The Latvian media are telling us this morning that the real candidate hiding behind the ''shoe-in'' president is red head. Since our Wormelings had presumed that the "in" color was orange, one hastened to die her hair red.

Whether this is so or not only time will tell. At this time, however, our own candidate, re Pulkvedis Yandahlins, is keeping a low profile. Hint: he is thinking of coming out all green.
