Who Are In 1t

Who Are In 1t
The nomination of j. Franklin Fort
for Governor by the Republicans has
Civ en- occasion for a parody on the song
" Hold the Fort" which was very pop
ular thirty years ago.
The popular revival song got it's in
s~piration from an instance in the war
between the States, when a small garri-
son was attacked by the Confederate
force. Word was sent to the garrison
to ''Hold the Fort" as re-inforcements
were coming.
The battle for Governor which will
be decided November 9Th will not not
only affect the office Of Governor, but
the numerous officials who he will alb
point during his term of three years.

Democratic can didate will mean the
reformation of the judiciary and State
institutions where maladministration
has been exposed by the Assembly in
vestigation. Many of those who wish
