...evening of Election Day at Hyde Park a torchlight procession marched to the Roosevelt home headed by Elmer Van Wagner, 38, bushy-haired proprietor of a garage and an automobile sales agency, first Democrat elected Supervisor of Hyde Park in a generation. The Supervisor-elect won his campaign by distributing 30 boxes of 5? cigars, and by stanchly championing Mrs. Roosevelt who his Republican opponent, Walter Gilbert, had declared was "whistling up a drain pipe" in her efforts to provide self-sustaining industries to take care of Hyde Park's unemployed. The torchlight procession carried a piece of drain...
...week the same Canadian experts who had reached this impasse in negotiation a few weeks before returned to Washington with new inspiration and new orders. Three days later Prime Minister King hustled in to see what he could do in person. His hopes for greater success, judging by his campaign utterances, rested simply on the fact that his heart was for trade, whereas his predecessor's mind had been preoccupied with tariff. The new Prime Minister is by no means an Anglophile. His predecessor's Empire Trade Preference Agreements are one of the things that Mr. King means...
...Philadelphia Record and other ardent Pennsylvania New Dealers to put the city back on the Democratic map. This Nominee Kelly proceeded to do largely by promoting a grand jury case against Nominee Wilson charging that, as controller, he had diverted some of a $65,000 city appropriation into his campaign chest.

The Laffoon candidate led the Democratic primary with a plurality, lost the run-off to New Dealer Chandler. Aside from fervent hosannas for President Roosevelt, Candidate Chandler's campaign platform-economy, no State sales tax-differed not at all from that of his Republican opponent, austere Judge King Swope. But loud, toothy, red-headed "Happy" Chandler, onetime newsboy, jazz bandleader and football coach, got himself a sound truck with a live rooster for a radiator emblem, put on a Huey...
...stayed on for three years of law, meantime writing special articles for the Boston Transcript to pad out his dwindling $5,500. After a brief and briefless stab at the law in Manhattan, his Transcript record got him a job with Edward Bok for a spirited, 18-month campaign against quack patent medicines in the Ladies' Home Journal. In 1905 came two milestones in Mark Sullivan's life. He went to work for Collier's and he met President Theodore Roosevelt. He stayed with Collier's for twelve years. He is still, in mind and heart...
