...went on to discuss minimum wages and hours of Labor. He recited from memory the text of a note which he had sent the late Gus Gennerich to get from a weeping girl who stood beside the line of march on his triumphant tour of New England before election: "Dear Mr. President...
...proof of his enduring identity, Mr. Cohan is exactly the same person as he was last year in "Dear Old Daddy".

Its 15-story building at Broadway and 14th Street, where 15 Oakland trolley lines converge, is described by the bank as "sublimated and refined Italian Romanesque." Last week Amadeo Peter Giannini, who if not precisely sublimated or Romanesque is at least refined Italian, reached out across the Bay from San Francisco, firmly grasped the stoutly independent Central Bank of Oakland...
