i,n di?l it
He math' his chief campaign over
1S radio station at Milford and it
f*s t|n counties in that part of th?
gtato that voted for Brinkley.
It has tlu' politicians and the pap
fr, out that way worried. They can't
titbom it. K.ven William Alleu White,
ihf Km|?oii:i sage, has devoted col
umn* ol ?|?a?*e explaining the Brink
lev vote.
Said the Kansas City Star, in be
'iuiiiu? several columns of interest?
'm reading matter dealing with
Britiklry's vote: j
??How ilt.I Brinkley do it?
"The answer to the ama/ing out- j
pnuniii,' ui votes in behalt ot the
Hiliord ^oat gland quack, running as
the |K><?i?le'- candidate for Governor;
ol Kansa>, i> not to be found in one, \
but in many reasons.
??Two members of the Star's staff
have spent the last few days after
it? election in visiting various parts
ot the Mate tollowing up the wide
kiraili cut by the Brinkley tornado.
One visited the cities that Brinkley
carried ami the other went into the
apiniltiiial communities,
in tin* respect their analysis of
Ik# vote agree: The Brinkley radio
fUtooi was the greatest factor. Ia
to farm homes, at the crossroads
itores and other group gathering
pum, the smooth tongued Brinkley
ns heard often and persistently as
Ike campaign ran along. His voice,
timing u little touch of religion
tlong with its vote appeal, was heard
bv the women as they washed dishes
or churned milk.
''Across a wide belt in Central
Kansas this radio play upon the mass
tniotions was a potent vote getter.
It* influence extended from almost
to the Nebraska line oil the north j
d?*n to Wichita and Hutchinson on j
tli? south. It was not effective in the i
Htretne west nor in the eastern part
of the state.
"Normally Republican by 15,(WO

Woodring, Democrat, G,645." -?
Radio influence. A revival of ' the

v>eivs of other descriptions, attract

Only six more days of hard sick
ling, passing, punting, drop kicking
and cutting until the big story will
be unraveled to the fans of Sylva.
Coach Warren aud Roberts are
doing their very best in tuning their
boys for the big game.
Next Wednesday there will be a
great treat tor the people who; se<
ihe game, when McFee, the big hus
ky quarterback of the yellow and
! white hits the line of the orange 'and
black. He is good at kicking, pass
ing and line driving ana what a cool
head that boy has, and a real quar
ter back, J
S. C. X. won over the strong Frank
lin squad last Friday 6-0, which is
a bad break for the Sylva High lads,
fhey lost to Franklin 13-6 in the
^arlv part of the season.
Sylva High lost one of tlu-ir besl
men last week when Frank Rasmus
non, their star end got his shoulder
>roken in practce.
Some good work is expected from
Mack Higdon, the big red headed
quarterback of the S. H. S. eleven.
He has beeu leading his team for
two years; but he sure has some
thinking to do now.
This is the first time the two team*
have met in two years. The last game
was won by the yellow and white
20-0. ' ........

BIRTHDAY DINNER
FOR MR. riSHER
On Saturday, 22nd, the relatives
of Mr. T. J. Fisher will gather at his
home on Fisher creek for his annual
birthday. All the relatives are invit
ed.
Kansas medical board's revocation
of Brinklev's license. A protest
against hard times, regular ]>arty can
didates and 60 cent wheat, dramatiz
ed by Brinkley. These are Star's ex
planations of the upset in Kansas.
Says The Star;
In a few hours Sedwick couuty
knocked it? noted editor and statas
man from his Republican senatorial
throne and put in an unheralded law
yer whose campaign scarcely was
mentioned in the papers. With the
same effort it gave McGill's guberna
torial partner, Woodring, the lowest
total in the county, piling up instead
a maelstrom of ballots for the Mil
t'ord quack. ?
There's a morsel for the politicians.
They have been busier since the elec
tion than before, explaining, prog
nosticating. The week started out aa
a big joke, a great laughable Brink
ley street corner and office-desk
vaudeville show. So it looked to most
party leaden, who thought the popu
lar levity was talk but not votes. But
it wasn't a parlor joke, it was a prac
tical joke they were watching the first
part of the week.
It was a joke - screen, hiding
a storm that tipped the Jhpat and
sent a disturbing wave clear to the
White House. The joke was on the
politicians, not on Brinkley, and now
they are trying to give serious reas
ons why it came to be.
WTiat was stirring un<]?r the ?*r
facef The McGill upset is easier ex
plained. It was a protest against
hard times under a Republican gov
ernment. The outs booted the ins.
Thousands who voted for Brinkley for
personal reasons voted for McGill
because he was opposing the White
House spokesman. The McGill frame
house in Wichita is not nearly so im
pressive as the Allen mansion in Col
lege Hill. The McGill law office and
modest political record didn't rival
visits to the White House. The Allen
visit* to the White House. The AHe
plug hat and frock eoat. So the la
borers and farmers and small mer
chants and disgruntled Republicans
of all classes in Sedwick county
knocked that plug hat off the Allen

NEWS LETTER
The program which was given by
President Hunter, Miss lxma Hill
Braswell, Miss Elsie Autry, Miss
Harriet Pierce, Miss Margaret How
land and Miss Frances Ewing, was
in observance of National Education
Week.
The Debating Society of Western
Carolina Teachers College ,which is
composed of twenty-two students is
doing splendid work. Under the di
rection of Prot'. E. H. Stillwell the
society has debates each Friday even
ing-. This is preparatory to entering
Intercollegiate debating next spring.
Dr. Tshi Hscih, Chinese lecturer,
editor, and statesman, appeared at the
Western Carolina Teachers College
auditorium Friday evening, Novem
ber 14. Dr. Hsich gave an educational
talk on China, the content of which
tended to enlighten the people on af
fairs in China and the relation be*
tween the people of China and the
United States.
Recently an orchestra was oiganiz
cd at Western Carolina Teachers

Hilda Stnathers, pianist; Jeffrie Free
man, clairnet and trumpet; Minor

were planned by W. M. Hunt. 1Many
sidelights were thrown on the sub
ject of Education, each speaker giv
ing his or her personal views; henee,
when the week was completed the

what the word meana.
Cullowbee, N. C., November 17 ?
The Junior Older of United Ameri
can Mechanics of the First District
presented a Bible and Flag to West
ern Carolina Teachers College Son
day afternoon, November 16th. It is
thought to be the first Bible ever
presened to a college in North Car
olina by the Junior Order. However
many Dibies have been presented to
high schools. Mr. G. L. Houk of
Franklin delivered the address in
which he set forth the characteristics
of a good citizen, gave facts toncern
ing educational status, and gave cri
ticism, both constructive and de
structive, of the present educational
system. Mr. Houk says that the time
will come when the schools will torn
out farmers, mechanics, masons,
steneographers, instead of people with
a diploma. His theory of education
is that persons should be trained to
do that which they want to do?fol
low their bent. Mr. Houk thinks that
the characteristics of a good ctitzen
should be physical competency, vo
cational competency, and the desire
to increase the citizenship level.
Western Carolina Yodlers will play
the last game of the season oo the
home field Friday afternoon, Novem
ber 21, at 3:15 with Brevard Insti
tute.
The game last Saturday with Hay

team scored anything until after the

done with McClure and Ward doing
spectacular work in scoring a touch
down. The score was 13-0 in favor of
the Yodlers.
