<> Wonder if the mind of a grave-
featured thoreh young Federal
Judge ever wanders, as he sits on
the bench and some lengthy ’deposi-
tion in some dull lawsuit is being
read to a jury, back to the days
when «. slim, boyish chan name/'
Jimmy Allred parried around a auit-
-ewae-fitH -oV eans of groceries which
he exhibited to make a point in hi«
speeches while running for Attorney
General?
Does he ever think about Allred’s
first race for Governor in that hard-
fought runoff in 1934?—when he lik-
ened his opponent to Christopher
Columbus:
"Who whert he started out. didn’t
know where I\e was going! when he
got there, didn’t know where he was;
and "when he gol baok. couldn’t tell
folks where in thunder he’d been.”
Or that "nifty”;

night criticizing me for using the
radio ano he was talking over the
; radio himself at the time.”

Or that little story that Allred
used to tell about the tombstone
with the inscription:
“Good ft-iend, pause, as you pass by;
As you now arv, so once was 1;

" Prepare for death and rJillow me.”

Until I know which way you went.’’

And that fiery climax of Allred’s
speech, with the pleading tone:
“They're ganging up on me; my
I back's to the wall; won’t you help
me?"
i Then, with a sweeping gesture to
' the table with ita campaign folder*,
there came with evangelistic fervor:
“Come down here and get some of
