...deciding factor of the Coolidge candidacy seems to hinge on the outcome of this fall's Congressional elections. In the Senate, the Democrats now have 39 members; are in danger of losing none; have good chances of gaining from four to ten seats. However, they do not forget the late Senator Medill McCormick's poignant remark after the 1924 Republican Convention: "All we Republicans have got is the certainty that the Democrats will ball things up for themselves, somehow...
Colonel Nelson was an able and conscientious editor. His paper was a paper of "ideals"-none more so. His habit of printing a great deal of miscellaneous but accurate information about science, invention, exploration, literature, made the Star a sort of university extension for boys and girls on Kansas and Missouri farms.

Such melodrama in Pennsylvania is unheard of, for since 1875 not one Democratic Senator has been returned from that state, and ordinarily none but a Republican has a chance even in his own opinion. But Mr. Norris sensibly pointed out that the cheapest and least embarrassing way for the old party to save itself the awkward task of removing Mr. Vare (who won the $3,000,000 primary campaign) is not to elect him next November. Mr. Norris' plan...
