Counsel for Mr. Morgan. Slowly, John W. Davis of West Virginia and New York began to pull ahead of the other also-rans, until William Jennings Bryan, den mother of the Democrats, cast aside his palmetto fan and rose to denounce Davis as the advocate of Wall Street. Next day William Randolph Hearst's supreme pundit, Arthur Brisbane, reported it: "Instantly, Davis' vote dropped away to practically nothing, and there it will stay.

I haven't asked a sensible question in two years...
...auditioning singers, CBS's Robert Q. Lewis listens with one ear to a girl's voice, watches with both eyes to see what tricks she may have up her sleeve. He values Vocalist Jaye P. Morgan because she can "read a line," work on a trapeze and do acrobatics. He is pleased that Lois Hunt, once a junior soprano with the Met, "has come out of complete stuffiness to rise to any occasion." Carol Bushman, one of the four Chordettes, wins his praise for her "farm-type humor...
