banker. plea was that he came
up from the masses, knew their needs,
and was the proper man to represent
them in congress. Tf elected, he
.would stand for large appropriations
. i
for vocational training, and for a
strict regulation of the "big business."
Ho went sharply after the profiteers,
and wants the embargo or> Southern
products raised so that money will
flow freely through the regular channels.
He said that he favored the
American Cotton Association so that
distressed cotton could be properly
cared-for: and also announced his advocacy
of good roads.
Ih C. Mann began- with a series of
pleasant jests at the expense of candidate
1'ulmer. He paid a glowing
tribute- to Mr. Lover and his distinguished
services. He pledged himself
| to work against any discrimination
'against the South relative to tlie purI
chasing of potash and other needs of
the Southern farmer. He wants eduI
cation, 1 ut is opposed to universal
! militarv training on account of the
out-r.umbering proportion of n* roes
! in the South. He thinks 1hat the
negro problem is now .lie biggest
one confronting us in that the safety .
of our homes is involved.
| Colin S. Monteith being a stranger I
to politics and to a large per cent, of
Lexington people, introduced himself |
and his policies in a pleasant manijer.
He cried down "mud slinging" and
will not engage in it himself. He
favors the American Cotton AssociaCuller,

Tie stated that he was not a
politician, but that he had character,
that he would match with any man in
the race. He says that the "ring"
that he is accused of belonging' to is
composed of his life-long friends and
co-workers who' arc properly interested
in his race.
