Catts, Eggs
Sidney Johnston Catts, Democrat, used to be Governor of Florida (1916-20). Many a speech had he made in and near Florida's capital, Tallahassee. Last week he mounted a Tallahassee bandstand and began an anti-Smith speech. He touched upon Roman Catholicism. Whizzz-smack went an egg. Mr. Catts continued. Whizzz-smack went many eggs. Mr. Catts stopped talking. Irate, he left the bandstand, offered to fight any man in the crowd in single combat, offered a reward for the apprehension of his eggers.
