THE POLITICAL MILL
The GubernotorioI Picture
By GOULD LINCOLN

Florida next year. one Of TIE
four States Of the South which
Gen. Eisenhower carried in
1852. Last year, the Republic
cans sprung q real surprise in
Florida, too. They elected a
Representative from the LIST
congressional district - the
first Florida has had since
1875. He is william C. Cramer
of st. Petersburg. There is a
chance. the Republicans will
pick up still another district
In Florida next year. But
electing a Governor is another
thing. There are eight con-
gressional districts in the
State.
Chances Improve
OF the other 10 States that
now have Democrats Cover
nors, where gubernatorial cleo
lions are coming up, the COP.
probably will have its better
chances Of victory In Maine,
Minnesota, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Colorado. Colorado.
which has become the Essen
hover summer White House,
was carried last year by big
Ed" Johnson, former Senator
and Governor, who has been
n'unbeatable Democrat IN the
State. Only If his health
causes Gov. johnson not TO
stand for reelection next year
will the Republicans have q
chance there.
Two other States in which
the Republicans may run
strongly in gubernatorial con-
tests, provided their very popu-
lar Democratic Governors do
not seek reelection, are Ohio
and Michigan. In Ohio, Gov.
Frank j. Lausche is serving
a fifth term as Governor. No
one knows for sure whether
he will seek a sixth term or
try for the Senate seat now
held by Republican George
Bender. G. Mennen williams
is in his fourth term as Gov
ernor of Michigan. The one
chance he will not run for q
fifth next year seems to be
q possibility he might be nomi-
mated for Vice President by the
Democrats.
The Democrats, Of course.
have chances to take some Of
the Is governorships now held
by the Republicans which, too,
will be on the political auction
block. For example, they may
win in Delaware, where they
elected a Senator last year. II
the farm prices are low or
lower, it might affect the vot-
ing adversely to Republican
gubernatorial candidates in
such States as Illinois, Indiana.
Utah, Wisconsin, and even
Kansas. It is not certain.
however, that farmers in these
Midwest States will desert the
Republican Eisenhower, IL he
runs. The fact he has kept
the country at peace-after
ending the war in Korea-has
great appeal there.

When one first sees Stubby,
the cat, it is his half a tail
one remembers.
Only half q tail, not a Manx
cat in any sense. but a cat
which evidently had its tail
chopped in two as a kitten.
The tail is not rounded, but
comes in two tufted points,
as one sometimes sees men
wearing divided boards.
Such men always look as
If they might be foreign spies
of some sort, when all the time
they are merely males who
didn't seem to know what
to do with their chins.
Stubby, the cat, wears his
tail gayly. because he knows
no difference.
Z. After one has known Stub
for q time, the tail is for
gotten.
It is his persistence that
then looms.
Persistence is a good quality,
but in a cat it has its draw
backs.
He is, for one thing, always
underfoot. Being underfoot,
of course, is a typical cat trick.
Most of them manage to
trip their friends, not inten-
tionally, but they do 1t just
the same.
Many unwary old ladies are
thrown, often to their death
from a broken hip. by admir-
ing cat friends, who want to
do nothing but be friendly.
y X X +
Elderly people should not
have cats around the house.
They do best without them,
but the truth is that such
people often find great solace
in a nice cat.
The poor victims of the
witchcraft mania were nothing
but old ladies who liked cats.
They were not witches, in
any real sense, as everyone
knows today. but as few per-
sons seemed to know in the
unhealthy old days.
In the old days, when old
women were accused of being
evil spirits, consorting with the
devil, the black cat, especially,
got its bad reputation.
Actually. a black cat is just
a cat, a creature which has
stepped out Of its animal rank
to be a friend of man.
The dog is not mans only
friend.
The cat is a friend, too, and
for his friendship he has, at
times, paid dearly.
Mostly, however, it gets him
food and care, things he needs
in this strange world through
which he goes with the rest
of us.
Stubby Is persistent, and
has half a tail, but that is
not all.
He is a real tiger cat, not
only with the stripes, but
with the orange and black
celebration Of the big tigers.
All striped cats are always
called tigercats, but few of
them really live up to the
name. Most Of them are black
and gray, or brown and gray,
or at times yellow and gray.
Few Of them are orange and.
gray.

The Republicans have taken
q terrific lacing In guberna-
torial elections since those
bright (for the q. o. P.) days
when Gen. Eisenhower headed
the party ticket In 1852. Eight
States-two Of them, New
York and Pennsylvania, the
Republican strongholds in re-
cent years-were wrested from
Republican control, beginning
with New Jersey in 1853. The
count Of Governors stands to-
day ~ for the Democrats and
81 for the Republicans. Be-
fore the debacle, it was 20 for
the Republicans and 10 for the
Democrats.
Republican leaders are
hopeful they can restore a
more even balance between
the two parties in the matter
of State Governors In the
elections which take place
next year - particularly If
President Eisenhower heads
the G. o. p. ticket. as they
fully expect him to do. It's
going to take some outstand-
ing campaigning to accom-
plish. AS it happens, Is Re-
publican Governors and is
Democratic Governors win be
seeking re-election-or other
party nominees chosen In their
places to run for Governor.
G. o. r. Disadvantage
The unfortunate part of the
picture for the Republicans.
however, is the fact that four
of the States of the eight
which have recently been lost
to the Democrats do not elect
Governors next year. The Re-
publicans, therefore, have no
chance to regain them. These
States are Connecticut, New
Jersey. New York and Penn
sylyania-all good fighting
territory for the G. o. p.
These States give their Gov
errors four-year terms.
Here's the slate of guberna-
torial elections in 1856: First.

He introduced a resolution
