...your issue of Feb. 9, an article appeared relative to the proposed appointment of Ernest A. Michel as Federal Judge in Minnesota. This article does a very grave injustice to one of the State's outstanding lawyers (not an ambulance chaser) who is the choice of both U.S. Senators, every one of the ten Minnesota Congressmen, and who has received a more overwhelming indorsement than anyone who has ever aspired to such a position.

Indiana's Republican Senator Arthur Raymond Robinson, a lobby chaser, a Huston friend, announced his intention of summoning Mr. Raskob before the same committee and interrogating him sharply as to his contributions to the association against the 18th Amendment and his activities in behalf of Wet legislation. For months the Democratic hue and cry against Mr. Raskob as a Wet Catholic has been quiescent. Party leaders have tried to forget Prohibition, to weld the wings of Democracy together again for the 1930 campaign. Shrewd Republican politicians...
...Easter Hero, handsome, fast steeple chaser, recent Grand National favorite, now suffering from a strained tendon: the Cheltenham Gold Cup at Cheltenham, England, with owner John Hay Whitney of Manhattan looking...
