Since Alfred Emanuel Smith became the Democracy's sheet anchor, many a Dry Democrat has "swallowed the anchor" with many a different kind of grin and grimace. Charles Wayland Bryan, brother and manager of the late William Jennings ("grape juice") Bryan whose opposition to a Smith nomination in 1924 was second only to the McAdoo bitterness, is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Nebraska this year. His method of anchor-swallowing last week, was to announce that he would support the Democratic ticket from the president down, for the following reason: "The Prohibition issue which...
...would not disturb it by attempting to describe to him the heavy weight that he laid upon my family when he accused me of being a friend of prostitution. . . . My record as an opponent of immorality is fixed and secure. Publicly and by many letters in my possession, the late Rev. Canon John P. Peters, when chairman of the Committee of Fourteen, the leading anti-vice society of New York, repeatedly thanked me for my co-operation with that organization.

Senator, was running for office in 1926, an opponent belittled his act, at the beginning of the War, of escorting the late Mrs. Lily Busch out of Germany. The German vote arose, swept Howes to office...
...sister ships, the longest in the world (938 feet), were launched, last week, from German yards, and will go into service late next spring for the North German Lloyd. The sisters are Europa and Bremen. Though slim and expected to challenge the trans-Atlantic speed record held by the Cunarder Mauretania, the Teuton sisters will be no lightweights (46,500 tons each). Thus they will be but little lighter than the two heaviest liners in the world: Leviathan and Majestic, which were originally Hamburg-American sister ships, but were snatched from Germany by the Allies...
