Contemptnble
A Graham supporter in the
first primary and a father of five
small children was told a few
days ago to join up with the
Smith forces or lose his job. No,
it wasn't in Hitler's Germany or
Stalin's Moscow. Sadly, it must
be admitted that it happened
right here in Marlin County.
Many down-right common
and contemptible things have
been said and done, but the op
position reached a new low
when that stunt was pulled.
Such practices are damnable
and the Graham forces are cer
tain to do something about it on
Saturday, June 24, when they
visit the polls and send Willis
Smith sailing back into the vel
vet laps of his twenty-six cor
porations.

the wallet had been found and
was being returned to him. The
billfold apparently had dropped
into a crate and was shipped
overseas to Foster Wheeler, Limi
