...defeat of Republican Senator David Aiken Reed caused particular rejoicing around the White House campfires. As a rich and reactionary Pittsburgher, as the Senate spokesman for Andrew W. Mellon, as the close ally of Pennsylvania's manufacturer and bankers, Senator Reed personified to Roosevelt Democrats all the things the New Deal was against. Capitalizing to the limit on Roosevelt prestige and 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...
...Come thunderstorm, war or election, I always go to bed at 9:30 sharp, " said Ohio's small solemn Senator Simeon Davison Fess. And as the onetime chairman of the Republican National Committee slept, he was counted out of the Senate seat he has held since 1925 and Democrat Alvin Victor ("Vic") Donahey was counted in.

Wisconsin. When Franklin Roosevelt, homing from Hawaii, paused at Green Bay to pat his Wisconsin friends upon the back, he singled out two: Progressive Senator Bob La Follette, and Democratic Governor Albert G. Schmedeman. No help to the Governor's campaign was the accident which resulted in the amputation of his leg (TIME, Oct. 15). Last week he emerged from the hospital, reentered the campaign with hope: "After all a political race isn't one of those collegiate track events." Nor was it, for Franklin Roosevelt, showing little college spirit, cheered on Progressive Bob La Follette who dragged his brother...
