Show TOM FOOLERY. . . Sighted stork. Thank same. (See Page 7.), TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY: WANTED Some attention by young man of two years who was baby of the family until recent arrival of a sister. Sorely misses the attention atten-tion formerly lavished upon him. Wants new family on which to try old tricks. For just a little attention will bark like a dog, belch like a man, sing like a bird and read magazines upside down. Many other feats including ability to open and empty the highest drawer. Applicants will be interviewed at the gum machine at City Drug. See Beezie. There's a growing tendency on the part of political candidates to shed their full names for somehing a little more down to earth and, they hope, vote-catching. . Bracken Lee shows up more and more in the public print as plain old "Brack," and just to show you' that Washington's fancy ways haven't taken the country out of the boy, Congressman Walter K. Granger now comes packaged pack-aged and labeled in his political advertisements as "Walt". Thomas E. Dewey, the coldly efficient district attor-.ney attor-.ney of yesteryear, is now a friendly farmer from upstate New York who likes people to call him "Tom". Harry S. Truman, who would rather be folksy than president, does all right with the folksy name he was given to begin with. There's a trend for sure and there's no doubt that it lends the campaign a friendlier atmosphere than some campaigns cam-paigns in the past have shown. The first presidential campaign we remember in any detail, for instance, was the bitter one of 1932. It would have been so much cosier if the candidates had been re- ferred to as "Frankie Boy" and "Herb." |
