construe a rule that eliminates Mr..
Clardy from the race, as follows:
Chairmen Only, are Eligible.

Chairmen Only, are Eligible.
A director of the Planters Protec-
tive Association, must first be
elected chairman of his district, be-
fore he is eligible to act as direc-
tor. F. G. EWING.
Mr.. Clardy has never been a chair
man and this makes him ineligible.
Just what shape the opposition to
Mr.. Radford will take today is now
somewhat predetermined.
The effort to defeat him has thor
oughly reused his friends in and out
of the association and many business
men are interesting themselves in
his behalf.
Mr.. Radford has flied the position
of chairman for three years and has
contributed more than any other
man to the credit of organizing Chris
tan county. He stands for conser-
vatism, honesty and lawful methods
and deserves not only the endorse
ment of his own committee, but is
entitled to promotion to some high
er position if he desires it.
The ineligibility of Mr.. Clardy, it
is believed, will result in the aban-
donment of the effort to defeat Mr..
Radford.
1t is also rumored that the same
element that is opposing MIR. Rad
ford as chairman will attempt to de.
feat Salesman S. G. Buckner with
Jas. S. Ragsdale, also of Lafayette.
Mr.. Buckner, however, was elected
by the Executive or district commit.
tee and it is not believed that the
opposition to his reelection will be-
come formidable.
