4 The Different Contests
The operation Of the Barksdale pure
election law and the action Of the 1lenr1co
Committee in declaring for the law ana
constituting itself an agency for the en-
forcement OF It.. does no little to make the
fight sharp and clearly defined. 1t puts
every man upon an equal footing.

more SO every day. Six candidates are ~

a+s The Cerkship Fight.
1t is a battle royal between Broaddus
and Waddill for the county clerkship
Both are standing for reelection" eacf
declaring that the others office has beer
abolished.
~ Mr.. Broaddus appears confident OF sue
cess. He has made a hard fight, ant
spends his nights in town in order to at
+ tend many Of the meetings Mr. Broad
dus claims that the County Court clerk
ship has been abolished, along with tn
County Court system The new Consti
tuition provides for 81 county clerk. VIII
shall be clerk Of the Circuit Court. Thu
new office. Mr.. Broaddus declares, i
2 Identical with his present one, and tina
hence no is simply standing for re-elec
ton. Mr.. Waddll. he says, has no of
Ace to run for. and Is trying to Gus
him (Broaddus).
A view Of the matter just the opposit
Is taken by Mr.. Waddill. who was a mem
her of the Constitutional Convention, an
( who introduced the very measure abol
ishing county courts. He declares tina
the cerkshir. however. was not abolished
It was retained. and the circuit clerkshi
was merged into It. Hence no holds tha
Mr.. Broaddus isi without office. Mr.. Wad
dill shows that the new Constitution call
for "ona county clerk, who shall be tn
clerk of the Circuit Court" Furthermore
he argues that the circuit clerkshir !
even now a mere incidental thing. 1t !
only operating In counties having pop
nlation Of over 5000. where the count,
clerk could not do all the work, and wher
II the circuit clerkshp was nncessarll
formed. There are about fourteen o
these counties.
Mr.. Broaddus argues that tho count
cerkship has been abolished and tho cir
cult clerkship retained, IN this case, say
Mr.. Waddlll there would then he election
In but fourteen counties, and there woul
