74 YEAR-OLD PAPA OF 21 CASTS VOTE FOR CHANDLER

Greenup, Ky., Aug 6 -- Bunion Thacker, 74 year-old farmer whose
25-year-old second wife presented him with his 21st child today, was so
nervous at the polls that he had to ask the election clerk to mark his
ballot for "Joe Bates for congress and Happy Chandler for senator." Then
the clerk helped him name the new girl Helen Bale Thacker. Thacker thanked
the clerk and apologized because his wife couldn't vote today.
