...Elmer was in the workers' bad books because he: 1) refused all offers of compromise after the union had turned down an offer from him, and 2) demonstrated that the No. 1 industry in a small city is hard for labor to beat. Governor Kraschel was marked for union reprisal because he alternately played the union's and Maytag's games in his campaign for reelection, was consistently helpful to neither side, finally enforced the dismissal of twelve key men in Local 1116, United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America. Having curried labor votes by declaring martial...

...into A.F. of L.'s bad graces by espousing much liberal legislation approved by C.I.O. At home, he rashly antagonized Mayor Charles Kennon Quin's San Antonio machine and the potent Irish-Catholic vote. Last week Attorney Paul Joseph Kilday-an Irishman, Roman Catholic and Quin machinist-beat Maury Maverick by 546 votes in 49,312 votes cast. Said Maury Maverick: "Lincoln got beat four times.
