And here are a few observations
about each of the candidates, opsef-
vations which it is unlikely that any
one will seriously challenge.
Maxwell: Is probably best known
all over the state, because OF MS cam
didacy in 1882 and his more than
twenty }aars service in the otate
government. He has an organization
in every county, is the only candidate
who has selected his State manager
and seems to be off TO good start IN
solicitation of votes and support. In
view of his long connection win the
State government and his unilagglns
support of the administrations tax
policies before many legislatures ne
is the one man the administration
cannot fight.
Broughton: For many years lead
er in lay Baptist affairs, he has be-
come widely known. He will get lot

His eyes had fallen upon the

"Flatters me terribly" Romany
tried not to sound too pleased.
Bax blinked his eyes.

Romany assured him it had cost

Joe Telling Of the Interstate

was nothing said about it costing
me any money. He just said they
thought I had good chance Of
winning, and that even if I didn't,
the publicity would help my radio

Bax knew Romany was telling
the truth. But it was puzzling to
him that an absolute unknown, and
an actress not signed with Inter.
state, should receive any such IA
vors. It disturbed him a little, al.
though. he couldn't have told why.
Later, on the beach IL. the twi.

until it grew too dark to see. When
they went back to the apartment,
Cholly was sitting at the piano
playing without a light.
She looked up and smiled, then
went on. Romany motioned Bax to
the big chair, and sat on the divan
to listen. FOR almost an hour Cholly
poured out her heart in melody.
The moonlight came and streamed
into the window, spilling silver
light over the small girl at the big
piano.
Romany could feel the tears In

cused me of taking a man away
from anyone. Men run the othel
way when they see me turn the

"You-haven't!" Romany coulc
not believe her.
You'd be surprised"
Everyone loves you. You couldn'

Romany. II wasn't always fat and

Jane grew suddenly serious.

"I'm glad you don't think l de-

Romany sighed.
"Of course I don't" Jane said
quickly. mo one will tell me any

Romany smiled wistfully.

Jane shook her head.
You don't look as though you'd
go around worrying about what
people said about you. Romany.
The first time l saw you walk
through the corridor where l was
sitting thought you owned the
building. If you keep your chin up
and go on looking that way, you'll
get along much better. They'll stop
talking about you and start in on

Romany felt much better after
her lecture from Jane. Over demi-
tasse she smiled:
Your pep talk did me a lot ::
good, Mama"
IF necessary I'll turn you over
my knee" threatened Jane.
Later, in the corridor, Romany
met BaX. She saw him first, walk

set look on his face that he had
had no luck. She touched his arm
before he looked up.

At luncheon in the Interstate
restaurant the next day. Romany
and Jane were the center Of atten-
ton. In the lobby a life-size pic
ture Of ROmany, in color, had sud-
denly appeared with the announce
ment that she was the latest entry
in the race for the title Of Miss
Television.
OF course, buzzed the groups of
girls and men standing about the
studios and corridors, there wasn't
q chance that she would win. Put
when you were an heiress you could
at least pay for the publicity and
get on the front page.
The story of the Noyes- Halle
feud was the principle topic of con-
versation in radio circles. Tanner
had just announced in his column:
"A real life feud comes to the air
waves in an amusing casting situ-
alton at Interstate. Myra Noyes,
