Every week or so, the Frankfort
paper finds new entry in the
Congressional race in the Eighth
district, but so far none has put up
his money in announcements III the
papers of the district. Take it from
us, the gratuitous boosting alleged
candidates are getting from papers
out of the district, is about all that
it will amount to. Congressman
Harvey Helm is sure winner, and
we would not be bit surprised TO
see him go to the post in the pm
mary in August as the only entry.
1t seems to be the policy OF the OPP
position of anybody to beat Helm,
and we read of schemes and COM
bines by other prospective candi-
dates. in their efforts to somehow
encompass his defeat. Strikes US
that il would be a good plan Tor
these valiant democrats to get to-
gether in a plan to help roll up
a democratic majority in the dis
trict next fall, instead of plotting
TO defeat one of the men who has
admittedly done so much to make
democratic victory in the nation al
most certain.
