In the last senatorial campaign in Ken
lucky the opposing candidates in one of
the southern districts, DR.. Harrel and
MI. Clark, who were conducting a joint
debate, had an amusing experience. When
they went to Keysbu1g to fill their APP
pointment to speak they found nobody at
all to hear them. Everybody had gone
to Red river to fish. The candidates fol-
lowed the way the people had gone, n
when they came to the river found quite
an assemblage on the opposite bank.
Harrel mounted a stump and began to
address them at long range, but soon
found that his voice would not hold up
at that distance. so he requested them to
wade out into the river and draw nearer.
Instead of doing this, they sent a skiff
and ferried the candidates over, and then
sat patiently down and listened to the
speeches.. When the speaking was over
the candidates were informed that they
had been speaking in Tennessee.
