...ousted the 31st President from the White House rejected Mr. Hoover's political advice with even greater emphasis and whittled the Republican opposition in the Senate down to a historic low. Democratic Boss James Aloysius Farley had asked for a two-thirds Democratic majority in the Senate to support President Roosevelt. With a roar of approval the country uprose to give him what he wanted-and more. So complete was the rout of Senate Republicans that Boss Farley could well remark on Election Night: "Famous Republican figures have been toppled into oblivion. In fact, we must wonder who they...
...brazenly comparing the $678,000,000 poured into his State as relief and loans by the Roosevelt Administration to the $12,000,000 by the Hoover Administration, Democrat Guffey went about Pennsylvania lauding the President as "God's inspired servant."

Roosevelt in 1934. But this lisping ex-Easterner had plenty of other radical support. Into New Mexico to campaign for him went Montana's Wheeler, Colorado's Cortigan, Wisconsin's La Follette, Nebraska's Norris. The A. F. of L. endorsed and Albert Bacon Fall called him '"unbeatable." Yet last week Senator Cutting was beaten by Democrat Dennis Chavez. Strangely enough, Senator-elect Chavez could...
...been suggested by one writer in a scientific journal that the control of all practical exploitation of discovery should be vested in one authoritative body for the nation. The suggestion merits serious consideration. "Income," he says, "could be used to provide a royalty for the research funds to support investigation in whatever laboratories needed assistance." The National Research Council might be the holder of such patents...
