ROUGH HOUSE
Closing Meeting in Democratic
Primary Campaign Was a
Warm One. Serious
Trouble Threatened.
ENDED WITH DEMONSTRATION.

City Marshal Igleheart and
his deputies were "Jonnie on the
Spot" at the Democratic speak
ing last Thursday night and
quoted what threatened to be a
trough house,"
The movement was started by
an exchange of courtesies be-
tween Judge r. B. Bradley,
who was speaking, and Judge G.
@. Givens, who was in the audi.
ence and took exceptions to GER
tain statements concerning him
self made by the speaker.
Friends of Judge Bradley began
oYertures but the officers and
friends interviewed and no harm
was done save to window sash
and furniture that was in the
way of a hurried exit of large
part of the audience.
1t was hard for a time to find
anybody who knew what had
happened. One said "If you'd
seen me going out that window
you wouldn't ask me what hap
pened." Others, ''we were in
the grand rush fer the main
exit"
In the meeting voters were
won and lost and the speaking
was warm and generally of a
personal flavor, which held a
large and politically mixed audi
ence to the end. The closing at
traction was a monologue by
Munnell Wilson who on Tues
day proved the winning candi-
date for the legislative nomina-
ton.
The Darlington meeting was
the closing feature of the cam
paign. Because of its heated
character the meeting that was
announced for Madisonville on
Friday night was called off.
