Professional Texan, old-style, is Owen P. White, storyteller. Professional Texan, new style, is Gene Howe, editor of the Amarillo Globe-News, son of old-time Ed Howe, "Sage of Potato Hill" (Atchison, Kan.). Story-teller White lately helped Collier's magazine into a million-dollar libel suit by flaying, old-style, the political monkey-business of Rentfro Banton Creager and other Texas Republicans in Hidalgo County (TIME, Sept. 16). Editor Howe has obtained publicity for his little cow-&-gas town of Amarillo by flaying, new style, such national figures as Mary Garden and Charles Augustus Lindbergh (TIME, April...
...Moseley Brown (Washington & Lee), Hoovercrat. Republican claim- stakes sunk in Virginia by Herbert Hoover last year were jerked up and cast aside as the State was returned to normal Democracy by a thumping 70,000-vote margin. When Republicans and anti-Smith Democrats coalesced on Professor Brown and "a new era of humanity" was predicted (TIME, July 8), President Hoover wished the new group well, hoped it would hold his 1928 gains in the South. Underlying campaign issue: "Raskobism." The election meant the political unfrocking of Bishop James Cannon Jr., who was absent in Brazil when election day came. Governor...
...New York City. Tammany's Mayor James John Walker beat Republican Congressman Fiorello Henry La Guardia for the No. 1 municipal office in the U. S. by an eight-to-three margin. The only surprise in the election was a large "protest" vote given Socialist Norman Thomas (174,931 out of 1,314,820 votes cast). Said Mayor Walker: "One great issue was settled-a man can wear his own clothes. . . . My ambition is to make everybody in the city smile. . . . You ain't seen nothing yet." Mourned Candidate La Guardia: "What a shellacking they gave me! . . . People...
Last week in Manhattan occurred an event to which Republicans like Senator Robinson would, if they could, have liked to point as showing the Democratic tie-up with the stockmarket. James J. Riordan, president of the New York's County Trust Co., close personal friend of Alfred Emanuel Smith, committed suicide with a revolver. For a whole day the news was suppressed lest a run on the County Trust develop. Ill health and mental derangement were given as the official reasons but stockmarket losses were suspected, admitted. Mr. Raskob was named acting chairman of the bank, which auditors quickly...
...based on the Bergsonian-Einsteinian notion of Time, which hints that past, present and future are illusory, that the impression of fleeting moments, hours and years is not to be trusted. Suggested by Henry James's Sense of the Past, written by John L. Balderston, London correspondent of the New York World, it comes, like so many plays this season, from London. The story is of Peter Standish, young U. S. citizen living in his ancestral London townhouse, who likes the 20th Century so well that he suddenly finds himself back in it in the person of his great-great...
