Lexington, June 14.—A overflowed the Lexington county I courthouse forced a transfer to a nearby schoolhouse as the statewide Democratic campaign tour opened heie this morning with'Cole L. Blease, 'senatorial candidate, delivering the first speech. ' Candidates were to speak in alpha betical order. “I favor allowing the iieople," Blease said, “to settle that que.stio’n (prohibition) at the ballot box. I do not believe in leaving it to a c-onven-1 tion. I do not l*e!ieve in leaving it to legislators.

He also criticized the senate for refu.sing- to cut federal salaries 10 pel cent. “Putting of kinfolks on the govern ment payroll ought n.ot be countenanc ed under present conditions,” he said/, the debt free, intelligent, up-to-date i this year will become more and more farmers are not getting rich just now. i variable from year to year and will They are, hew'ever, making a good living and will be in position to make money when tne turn toward better times come?, These farmers are in a better posi tion at present than any other class and they need never fear the sheriff if they continue their present course of— (1) Improving their land.?, and pre venting erosion by a sensible rota tion including several legume crops.
