...loudly gunning for "stool pigeons of King George" eight years ago, the best he could bring down was William Andrew Me Andrew, the city's white-bearded school superintendent whom Mayor William Dever had imported from New York. "Big Bill" flung abuse at Superintendent McAndrew, made a great hullabaloo about "pro-British" history textbooks, finally got himself elected Mayor. Superintendent McAndrew watched the Thompson antics with fine disdain, stood a farcical trial for insubordination, finally retired to East Setauket, N. Y. There he edits the "Educational Review" in School & Society...
Plays, Paintings, Preserves. The substantial background behind all this hullabaloo was a vast miscellany of activities without which a Fair would not be a Fair. There were countless lectures by Iowa professors, social workers, Farm Bureau Federation executives on interior decoration, weaving, child psychology, farm plumbing, "Childhood Then & Now," "The Farm Woman A World Citizen." And on shelf after shelf, through aisle after aisle were stacked the products that Iowa's women had wrought from their gardens, cook stoves and work baskets.

Ostensibly because the California Supreme Court has turned down Tom Mooney's appeals four times, the Irish Reds threw around leaflets saying, "Owsley does not represent the American people and therefore can not expect cead mille failte...
...This time Jim Farley's numerous enemies set up a tremendous hullabaloo. The Republican Press burgeoned with sarcastic editorials charging him with deliberately deceiving the nation. Wrote Political Pundit Frank R. Kent in the Baltimore Sun: "In a normal administration no department head would have dared present such a report. He would have known it would be analyzed at once, the joker discovered and the pretense punctured. . . . The truth is Mr. Farley spent $52,000,000 more last year than he took in and his 'surplus' is obtained only by not charging as expenses some $64,000,000. . . . Having performed...
