Smith said it looked as though
Senator Hialewood was going be-
yond the grave and trying to
snatch from the withered hands of

Politics occupies center-stage
this wiek as candidates go down
to the wire neck-and-neck in a
last-minute flurry of vote-getting
effort. Seems to me that the race
brings out the best in office-seek-

ticularly in local rro-cs, I some-
times wish it were possible to vote
for everybody. But somebody's go-

thusiasm he’s acquired as a .an-
