This year three of President Roosevelt's New Deal friends are up for re-election to the Senate: Republican Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, Republican Hiram Johnson of California, Progressive Robert La Follette of Wisconsin. Last January the President publicly announced that he favored Senator Johnson's reelection, thus putting out of joint the nose of many an ambitious California Democrat. On his way back from Hawaii the President, speaking at Green Bay, Wis., is expected to put the stamp of his personal approval on Senator La Follette's candidacy...
...President may, but a Postmaster General may not, disjoint the noses of too many local party followers. On his way West Mr. Farley ingenuously admitted that he would "say a few kind words for Hiram," but would deliberately avoid Wisconsin, leaving that State to "The Boss...
...athletic import of the race declined, its social prestige increased. Last week more than half of the commissioned yachts in Eastern waters were crowded into the mouth of the Thames. Biggest were boats like Carl Tucker's Migrant (661 tons), Arthur Curtiss James's Aloha (659 tons), Hiram Edward Manville's Hi-Esmaro (1,333 tons). J. P. Morgan's Corsair (2,181 tons), like Gerard B.

Paris chuckled last week at news that "Momo," pulling a solemn face, had visited the U. S. Senate, steered by California's Hiram Johnson who guided his flaccid right hand into the rough-textured paw of Vice President John Garner. Paris was not surprised that "Momo," before reaching Washington, had visited the Chicago Century of Progress and care fully inspected that show's latest thing in painted nudity - Miss Mona Leslie who pops...
...difficulties about Fair-going last year was that a visitor had to do his long-distance tramping with a bottle in his pocket if he expected any refreshment stronger than beer. There are no saloons at the new Fair, but plenty of hard liquor is served with "meals." Hiram Walker had a big whale-backed building inside which an exhibition distillery was humming. Most of last year's real fun was to be had in the ribald Streets of Paris and in the Belgian and Midget Villages. Last week's Fair vistors found no dearth of villages-American...
