‘Simon Legree 5 of House Is Given Whip by G. O. P. Salve and Powder Presented in Legislative Ceremony to Ease ‘Wounds’ of ‘Maligned’ Victim. “3imon Legree” of the House of Representatives, with a id new whip in hand, went back to his home in Bluflton today.

The pseudo "Legree,” according to G. O. P. representatives, is Rep. Frank G. Thompson <D., Bluflton), majority leader. The Democratic floor leader was presented a buggy whip with a longtailed cracker on the end by Republican representatives in yesterday's closing session. Rep. Glenn R. Slenker (R„ Monticello), in the presentation speech, related the capabilities of the floor leader in whipping "home rule” and farm bloc Democrats into line on administration measures. “But,” he said, “at the 1937 session Mr. Thompson will have to reliquish his buggy whip to Rep. Knapp (House minority leader) when the Republicans take control of the legislature.” Just to ease the whip burns on the back of Rep. Bennett H. Rockey (D., Sharpsville), farm bloc member, the Monticello legislator picked him out as an example of what salve ana powder will do to ease the sting of the administration “black snake” by presenting Mr. Rockey with talcum powder and ointment.
