Thursday, August 15, 1935 IWE U;CA : (GAB By ALAN BROWNING, Jr. PROPHECY FULFILLED! There's no doubt about it, prophecy is being filfulled—er— fulfilled! The very words spoken so forcefully some weeks ago by Elkin's own defender of "that sacred document," the Consti tution, "Our Bob" Lovelace, are-coming to pass as he predicted! For instance, take last week's congressional election up in Rhode Island. There, sad to relate (to Democrats), the New Deal suffered a backset when a Republican candidate got the most votes. And that's just the beginning! From now on the Democrats haven't a chance! The tide that was set in motion in Rhode Island will, accord ing to Elkin's prophet, roll across the nation from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from Maine to California in 1936. Roosevelt will be swamped in a sea of alphabet"* soup and North Carolina will bear the emblem of the elephant. And— most important of all —the Constitu tion will be safe. "Save the Constitution!" That's the battle cry for 1936 regardless of whether the Constitution needs sav ing or not. It may be that the Constitution doesn't even want to be saved, who knows? And it's entire ly probable that many who will arise to view with alarm any attacks, imaginary or otherwise, upon the constitution, have never read that important document. But that's all right. The Consti tution doesn't have to be read to be saved. If some of the politicians— and some of the would-be politicians —took the time to read it the elec tion might be over before they got through. So, that being the case, the Constitution will have to be saved without being read. Apparently no one is very much interested in what it says, anyway, so long as it furnishes a subject few campaign speeches for Republican candidates. But regardless of whether it is read or not, it is going to be saved in 1936. And 20th century Demo crats are going to be made to abide by 18th century rules. More than that, the Republicans are not going to let this country be afflicted with any "isms," either, because accord ing to Mr. Lovelace (who is very much worried over this "ism" busi ness,) "isms" just ain't healthy. What with the AAA and the de funct NRA and the PERA and the NHA and FHA and all the other let- MMOal JJR FINE REPAIRING ® Two Expert S Repairmen In Charge C. W. STEELE Jeweler E. Mala St, Elkin, N.

"Isms" were originated in Europe and ought to be kept there. No one over here is going to point with pride at "isms." But back to the prophecy. We think it only right that we acknow ledge Mr. Lovelace's ability as a prophet in a public manner, and we await with interest further develop ments. Personally, we have never been in the prophet business, al though we understand a prophet's stock in trade need consist only of a newspaper reporter willing to rush into print with most anything he hears, and we have no intention of going into the prophet business now. Still, we like to see other prophets work and if "their efforts meet with success, then we want to be the first to shout our acclaim. But now, going from prophets to congressional candidates, we were discussing this and that down in Q. Snow's store the other morning with Mr. S. O. Maguire, who has announced his opposition to Mr. Hancock, when we learned a very important fact. Mr. Maguire, in discussing issues for the coming cam paign, stated .definitely that the weather will not be one, although he predicted a hot campaign. Personally, we feel that Mr. Ma guire, if nominated by his party, will do considerable viewing with alarm. In fact, we believe thai the majority of Republican candidates will view with alarm more than they point with pride because frankly we can see nothing for them to point at. Still, you never can tell. And now, as we bring to a close this masterful summary of the pres ent political situation, we want to end up with one tiny bit of good news for the Democrats. We have it on good authority that Oswald H. Gumbersnitz, Republican candidate for dog catcher in Surry county, was bitten twice by Democrat dogs last week. * * • THIS AND THAT It's to be regretted that Coach Hood will not return to Elkin this fall. He was popular with all who knew him, and—more important— was well liked by the students. However, a better job at Sanford should aid in dulling the edge of re gret that everyone here feels at his loss. A Jonesville young man, who re cently graduated from collgee with honors, and who is busy now on a venture jvhich we believe will be crowned with success, stated the oth er day that if the venture fell through he guessed he could get a job at a CCC camp. "And, having a college education, they ought to give me a better job than the aver age," he added. "Sure," he was told, "they'll prob ably let you cut down the biggest tree."' FIND UTILITIES HEAD Washington, Aug. 12.—House lob by investigators tonight finally caught up with Howard C. Hopson, elusive mastermind of the Associated Gas and Electric system. Chairman O'Connor, Democrat, New York, of the rules committee, conducting the inquiry, announced that a subpoena had been served and the long-9ought witness would go be fore the committee tomorrow morn ing for questioning. Still maintain ing some of the mystery surround ing the Hopson search, however, his whereabouts tonight were closely guarded.
