Secretary Farley, who entered the lists for McKee in such a way as to involve President Roosevelt, is finding his role very difficult as the waves recede on either side. First, it will be remembered, Mr. Curry tricked him into a pledge to support the regular Democratic candidate Dr. O'Brien. The President became a little restless under this stratagem, but when Mr. LaGuardia really let loose at McKee and Farley, he felt that a little easing was in order. Accordingly, Mr. Farley has been instructed to announce that his support of McKee is a personal fealty which does...
True to the traditions of American politics, Messrs, Laguardia, McKee, and O'Brien are hard at work in Manhattan tossing vehement accusations and rancid remarks at each other in well-meaning efforts to show John Public that at the polls he will have a choice between two hellers and one saint, the labels varying according to the speaker. O'Brien is busy pleading for fair play and no quotations; Laguardia occupies himself in smearing his two opponents with the same Tammany brush; and McKee spends his time replying to Judge Seabury's attacks. This is all according to Tweed...
...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.

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 siding...
...pledge. But many a silk-stocking Republican, to whom LaGuardia's radicalism is repugnant and who remembers how the gallant major bedeviled Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, would quietly cast his vote for handsome, upright young Joe McKee. Adding Republican momentum to its original Democratic impetus, McKee's cueball had already clicked off O'Brien's white-ball, was rolling toward LaGuardia's redball. It looked as though a Hooverite kiss would make a Rooseveltian billiard. Wall street was betting 2-to-1 it would...
Ferdinand. Pecora-running for office as District Attorney of New York County on the slate of Joseph V. McKee-last week finished off the Dillon, Read chapter of the U. S. Senate's investigation of bankers. From the investigation of Dillon. Read's investment trusts (TIME, Oct. 16) he went on to two other topics that have become part of the standard program in investigating banking houses: Tax Evasion, James V. Forrestal. Dillon, Read & Co.'s vice president and a financial comet of the 1920's, admitted that in selling for $892,936 stock which...
