ABOUT THE HIGGINBOTHAMS
FOR TEARS I have heard Floyd Higginbotham talk
about his folks, and although Jesse,- Floyd’#- little
brother is more the strong silent type, he is the
authority who corrects Floyd when authentic infor-
mation must be given out I- '
It was a happy night I spent the other, night with
Floyd and Jesse and their parents.*
I have rarely, seen two boys and their parents ap-
pear to get so much real fun out of visiting each
other, and I’m sure the city slicker members of the
Higginbotham family, Louis and Edgar, in Houston,’
•re just as close. ■■■■•■
We have a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Higginbotham,
Sr., in the paper today, but it doesn't do theni jus-
tice. No picture of Josh Higginbotham would do
him justice, for instance,'unless it showed him with
a' pipe in his mouth.

WASHINGTON—There are still at least two proph-
ets with some honor in this country, Gallup and
Roper to the contrary notwithstanding.
One is Ralph Nafziger, professor in the journal-
ism department of the University, of Minnesota at
Minneapolis; the other, ouis Bean of the Agricul-
ture departm«it in the nation’s capital;
. „ On Friday, preceding the Tuesday of the big wind, wedding anniversary..
Bean spoke before an audience in Washington at the

time upward trend.
A special assistant to the Agriculture secretary
and an economist, Bean reminded his audience that tioiw with people ! have come to the ccneiusibn

•However, we don't obtain forecasts from opin.on
polls," he had observed earlier to this’reporter. “The
polls usually ask how the voter would cast his bal-
lot t. day, not how he is going to vote in Novcni-
ber.”
The Press club audience was polite, but skeptical
—except for Miss Truman who hastened off, early
i i i r ; father’s campaign train.
In his book. How to Predict Elections, published
shortly before the polling booths opened, Bean cb-

“W’e are led to conclude," Bean wrote prior to the
voting, “that the Democratic party at the beginning
of 19t8, as far as popular opinion was concerned, had
recovered from its setback in 1946 and had an ex-
cellent chance—without taking into account the pos-
sible effect of the third-party movement—to win the
election, and ... . to start on the first phase of a
new and predominantly Democratic tide of the
J950f
Bean also made these pre-election observations:
That Massachusetts, normally 7 per cent less Dem-
ocratic than the country as a whole, had nonethe-
less gone Democratic in the past five presidential
racer It went Democratic for the sixth time to the
shoe ed surprise of Gallup, Roper, and company.
That Minnesota and Wisconsin, which surprising-,
ly w. n't Democratic on Nov. 2, are twice as flexible
as the nation, signifying political independence and
freectm from party tradition.
That his figures showed New York probably would
go republican this time, as it did, despite Demo-
tories there in ’44 and ’40.
' Bean’s system is based on statistical studies of
Ittst election results, and their application to new
pclIUcal situations which inevitably arise in every .
election. Most Important, probably, he doesn’t take
it too aeriousjy. >
