...handful of important Republicans went to Topeka last week to tell Charles Curtis that he had been renominated for the Vice-Presidency. They did not refer to the fact that about 35% of the delegates at the Chicago convention voted against him for a second term. Comfortably full of Senator Arthur Capper's luncheon, the Vice President received the news on the north steps of the State capitol. That location was chosen for economy's sake, as no expensive awning was needed to shade the notifiers. With the Vice President were his sister, Mrs. Dolly Gann; his daughter...
...burgher with thinning blond hair, blue eyes red-rimmed by fatigue, lounged in Montreal's Mount Royal Hotel one evening last week, toying dully with a glass of beer.

Gentlemen, 1 refer to CORN LIQUOR. And now, as a crowning infamy, our politicians want to repeal the 18th amendment and then place an enormous and confiscatory tax on liquor, thus bringing about our complete enslavement. "The time for action is here when our government attempts to step in and forbid the manufacture...
...Whiz Bang, magazine of washroom humor. Publisher Wilford H. ("Captain Billy") Fawcett used to refer often to "the henna-haired heckler," meaning his wife. Antoinette Fisher Fawcett. Of late such references have been absent. Publisher Fawcett last month got a divorce for infidelity "on occasions too numerous to separately cite." Last week the "heckler"?who prefers to call herself "the red headed dynamo" or "Animated Annette" found a new way to heckle her ex-spouse. With her first alimony checks she bought a neighboring bawdy joke-book called the Calgary Eye Opener, prepared to compete with Captain Billy...
