'. ' SLAVE GIRL",
Washington The political sages
are saying Senator Frank Graham,
former president of the University of
North Carolina, is too honest to be
elected, because he won't compromise
on principles for the sake of politics.
It takes horse-trading to survive in
the cutthroat game of politics, they
add.
This may be true, but North Caro
lina voters will have to take Senator
Graham as he is. He will follow his
conscience and stay true to his ideals
no matter how many votes it may
cost. This is something Graham's
Colleagues have learned about him.
There is no question that the little,
lovable Senator from North Carolina
is a Fair Dealer. His heart is as
tig as his size is small, and his votes
are always on the side of the com
mon people. No political temptation
could change that outlook on lite.
This column has talked to benators
cf all political complexions about
Graham. Even jthe most rabid Re
publicans agree he is probably too
honest for his own goodi. One who
opposed Graham's Seating now admits

Incidents from Graham's past are

time in 1910 when he was coaching
th Raleie-h Hicth School baseball
em Raleiirh was playing Wilson
for the State championship. Wilson
had the best pitcher, but his right
fnnt. was lame. Thus, when the score
.... tifA 2-2 in the fifth injiinir, the
Pnleirli hatters betran buntinsr and
taking advantage of the pitcher's in
iurpA fnnt.
After' the inninir. however, Coach
Graham called-his team around liinu
and said .simply: "Boys if we nave
to bunt to a crippled pitcher in order
to win the championship,. I don't, want
to win it."
There was no more bunting and
Raleigh lost the game.
"Graham's political enemies are try
ing to smear him with the red brush
nt hifl. liberai Dhilosophy. But
the truth in Graham is too deep roatec
in worm iaroiaiia uauiwy
er was a captain in the Confederate
army to be successfully smeared.
This came up during the last war
when Graham, as a member of the .La
bor. Mediation Board, was trying to
deadlock between the Bendix
A5nnn fiomoration and labor. With
-lital ' ni-aftnrtion at a standstill, Gra
