Wheat is selling below $50 a
bushel as compared with $3.50 a

SMITH HAYS NAMED
FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE
Winchester Attorney Has Name
Proposed For Both Party
Nominations In Petitions

Much interest was caused III
political circles Tuesday by the
dispatch from Frankfort to the
morning newspapers which said
that petitions for ]. Smith Hays,
of Winchester, had been filed
with the Secretary Of State, to get
on both the Democratic and Re
publican primary ballots as can
didate for Circuit Judge in this,
the 18th judicial district.
Under the new non-partisan
judicial law, it is permissible for
d judgeship candidate to seek
nomination on both party tickets,
This has been done in several dis
tricts over the state, Judge ira
Bullock having done SO in Fay
cite county and Judge Henry r.
Prewitt having done so in the Mt.
Sterling district.
However, the announcement
from Frankfort about Mr.. Hays
caused surprise as it was not
thought by his friends that Judge
w. X. Shackelford would have
opposition at this late day Judge
Shackelford's petition as Dem
ocratic candidate has been duly
filed in Frankfort.
News comes from Frankfort
that the petitions filed for Mr..
Hays were not signed by him per
sonally but that his name was
proposed for the Democratic
nomination by two democrats Of
the district and for the Republi-
can nomination by two rcpubli-
cans of the district. The two
democrats signing that party's
petition are AIessrS. J. r.
Dunbar and W. \. Langford, OF
Richmond; and the two repubIi-
cans are W. O. Mays and +. 5
Wiggins. Of Richmond.
AIr. Hays could not be reached
by telephone at his home at Win
chester Tuesday morning, when
an effort was made to ascertain ii
he authorized use Of his name a
candidate for both nominations.
The telephone exchange at Win
chester reported him as out of
town.
The Courier Journal Tuesday
also said that a petition to get his
name on the Republican ballot had
also been filed by Judge Shackel-
ford, 50 that a race may develop
between Shackelford and Hays
for both the republican and demo-
cratic nominations. In such an
event, if one were to win both
nominations, he would go to the
final election in November with
out opposition. But if one man
won one nomination and one the
other. no matter which. they
would meet again the November
general election
\ prominent local attorney.
who is said to have discussed the
matter with Mr.. Hays, is said to!
have his assurance that if peti-
tions were filed for him, he would
not withdraw.
Judge Shackelford is at Stan
ton. Powell county, this week,
holding circuit court.
Monday was the last day for
filing petitions for state or dis
trict offices, and quite a number
were filed by candidates Of both
parties. DR.. r. L. Dawson, OF
Stanford, we'll known here, filed
his petition as the republican
candidate for State Senator in the
18th district, composed of Lin
coin, Garrard, Boyle, and Casey
counties, opposing J L. Robinson
of Garrard, Democratic nominee
without opposition. A real race
is expected to result in that dis
trict as it is very close politically
but friends of Mr.. Robinson say
he is d sure Winnc.--
