Early in 1929 John Jacob Raskob, to revive the defeat-shattered Democracy, put Mr. Shouse in charge of the party's Washington headquarters. For three years Democrat Shouse directed an effective drumfire of criticism upon the Republican administration. He, more than any oilier individual, was responsible for the fact that the House went Democratic after the 1930 election. G. O. Partisans blamed him for what they called the ''Smear Hoover" campaign. A Raskobite, he was eclipsed by the rise of the Roosevelt candidacy, denied the permanent chairmanship of the Chicago convention (TIME, July 4 & n). Politically jobless...
...plump little wife, Janet Allen Walker, carrying her white poodle Togo. "My place," she said, "is beside my husband. If the worst comes, we can go to my Iowa farm." Three hours later when the Mayor left his private car at Albany, the Brothers O'Connell, local Democratic bosses, on hand with 5,000 hollering henchmen gave him hugs of welcome.

Some Socialists think his vote will go as high as two million as a reaction to hard times. This expectation is based on the idea that many a liberal Republican and Democrat will protest-vote the Socialist ticket. Last month in Cleveland the League for Independent Political Action, led by Columbia's dreamy Professor John Dewey, plunked for Nominee Thomas...
...known until 1896 as the College of New Jersey. Last week Princeton prepared to make itself as publicly useful as any State college might be. Governor Arthur Harry Moore asked the State Legislature during its last session to consider reorganizing the New Jersey government for economy. A Democrat, he was snubbed by the Republican legislators. Last week he removed the matter from politics. Mentioning "Princeton's unselfish devotion to public welfare," he wrote Acting President Edward Dickinson Duffield, invited Princeton's Department of Political Science and other "expert facilities" to survey New Jersey government, submit "nonpartisan and fully...
