...candidate for office, and hence less philosophic than Governor Curley (see above), is Michigan's onetime (1932-35) Governor William Alfred Comstock, a Democratic wheelhorse who went bankrupt last year, but whose cash and efforts had been credited with sustaining his Party in Michigan through some 30 lean, mostly Republican, years. Charging that National Chairman Farley had broken a 1932 promise to distribute Michigan's Federal jobs through the regular Party organization, handing patronage instead to such political parvenus as Father Coughlin, Democrat Comstock last week announced his resignation from the Party. Cried he: "The Hogskis...

...substitute was riding through Congress last week under circumstances not much better. Pressed by sprouting cotton seed and impatient farm leaders, Senators had no more time to consider than they had in 1933. Pressed by the political necessity of adopting a bill that would result in liberal distributions of cash before Election Day, they had little latitude. The outcome of virtually every roll call could have been predicted on the basis of political expediency. Hence the chief topic of debate while the bill was on the Senate floor was the U. S.
