MORE 1SLATES
 BEING PREPARED
 IN BOARD DRIVE
Unprecedented Situation Created As Aspirants
 Seek To Evade Support

Persistent reports that more s'slates'' are about to be prepared in the board of reyenne race brought a burst of ac- tivity and more or less excitement among the candidates Thursday.
 Instead of trying to get on these slates, vast majority of the candi- dates appeared to be making determined efforts to keep off. Veteran political observers said this was, an unprece- dented situation.
 Replies Are Given
 Questioning of . number of the can didates drew replies substantially to this effect:
 v campel lgn mana gers and many of ny etHonEssf Ei1ppa1ffrs haze ndxi&esl
 e Wnald 1e zes o Afeef clear q sl4fek They ksNSi to think the rank and file of the voters are tiring of this sort of thins.y s
 Other candidates frankly admitted they would like to gain indorsement of various organizations and clubs but that they would feel easier if the slates were not made pubiic.a
 Several candidates whose names ap- appear on slates previously prepared and announced took issue with the rest of the pack. They declared their cam paigns had been strengthened and said they would not object to open indorse- ment at the hands of other bodies in the county.
 All candidates who expressed them selves in any fashion said. they pre- ferred mot to be quoted Names Withheld
 Names of the additional organiza- tions who are planning to indorse can. didates were not given out, but none of the 24 candidates in the board race doubted lthat more "slates" are com ing soon.
 Talk of all sorts of ~trades'' in con, nection with the patronage to be con trolled by the next revenue board, also stood out prominently in Thursday $ developments.
 Some candidates, it was said, have pledged themselves to support certain persons for subsidiary positions in re- turn for campaign support. Rumors flew thick and fast that details would be given in political speeches soon to be made by some of the contestants.
 Meeting Is Planned
 A big political meeting will be held Friday evening at Leeds, in the west ern section of the county, and most of the candidates for the revenue board and other offices are planning to attend. Time win be divided among all candi- dates who appear, according to an nouneement.
 Citizens of the Leeds section planned the meeting in order to get first-hand information as to the views of the can didates on the issues in the campaign.
 State specifically your attitude as to the construction of a countrywide system of permanent roads" will be one of the queries to be put to. the speakers, it. is learned.
 With May 15 drawing steadily near CT, all of the races are warming up rap idly, with indications that another week will see the campaign at it's height.

WON'T STOP VOTE
But Norris Will Hear All Bids As They
 Come

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Indica- tions pointed sharply today toward a vote on the Muscle Shoals issue in the Senate before Congress adjourns.
 Advocates of the Henry Ford bid have been pressing the Senate agricul- ture committee for a report on the bid which has passed the House so that the Senate might vote finally on the offer. Chairman Norris has taken the stand that all of the some half dozen bids for Muscle Shoals should be considered by the committee before any report is made.
 He reiterated his position today when he replied to demand by Senator Un- derwood. democrat, Alabama, on the Senate floor for an early vote on the Ford bid. Explaining that the commit tee was now engaged in hearings on the Muscle Shoals bid and committee action was expected within two weeks, Chairman Norris declared no attempt would be made by the committee to pre- vent vote on any of the bids Senator Underwood retorted that the Ford bid had been invited by the govern ment, would not be changed and Q vote should be had without delay.

spond with as many and as nice things
as possible, and help make the sale a
success.

that of the presidents and representa-
tives of the various women's clubs OF
the county, which met at the home OF
Mrs. Gurr on Wednesday afternoon.

the various performers exhibiting cOnsi-
derable skill and deXtority in their re-
