Alice Robertson graciously accepts her defeat in her congressional re-election race, saying when the congressional session is over, she’ll only return to ungrateful Muskogee long enough to collect her clothes. “I owe Muskogee nothing.”

Headline of the Day -100:
Not sure what the back story is, but there must be one: When Mississippi Gov. Lee Russell goes to Tennessee for a college football game, Lt. Gov. Homer Casteel assumes power as acting governor and starts pardoning black prisoners. Thanks to some obstruction about pardon forms, he has to type them up himself and only gets two done before the governor rushes back. The State Prison Board seems to be refusing to honor the pardons. The state Supreme Court will uphold them.
I had thought the Met had rejected as pointless the idea of going on the radio, but here they are performing Aida on WEAF. AT&T’s engineers prepared the Kingsbridge Armory for the performance for a week, using canaries to test the amplifiers.
An anti-Klan newspaper in Chicago, Tolerance, has been printing the names of KKK members, resulting in boycotts, withdrawals from banks, shunning, and bans from juries.

British Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law hopes to return to election campaigning Monday. He has a sore throat. Not sure if he knows yet it’s throat cancer. Winston Churchill, recovering from appendicitis, finally returns to the campaign trail, where his wife has been covering for him. He has to be carried on a chair. He says the Coalition Government prevented war with Turkey.
Congresscritter-elect Winnifred Huck says there should be an amendment to the Constitution requiring a referendum of all the people before a war can be declared.
