by two congressman, Harold D. Cooley
of the fourth district, in which this
county is located, and Judge John
H. Kerr, of Warrenton, of the second
district
Mrs. J. T. Alderman is to introduce
Mr.. Cooley. Mr.. Stone is to open the
meeting and preside.
It is expected the court room will
be filled with Democrats and their
friends, and a special invitation has
been extended to the ladies to attend.
Since there are to be two addresses,
it is not anticipated that either of the
speakers will talk for very long, and
party leaders promise citizens who at
tend that there will be a good pro-
gram, good speaking and logical
presentation of the claims of the party
on the electorate for support.
It is the only rally of the so-called
off-ycar campaign. Emphasis will be
placed by the speakers on State and
national issues. Democratic candi-
dates for county offices are without
opposition in the election of next Tues
day, as there is no Republican ticket
in the county.

plifying system would be installed
