...weak-chinned Monarch had done no such thing; and within a few hours the Associated Press put on the wire a despatch headed Spanish Rumors Moderate.

Outstanding in the cartoon history of the 1928 campaign have been: For the Republicans, Cartoonist Thomas Edwards Powers of the Hearst newspapers; for the Democrats, Cartoonist Rollin Kirby of the New York World.

What more appropriate, then, than that the mighty C of the Overture should commence the first program of the combined New York Philharmonic-Symphony Society? By accident or design, Conductor Mengelberg drew a pretty symbol from symphony music, that veritable library of symbols. Some 24 musicians new to the Philharmonic have been placed under Mengelberg's guiding hand as a result of the merger last spring of the New York Philharmonic and the New York Symphony...
