...polls opened. Maine walked in and cast its ballots. The polls closed and the count began. A few hours afterwards the Democrats shook their heads and admitted defeat. For Governor, William R. Pattangall, Democrat, went down by what the final count will probably show to be 40,000 or 50,000 votes before Ralph O. Brewster, Republican. Senator Bert M. Fernald, Republican, was reelected. The four Republican Congressmen were also reelected...

He declares that in their headlines and news they are "scrupulously fair" and "rigidly nonpartisan" and "on the other hand, certain hidebound Republican organs give to many of their dispatches a heavy Coolidge flavor and lose no chance to place the Davis candidacy in a bad light." This is hyperbole. These "hidebound Republican organs" refer chiefly to Frank Munsey's Sun, Ogden Reid's Pier Herald-Tribune, and Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis' Post. In the degree of news partisanship shown there is probably little...
