Withdrawal of Lieutenant Governor
Huffman from .the Republican gov

nlitted him to make an active cam

It is not likely that Huffman will
make a public statement as to the
course he desires his friends to pur-
sue. number of them are expected
to go to Morgan, while W. P. Lam
bertson will compete for the advan-
tage. Reports which have come out
of the Third district in the last few
weeks indicated Huffman's friends
were not a bit pleased by invasions
of the district by Morgan and <his
managers, who sought to take over
Huffman supporters before he with
drew.
Lieutenant Governor Huffman was
one of the most popular men in pub
lie service in the state. He made a
strong record in sixteen years as state
senator from Cherokee county In
1918 he was elected lieutenant gov
ernor and was reelected in 1920.
When national guard troops wer4
called into federal service in 1917.
Huffman was made adjutant- general
He served in this capacity until Janu-
airy, 1919. During the Spanish-Amer-
lean war he was an officer in the

Always, tho, there is a fly in the
ointment. Someone always comes
along to take the joy out of living.
1t seems that Miss Emma Wilson.
county superintendent. didn't approve
of the dance. Maybe-the records
don't show-Miss Wilson hadn't been
invited to the dance. Maybe-which
ia also very reasonable-she had en-
listed in Miss Lorraine Wooster's
campaign for ironclad blue laws for
mistresses of the schoolroom. ANY
way, she reported the affair to Mss
Wooster.
Recently Mrs. Whites certificate
expired. It wasn't renewed. Inquiry
is said to have shown that the dance
was the cause of it all.
Mrs. White has written to Governor
Allen about the matter. He has
passed the trouble along to the state
board of administration. Malcolm
Gray, secretary of the board, is hold

board members return to town to take

Might Take It Up With Peck.
Only recently Superintendent Peck

Finney-was notified that be was
banned because he belonged to a club
where members played bridge. 1t
was also shown that Pecked smoked
cigars. But Peck employed an attor-
ney who is active in politics as well as
legal affairs and the matter seems to
have been forgotten.
Maybe Mrs. White should talk with
Superintendent Peck about her trou-
