letter from gentleman who has the bpr
means of obtaining correct information, 10 his
friend in Baltimore, received by the Wesem

RICHMOND, Ky. July LIST, 1928.
DEAR SIR:-Believing that you in common
with aImost every ciizrn of The United State,
feel considerable interest in the result Of the G.
lcctions in Kentucky, more particularly who
will be elected Governor, as it is the opinion Of
all parties that Kentucky will decide the Pres,
den,ial contest at our August cleo lions; hay.
determined to crafty your inclination by Sta.
ting 10 you what believe 10 be the facts, deriy.
ed from the most careful examination of III.
accounts from different sections Of the State
IN Daniels District both parties claim
the majority, but it is confidently believed
from the great personal strengthen Gen ei,
--r,-.L.i~ha-. .;ii --...:-. jsr,,y OF SEQ
vole.-in Metcaf's District the majority will
be at least 1000 votes; Clark's District io0O
votes certain; Nc Hatton's District doubtful,bu,
we do not fear the result, and If the Jackson.
mans succeed, which we do not believe, il will
not be more than $50 or 200 votes, their major.
ily last year was 300 votes, since which tim.
we have gained acknowledgements Dis.
trlct, we conGden,ialy affirm will give US 4,
small majority. the contest in that District will
he very close and nimated-Letcher's District
in which reside and Of course know wba, is
the feeling Of the people, as live in the largest
county in the district, this district will not
give the Administration less Than $500 vote,
majority, and would not be surprised if il
would be 4oOo in Moore's Distric, they vii
kn,I a
Counties will give US considerable majoritI,s,
while Mercer and Washington will give the
Jacksonians or 400 majoriiy-in Buckners /,
District there viii be sharp conIest-he beat q
the Jackson candidate last year 400 votes, tb. e
gain has been great think and We may conf
denly expect majority of from tn 600 &
votes-in Yancy's District where W. only LOO; (,
he el c,ion last year by SO votes and from The :.
animation Of our friends there, we think We
Rave gained or AGO vo,es-in Lyons ID Isrrt,
our ma jori,y will be small, il we succeed At all,
but tor fear we may De mistaken, we yield and
give Maj. Barry, the Jackson candidate lof
Governor, majority of 2 or 500 votes Wch
lifts District, although he was elected last year
by a large majority, which was increased BY
local and personal considerations; This activity
in getting appropriations by Congress for he
purpose OF removing distractions in the Oho
and Mississippi rivers, and his personal popu'
larity, when his opponent was not much known E
we therefore calculate that the contest will be =.
close intelligent men from those parts think &,
we will get small majority Gibbons Dls 81
trict will give US ma jority of 500.
Major Barry has lately returned TO Le1ts
ton, from a tour on the south side OF Green II

friends unles they gave him stronger vote u
the middle and east pats oil the state han Wh
or had been calcula,ed upon, he would lose hi Is

a rye ma jority; the Jackson men appear ds''
ponding while our men are active:
