...brown horse and a red-haired woman caused commotion in the streets of Philadelphia last week. Beauteous, impulsive Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of Pennsylvania's Governor, gayly trotted through City Hall Plaza traffic in a jingling silvery sleigh on rollers. Mounted on the shafts were signs urging PINCHOT FOR SENATOR. Overhead fluttered a banner with this strange device: VOTERS-DON'T LET REED TAKE YOU FOR ANOTHER SLEIGH RIDE-VOTE FOR PINCHOT. "It's awfully silly," the Governor's ebullient lady confided, "but it makes a good picture." Political tricks and stratagems far craftier than this...
...struggles with Pennsylvania's relief funds, the last of which was exhausted last week, deterred 69-year-old Governor Pinchot from the sort of slashing personal campaign he generally makes. That did not impede energetic Mrs. Pinchot's activities in his behalf, as last week's sleigh ride testified.

...wish, has been cramming spasmodically in Mellon National since 1931. He last made news when he and Lucius Beebe, famed japestering newsman, won a prize magnum of champagne offered by Manhattan's swank Central Park Casino for the first guests of the season to arrive by horse & sleigh. Dick Mellon, however, took to power from the start. He entered Mellon National immediately after he graduated from Princeton in 1922, was made an assistant cashier two years later, vice president five years later. Able, affable, handsome, his favorite sport is foxhunting. In 1932 he entered two horses in the Grand...
