Rent and sore from its April primary, the G. 0. P. of Ohio last week reached the first stage of real convalescence. Carmi Alderman Thompson, voluble Clevelander who led the late Senator Willis' presidential campaign and inveighed bitterly against the invading forces of Hooverism, withdrew his candidacy for the U. S. Senate in favor of Representative Theodore Elijah Burton, venerable Hoover leader. The Thompson withdrawal meant little in itself since the Thompson candidacy looked hopeless against Mr. Burton, who has been a distinguished Senator before now (1905-15). But the Thompson cry for party harmony ("which I prize more...
They sat up late in the Tammany headquarters, arguing it now this way and now that, with Boss Olvaney and other Tammanyites as polite judges. But there was only one "logical" candidate and eventually all were agreed. They could not have Senator Barkley of Kentucky because he had made speeches for Anti-Saloon League pay. They could not have Representative Hull of Tennessee for a similar reason. Evans Woollen, Indiana banker, was too little known.

At Malone, the Federal men confiscated some 4,000 bottles of prime Canadian whiskey, gin, wines, beer. Acrobats had it hidden in their kimonos. A Spanish couple hid it beneath their infants in an upper berth...
...protection. One of the most profitable "rackets" in the Chicago underworld is in the cleaning and dyeing industry. The profits reach $1,500,000 per annum. Credit for bringing the "racket" to its Chicagoan perfection belongs largely to Timothy D. ("Big Tim") Murphy-who last week became the late Timothy Murphy. A towering burly who relied largely upon his fists in his hard-shooting environment, he rose to be a political power through the railroad labor unions. Then, with gunmen at his command, he pursued the "racket" of organizing other unions. Percentages of the dues kept...
