drawing From Race i'm 1880.

Mrs Katherine, Langley, Representa-
tive from Kentucky, announced today
that she had no intention of retiring
from politics. Her husband, whom she
succeeded in the House after he was
sentenced to two years in prison for
violating the prohibition law, received
a full pardon from President Coolidge
at Christmas, making him again eligible
for election. Some speculation has been
heard as to whether he again would

Mrs. Langley said it had been brought
to her attention that the press is car
rying q statement that will not be a

that she had authorized no such state
ment and that naturally an announce
ment of this character must emanate
from the candidate herself"
She was recently elected to the
Seventy-first Congress.
