...grey-mustachioed gentleman removed from his mouth a long, black stogy, glared at his inquisitor. "Who," said he, "do you think I am?" "Why, Theodore Roberts, the movie actor," gasped the reporter. "You are mistaken, sir! My name is Cummins." Last week great grandfather Albert Baird Cummins, Senator from Iowa, for nearly two decades one of the greatest influences in the governance of the U. S. was stricken with heart disease, died suddenly. Theodore Roberts, merely a grandfather, went on living, acting. On Feb. 15, 1850, a man-child was born in Carmichaels, Pa. Waynesburg College taught him law, Iowa...
...McKinley. Said Senator Reed: "This utility giver is apparently out to land on both feet." During the week corroborating evidence was forthcoming from many a bigwig who came beneath Senator Reed's sharp eye, sharper tongue-among them: James Simpson, President of Marshall Field & Co.; Smith W. Brookhart, Iowa Republican Senatorial candidate; Chester Willoughby, secretary to Senator McKinley whom Brookhart defeated; States Attorney Robert E. Crowe (Leopold and Loeb prosecutor) ; A. F. Moore, Col. Smith's campaign manager, who himself contributed $75,000 to his candidate's campaign. The inquisition had disclosed the following expenditures: Frank...

In Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, the Democratic chances are good, in fact better than in any election since Wilsonian times.

In Masisachusetts where David Ignatius Walsh, onetime Governor and Senator,* beloved of the Irish of Boston, the most potent Democratic vote-getter in New England, clashes with Senator...

...Springfield. Ball players of Peoria and Springfield, Ill., in the "Three Eye" league (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa) slumped into their showers one evening last week, footsore and weary. They had had a terrible afternoon. Peoria batsmen had knocked 27 safe hits, trudged around the bases to score 23 runs. And Springfield batsmen had made 22 safe hits; had frequently been obliged to take their bases on balls; had worn their cleats down to buttons scoring 33 runs. Pitchers had come and gone with kaleidoscopic effect, tiring the eyes. The outfielders of the two teams had chased, collectively, ten home runs, four...
