!. District.

FranklinyKy., Oct 14.--Judge ORearl
wound up weeks speaking tour On
the Third Congressional districtswith
an address in THE crowded Simpson
county courthouse hene this afuer-
noon. The audience was made up
largely CT farmers, who came from all
sections of the surrounding coun-
try.
Judge O'Rear has been clcsely pur-
sued or just preceded at every place
in this distrinot, by some visiting
Congressman, who appealed to DeImo-
cratic voters to support their ticaSa,
for the sake of its ef6eot on the ma
tional election. Congressman Starley
followed him ait Greanyills and Cen
trial City, and Congressman Heflin,of
Alabama, spoke at Elluton and Frank
lin the day before Judge O'Rear's
date.
Only about a hundred heard the
N1ngressman at Ellaton, and hane on
ly a score of politicians We're present
when the hour arrived. The public
schools wene dismissed, and by ear
ANS. use of the telephone a crowd OF
respectable size was finally secured.
UNDERWOOD MEETS FROST.
Less than 200 people welcomed House
Leader Underwood when he spoke at
p.awling Green, his boyhood home,in
the interest OF the Democratic LICK
ct.
Conditions in Simpson are crafty
ing for the Republican ticket, and
the D mocratic majority will be con-
siderably cut. A bond Issue OF $751;
900 for county roads will bring out
a full vote, which probably Will save
the Dsmocratic organization from los
ing tho county, as many OF its vo-
tiers would not attend the polls, but
Tor this question.
Judge O'Rear was introduced today
by e. H. Black, a merchant of this
place. and referred to the arguments
advanced by Congressman Heflin as
they had been reportsd to- him.

Mr. Hstflin, l understand, talked
: TO you about national ISSUES almost
exclusively" said Judge OiRear. "His
reasoning may have been profound,
and | hope you will keep 1t fresh In
your mind for twelve months, when
We will vote upon national ISSUES.
This year we are considering Stale al
fairs. Our Constitution provides that
State and national elections shall
not be held the same year to avoid cor

"You plant your corn i'm the spring
and your wheat in the fail If sonle-
one should come around and talk to
you about the proper way to prapane
the ground and plant wheat In the
spring, you might give him respectful
attention, but you would not let Vt
Interfere with your corn planting. be-
cause that is the time for planting
corn. So we may listen to their dis

should NOT be allowed to Interfere with
our settlement of Stabe affairs this
year.
STATE OR RARITY :.
mo doubt" he said. "some people
think the parity man should vote al
ways to strengthen the national par
ty, and to those who put the panty
first and parity interasts highest such
arguments apeal. but TO the man
who puts the State first and this
States interests highest, that argu-
ment doss not appeal. We have Sena
torial election this year. and that Is
used as an excuse Dor introducing ma
tional issues: but let US sse how It
works out.
''In every election for Governor
there is also Senatorial election,
