With large attendance for the
final session, the annual 1886 Hender-
son Automobile Show, Merchants Elk
position and Indoor Circus came to a
close Saturday night at the Big Hen
derson Warehouse, where it was open
ed on Monday evening of last week,
to run through the entire week.
Officials of the American Legion
and D. G. Loughlin, who managed the
affair for the Legion, said today the
exposition had been a success, and G..
w. Furqueron, post commander, was
very much pleased, as was Mr.. Lough-
lin, with the support given the under
taking by the people of the city, this
county and section.
The attendance was a trifle under
that for 1895, but there was less ex-
pense, and it is believed that the ex-
position will prove to be almost as
beneficial to the post as it was last
year.
The amateur hour program Satur-
day night was the feature of the final
night. On the program were the prize
ing evenings, and the three grand
prizes were in each instance split, the
judges finding it. difficult to pick the
three best, so there were six in all.
The first prize OF $25 was split be-
tween Carl Brown, 11-year-old boy of
Peachtree street, and Dorsey Evans
of Clark street, both of whom sang
solo numbers. The second prize of $15
was divided equally between the Thar

FARLEY PLANS
KANSAS TALK

The Administration is sending
its chief political campaigner -
Chairman James A. Farley, Of the
Democratic national committee
into Kansas, Governor Landon's
home territory, for a Washington's
Birthday address.
Farley will speak at Topeka Sat
urday night and plans at least
two other addresses through the
corn belt area. His speech will
be entitled "The Campaign and
the Corn Crop"
The Kansas governors charges
Of New Deal waste and inefficiency
have brought him to the forefront
of possible Republican nominees
against President Roosevelt.
Farley is expected to answer
these charges, and point to New
Deal payments to farmers and
those on relief in Kansas in urg-
ing support to the Roosevelt farm
program.
At the same time Farley is de-
Tending the Administration at
Topeka, Governor Talmadge Of
Georgia, bitter Democratic critic
Of the President, will make his
second entry into the Midwest

Constitution and Entangling AL
liances," a favorite theme for this
inveterate foe Of the League
Court.
