...Dealers in Washington did not look on Mayor Kelly & friends with much Democratic warmth and ardor. Their recommendations for Federal patronage were pigeonholed and other Democrats, not of their clique, got coveted appointments. None of this was a cheering prelude to the fact that Chicago must elect a new Mayor next spring. But last fortnight the New Deal swept the nation. Its results were glorious for Mr. Kelly. All his friends up for office in local elections won handily...
...chill morning last week the ranking Democrats of Pennsylvania halted election celebrations to journey to a slag-piled hill near the town of McAdoo. There Governor-elect George H. Earle stood beside a freshly-turned grave. There, too, stood Senator-elect Joseph F. Guffey, Democratic State Chairman David Lawrence, onetime Commonwealth Secretary Richard J. Beamish.

A noted boozer, tobacco-chewer and wencher, sly "Ace" is first seen confessing his sins to a camp-meeting audience so he can mount the rostrum and persuade the good folk to elect him Kansas' first Senator in 1861. He is elected, goes thoroughly jingo when the first shell bursts over Fort Sumter, becomes chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. Then, after three years, "Ace" is sickened by the casualty lists, decides to end the fighting...
