SEVERAL UNSETTLED
 FIGHTS IN SOUTHLAND
Kentucky and Tennessee Both Have Some Doubt as to Election
 Results.

Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 3 R-While yesterdays southern campaigns fol seats in the next congress were held in the main to confirmation of dem. ocratic candidates, few races de- velope' such close competition that overni figures have not definitely deter!n .-l the winner.
 In Kentucky Congressman Alben W. Barkley, democrat, is thought to have turned senatorial seat from republican to democratic by a close margin. Early morning figures gave Barkley lead of 25,000 votes over Richard P, Ernst, incumbent, a staunch Coolidge supporter.
 Three Kentucky congressional con- tests also were undecided this morn ing, although 1t appeared almost cer- tain that the tenth district would be represented by Mrs. John ". Lang ley, republican.
 Governor Austin Peay's successful democratic campaign for third term as chief executive of Tennessee was outstanding in the south.
 Many Tennessee counties which had returned republican majorities in 1924 slid into the Peay column yesterday.
 Democratic gubernatorial elections in other solid south states were con- flrmed without opposition.
 One contest watched by southern CTS was that conducted by Ruther- ford B. Hayes. son of the former president of the United States. who lost his campaign for a seat in the Florida legislature.

pen to me-" That's the way was before the murder of my mother and Dr. Hall. Then, 1t happened. And it has taken all the courage could command to go through those trying months and years and still be myself.
 Now this. The whole story all over again. Those memories-sweet memories of my mother-horrible memories of the days after the bodies were discovered-how people treated me.
 But soon it will be over. I can forget. I can live my own life again.
 I even felt little sorry for Mrs. Hall. Willie Stevens, and their brother Henry Stevens when the in- dictments were read. It is strange that l should have much sympathy for those accused of my mothers murder, but I don't like to see any, one suffer. I must control my feel ings. Justice must be done, and am willing to be satisfied with the decision of the jury.

HAUGEN DRAWS Up
FARM RELIEF BILL
Companion to M'Nary Meas
ure Prepared for Intro
duction in House.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A companion for Senator McNary's
farm relief bill was drawn up today
by Chairman Haugen Of the House
agriculture committee, making it pos
sible once, more to attach the title
"McNary -Haugen'' to the proposed
legislation.
The McNary bill already has been
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative F'ulnler, Democrat. South
Carolina, but he changed it so as to
postpone for two years the applica-
ton of an equalization fee on cotton.
AS it was written the measure would
have authorized such a fee on basic
crops, to be used to handle the sur
plus problem.
Mr. Haugen said the closest his bill
came TO bringing up the tariff issue
was a clause that there shall be
modities and those of other products. -
There had been talk of a disagree
ment between Senate farm leaders
and Mr. .Haugen over the tariff as it
related To agricultural relief, but the
belief was expressed today by these
leaders that way, would be found to
concentrate on one farm measure.
Mr.. F'umer expressed qualification
over Mr.. Haugen's move. AS for
their differences on the application of
the equalization fee to cotton, he said,
he felt that that could be threshed out
Pin committee.
Chairman daugen said Later that
