Since Alf Landon himself plumped for minimum-wages-for-women in his convention telegram, it seemed improbable that Joe Tipaldo would be employed in the Republican campaign. Already enlisted as a GOP speaker, however, was a more famed New Deal martyr, Fred C. Perkins of York, Pa. Because he could not pay workers in his battery plant NRA code wages, the big, hairy-fisted onetime Cornell footballer went to jail for 18 days, was fined $1,500, became the nation's prime symbol of the "little man" oppressed by NRA (TIME, Dec. 17, 1934 et seq.).

...votes. That shows how much they love me. I hope they'll love me on Nov. 3." Thus burbled Massachusetts' Governor James Michael Curley following his Democratic nomination for Senator last week.

Instead of grubbing for renomination in the primary campaign, the Senator rented a yacht, disdainfully went off fishing on the Great Lakes. His cause was still far from lost when he returned to shore last month. Then, against the advice of friends, he boldly announced: "Believing as I do that the most important matter confronting the nation is the re-election of President Roosevelt, I intend...
