"Fair Trade" Bill
Hurting Sandy Graham

Continued From Page One)
Hillsboro man aspires to political
office in the State.
And most observers are agreed
that Sandy can be counted on to
enter the 1914 governors sweep
stakes, barring, of course, uneXpect-
ed and unusual developments be-
tween now and then.
Almost any lobbying would be a
handicap, but this bill is rapidly be-
coming the target for intense and bit
ter opposition, and its smooth course
through the Senate is being regard
ed as something not quite natural.
Likewise, the recent flareup be-
tween Speaker Ward and Victor
Bryant, with the latter accusing the
Craven man of attempting to pay po-
litical debts to Graham by jockeying
the bill into a committee likely to
give it the most sympathetic con-
sideration, isn't going to help Sandy
one bit.
He may not have had thing to
do with it, but he's going to get more
than a modicum of the blame for
Wards political maneuvers, If that
Is what they were in fact.
