we've evidently enslaved in o reading

missies We’ve been accused by him or
her of "suffering from a execution
complex,” "being conceited," ‘suffering
from a "bo> s-are-superior-to ’iris" com-
plex. and so on ad infinitu-1.
WE SINCERELY apprecia e theae lit-
.... Jus. tie gems of brilliance. We wt h, though,
that our admirer (whose sty e portrays
a substantial amount of err itional fe-
•* mininitv) would sign them s > we could

criticiam.
Mr Hxadxraon
After reading four 'Brown Mu)*' xditorisl.
I have come to the conclusion that you arc
guilty of the same practice that so many of
us w*rv in our college days We want to write
something cute In fact, I am still guilty of
that practice after several years in the pro-
fese’onal game
The urg* to reply to your li'Damel srticl.v
however, wa* simply too strong to ignore, and
here are my sentiments
I reaent being classified as a Brown Muter
sinee I have never had a hunk of tobacco of
that daacription in my mouth I believe the
statement is alao an unfavorable reflection
on many profaaaiona! men who strongly sup
ported O'Daniel in hit gubernatorial cam
I know several of them personally
In fact, one of them removed my appendix
and it wa* comforting to know that we agreed
Politically while he held the knife
Also, if you will check the figures, I believe
>ou will find that almost SOO.OOO of your
Brown Mulers' voted for ‘Pappy’ in his sec-
•nd campaign, a pretty high percentage to be
classified a- mere run of the mill folk*.
And beside* that, 1 like the bill O’Daniel
fought t>, have passed the one that prevents
this state from deficit spending.
The reason for your editorial that I would
prefer to believe is that you ware juat filling
a hole in the editorial page something I was
,ften called upon to do at tha laat moment
during my tenure of duty on the Chat
Sinceraly, k
