...from all eleven wards showed that Mayor Russell had received a total of 19,361 votes, while John D. Lynch, his opponent, had polled 16,571 votes. The election in Boston proved the closest of the three, with Mansfield edging out former Mayor Malcolm E. Nichols '99, by a margin of 1,892 votes. The contest was so close that a recount may be necessary. The total number of votes cast for the candidates from all 362 precincts was as follows: Mansfield, 69,731; Nichols, 67,839; Foley, 61,371; Parkman, 28,844; O'Connell, 10,204; Sullivan...
What the leaders really mean, and should say, for it is indictment enough, is that the economy of depression shows forth the hollowness of the ideal known as free competition. In prosperous times, the efficient farmer is willing to reap his reward in a greater profit margin, and will tolerate the selfgratulatory gabble of his inferiors so long as his own sales volume is unimpaired. But when price becomes a sharp issue, he is wont to maintain his volume at their expense, which is what is meant by free competition. Immediately the hinds call treason, puncture the tires...
...most exciting finish of the fall sculling regatta finals held yesterday afternoon, Richard G. Ames '34, rowing in the half-mile narrow comp race, nosed out John A. Carley '36 by a margin of a scant two feet.

The time was 3 minutes, 45 seconds...
...always come back after a municipal purging. Ahearn's youth and vitality may be sorely needed for the comeback. Kiss. Straw votes gathered by the Literary Digest, Daily News, Brooklyn Eagle and RKO theatres indicated last fortnight that LaGuardia was leading O'Brien by a wide margin. When McKee entered the race, the nucleus of his support was Democratic votes taken back from LaGuardia, plus defections from Tammany. Last week there were signs that he would get a lot of Republican votes too. The city's leading G. O. Partisans like Ruth Pratt and Ogden Mills were...
...Code's administrative board and its local committees. Neglect of consumers, he warned, was likely to be disastrous. And then Mr. Percy took a look at the disputed Article VIII: "If retail groups can fix prices at ... cost plus 10%," reasoned Mr. Percy, "they may logically raise the margin to 15%, 25% or even higher. The adoption of such a principle . . . will choke the free flow of commerce and shrink volume. . . . Sugar coating the price-fixing pill by the phrase 'to insure that labor costs shall be at least partially covered' does not alter the economic fact...
