...Budget Law, requiring local governments to publish their budgets in advance, hold public hearings; 3) the Cash Basis Law which limits every locality to pay-as-you-go spending. The last is a Landon measure. The first two were initiated by Democratic Governor Woodring. Governor Landon has stuck to the law's letter. But the enormous myth which GOPartisans have made of his budget-balancing feat may be finally debunked by reflection on the probable state of Kansas' finances if the Federal budget had been balanced since 1933, thus depriving dust, drought and Depression-stricken Kansas...

It threw such an unchivalrous and vulgar element into the race that the Chevrolet driver immediately became so vexed that, together with a few bitter remarks, he stuck his arm out the window and rudely motioned for the Ford to pass.

Those few Senators who stuck it out paid little attention. In cloakrooms they had previously settled the matter. To aid their popular colleague, Mississippi's senior Senator Pat Harrison, who was backing the nomination, to show "The Man" Bilbo that neophyte Senators should not make nuisances of themselves on the floor, they swamped (59-to-4) his motion to recommit the nomination to committee, confirmed Judge Holmes...
