Manager v. Swinger. California has had no Democratic Senator since James Duval Phelan's term expired in 1921. On the Aug. 30 primary ballot are six names: Parson M. Abbott, Maurice James McCarthy, Annie Riley Hale, Robert Pierce Shuler, Justus S. Wardell, William Gibbs McAdoo. Abbott and McCarthy are irreconcilable supporters of Alfred Emanuel Smith who still think this is 1928. The candidacy of Mrs. Hale (Colyumist Heywood Broun's mother-in-law) is not taken seriously. ''Bob" Shuler, a radio revivalist, is a political maverick who is also running in the Republican primary. The real race appeared...
McAdoodles. Mr. McAdoo helped nominate Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore in 1912. He managed that year's winning Democratic campaign. He served six years as Secretary of the Treasury. He fished for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1920, fought hard for it in 1924. But never has this versatile, long-nosed politician held elective office. His California campaign was his first attempt in his own behalf. In The Blue Streak, his three-year-old Lockheed Vega, piloted by Capt. Harry Ashe, he toured Northern California. He harangued State societies in & around Los Angeles. Typical McAdoodle...
...Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo floated four Liberty Loans totalling $16,940,000,000.* To the Allied Powers during the War he passed out $7,296,000,000 which, with $2,170,000,000 advanced after the Armistice, became the War Debts. As the man directly responsible for these loans, he made their collection in full a major item in his campaign. Said...
...Sham." As Dry as ever was Candidate McAdoo early last year before the Wet wave began to engulf national politics. At that time he solemnly pontificated: "Relegalizing liquor will not put food into a single hungry mouth. ... To make liquor the chief plank in the next national platform is to fight a sham battle because the 18th Amendment is here to stay and the quicker we recognize it the better." This year when the deluge started, Mr. McAdoo became less sure of the permanence of the 18th Amendment. He commenced mumbling the familiar weasel: "Referendum." After his party declared...
Puffs. A 30-year friendship links Mr. McAdoo and Publisher William Randolph Hearst. When Mr. Hearst picked Speaker Garner as a presidential winner last spring, Mr. McAdoo was his first and only important recruit. Mr. Hearst was as much responsible for the shift play at Chicago resulting in the Roosevelt nomination as Mr. McAdoo. They both feared and hated internationally-minded Newton Diehl Baker as a deadlock candidate. Californians were not surprised this month when five Hearstpapers (Los Angeles Examiner and Herald & Express, San Francisco Examiner and Call and Oakland Post-Enquirer) began puffing the McAdoo Senatorial candidacy...
