helpless.

families, went TO Paducah to witness
the attempt at lynching Mathis. ThS
were arrested and searched and revol-

1t is the scheme of "old guard"
who have manipulated things for the
Democrats at the city hall in years
past TO win these five seats this fall,
thus making the bard a tie, and
then secure a majority by any means
possible. A Democratic successor to
Councilman Dipple. who would have
been a holdover. would give a party
majority of one in the lower board
should the crowd succeed in electing
all six of its men.
However. Mayor Yeiser has the
reputation of being independent in
