"a candidate for that position, as
they wanted to revive the Populist
Party with me as the Standard
Bearer.
Well, the Governor showed me
what had happened to a friend of
his who had been defeated for Gov
ernor in our state, so he discouraged
me. | won't accuse him of doing it
purposely, but he did. His friends
campaign expenditures were as fol-
lows:

voters thrash wheat; shook hands
with the entire State; smoked 1900
sacks Of Bull Durham; cut y
cords of wood helped brand 5000
calves spayed 1000 of them; was
sprinklcd s times in Methodist
Churches; totally immersed in cold
water in muddy creek; three times
by the Baptist; went to confession
in every Catholic Town; paid dues
to ii Synagogues charter member
OF the Holy-Rollcrs; listened to
500 gct-together Kiawanis, Lions,
and Rotary speeches; bought sheet
and pillow slip in every Ku Klux
Khan in the State; and then | was
defeated.
" Bull Durham was my sole
satisfaction not only during, but
after election. IL is the only thing
that stayed with me"

VACCINATION LAW
 BACKED BY COURT
State Statute Upheld by Ruling
 Of Judge

Hartford, June P-The state law which gave the school board power 10 exclude pupil from at tendance at school unless the child was vaccinated or presented doc tors certificate Of disability was up- held in a decision by Judge Thomas J. Molloy, of the common pleaG court yesterday.
 The judge found that Charles P. Botsford, superintendent of the Hartford board of health, had the right to disapprove the certificate order of an eclectic doctor. that Ar mold Emmons was unfit for vac cination, and that the board of edu- cation could exclude the boy from attendance until he submitted to vaccination.
 The question was raised in a writ, known to lawyers as an alter native writ of mandamus, and the further question was raised as to whether the states attorney. as usual in the bringing of such writs, had to sign it. States Attorney Hugh M. AIcorn refused to sign inc writ because the doctor who had issued the certificate of the boy disability was Dr. R. M. Ripley. of Unionville, an eclectic doctor. Un- der Mir. Alcorn's direction, the grand jury investigated the activi- ties Of the eclectic doctors in this state two years ago in obtaining their diplomas and licenses.
