Self-Annotated Leaders in 1932 Party Conventions
A caustic column recalling past party figures and tactics as it previews coming national conventions. It names Bishop Cannon, Charles Mitchell, Hearst, Jack Garner, and Senator Borah while critiquing platforms and the old guard, with satirical asides about Welkin, Townsend, and party maneuvers. The piece blends political history with pointed humor about conventions, credentials fights, and the theater of politics.
