Meantime Republicans were concentrating their energies in pointing out to Democrat Brann's Republican friends that votes for him would vastly injure Alf Landon in the nation. Their new slogan: "A vote for Brann is a vote for the New Deal." Indignantly the Governor summoned reporters, barked: "The New Deal is not an issue in this campaign. This is a State campaign...
...into their expected lead, held it throughout. But that lead was not the 50,000-to-100,000 triumph which Chairman Hamilton had predicted.

Actually, the Attorney General, if he wins, may do no more than warn its publisher to conduct no more name games...
...mobs, of rebellions more brazen than that of Shays, of backstairs gossip and back room intrigues, of whispering campaigns and political assassinations." Last week Historian Bowers, whose current avocation is being U. S. Ambassador to Spain, offered a biography of Jefferson that threw little new light on the great Democrat, but much on the intrigues, incipient rebellions, factional fights that surrounded him. Subtitled The Death Struggle of the Federalists, most of the book's 538 pages detail the decline of the brilliant party that, disregarding the warnings of Hamilton, went in for a suicidal policy of revenge, turned from...
