HORNS VIE WITH WALLACE
Judge Waits While Police Calm
Listeners and Suppress Dis
tuPbers-Trouble Feared
for Time Between Audi
enee and Disturbers.

Glasgow, Mo, July 3.-Judge Will
liam II, Wallace, candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton, wal undaunted tonight by a
brigade or horn-blowers, who attempt
ed to break up a meeting which the
Judge was addressing In the City
Hall. The police suppressed the mob
with difficulty and Judge Wallace
spoke to a crowd which was too large
for the building, many being forced to
remain outside.
Judge Wallace believed In the Wig
orous enforcement Of all Sunday laws,
and was giving his views to hundreds
Of voters when the blare Of the horns
made bis voice inaudible.
Unlike Demosthenes, Judge Wallace
did not seek to drown the tin-horn
band, but mildly waited until. the
noise had subsidized.
He had scarcely begun speaking
when the tinhorn blowers surrounded
the building and commenced oper-
ations, Those inside who we're much
entertained by the remarks by Judge
Wallace were much incensed at the
demonstration and for a time it was
feared there would be trouble.
Cool heads controlled, however, and
kept the crowd seated while the police
gathered enough deputi es to drive the
serenaders away. Judge Wallace
paced up and down the stage during
the horn-blowing contest, bnt showed
no signs Of anger.
When order was restored, Judge
Wallace resumed his speech.
