It used to be that when a man
wanted to run for an office, he
“threw his hat into the ring’’—
oow he passes the hat.

' The Comanche County political
pot-continues to simmer.* Besides
those making definite announce-

Some people have an idea that
a newspaper man solicits candl-
"'dales to run for'office in the same
way that he solicits an advertise-
ment from a merchant.- Such Is
not the case. A newspaper man
rarely advfees A Win
Xpi to run for office.
Most of the time the newspaper
cunty officials -because of - thfl
pleasant business association ‘they
have with them, but before the
campaign i* oyer they Ieartt tp
