Grand indeed was the larceny if Mr. Talmadge was right. By a final (but unofficial) vote count, unPurged Senator George had received about 40% of the total popular vote, to 32% for Mr. Talmadge, 24% for Mr. Camp. Out of the 410 vote units among Georgia's 159 counties, he had won 246 (40 more than needed) to 148 for Mr. Talmadge, 16 for Mr. Camp. Even "President Roosevelt's county" (Meriwether, in which lies Warm Springs) chose George, then Talmadge, ahead of Camp. In upon the victor poured telegrams from Conservative Democrats...

In a good year, their total income is upwards of $100,000. They insist they are not the biggest moneymakers in their field, though they have no idea...
Throughout the crisis Czechoslovakia has behaved like civilized people, but no self-respecting person can blame them for mobilizing now in the face of total destruction. No man wants to be a vassal, and on real nation likes to lose its independence. If the Czechs fight, as it appears they will do, Russia's machine must throw its weight behind them. Then Hitler, faced with the anger of Czechs, Russians, French, and English, must either go to war or back down and submit to some reasonable, human settlement of this problem...
