The Election of Lawrence Handley

Richmond is to be congratulated upon having
elected Mr. Handley mayor. 1t would have
drawn just as hearty congratulations had Mr.
Bescher been the successful candidate. In other
words, both men are types of the highest citizen
ship possessed by the community, and the city S
interests would have been capaby administered
by either.
Mr. Handleys big majority will be a surprise
to many Republicans who are accustomed to re-
garding Richmond as safely Republican. The
Paladium's straw vote, however, was an un-
usually good barometer of the storm of votes
that only awaited election day to rain defeat on
the Republicans.
As to reasons for Mr.. Handley's unusually
large vote, there are several outstanding ones.
In the first place. he has been identified for years
with many civic movements and organizations,
and always as an enthusiastic booster and
capable organizer. Naturally such unselfish
activity has won for Mr. Handley a host of warm
personal friends, particularly important asset
in politics, as DR.. Zimmerman's many admins
trations testify.
Another reason is that he is a genius as an
organizer He showed the same remarkable Ca
pacity for effectively organizing and conducting
his political campaign that he has shown in the
past in other activities. He was greatly aided in
this respect by the undeniable weakness of the
Republican organization. In popular parlance
the Republican organization was shot to pieces
it was mob not an organization. From enthu-
siastic and effective workers to subtle propa-
ganda, the Handley Democratic organization had
it all over the Republican aggregation. And per-
sonal popularity, plus an effective organization
if given an issue, is very apt to bring home the
political bacon.

man administration, because he had been ap-
pointed and was serving city controller under
Mayor Zimmerman. The voters lost sight OF the
fact that he defeated the mayor Overwhelmingly
in the Republican primary three months ago.
Too few of them knew that he was appointed
controller four years ago at the lnslstence OF
Progressives who had returned to the Republl-
can party. Mr.. Bescher at that time, it will be
remembered, had just finished serving four
years as city clerk, having been elected on the
Progressive city ticket. lnasmuch as the con-
troller succeeds to the mayoralty in case va
cancy arises from any cause, Mr.. Beschers sup
port for the office by the Progressive wing is
testimony to the high esteem with which they
regarded him.
The Zimmerman incubus provided effective
propaganda material for the Democratic organ
ization, and it was used with telling results
throughout the city. 1t was winning issue that
the Republican organization did not know how to
combat 1t was met chiefly like an ostrich meets
danger.
Personal popularity, based on proved ability
super-efficient political organization and an un-
combatted issue-indcating weak organization
among his opponents-combined Tuesday te
elect Mr.. Handley.

No. s-sfissing Mark Found on Hand

A short line is drawn on the palm of
the left hand and a similar line on the
back, using the blackened end of a.
burned match.
The hand is closed and the right hand
wipes off the mark from the back.
Opening the hand, the missing mark is.
found, lying across the one originally
there.
The first mark was made at an angle
across one of the creases or lines of
the hand. Hence, in closing the fist
another mark is made automatically
crossing the line at the opposite angle.
The rubbing off of the other line is
just a bit of by-play to heighten the
effect.

His majority was sweled, according to prom
inent Republicans, by the knitting tactics of a
clique faction in the Republican organization.
If the members of the Republican party who
were loyal and did not knife their candidates be-
come resentful to the point of cleaning house
within the party, the public may yet be RECALLED
with some interesting inside party happenings.
Although this clique is sinister influence
in the community, its support of Mr.. Handley
doesn't signify for moment that he bought
its backing by any promises Lawrence Hand
ley is too clean and upright to be party to any
underhand deals The clique swelled his ma jor-
ity, but the decent citizens of the community
gave him enough votes to assure his election
without this unsolicited support
His success shows that he has won a place Of
high regard among the people of Richmond. His
adherence to principles has earned him a reward
from the law of compensation. That reward
comes to him in the form of larger opportunity
to serve his fellow citizens. That he will meas
ure up to the opportunity by inaugurating a new
era of cleaner, more businesslike and more prin-
cipled municipal government in Richmond, is not
only the wish, but also the confident belief, OF
everyone who knows Mr. Handley.

Musings for the Evening

The scientists, the scientists, they
say we shall not kiss.
They would deny the youthful wooers
their small cup of bliss.
All OSCILLATION is taboo because, alas,
alack,
There are ten million microbes in one
adolescent smack.
The scientists would pass a law to
bring this to an end,
Because the lovers kiss is but the
undertaker's friend.
The scientists, the scientists, they
teach Us how to live.
Longevity's a subject upon which ad'
vice they give,
Each one has his own system, and
it's seldom they agree.
But still they shoot their WOODY bunk
and jazz at you and me.
Obeying them, we're sure to live for
| ever and a day,
But even these wise scientists are
| known to pass away.
