...leaders felt that their Hoover campaign would not be complete without young T. R., now Governor General of the Philippines. They thought they needed him to counteract Democratic use of a Republican name. Cable grams passed between Washington and Manila. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, whose dislike for the Democratic Frank lin is intensely real, implored her half-brother to return from his provincial post and take the stump. As she had helped to get him his job, her words carried weight. A vice-governor was appointed to carry on while "Teddy" was fighting "Frank" on the mainland. Though represented as extremely...
...China as "The Young Mar-shal," Chang Hsueh-liang. He is the deposed warlord of Manchuria and, until last week, ruler of Peiping and the surrounding province. Last week destiny caught up with him and with the rest of China. Chang Hsueh-liang is the son of Chang Tso-lin, one of the most picturesque Chinese characters to emerge since the death of that grand old lady, the Empress Dowager Tzu-hsi.

Into this post of honor, suddenly shorn of much of its power, was popped the venerable Lin Sen, born at Foochow, aged 67, prominent in China's revolutionary struggles and a onetime resident of California. Premier Sun, who thus unexpectedly emerged as the directive head of a new kind of Chinese Cabinet, was expected to have as his Minister of Foreign Affairs famed Eugene Chen...
...Short, slender and serene is Hero Ma. He looks almost exactly like the late, great Manchurian War Lord Chang Tso-lin under whom he learned to fight. Like Marshal Chang's mustache, the mustache of General Ma is thin, black and drooping. Like Chang's head. Ma's head is closely shaven, glistens. As small Marshal Chang used to be small General Ma is the terror of a General Staff composed exclusively of tall, strapping, exceedingly respectful Chinese officers. They bent their large bodies over staff maps last week while General Ma in silken house slippers...
