LOUISVILLE, Ky, October 31.— Taking of depositions in an effort to learn the source of campaign circulars which the Democratic State campaign committee charged were distributed in Louisville with the knowledge of the Republican city administration will be resumed today in Circuit . Court. Ten persons whose depositions were faken Monday said they knew nothing of the circulars, which, it was charged, were designed to arouse hatred against Catholics, Jews and negroes. ‘The matter first came to a head when Mayor Harrison and Robert W. Lucas, collector of internal revenue, filed suit against United States Senator Barkley, chairman of the Democratic State cam- paign committee, and other Democratic leaders, to prevent them from dis- tributing photostatic copies of the cir- culars and charged that the Democrats were seeking to make it appear that Republican State leaders had circulated the original copies. In a counter suit the Democratic leaders charged that the original cir- culars had been distributed with full knowledge of the Louisville police, that they first had appeared at a local meet- ing of the Ku Klux Klan, and that they had included charges that Gov. Smith had been drunk while in Louis- ville. The Democratic leaders asserted that they were having copies made to show the voters of the city what the enemies of the Democratic candidate ‘were doing against him. e - Marriage Licenses.
