For some time | have said that
Jack Henry had no business on the
Railroad and Public Service Com
mission. 1t was difficult to picture
him in that job, even before he was
elected, because of his temperament.
His health has been very bad, and
the pressure of being between the
devil and the deep sea has been hard
on Jack Henry, especially when pub
lie opinion has him so firmly estab-
lished in the lap of the devil.
So when I was told the other day
that it is rumored Henry to going
to resign from the RR and Public
Service Commission l felt no Jolt
or shock.
The story goes that Henry has
been in Washington, d. G. He is,
so they say, going to take job with
the U S. Government as a Federal
Parole Officer. 1t seems Mr.. H. just
returned from D. c., and that he is
waiting now the Senate confirmation.
The big question, however, is
when is Jack Henry going to an
nounce his resignation? The story
is that it won't be till after the gen
eral election.
If he were to resign between now
and the general, law provides that
the political parties would nominate
at a convention and the people would
have chance to elect. Or, someone
could run Independent if the parties
chose what appeared to be tweedle
dee and tweedle dunn.
If he waits to resign until after
The general election the Governor
would appoint, and the appointment
would serve two years until the next
general election.
If Henry definitely plans to leave
after the general, he could as we'll
'esign now so that someone could
'un for the office.
If he resigns after the general, s
he Governor is going to be in a spot. \
Certainly the Powers will benefit
Henry waits until after the general t
lection. The present low ebb of
heir popularity could not stand an {
lection of two RR & Public Service
at this time. The t
'emocratic ballot seems to be very
arefully stacked to try and beat h
ilgeram and re-elect Middleton, and
nat is the best they can hope to do. v
hey can't take a chance on "sec- t
nd BEST" because they are in a
ip and tuck race for RR&PS Com
issioner as it is, and if they can
eat Pilgeram it will be only by a c
tort margin. Il
So, | would guess the company A
light figure that in two years they IL
'uld pour enough oil and gobblede-
'ok on the troubled waters that they
Guild be in better position to take p
chance on electing two members f;
the board. T

tail wag such a good sized dawg!
On Wednesday night from 10 pm.
to II midnight the Secretary of
States office was open for last min
ute filings on the state and national
primary election ballot.
There were quite a number of
people out, tho not as many as usual
some said.
There were radio facilities for re-
cording any last minute excitement
and good many newspaper people
Horace Casey came in about 1920.
but he didn't file for State Treasurer
until the last Is minutes, he was
the last man to file.
Fred Heinecke came in during the
last 20 or 80 minutes and everyone
got on their metal figuring that if
Rankin was filed he would do it.
Close on the heels of Heinecke came
George Newcomer and mS<e tense
ness developed. Niewoehner made out
an application for the Senate race
and the last fifteen minutes had news
paper people with their pencils
poised. Newcomers we'll known an
tagonism for Rankin left the con-
clusion that he did not file because
Rankin did not. The question raised
was would Rankin have been filed if
had not come in?
A disappointed onlooker who was
hoping Rankin would file said if he
had even thought Heinecke was 90
ing to file Rankin he would have
locked Newcomer in Condon's of
flee.
Another last minute filing was for
Austin B. Middleton for RR & &Pub
lie Service Commissioner, made by
another person. This was not unex-
Dected after a fellow named John
Casey filed earlier When it was
earned Horace Casey wanted to file
'or State Treasurer the political
ieers looked for someone name of
Casey to be put in the RR&PS race
before Middleton filed.
