...brouhaha of publicity as did Mr. Golding in Philadelphia. He issued detailed announcements. He had his sleuths grouped and photographed at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. It was obvious that Mr. Golding wanted to give Philadelphia's 'leggers an even break. People said it was because Philadelphia is Republican and too many discoveries there might be embarrassing to Mr. Golding's superior, Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General. As everyone knows, Mrs. Willebrandt is a Hooverizer of almost reckless intensity...
Maine. Though its presidential vote has been chronically Republican since the Civil War, with the exception of the split-year 1912, there is a certain post-mortem parallelism between Maine's state-election votes in September and the nation's presidential votes two months later. There was, accordingly, nationwide Republican whoopee when William Tudor Gardiner, Republican, was elected Governor of Maine by an 82,000 majority over Edward C. Moran, Jr., Democrat.

Democrats nominated Lawyer A. Scott Bullitt of Seattle to run against Governor Hartley. Senator Dill...

If Arizona goes in November as in September, Senator Ashurst will be re-elected by three-to-one over Republican Nominee Ralph H. Cameron. Governor Hunt's opponent will be Judge John C. Phillips...
Nicholas Longworth, dapper Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, has as one of his official privileges the use of a fine automobile furnished by the U. S. government. Last week, he quipped: "I want a Republican Congress because I don't want Jack Garner riding about in my automobile." Jack Garner is John Nance Garner, hale, hard-working and humorous Representative from Texas, who would undoubtedly be the Democrats' choice forSpeaker. He is a good friend of Speaker Longworth, as is every one else of any importance in the House...
