HANGOVERS
By LITTLE HEiSkELL


ed his candidacy for Congress
recently, it brought joyful shouts
to the G. o. p. Camp in Wash
inqton County. The Elephant
Lads were jubiIant and many of
them predicted Immediately that
he would win in a walk and that
once AGAIN the Sixth District
would be represented by a man
of their political faith. But all
is not we'll in the aforesaid G.
0. P. Camp as of this date. The
shouts are growing fainter and
doubh has suppIanted predicted
certainty.
Reason for all this doubt is
the result of some sober think
ina on the part of the G. o. P.
nrintrusters. Charles stewart
4ho, Just two years ago, tossed
his skuIl-cap into the ring
against Bill Byron, breezed thru
the primary winner and then
made right smart try against
the Washington County man has
bobbed up again for another try.
And he has come into the fight
with a chip on his shoulder-he
is convinced that he is the
strongest man in these here
parts of the Sixth District and
points to his race of two briet
years ago as proof.
Instead of keeping the field
clear for him, Stewart feels that
the G. o. P. attempted to toss
him on the shelf in favor OF
nationally known name for
getting entirely the fact that
qualifications should be a prIN
merry consideration. And from
what hear, Stewart is in the
fiqht to stay and ready to make
the political fight Of his life.
Stewart hackers are openly
predicting that their man viii
win handIy and that johnson
will be slaughtered outside OF
Montgomery county. Johnson
followers say its in the bag but
they won't quote figures.
The G. o. p. will have their
troubles following the primary.
Four candidates are in the field
for Bill Byron's job-Long ana
Johnson from Montgomery coun-
tv and Stewart and kimball out
of Allegany. SO far the DONKEY
boys are sitting pretty with no
candidate opposing rhelr entry.
Primaries, with both Democrats
and Republicans, are frequently
poison.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

SAl<a1 LIN CNO1t1IL4
BRENT AND Romany were hav-
ing their orange juice when Marvin
Yanning, head of the artists bureau
at Interstate, stopped at their ia
BILE.
He smiled down at Romany.
Don't tell me you were on the
air this morning"
Il was" Romany nodded happily.
I'm afraid I've lost my amateur
standing"
"Swell!" Yanning ran his hand
over his bald head in nervous
gesture. you're certainly coming
along. When are you going to drop
in to see me? I'd like to talk bust
ness"
"Tll run in perhaps this after
noon." Romany was f1attered that
he wanted to talk with her.
Gould you make it two o'clock ?"
Yanning asked. THAT would suit
me better than any other hour"
I'll be there" Romany promised.
Wheh Yanning walked away,
Brent shook his head.
Papa doesn't approve" he said
froWning. II don't like to see you
getting mixed up with Yanning and
the artists bureau"
"Oh, did I make a mistake ?"
Romany looked up from her coffee.
II think So" Brent nodded.
"Wait awhile before you sign up
with anybody. My advice is to call
Yanning back and tell him you
can't make the appointment today"
"All right" Romany said, trust
ing his judgment blindly. You
know best, of course"
"Yanning's lightweight" Brent
expressed his opinion vehemently.
Lord knows why they sent him
here from New York to run the
artists bureau. Must have a drag,
I guess. You'll tie yourself up and
have ten per cent going out of your
salary, and if you get real break,
you're tied up for five years or so.
Suppose you get movie offer?"
Romany nodded, understanding
Brent went on:
"Yanning plays favorites, too.
If he gets a grudge he'll hold you
back and push his friends. And he
thinks he's quite ladies' man."
"You like him, don't you?" Rom
any smiled.
"Oh, nobody likes him." Brent
shrugged. There's nothing person.
al in my feeling. I've always free
lanced, and that's what I'd advise
you to do. Interstate isn't the only
broadcasting system in town.
You'll want to go around to the
others, too"
"Im the luckiest girl in the
world Romany sighed then, ito
have met you at the station, Brent.
1t probably would have taken me
months to get where I am now on
my own. You've been so thought
full"
II guess you know having you
for a protege is about the incest
thing that's ever happened to me-"
Brent said seriously. IF 1 can
really help you get somewhere in
radio, Romany, I'll be just as happy
as you about it."
They ate for a time in silence,
then Brent brought up the subject
that was on both their minds.
"I'm terribly sorry about what
Myra said to you this morning"
He looked down at his plate unhap-
PLY. II don't know what to say to
you"
"You must forget it," Romany
said swiftly. That's just what T
intend to do"
II guess you know" Brent |
looked up then, this finishes our
engagement as far as I'm con-
cerned."
"Oh, I'm sorry" Romany's eyes
clouded. II feel as though I'm to
blame"
"You MUSTN'T feel that way"
Brent touched her hand fleetingly.
