...applied by Washington newshawks to Congressman Edward Eugene Cox of Georgia. For his friendship for peanuts, which TIME did mention, Congressman Cox is dubbed "Goober." There's very little pretense about "Goober." He's sincere and frequently speaks his mind. That's why he's popular with Washington correspondents. His suite in the House Building retains much of the flavor of the small town lawyer's office.

All this left "Mitch" more popular than ever with most Ontario voters and users of electricity. Last week some of these wealthy Canadian interests which had flayed Premier Hepburn for tearing up the power contracts were now arrayed behind him because of his fight against C. I. O. According to orthodox Canadian newsorgans, the Premier...
