Had a frantic wire from Wash ington yesterday—saying that the local Congressman was making a surprise visit and a short speech. I ould I get the word around fast? No time for a special edition of the CZarioit, so I turned to the fastest “news service” in town ... Windy Taylor. He spent an hour mobilizing his Lodge and Court House cronies-all pretty fair talkers-and the rest is history. Biggest turnout ever. As a newspaperman, I hate to admit it —but facts are facts. The \\ indys of this world aren’t only quicker news spreaders than our paper . . . they'vo even got better circulation. From where I sit, some of un would rather talk than eat. while others are close-mouthed . .. just as some of us like coffee and others prefer a glass of beer. There's a lot to be said for both attitudes. But if you go in for gab — don't talk against someone luat because you don’t happen to agree with him on some question of per sonal choice.
