...government, to fix salaries arbitrarily, to declare null & void any provisions of the city charter which conflicted with his program. Occupied with fighting opposition from Tammany legislators at Albany, he was not prepared to be stopped in his bold career by a high-minded Governor. As everyone knows, Democrat Herbert Henry Lehman is the great and good friend of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Very sick (appendectomy) last autumn when Mayor LaGuardia won the first reform vic tory in New York City in 20 years, mild-mannered Governor Lehman was dutifully on deck last week for the opening of his Legislature...

Wyoming voters did not question Joe O'Mahoney's abilities, for he had helped run every State Democratic campaign since 1922. At the last national convention in Chicago party leaders liked him so well that James Aloysius Farley made him vice chairman of the campaign committee.
