Mr. Slcmp and Mr.. Hassinger are
lawyers, or tried to be. At ono time
Mr.. Slemp was Tate Irvne's law
.2artner, but arriving ut the wise con-
'!us'on that 1t is better to be first
lass politician than second class
awyer,. he threw up his job and came
o the bluegrass to learn politics un-
Ter Tazewcll tutors. Mr.. Hassinger
graduated in law, but discovering

md couldn't talk, he went into the
lumber business, where he seems Pre-.
