New York Democratic Gov. Al Smith will fight to defeat New York City Democratic Mayor John Hylan by speechifying in favor of fellow Tammanyist Jimmy Walker, although he will do so as a private citizen rather than as governor, whatever that means.
Turkish President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk divorces his wife of 2½ years, Latife Hanoum. No legal procedure, just a decree, which he issues as a president rather than as a private citizen. The Western-educated (Paris & London) Latife is just too feminist for him. Or he was too much of a dick for her; neither of them ever spoke publicly about the divorce.
