MOTHER OF GOVERNOR ELECT SAYS HE IS GOOD EVEN TO AN "OLD DARKY'
While the Republicans are trying to come to an agreeable conclusion on just what was the one biggest contributing cause of the record Democratic majority of close to one hundred thousand over Judge King Swope and the Republican ticket Tuesday November 5, A. B. "Happy" Chandler, the Democratic Governor-elect is down in Hot Spring, Arkansas mixing a much needed rest with golf. In the meantime the mother of Mr. Chandler who lives down in Jacksonville, Florida, and as "happy" as a mother needs to be is telling all the world what a fine boy her son is. She was so happy when interviewed by an Associated Press representative the other day she found it hard to find words to let the Associated Press man know just what kind of a "boy" her son is. Even though she has been parted from him for 31 years, she went so far as to say as follows: "It is not unusual for Happy to stop on the street and talk to some old darky badly in need of legal or domestic advice. My son makes no pretensions to superiority, just because he has received political and social recognition. I know he will make a wonderful Governor. His word is his bond."
DEMOCRATS PLAN FOR INAUGURAL The Third Ward Colored Democratic Club is making plans for a motorcade of a large number of cars to the inauguration of Governor-elect A. B. "Happy" Chandler at Frankfort December 10. It is reported that James Morris, president of the club, is a tireless worker in the promotion of the work of the Negro Democratic club. The members of the committee on arrangements for the inaguration are Ralph Logwood, secretary and Sylvester Williams, business manager.
