...Red and Pink fadeouts there were comforting extenuations. Nominee Browder had campaigned far more strenuously against Alf Landon than for himself, persuading many a Red that he might best serve his cause by a vote for Roosevelt. Nominee Thomas, who got a large non-Socialist protest vote in 1932, could reasonably conclude that the electorate this year loved him not less, but Franklin Roosevelt more. In addition, his Party's right wing split off, merged last summer with New York State's American Labor Party. Neither Communists nor Socialists were displeased at losing strength to this new faction...
...shortly to do 93 m.p.h., Lord Cottenham continued, "I shrugged myself more comfortably into position behind the wheel and cast about little searching glances under the scuttle, as one does when familiarizing oneself with the instrument layout and control locations of a new model. . . . I saw the red telltale bulb glow on the ignition switchboard. . . . The big engine had hesitated- 'hunted' we call it-for a second or two, whether because my cuff had caught the throttle lever and sharply shut it or whether, as Colonel Harker afterwards said, because of a fleeting, almost intangible carburation mood...
...sale, Knoedler's last week borrowed from such assorted owners as J.P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, Yale University and the Museum of the City of New York another group of 29 historical portraits of first importance.

Interesting because the subject...
...came the Digest with a cheerful, sporting handling of its own and other poll scores. Good-humored Editor Wilfred J. Funk, who himself had wagered no money on the election, featured on his magazine's first page a small facsimile Digest cover encircling the legend, "IS OUR FACE RED!" Beneath this he printed a cartoon by Edmund Duffy of the Baltimore Sun in which a battered GOPolitician clutches a horsewhip and growls into a telephone: "Literary Digest? Lemme talk to the editor!" Surrounding text went...
Fund-raising as a business dates from the great money drives of War days. George Olver Tamblyn (Colgate 1903) was membership extension director of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross when he met John Crosby Brown (Yale 1915), scion of the banking Brown brothers, son of Union Theological Seminary's onetime Professor William Adams Brown who married Anne Spencer Morrow to Charles Augustus Lindbergh. After conducting money drives for the Red Cross in 1920, they formed Tamblyn & Brown, a firm which prosperously endured until two years ago when the partners quarreled. Mr. Brown now runs Tamblyn & Brown...
