There, side by side, in columns headed "Shaw Says:" and "Ford Says:" they had their daily say. They addressed each other as "my friend next door," "my fellow columnist." Candidate Ford had need of more ingenuity than his opponent in conducting his column. Not being the incumbent, he could not fill space by telling how he helped perform such municipal miracles as supplying "230 million gallons of pure water" daily to Los Angeles.
