MY FAVORITE STORIE,S

By Jach, Dionne

That Was His Low Limit

In Texas, when politics wax hot, remarkable things arc frequently said. A candidate for office on the Democratic ticket obligates himself to support the nominee of thc part/, regardless of who he may be. fn a certain election a defeated candidate immediately took the stump in op position to the duly nominated Democrat, trying to bcat him in the general election. This was entirely unethical, and in confict with his Democratic obligation.

The disgruntled and defeated candidate was delivering a red hot address one day, when his successful competitor appeared in the crowd and asked if he might ask a qucs. tion. The answer was affirmative. Said the Democratic nominee:

Hank Swafford Breaks A Hundred But Goes Long Way To Do It

Henry Swafford, a partner in the business of E. J. Stanton & Son, of Los Angeles, recently made a business trip to El Paso, Texas, and returning brought with him a golfing score which he has been proudly exhibiting to his friends. The card shows that he made a score of 92 on the El Paso golf course, and, since he was never known to break a hundred in Los Angeles, the gang naturally looked the card over with some interest. Hank explains that the high altitude of El Paso, which is nearly a mile above sea level, was the thing that did it, grving him a lot more distance on his shots than he is accustomed to at home. He has had a lot of dirty questions asked him about all the holes being down hill, whether they use wash buckets for putting cups, etc., but, like the wise man. he refers them all to the score card.
