Bishop James Cannon Jr. (Methodist Episcopal) and the Rev. Arthur J. Barton (Baptist), called for a Dry rally at Asheville, N. C., next week and for a "National Jacksonian Democratic Convention" on Aug. 7 at Richmond, Va. Observers doubted that these gatherings, if held, would become any more significant than the proposed national convention of the Prohibition...
...dominant Mexican regime is that of President Plutarco Elias Calles and General Alvaro Obregon. They are friends, agrarians, Nationalists, anti-Roman Catholics. They have caused the. Constitution to be amended so that a former President (General Obregon, 1920-24) can be re-elected (TIME, Nov. 1, 1926). They have caused to be shot as revolutionaries the only other presidential candidates, General Arnulfo Gomez (he of the Kaiser-like mustachios) and General Francisco Serrano (TIME, Nov. 21 et ante}. Therefore, General Alvaro Obregon, stern, one-armed warrior, rich rancher, ruthless patriot, was unanimously elected President of Mexico last week?there being...
