Such is the story of “Blind Tom" Gore, the 'man who nominated | ‘Woodrow Wilson for president at Baltimore in 1912, who has now emerged from the political bushes with Oklahoma's democratic nomin- ation for the U. S. senate, thanks to & heavy farmer vote. Stone blind, far from rich and visibly aged, he de- feated one millionaire oil man for his party’s nomination and now faces another in the general election in November. His republican opponent is Senator W. B. Pine, seeking a sec- ond terg Wins Public Applause To understand ex-Senator, Gore's ‘comeback one should visit Oklahoma and see how he works — and re-| member ghat' the state has a b)g‘ farmer vote and that these farmers, | ridden by drought and beset by low | prices, are far from satisfied and in | a mood for a change. This scene might be laid'in any Tural Oklahoma town: In the wake of a parade that has wound its way through the dusty streets behind a nolsy band, Gore mounts a platform in th§ public square. He is a gray-haired man with a round face and a florid complexion. His wide, blue eyes — of no use to him jor nearly a halt century—Ilook straight ahead with a vacant expres- sion. “My friends,” he begins in & voice that is tender and pleading and yet as resonant as any you ever ‘ward “I drove today over a ‘road from | Font Towson that was rough and dusty. Time and again I was bounced helplessly-in the seat of the car, and I made a solemn resolve.” At this point, the,speaker turns his blind eyes upward and pauses MINNA SCHWARTZ, B.

One of the “Home Folks" That pictures “Blind Tom" in ac- tion, but the real reason for his suc- cess lies deeper than thdt. This rea- son explains, too, the success of his colofful running mate, 'Alfalfa Bill" Murray, the democratic nomines for governor, who, practically pennileas, { campaigned by hitch-hiking over the state. To the hickory-shirted, blue-jean- | ed farmers in rural Oklahoma both | “Blind Tom” and “Alfalfa Bil¥'-are pretty much like home folks.” They speak their language, they know | their problems, they call them “Bill" and “Jim,” they attend their all-day revivals and hymn singings . . . and naturally, they are a lot closer to the rural electorate than an oil million- | aire living off in Tulu or OKlahoma. City. Though Oklahoma b best known as an oil state, it ig the farmer vote that really counts’ an§ when these farmers are in the ood for change they naturally look’ for lead- ers among their own kind. Colorful, Pathetic Life life of Oklahoma’s blind solon has blen almost as colorful as the peculiar brand of politics played in the state from which he hails — and, in its personal phase, pathetic. He has never ceen the face of the girl he courted and married over 30 vears ago — and she has proved a really wonderful wife — nor faces of his two. children. He knows them by their voices . . . or by the affectionate stroke of a sensitive hand across their features. He has never seen an auto, 2n| airplane or a skyscraper -and al- though a senator for a dozen years he has never seen the United States capitol or the White House. He re- | members, vagugly, the sunsets that | he saw as a child and the flowerd| that grew in his mother's yard in Mississippi. A few years ago when doctors were making a belated effort to re- store his sjght and seemed ‘near success he was asked what he want- ed to cee. “My wife,” he repligd. “I would like to see the face of the woman 1 mar- ried 21 years ago.’ The attempt ended in disappoint- ment. Perhaps it was bitter, ~but Gore never complained. Excellent in Studdes Despite his blindness, Gore was| graduated from Cumberland Uni-| versity law schogl at Lebanon, Tenn., in 1892, with an ex&llent record. In those days Oklahoma was a frontier territory beckoning to a young man with amibtions to succeed in politics, g0 he went there in 1901 after a brief residence in Texas. There he met and married Nins Kay ot Pal- estine, Tex. Six years later he went to the United ‘States senate as one of Okla- homa's Tepresentatives senate he rémained until 1920. He was first appointed.by the governor and then twige elected for six-year terms. It was his opposition to President Wilson's war measures and League of Nations proposals, it is sald, that defeated him, At any rate he lost the democratic senatorial nomina- tion and his farmer friends quickly got revenge by turning their support to Senator J. W. Harreld, & gepub- lican, in the November election with the result that Harreld was 8lected. Harreld held on for one term and then the job passed to Senafor Pine. g Split With Wilson Prior to their break, Gore had been an ardent Wilson Just what caused the split has never been entirely clear. At Baltimore, in 1912, he had made the speech placing Wilson's name in nomination’ at the demo- cratic national convention., After severa} years of political ob- scurity as an attorney in Washin ton, Gord returned to the democratic convention at Houstonein 1928. It was a stifling afternoon .under a blazing Texas sun and speaker after speaker had failed to register until he mounted the platform. “My friends,” he began in' the same soft, deep voice with which he had been wont to ingratiate himself | with Oklahoma farmers for years, | “the republieans met at Kansas City | a few days ago and nominated a candidate for president." Then he paused, turned his vacant eyes upward and made the famdliar gesture 6f patting the back of his left hand meditatively with his right.

Wife Acts As Eyes | Through his years of darkness, Senator Gore's wife has been his tireless companion. She has read to | him most of the thousands of ‘books that line the walls of his great pri- vate library in his home here, and | painted for him in words the pie- tures of life, of the senate, of busy treets, of his home and his children that his eyes will never see.

There is no dole system in force here. The government, social insur- ance subsidy is only given to those workers who regularly pay their in- girance quota every month. Half of this is paid by the employer, and [ halt by the workers. Employes, such as clerks, are outside the goverry ment scheme of social insurance, unless their own organizations or corpprations have made special pro- vision to This end., This only hap- pens in special cases. According to official figures, on July 81, there were 63,000 unem- ployed in agriculture; 28,000 odd in the metal industries; 73,754 in the building and road repairing trade, and 66,696 in the textile in- | dustries.

In addi- plon there are extensive programs for municipal public works for large sums. The principle behind the Italian government's plans for dealing with unemployment is ‘no money for nothing.” The dole is not ad- mitted, and every workman must earn the money he obtains from {the government's public works scheme. = Halo, Are Your Viski, Fayvoklokti Orrayt?
