...Willis boom finally became a hollow frogskin when three other names-Lowden, Curtis, Watson-were given out as unofficial "second choice" men for whom Willis delegates might eventually vote. This made Ohio a microcosm of Republicanism all over the country-Hoover v. the Field. Candidate Dawes had the self-respect to forbid the Willis people to include his name on their auxiliary roster, saying he was still for his friend, Candidate Lowden...
Odds. Bets placed last week in Wall Street against the Hoover nomination, 9 to 5; against the Dawes or Lowden, 10 to 4; against the Curtis, 10 to 1; against the Smith...

Young Mr. Roosevelt with his attacks on Smith is doing much to damage Republican prestige. Disrupting are Borah's attempts to force a plank on Prohibition. But on the whole, the Republicans' present prosperous administration gives them an inestimable advantage. And with the parties representing...
