when the average Southern boy enters

and, as young man, as a country clerk
and school-teacher. Haskelrs school
days were limited TO a few weeks a year
during his bOyhoOd. which was spent as
a farm drudge for a man who was ex-
Ceedingly disagreeable. TO say the least

one of the college men who left the South

When young Haskell made UP his mind

Probably at no other time in the last
decade or two has the South had so many
governors at one and the same time in
which the country at large has shown so
much interest There are. for example.
Conner and Smith. the saloon and railroad
busters of Alabama and Georgia, re-
spectively; Glenn and Swanson. the rail-
rOad-rate busters of North Carolina
and Virginia; Wilson, the new Repub-
ncan governor Of Kentucky; Broward. Of
Florida, who first gained the publie's eye
as Cuban hlibuster and part owner of
the notorious Three Friends. and Camp
bell, OF Texas, who has been busily en-
gagged in throwing corporations bodily out
of the Lone Star State. In the list. also,
should be put Haskell. the first duly
elected executive of Oklahoma, much more
a Southern State in makeup than a
Northern one; Dawson, Of West Virginia,
which lies below the Mason and Dixon
line; Patterson, of Tennessee, who was
unknown TO the voters of his district
when he ran for Congress, just seven
years ago. and. of course. Joseph w.
Folk, a Tennesseean by birth, who is the
big man in Missouri. Dawson was born
in Maryland. Smith in North Carolina.
Haskell in Ohio; all the other executives
are products of the respective States over
which they have been elevated by the
voters.
1t is rather interesting TO note that all
the eleven were born either in small towns
or on farms. Broward. Campbell Corner,
