What Governors Hear

STATES & CITIES

A Governor has to make many a speech. At Ann Arbor, last week. Governor Wilber Marion Brucker of Michigan made a speech. Afterward, a Governor is supposed to shake the hands of as many of his audience as desire it. Stewart H. Redner, University of Michigan law student, was one of those who wished to have Governor Brucker shake his hand. A Governor is supposed to have something pleasant to say to those who want their hands shaken. When Student Redner said: "I killed my grandmother today," Governor Brucker smiled cordially, replied: "I'm very glad to make your acquaintance." Withdrawing, Student Redner said he was not surprised at the Governor's remark. For a long time it had been his theory that public men do not pay a bit of attention to what rank-&-file citizenry say to them. Governor Brucker later insisted that he had heard Student Redner perfectly.
