("Plain Bill") Brandon of Alabama had "openers"* will never be known, for at that particular moment last week a deputy sheriff and raiding party rudely interrupted the gubernatorial poker game at McQueen's Camp near Magnolia Springs, Ala. Behind the Governor's chair the intruders found a half case of whiskey, and in the room he occupied with several friends there was a suitcase which clinked and gurgled mischievously.
