POLITICAL NOTES: Self Yulegies

>Chairman John Hamilton of the Republican National Committee celebrated his party's resurgence on his Christmas card with a cartoon (see cut).

> Governor-elect W. Lee O'Daniel of Texas celebrated the season by writing a ten-stanza biographical epic which he mailed to friends. Excerpts:

'Way back in nineteen twenty-five In old Fort Worth, there did arrive A man and wife, one girl, two boys; To make a living and make a noise.

Born in Ohio—then moved to Kan., On to Missouri and Louisian'; Then headed West toward the setting sun In quest of happiness, friends—and fun.

From the washer-woman's hovel to the mansion of state,

Not a dream nor a fable, nor a trick turn of fate,

Plain God-fearing people—six million strong,

Just proving that RIGHT shall prevail against WRONG.
