...Action. Mr. Barkley, while traveling 1,500 miles a week and speaking five or six times a day, mostly keeps his coat on, preserves his dignity, discusses his record (99% perfect) as a Roosevelt supporter, reiterates Franklin Roosevelt's appeal for his return. His meetings open with "America." His introducers refer to him as "the next President of the United States." From the platform, Almighty God is frequently invoked in his behalf.

S., "Cissie" Patterson's sprightly Washington Times appeared on the streets with a four-column, front-page picture purporting to show the plane on the landing field in Minneapolis.
