Shanks Indicates He Will Not Seek District Congress

Hon. William H. Shanks of Stanford says he is leaning away from running for the Democratic nomination in the district. He cites duties at Lincoln County National Bank and the need for a thorough canvass as reasons not to enter. The race already has Judge Ralph Gilbert of Shelbyville as a declared candidate, with rumors of others like Col. Frank Ripy, Joe E. Robinson, Senator Jay Harlan, and lawyers Gordon Montgomery and Everett Hoover. Judge Shackelford is urged by friends to seek the governorship rather than the congressional seat.
