JUDGE lands TO
QUIT FEDERAL BENCH
FOR BASEBALL Job
National Baseball Commissioner WIN
Give Up Federal Bench
Report From Chicago
Says.

Chicago, May. 4. - Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands WIN give up his Job as
Judge of the Federal Court here to de-
vote all his time to his position as
high baseball commissioner. It was
learned authoritatively today
His resignation, according to pres
ent indications, will take effect early
in June.
Since an attack was made on him in
Congress because he held two posi-
tions, the Judge has planned to quit
the court.
He would not quit under fire, how
ever, and could not leave while i'm
peachment proceedings were pending.
The impression among the judges
friends was that he decided to retire
from the bench as soon as he accepted
the baseball position. However, the
prestige added to his baseball rulings
by virtue Of his position on the federal
bench, caused him to retain the Judge
ship for a short time.
! With resignation of Lands the Fed
eral Court will lose one of its most
picturesque characters.

MAYOR RUSSELL
ANNOUNCES HIMSELF
FOR REELECTION
Hon. Thomas VI. Russell Seeks 10 Be
Returned to Office He Has Held
During Past Four Years
Has Served City Well.

Mayor Thomas M. Russell today an
nounces himself as candidate for
re-electo Jon to the office of Mayor, the
highest Office within the gift Of the
people of Maysville. Mr.. Russell ap-
preciates the confidence reposed in
hims by the good people of Maysville
during the past four years and is
proud Of the record his administration
has made during such strenuous
period.
Mayor Russell has proven splen-
did executive and his administration
closes with many progressive steps to
its credit despite the fact that during
practically all Of the term the World
War had turned most matters upside
down. Maysville was always found in
the fore front Of all patriotic move
ments during the war period and
Mayor Russell was always found
Icduy anu dhAiOuo W iOhu thO Siey
Administrations facilities to every
movement.
Because of the conditions existing
during the war and the present recon-
struction period, the administration
was handicapped in accomplishing
some of the progressive ideas pre-
viously planned and the Mayor Is ask
ing an opportunity to carry out his
plans for Maysville through another
administration.
Personally popular. unquestionably
progressive and yet conservative
enough to always protect the citys
best interest, Mayor Russell's friends
feel he deserves reelection.
