Ford, Democrat Rogers made only one recorded speech, which was broadcast four times. While in the Army, he continued to write a column for his paper. Excerpt from last week's: "The first time I cranked and fired the 75 ... I couldn't hit my hat. Cranking the blooming thing is like patting your head and rubbing your stomach. ...

...relatives charged that Dr. Darlington had made love to the widow for ten years to get the money; Dr. Darlington's attorneys described the relationship as pure mother-&-son. Twenty-eight affectionate letters were introduced. One of them: "Dear Anna: Lots of love. Off to Paris tonight. Harry." Excerpt from another from Harry: "Everything is so mixed up. But where there is a will, there is a way." It looked like a long, ambiguous fight...
