Striking aid came to Senator Harrison from Senator Bilbo's one-time law partner, Stuart C. ("Sweep Clean") Broom, with a speech which brought down the house wherever he delivered it. Boomed Lawyer Broom: ''I am a professor in the Bilbo school of politics; I can read his shorthand notes; I know his tactics. I am a Bilbo man and have always supported him, and when he is a candidate for re-election in 1940 and Conner is his opponent-and he will be as sure as there is a hound dog in Georgia- I will...
Last week Leo Belden was a Wall Street stock broker and Elisha Walker was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb, while "A. P." Giannini was once again busy spreading his banking empire over the western U. S., which is legally kinder to branch banking than any other section. In 1931 he accepted the loss of his Manhattan bank, concentrated on bringing little Western banks into the fold of San Francisco's great Bank of America National Trust & Savings Association (with 447 California branches) and Portland's First National Bank (with 28 Oregon branches).

...John Barrymore, whom they proposed to question in connection with "statements in Miss Astor's diary," that life-worn old actor immediately reported sick in a Culver City sanitarium.

Mex., with his wife and one of his four daughters, Merchant Clayton returned to his desk in Houston to be on hand, like the world's lesser cotton men, for the Government's estimate. Lamar Fleming Jr., his young partner, who is rated the firm's No. 2 man, saw the figures soon after he debarked from the Enropa in Manhattan. Presumably the partners of Anderson, Clayton & Co. were pleased because a big crop means more cotton to handle. In the seven seasons through 1935 the firm sold more...
...Jennings Bryan, who made him retype a speech because the margins were too narrow. At 15 his astonishing stenographic skill landed him a job in a St. Louis cotton firm. Soon he went to Manhattan as secretary to a cotton man named Lamar Fleming, father of his brilliant young partner. Will Clayton was a model youth. He never smoked, never drank, never swore-and does not to this day. He worked nights, sent money to his mother, put up with a miserable French boarding house in Manhattan to learn another language. Shortly before the company he worked for failed...
