When Ralph Anson, a highly
respected citizen, was ap-
pointed Senator by the Gov
ernor because of a death and
ran for a full term, Tucker
saw his chance. The young
king-maker plucked the nom

lost in the first primary, but,
because an aging rabble-
rouser was a third candidate
and gathered a small vote,
there was no clear majority
for Anson, and there was a

went into action. Since Anson
was on the progressive side of
public questions, it was easy

The Kingpin

Politics, alike in so many
ways wherever you find it. still

the South. This is because so
many people cling to an in
sularity, a provincialism that
still remembers the almost
century-old Civil War. clutches
unity that long has been a
myth. fears and suspects other
sections of the country.
Tom Wicker, a North Caro-
linian, in this striking first
novel has summed up with
disturbing accuracy a sena-
torial campaign in an un-
named Southern State. The
typical vulgarity of politicians
off-platform talk and the sex
episodes are incidental and
should not distract from the
main theme, which is the ap-
parent triumph Of prejudice
and ignorance. I say appar-
ent because there is a deeper
implication beneath the sur
face when the ballots are
counted-the emergence of a
defeated but incorruptible
man, who has preferred to
lose rather than compromise
with honesty and decency.
Behind the Throne
Here the central figure is

the South, a potential dictator
of his constituency. 1t is the

Mr.. Glemser has written a
comic novel about a suburban
apartment development on
Long Island. Like all come
dies that are close to everyday

side, which is exposed now and

John Gilhooley is a CONNER

impels him to paint what he
pleases on his owr time. When
he and his wife and their
small daughter and cat move
to the Wavetree Apartments
at Wild Neck, the situation
seems ideal. 1t will be grand

paint. But, unlike their old
place under the Third avenue

under foot, and most of them
are acute bores. John finds
the life dull, he doesn't paint
and he longs for the clatter
and discomfort of Manhattan.

holds that the "virility COM

Crane and. to a considerable
extent, in Norris was an in
dex of decadence as much as

these writer's were in revolt
against Victorian hypocrisy

their work with that of the
novelists of the 192Os, points
out that "the submerged
