Having left Republican Governor Lawrence McCully Judd on the job ten months longer than he had a right to expect, President Roosevelt last week named Democrat Joseph Boyd Poindexter of Honolulu as his successor...
...American Agriculturist, founded in 1842, was run from 1853 to 1883 by Orange Judd, a crony of Horace Greeley, who after the Civil War used it to combat his friend's opinions on reconstruction problems as well as to advise farmers what to feed their pigs. From 1883, when Long Island real estate speculations forced Orange Judd to sell his interest, until 1922, when Henry Morgenthau Jr. bought it, the Agriculturist went slowly to seed. Owner Morgenthau's Editor Edward Roe Eastman doubled its circulation, now 161,145. Last May the Agriculturist, beneath its masthead of cows...
...time the storm beat chiefly around the educational issues involved. Then it centred on political machinations and the authenticity of the Board's announced $10,000,000 deficit in 1933 which it had offered as motive of its economizing. At the mass meeting Dean Judd traced the economy move back to an order from Mayor Edward Joseph Kelly, who had in turn taken his orders from Publisher Robert Rutherford McCormick of the Chicago Tribune. In the matter of the deficit, Dean Judd gave to the Board the lie direct...
...Herald & Examiner had previously asserted that the deficit was really only some $5,000,000, to which the Board had added $2,600,000 in anticipation of a hypothetical decrease in tax revenues. Now Dean Judd charged outright that the Board had deliberately misstated the deficit in order to frighten the public into accepting its cuts. Even if it were trying to wipe out in one year the deficit accumulated since 1929, that, at 1932's end, had been less than $7,000,000. As for 1933's genuine deficit of $1,162,940, that had already been...
Superintendent Bogan then proceeded to outline a substitute plan by which the disputed $4,000,000 could be saved, chiefly by still another two-week shortening of the school term, a payless week for teachers. But the audience, happily accepting Dean Judd's figures, would hear of no more school economies. Ignoring Superintendent Bogan, they adopted unanimously resolutions: 1) demanding that the Board rescind its order or resign; 2 & 3) calling on Mayor Kelly and Illinois' Governor Henry Horner to intervene; 4) extending "profound thanks and appreciation" to William Randolph Hearst and the editor of the Herald & Examiner...
