...swarmed into Washington's central post office to buy likenesses of the first U. S. President. By nightfall over 40,000 philatelists from far and near had secured more than a million stamps commemorating the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. First in line were Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio and Representative Sol Bloom of New York, members of the Washington Bicentennial Commission, which plans elaborate celebrations throughout 1932. After they were served, 25 clerks were kept busy distributing the new series of twelve Washington stamps, cancelling them so that collectors might have the valuable date of issue...

Last week, along with Speechmaker John Huston Finley of the New York Times, Director Charles Riborg Mann of the American Council of Education and President Albert Norman Ward of Western Maryland College, Chairman...
...days later another G. O. P. rallying cry went up. Fussy little Chairman Simeon Davison Fess of the Republican National Committee officially keynoted the party's autumn campaigns. His objects were three: to insure Republican success in scattered municipal, State and Congressional elections (notably those in Ohio and Wisconsin); to replenish the party war chest; to renominate and reelect President Hoover. The Fess keynote address appeared to be in the key of C: no sharps, no flats, just straight eulogy of Republicanism and straight condemnation of its opponents...
