...startling, perhaps a rude question to fire at a lady as she entered a hall to conduct a political rally. But U. S. Representative Louis T. McFadden, of branch-banking law fame, saw fit to fire it at Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, who is contesting his seat in Pennsylvania's 14th District. The meeting was in Canton, Pa., Mr. McFadden's home town, last fortnight. The Cantonese are not very particular about liquor and smoking, even for women, but Mrs. Pinchot is running Dry, like her militant husband who used to govern Pennsylvania (1923-27). Mrs. Pinchot is running...
Representative McFadden was rather hotly hissed by his fellow-townsmen. Last week, observers said that the episode had redounded greatly to Mr. McFadden's discredit and might well result in another lady member of Congress...
...Pinchot, who lives at Milford, on the east edge of Pennsylvania, lately had a more trying experience than Mr. McFadden's question. She was being motored home from Towanda by William F. Hinkle, her chauffeur. Near Susquehanna, Hinkle collapsed at the wheel. The car dashed off the road, grazed a pole, stopped itself.

The business of its offices, now nearly 300, all in California, requires that one board of management sit constantly in San Francisco, and another in Los Angeles. James Augustus Bacigalupi is president...
...York Graphic in its best moments is perhaps more amusing than Mr. Enwright's contribution to journalism. But after all there is only one Bernarr McFadden and those who pattern their wares on his must be content with minor laurels. The Telegram certainly will have its public, for even a constant perusal of the Advertiser occasionally fails to appease the public's taste for the elemental, the passionate primitive. Mr. Enwright is to be complimented on the success with which he has composed and executed his sheet without falling back on the usual resources of the journalist, news...
