Winner of the delegates' popularity contest among Republicans, with some 33,000 votes, was Governor H. Styles Bridges. Close second, with some 30,000 votes, was acidulous George Higgins Moses, who lost his Senate seat to a Democrat in 1932. So high a vote left Old Guardsman Moses beaming with pride, for dearly would he like to make a political comeback. Asked after the primary whether he would run for the Senate this year, he cautiously said, "One fight at a time...
...shrewd Revolutionist Quinn this was just the beginning. Two months ago he demanded a constitutional convention to remove, once & for all, the "rotten borough" system. On the day the bill came up for vote, two Republicans were sick abed, three Democrats opposed it. Not to be caught napping a second time, Republicans dragged 69-year-old Senator Frank E.

Senator Robinson, as angry as only that Democrat leader can get, pointed out that the late Brigadier General William Mitchell had been court-martialed by a Republican Administration for publicly criticizing his superiors...
...candidate for office, and hence less philosophic than Governor Curley (see above), is Michigan's onetime (1932-35) Governor William Alfred Comstock, a Democratic wheelhorse who went bankrupt last year, but whose cash and efforts had been credited with sustaining his Party in Michigan through some 30 lean, mostly Republican, years. Charging that National Chairman Farley had broken a 1932 promise to distribute Michigan's Federal jobs through the regular Party organization, handing patronage instead to such political parvenus as Father Coughlin, Democrat Comstock last week announced his resignation from the Party. Cried he: "The Hogskis...
