The late Luther c. Abbott, for more
than 30 years one of Richmond's law

locally for his keen wit and many are
the stories related concerning demon

One of the best, and one which
Judge Abbott related one day to a
group of his friends gathered in his
little office on West Main street, had
to do with discussion that took place
in the circuit court room at Eaton.

Abbott was practicing law in Preble

This discussion, participated in by
seven Or eight courthouse attaches

had been propounded by one of the
group as to who is the best lawyer

Home Town Stories

The ficklenesS of voters, or many
OF them, has an illustration in one O:
hichmond's campaigns many years
ago when one of the entrants for the
office of township trustee was the ven
cradle Micamy WATSON, an estimable
citizen, possibly trifle eccentric, and
known to a majority of the townspeo-
Pile
Mr. WATSON was not a politician and
his aspirations to become an office
holder were inspired from good mo-
tives and with the idea foremost that
he would be a good public servant
He made an active canvass, met the
voters face to face, explained to
them why he believed he should be
elected and asked them point blank
whether they would or would not sup
port him. Voters as a rule, now as
well as in the days when this Incl
dent took place, shy al direct ques-
ton of this kind. They dislike to
hurt the feelings of the candidate by
giving him a negative answer of they
are against him, and as a result many
of them are likely to indicate pref
erence for the candidate in order to
sail smoothly out of an embarrassing
situation.
Jotted Down Names
The venerable Mr.. WATSON met with
this sort of an experience. In little
note book that he carried he Jotted
down the names of each voter with
reference as to whether such voter
was for or against" him.
The canvas finished, all that was,
necessary to do was to foot I'D the
'fors' and the against" and know
Just what the situation was. Mr.. Was
sons tabulations showed a clear ma
Ior1ty of the voters for him if most
OF them went to the polls to vote. The
election, however, failed to verify the

official circles.
Ambassador Harvey's speech at the
Lyceum Club Monday night, in which
he declared the fate of Europe hung
upon the Forthcoming week and con-
ference. was inadequately reported,
and the diplomats here are just be-
ginning to discuss it.
Considerable Importance in this con
nection is attached to arrival here or

Information is passed on from Of
fetal quarters to the effect that Har-
vev. preparing his speech for Monday
night. intended to speak on some in
notous subject but changed his
plans at the last minute presumably
upon information or institutions from
Washington.
Referring to the Brussels project,
Ambassador Harvey said:
"If the Premier's themselves are
unable to agree, it's useless to expect
results from a meeting of a few un-
der s+rappers at Brussels"
Ambassador Harvey may play a
role similar to that of Richard Wash
