Senator Dave James (D-Liberty)
in his legislative column in the Lib
erty County Times recently scored
hit when he told about the troubles
of Democratic members of the House
and Senate and asked OH FATEi
WHAT IS THY POLITICS! The cas-
ualty list was unseemingly great
Senator Nesvig missed a lot of the ses-
sion because of illness, Senator VIII
son missed 4 days because of a heart
condition, Senator McCabe had a
heart attack and passed away, Sena-
tor MCGOWAN skidded and was
rammed by taxi cab, Senator Le-
Roy Anderson wrenched his back and
Senator H. H. Anderson fell on the
ice and broke his collar bone. Then
in the House Rep. Cerovsli was in
the hospital for almost two weeks |
when the doctors couldn't stop a
nose bleed, Rep. Clark lost one of
his hired hands who was found frozen
to death after becoming lost in
snow storm. One opinion said the
Republicans were engaging in the
ancient mystic art of making effigies
of Democrats and sticking pins in
them to cast an evil spell.
The most talked about mystery is
why did Arch Allen go home". ,
Allen was representing Park county
as Republican and much talk CEN I
tiers around the belief he didn't care
for the conformity enforced on him I
by his party. There was supposed to S
have been some piece of legislation
he wanted to introduce and his party {
wouldn't let him do it. Then the less /!
mysterious and far less exciting rea- I
son given is his family needed him.
For whatever reason Arch Allen
folded his tent and left several weeks t
ago, and only Allen knows the real S
probably.
