...American Federation of Labor has resolved upon a non-partisan position during the campaign, but when President William Green of the A. F. of L. addressed the New York convention last week, he said: "I am convinced that Governor Smith's speech of acceptance and his reference to the abuse of injunctions has made a deep impression, in every industrial state. . . . I am satisfied that, when they go to the polls, they will stand by those who stood by them in their hours of need...
...World contain the writings of able Charles Michelson, an oldtimer, whom the World sends around the country to see the Nominees, visit the doubtful states and to write, whenever he can, stories that will boost the Brown Derby. His Republican equivalent is found in Carter Field, thoroughly partisan chief of the Herald Tribune's Washington bureau. The Field despatches deal with anything and everything political, except foreign policy, which until lately has usually been handled by Henry Cabot Lodge (grandson), another Near-Pundit, stalking about on errands of his own. Most Field and Lodge despatches are plastered thoroughly with...
...purely defensive. The Kellogg treaty in no way invades a nation's right to defend itself or to prepare to defend itself as much as it may please. "Big Navy" men were relieved.

Your bitterly partisan and malicious misrepresentation of the Prayer Book Question in England & of the Anglo-Catholic party, have quite decided me in having nothing more to do with a paper that is so one-sided. Neither Anglicans or Romans worship 'elements,' but our Lord Jesus Christ therein enshrined. Your reference to certain clubs was unworthy and dastardly. Opposition does not worry...
Hasty editors might, from the above record, assign to Nominee Curtis the credit for eliminating "baloney pictures" from the 1928 campaign. But no editor would do so who is a journalist before he is a partisan. Because, as a matter of fact- It seems indisputable that the underlying cause for this year's anti-baloney epidemic among politicians lies not in the politicians' honest hearts, but in the alert U. S. press, whose newsgatherers, observers, commentators and editors have spent many years trying to divest U. S. politics and politicos of the more obvious political shams and absurdities...
