March 24th, 25th & 26th 3-d-ay r " Jimmyll Be Irish to the Bitter End By Tad Bartimus Associated Press Writer JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -Theres a lot of blarney in Missouri's most famous Irishman. Its true that Jimmy Kirkpatrick, officially known as The Honorable Secretary of State James C. Kirkpatrick, wears green every day of his life. And signs all his letters in green ink after theyve been typed with a green ribbon. And changed the cover of the states official manual from blue to green. And holds g forth in a green office overflowing with Gaelic slogans, stuffed leprechauns and pistachio-tinted photographs. But in spite of his passion for all things Irish, Jim Kirkpatrick cannot banish the genealogical truth: Hes descended from Scotsmen. carpet-to-ceilin- I've never been interested in genealogy," he says with a gruff hrumph. I feel Irish. It's fun to be Irish. Kirkpatrick is an Irish name, even though I admit its also a town in Scotland.

Twinkling Eyes When you look at those twinkling blue eyes, its hard not to believe hes related to those famous little people of the Emerald Isle. At 77, his cheeks are a seamless pink, his sideburns fluffy white, his girth ample. A perpetual smile lights his cheerful face. It doesn't matter where Jim Kirkpatricks forefathers hailed from, because on his own hes become the unofficial grandfather of politics in the Show Me Stale that claims him as a favorite son. A staunch Democrat, he has been secretary of state since 1965. In the 1980 general election he carried all but six of Missouri's 114 counties. He spent only $30,000 in the campaign that saw Missouri's two U.S. Senate candidates spend $3 million. He vows he's never wanted any other job in politics, and the endorsements said they in most newspapers couldnt imagine anybody else sitting in his green chair at the state Capitol.
