EMERSON HOUCH

TO have seen the vanishing life of the Great
Plains-roamed by the white pioneer. the red
nomad. and the buffalo-through the eye Of Emerson
Hough is to have seen great DIANA magnifcently
played, said an eminent critic recently. In fact,
few if any writer's have told the story Of the great
West in such vivid powerful words as Emerson
Hough. Why? Because he not only imagines but
knows that field thoroughly. One reason why he
knows it bookwise is because he was born and
reared in its very midst. Nothing that he says is
second hand.

Norris or Cash Cade would seem 10

seems that they are working in close

Norris and Cade came near a serious
rupture last year during the campaign
when Cade accused Norris of using the
strength of the organization, as well
IS the cash of the campaign, to boost
the candidacy of Byrd McGnire in the
First district, and as Cade believed,
neglecting the interests of Republican
candidates in other districts.
The Republicans figure that lots of
patronage well distributed, high taxes
levied by the Democrats, unavailable
because of the initial expense of self
government, will be two vital issues
that will get them enough votes to
carry the state. That's why RepubIi
