...Prohibition Party, that 63-year-old political microcosm which got 5,608 votes in 1872, 271,058 in 1892, 208,923 in 1912, 57,551 in 1924, 20,106 in 1928. Like the Republicans and Democrats in the Chicago Stadium, the Dry delegates had a keynote speech, organ music, long distance telephone calls to Washington, State placards, demonstrations, prayers, candidates for the Presidency, roll calls. Unlike the two major parties they adopted an uncompromisingly Dry platform and nominated for the White House a man who promptly promised to withdraw if a better candidate could be found...
...France, despite editorial screams of rage from news-organs of the Right* and Right Centre, the Socialist Party led by Leon Blum strongly favored the Hoover proposals and so did La Republique, news-organ of Premier Herriot's own Radical Socialist Party. Should they stand together the Radical Socialists and Socialists would have to pick up only an additional handful of votes to force French acceptance of the proposals, but M.

When the Ministers of Interior trooped home without committing themselves, Fascist fury began to show itself openly for the first time against Chancellor von Papen and his "Cabinet of Monocles," hitherto tolerated as better than the BrÜning Cabinet (TIME, June 13).

His duty it was to stand back on the platform and hold up a series of numbered placards, to signal for the band, the lights, the balloons, the organ, etc., etc. as they had been carefully scheduled to sustain a half-hour "demonstration." When he held up the placard numbered "1" and blew a whistle, the band, poised at an exit with Governor Rolph at its head, marched on the floor. Organized pandemonium broke loose...
...Sidewalks of New York" was played by mistake on the monster organ in Chicago Stadium last week during the Republican National Convention. It produced only snickers & snorts among the G. 0. Partisans. Next week, on purpose, the same piece will be played on the same organ in the same hall. It will produce happy grins and roaring applause among the embattled delegates to a far livelier, less orderly National Convention of Democrats. Theme-song of their 1928 campaign, the tune will be an overtone of Democratic politics so long as Alfred Emanuel Smith is alive, which he very much...
