...Germans who voted for Candidate Winter (even though he was in jail on a minor sentence last week), would almost certainly have voted for Old Paul if they had not voted for Prisoner Winter. Their votes, a mere handful in so large an election, would nevertheless have sufficed to re-elect the President. Since nobody was elected, Germans will vote again Sunday, April...
...Wilhelm Frick, chairman of the National Socialist Party in the Reichstag. Without waiting for his leader to make an announcement, Nazi Frick blurted out to a mass meeting at Kempten, Bavaria, the flat declaration that Bruning must quit, that the Nazis would take no part in the movement to re-elect Old Paul by popular vote.

Mr. Hughes, of course, resigned from the World Court bench to become Chief Justice of the U. S. Next week the League is expected to re-elect Judge Kellogg to the World Court with solemn ceremony, start him out on a regular nine-year term of his own dating from...
