in our Morgan county's little town
OF Malta on the Muskingum river,
across from McConnelsville, he is
big and handsome, chesty and
hearty. He becomes governor
through a vaudevillian campaign of
songs, hillbilly band programs,
radio talks on religion, philosophy
and biscuit making. Then he got
aboard sound machine, and with
his pretty sixteen year old daugh-
ter and his two sons, he toured the
country promising $50 a month to
the old folks, factories for Texan
raw products, jobs for everybody,
and reduced taxes.
He's not politician, he says
He's flour salesman-at which
someone in the audience is sure to
yell: pass the biscuits, pappy!"

blocks from her new gubernatorial
home. Pat and Mike, his sons, are
students there. Tall and handsome,
one is a clever mandolin strummer,
the other nimble with the fiddle

platform advice to his audience
