Jarecki v. Prystalski In the struggle for State control, the Kelly-Nash machine's greatest asset for the last five years has been its ability to deliver the Cook County vote practically intact. Cook County election machinery is in charge of its county judge, who for the last 16 years has been a nervous-looking gentleman of Polish extraction named Edmund K. Jarecki. Despite his invaluable assistance in years past, Messrs. Kelly and Nash this year found that internal considerations made it advisable to drop Judge Jarecki from the ticket, run a rival Pole, a circuit court judge named...
Were the Cardinals gladly getting rid of a problem child who had caused them many a headache? Were they turning a potential liability (Dizzy Dean won only 13 games and lost 10 last year) into a cash asset? Were they going to concentrate on attack this year with such powerful sluggers as Joe Medwick, Johnny Mize and highly touted Rookie Enos Slaughter?

...such balance sheet the Republican Party's main asset does not appear. This is Depression, the chief cause assignable to the Gallup poll's recent indication that the G. O. P.'s 90 Representatives would be increased by 85. An infallible rule of U. S. politics has always been that bad times, whether justifiably or not, are always attributed by voters to the party in power, which consequently gets ousted. Current Depression, which more plausibly than most, can be attributed to the Federal Government, gives the G. O. P. what it has not had since...
