Frank Farrell of Louisville, we derstand, is going to stay on Democratic ticket as a candidate the otllce.
Mr. Farrell was in no sense a can¬ didate for the nomination and tiled no nomination papers as Is reijuired by tlie primary election law. The democrats liaving no catididate at the primary, a few scattering votes were cast for Mr. Farrell as a "Joke" as was said by the democratic paper the following week. Also a few scattering votes were cast for A. A. Adams of Flora as a I'rogressive candidate in tlie same spirit. Mr. Adains promptly withdrew his name as a candidate but Mr. Farr^l, as we are informed is going to "stick."
