TECHNICAL OBJECTION
Is Raised to the Petition Filed
By R. c. Crenshaw at
Frankfort.

Frankfort. KY, June 25.-Unless
Secre&ry Of State Creceius decides
in his favor. or r G. Crenshaw, of
Christian county. can by proceedings
in Frapklin Circuit Court secure
an order requiring the Secretary Of
State to place his name on the pri-
mary ballot as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for State
Senator in the Sixth district. Sena-
tor r. P. Salmon, of Hopkins coun-
ty, will'have no opposition for the
nomination. by reason of Mr.. Cren-
shaw's failure to file his personal Pc
tition in the office of Secretary of
State Monday.
Mr.. Crenshaw is expected here to-
day. Senator Salmon was here yes
terday and conferred with Attorney
General Garnett and Secretary Of
State c. F. Crecelius. The latter
has not decided what he will do with
Mr.. Crenshaw's personal petition,
which was signed by Judge James
II. Hazelrigg, of this city, in his
name. and marked by the Secretary
of State Offered. but not fled"
Senator Salmon insists that per-
sonal petition cannot be signed by
anyone else for candidate, but he
must sign it himself. but said: Il
am taking no steps. l am waiting
for the other side to act. l shall
not be here at the drawing for
places on the ballot. as | do not con
slider that have opposition"
Section 6 of the primary act re-
quires that the candidates personal
petition shall state the name. age.
post-office address, political affilia-
tions and all other qualifications of
the candidate, and Senator Salmon's
contention is that no one can do this
for a candidate,
If Secretary Creculius decides that
Mr.. Crenshaw's petition was not
properly signed and filed in time,
the only recourse for Mr.. Crenshaw
will be to bring proceedings under
the act in this county. Circuit Judge
Stout is out of the city, and County
Judge Heat would have original
and exclusive jurisdiction to decide
the questions, and there would be
no appeal from his decision.
Frankfort. KY, June 27.-Secre-
tary Crecelius decided against r. C.
Crenshaw's name going on the bal
lot and he appealed to the courts and
secured an order overruling the
Secretary.

CHANGE in HOSIERY
Solid COlOrS Are to Remain,
But Will Be 0rnamented.

The new fad in hosiery has not
reached Hopkinsville. but is liable to
arrive by fall-at least that is what
is to be feared.
According to the fashion papers
solid colors will prevail. but there
will be some ornamentation. Har-
monizing colors of ribbon will begin
near the top Of the shoe and will be
wound around the limb like strips
on a BARRIERS pole, Besides there
will be other catchy" ways along
the line Of ornamentation.

Determined 20 get out the pa

Finally one of the linotypes was

A great deal of the matter has
been set in this way.
