TIME itself, rather than Mr. McDonald, seems to be guilty of circulation theft, having swiped, in the paragraph quoted above, 3,859 Sunday readers. The average net paid circulation of the Chattanooga Sunday Times for March 1936 (month before Sunday Free Press started publication) was 38,785; for August...
...curve of the nation's political temperature well in advance of lay observers. Last week, after consolidating the readings of his executive committeemen at a consultation in Chicago, Republican National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton announced that the national fever chart of Landon enthusiasm showed a slump during August, but was now displaying a hopeful rise. In that revelation he was one jump ahead of seasoned political writers, who, as the Presidential campaign rounded its Labor Day corner with only eight weeks to go, were agreed that GOProgress had definitely slacked off. Searching for reasons, they solemnly took stock...
Missionaries & money without a gospel, however, are no more effective than a gospel without money & missionaries. To most observers, trying to account last week for the Landon slump during August, the Republican gospel of salvation being preached by Alf Landon on one hand and that being preached by John Hamilton and Frank Knox on the other seemed about as dissonant and confusing to voters as the competing Christianities of a Boston Unitarian and a hard-shell Southern Baptist would be to Hottentot bushmen...

Britain's Counselor estimated that in decreasing...
...August means a big cut in the growing cotton crop. Worst August that anyone in Wall Street remembered was 1927 when the Government's Sept. 1 crop estimate fell a whopping 800,000 bales below its August estimate. Since the official estimates largely determine cotton prices there is big money in guessing right what the next estimate will be. Fortnight ago more than a dozen cotton brokers and experts began this guessing game. Most of them daringly went out on a limb, estimated a record drop of 500,000 to 700,000 bales below the Government's August...
