The nomination of Vim. NJ Beck
ner, of Winchester, for place on
the Republican State ticket, brings
TO mind Characteristic dcscrip-
tion given OF him by Senator Joe
Blackburn a few years ago. AT
that time Beckner was aflliating
with the Democratic party, so the
description cannot be said to have
been prompted by political preju'
dice. Beckner is notoriously ugly
Blackburn said he chad seen about
forty pictures OF Judas Iscariot
and that no two of them looked
alike, but they all looked like Bill
Beckner."
