The piece notes Republican optimism from fights over the world court and work relief, Huey Long’s third party, and a parade of political propaganda reaching Washington, including an antisemitic device and debates on deportation and anti-lynching bills.

Clark Denies Profit Tied to MBA Merger in Hearing
Des Moines AP state Insurance Commissioner E W Clark reiterated before senate and house committees that he received no money beyond his salary for anything connected with the 1931 merger of the Modern Brotherhood of America and the Independent Order of Foresters. H M Havner urged new statutes to protect policyholders as he outlined alleged secret payments to MBA officials and directors.
