...than the day before. Crowds, undeterred, gathered before the Kellogg house. Shortly before noon, the President came out, motored across to Minneapolis for luncheon, so that the twin cities might not fall out in jealousy. For luncheon at the Nicollet Hotel, food was served, not speeches. Then the party drove to the State Fair Grounds?neutral territory between the rivalrous twins. No President had been in the vicinity since President Wilson called in 1919. In 1921, Vice President Coolidge spoke at that very spot and met a chilly reception. In spite of wind and rain, a crowd...

Tunney stood bulging his muscles, striving vainly to appear bestial...
Another home town, last week, prepared to welcome a returning singer. The local press published a diatribe, mentioning in angry terms certain incidents in her past. Exasperated crowds lined the streets through which she drove. When she sang at the opera house, a police cordon was considered necessary to keep her from violence. She was Madame Maria Jeritza who, though born in Brünn, early showed that she had no Czech complex by wedding...
