posed to take advantage of his constitu-
tonal right TO freedom of speech. which

without any strings attached, and would
neither take orders nor accept contribu-

that Hon. Buck Oliver, of Alabama,
will speak to the voters OF the city

MORROW AND ERNST SPEAK TO
LARGE CROWDS

One of the largest gatherings o:
Republicans and of members of other
parties that has been in the court
mousse for many years, greeted
Republican Senatorial nominee Rich
ard P. Ernst and Governor Edwin F.
Morrow, Friday night, when they
spoke to the assembled multitude.
The crowd was so large that many
were unable to gain admittance to
The big Circuit Court room, and the
overflow vas addressed from the
court house steps by Gov. Morrow.
Mr.. Ernst and Governor Morrow
arrived from Georgetown, where they
delivered addresses in the afternoon.
Before reaching Paris they were en-
tertained at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Catesby Woodford, on the
Georgetown pike, near Paris.
Mr.. Ernst was introduced to the
audience by Republican County
Chairman w. A. Thomason, MIR.
Ernst prefaced his speech by telling
how he loved the people of Paris and
Bourbon county, and stated that as a
boy he had played in the streets of
Paris, and we'll remembered the total
eclipse of the sun, over fifty years
ago, watching it from a point near
The old Paris Hotel. Mr.. Ernst spoke
for nearly two hours, devoting his
time mainly to the League of Ma
tions, interspersed with criticism of
the Democratic policies, and told his
hearers that the League of Nations
really fegalized war. He advised the
United States to stay at home and at
70 &c CT
was slightly handicapped by the ia
tigue of long and tiresome cam
paign, but his address was we'll pre-
sented and heartily applauded.
Gov. Morrow was introduced 10
the big overflow meeting by Mrs. ).
A. Gilkey. There is no doubt of Gov.
Morrow's popularity with the people
of Paris and the county, his recep-
ton being marked by hearty ap
plause. He addressed his hearers as
fellow Americans" and said he was
there to talk as an American to
Americans. He devoted considerable
time to the issues of the campaign
and depiored the fact that the race
question had been brought into 1t.
He said that many speakers in the
Lad talked SO much about
other countries that they had for
gotten their own. He deplored the
efforts of others to bring the old race
into the campaign, and
that the Jim Grow coach law, the
school question, and race
were dead issues.
At the conclusion of his address
Gov. Morrow was given an ovation
and held an informal reception. He
was entertained at supper at the1
Windsor Hotel before the speaking
by County Chairman w. A. Thoma-
SON, and other promenent local Re.
publicans. Mrs. Christine Bradley
South, who was to have delivered
an address to the women of the
county, was detained by reason OF
illness, and will come to Paris at q
later date.
