TOO LATE TO

BY RUSSELL KAY

! during the two-day session was
nothing but pure, unadulterated
| POLITICS. On one or two occa-
sions when someone would tim
idly breach the subject of Law
Enforcement" he would promptly
be drowned out by some aspiring
candidate.
. And the PEOPLE" in whose
name all this frantic folderol is
perpetrated, calmly went about
their daily tasks throughout the
commonwealth, totally unaware
of the great effort being made to
advance their welfare.
! AS far as the governors race
+ is concerned the consensus of
opinion here is the same as it was
at the Young Democrats conven-
ton at Pensacola: Whitehair and
Holland, both running strong and
practically neck and neck, with
Patty, Warren and Fraser several
lengths behind the leaders.
During the past ten days I've
had an opportunity to hear talks
by Holland, Patty, Barbee, Walk
er, Warren and Clancy, and all
of them, either openly or through
insinuation that leaves no doubt
IN the minds of their listeners,
are concentrating their fire on
Francis Whitehair, who is pic
tured as everything from a cross
eyed octupus to six-legged
porch climber. AS painted by
some of his opponents, he would
make Peck's Bad Boy look like
Little Lord Fauntleroy.
The Situation brings to mind a
negro story my good friend
Claude Lee used to tell about the
colored boy who returned from
France with flock of medals
and a lot of scars. Telling his
friends Of his experience, he said:
How come l get me all desc
here hero medals is like dis:
When de zero hour come, I'm up
an over de top tearin' across no.
body'S land a fiXin' to git me a
/ German. I only goes about ten
feet, and ping, a bullet come kerr
smack an hit me in de right
arm.
Boy, 1 mean, that dun made
me mad, cause you see dat was
de arm 1 used to carry my
weepon, but l don't stop-no
suh-I jes' keep right on a-goin'
But 1 don't get very far before
another bullet come wham, an
when I reach up where my ear

Den l sure huff is mad, an
makes up my mind den and dere
dat I'm a gonna git me a whole
mess of Germans, and I keeps
right on a-goin' But befo' long,
zowie, another bullet hits me in
de lef leg. and 1 don't even stop
den. No sub, I keeps right on
after dem Germans till along
come another bullet an hit me in
the other leg.
We'll, boy, dat was enough. I
known somebody has made a
helluva mistake, so l shouts Hey

And the moral, if any, / sup

ammunition shootin' at a fellow

Well, folks, it's a good thing
am not burdened with a guilty
conscience for if 1 were certain

three-alarm sweat the other night

General on one side, a probation
officer behind me, a state liquor
inspector across from me, and the
chief of police at a nearby table,
superintendent of the State Pris-
on Farm on the other side of me
and a flock of high sheriffs fore
and aft!
But it was a swell party. While
there are only 81 counties in the
state, which automatically limits
the number of sheriffs to that
many, there were over 800 folks
attending the convention-for
this, my friends, is what we COM
monty refer to as a political
year" and while some folks may
run from sheriffs", office-seek-
ers seldom do. And they were
out in force to mill about the
hotel Hobbies, slap backs, shake
hands and make as good an i'm
preston as possible.
Then, too, there were those who
are known as henchmen, publ
city men, leg men, shoppers. and
a number of honest, hard work
ing and exceedingly bored news
/ paper reporters and camera men.
! Prize story of the convention
was about tourist who attempt

Mr.. and Mrs. Marks, who were

came the day when they follow

long quest was ended, for they
discovered that fishing, swim

choose from. They found a city
of old world charm, quiet, serene,
and utterly free of the endless
