through some unexpected circum-
stance Democrat slipped in for one
term. Then along came Sydney
Mudd, jr.. who was elected in 1914
and remained in the House until his
death a few days ago upset the ma
tional political equilibrium and threw
a real scare into the old party leaders
In the emergency, and in the hope
of keeping the district in a state of
"normalcy," the Republicans have
once again turned to a Mudd-to Tom
Mudd, the younger brother of the
dead Congressman. He is a very
popular young man, but the Demo-
Gratis are making a stiff fight against
him.

II is related of the district that In
the old days before literacy tests and
the general education of the negroes
who abound down this way, 1t was
easy to teach those who could not
read or write to recognize the name
Mudd' on ballot and to instruct
them to place their mark in front of
that namee The scheme was so effec-
tive that the demoralized Democrats
made strenuous search for some one
named Mudd whom they could nomi-
nate. There was not Jeffersonian
Mudd to-be found, however, and the
Republicans continued to hold their
advantage. much to the dismay of
their opponents.
This little village of La Plata, a
junction point of the main State high

COURT TO PROBE USE
OF "ELECTRIC CHAIR"
Teacher Says Punishment Device
Only "Tingled" Refractory

GAINESVILLE, Mimi, October 23.-
Excitement which had prevailed with
the first announcement that H. T..
Opsahl, science teacher in the Barnes
Vile High School, had been arrested
and released on $4,000 bond in con-
nection with charges that he used an
electric chair" to punish insubordi-
nate students, had abated today with
parents, members of the school board
and Opsahl all apparently content to
await the outcome Of the preliminary
hearing Saturday.
The hearing will be held before
Judge Casper Berg in Justice Court
here, and until that time it is indi-
Gated Opsahl will continue to have
charge of his classes as usual.
The use of the electric chair" ac-
cording to Opsahl, was the outcome
of a method to scare" the studen is
who since the beginning of school
would not subject themselves to dis
dipline. 1t was made from standard
office chair to which high frequency
coil had been attached, Opsahl said,
and under the most favorable condi-
tions to the transmission of the cur
rent, would merely cause a tingling
sensation to the student being pun
ished."
