...Dewey rigorously followed Rules 5, 6, 7 of How To Become President (TIME, Nov. 24, 1930), by cooperating fulsomely with the Press, by traveling about, by appearing hale and lusty on all occasions. For the camera he let his mother pin a flower in his buttonhole; he vigorously strode up & down Owosso's Main Street; he posed chummily with Farmer Earl Putnam, who once paid him $30 a month to run a cultivator, do chores; he ate Mrs. Putnam's noonday "dinner" of home-cured ham, eggs, new potatoes, corn from the patch, fresh cherry pie. He played...

Miss Morgan had some ministers (anonymous) on call, said she would pay them from $5 to $25 per ceremony. Thrice married, thrice divorced, Miss Morgan believes...
...station platforms, was dotted with shocks of new-cut wheat. Young green corn was two to three feet high, and high-legged hogs stood up to their chocolate-colored rumps in lush, weedy meadows. Wild hollyhocks and roses splashed the fence lines with color, but nowhere bloomed a fairer flower for Hoosier politicians to gaze upon than their radiantly handsome master, Paul Vories McNutt, returning home to do some hoeing in his own back row.
