...election as Governor of Kentucky, sadly watched a band of dissident Democrats rebel against his organization, nominate and elect Bert Combs as his successor. Vowed Happy as he saw Combs sworn in: "I will come back and clean them out again." But it did not turn out that way-and last week Happy was sadder than ever...
