Throughout his 1928 campaign Herbert Hoover deliberately and pointedly ignored Alfred Emanuel Smith. Not once was the Democratic nominee mentioned in a Hoover speech. Election returns that year amply proved this good Republican strategy and up to last week President Hoover had cast his 1932 campaign in practically the same mold. He refused to appear conscious that he had a man named Franklin Delano Roosevelt running against him. Declining to take the stump, he appeared to set the Presidency above partisanship. Instead of advertising his adversary by hand-to-hand combat, he advertised his relief program by intense activity...
Last week Editor George Horace Lorimer of the Satevepost regretfully made known that, contrary to prior announcement, Alfred Emanuel Smith would not write a reply to Calvin Coolidge's "The Republican Case."

At the same time, he offered Lasky a chance to produce three a year under Cohen's eye. Schulberg accepted. Lasky refused...
...Press sniffed a good railroad story last week. A committee to look into railroad problems was appointed by the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, the members of which own 13% of all railroad bonds. And vague rumors were afloat in Wall Street that Calvin Cool idge, Alfred Emanuel Smith and others whose voices could command the respect of investors and legislators, would soon look into the railroad situation. There was truth in the story, though its exact nature was probably to remain nebulous for some weeks. It was apparent that the railroads, a blight on the U. S. economic...
