WANTS HUNTER.
The Cincinnati Lancet Clinic
Wants him for U. s.
Senator.

The Cincinnati Lancet Clinic, a
medical journal published in the Pork
opolis OF Ohio, devoted a page in its
editorial columns to boosting the
somewhat notorious Doctor God
frey's Cordial Hunter for United
States Senator
"The late election was a lopsided
affair in politics, which has developed
some unusual conditions. One OF
these almost unlocked for circumstaD-
ces was the election of Mr.. Bradley and
a Republican Legislature. The latter
body will elect United States Sena-
tor, and The candidate who seems to be
in the lead for this proposition in none
other Than very reputable PHYSICIAN
named Hunter. DR.. Hunter was
chairman of the Republican State
Campaign Committee, aud proved
himself to be master--in fact. Ma
jor- General--in politics of command
ing abilities.
There are other candidates hard on
the heels of DR., Hunter. The physi-
clans of the State of Kentucky should
rally as one man to hissupport.
Physicians must come to the front
in political affairs, and stay right
there Or. Hunter has some warm
personal friends in the Democratic
party. These gentlemen can aid him
very much, and it is their duty to do
so at this time. There are Republi-
can doctors in Kentucky by the score
every one of these gentlemen should
make it a personal point to Individual
ly see members of the Legislature in
his behalf. This may mean some little
inconvenience or trouble, but it must
be done. The opportunity is at hand
to secure the election of United
States Senator, which must not be
neglected nor lost.
The medical profession of Ken
lucky is a grand hody of cultured gem
tlemen. There are few like them.
Their chances in the innings were
never better than to-day, but active
work, individual solicitation and per-
sonal pressure win do the business.
DIR. Matthews, President of the State
Board of Health; Mccormick, Nc
Murtry, Todd, Price, Dixon, Tinguely,
Grant, and whole host of men too
numerous to mention should take it
upon themsely es to see that DR.. Hun
ter is ELECTED to the United States
Senate.
There may be those who understand
the art of political hustle better than
the Kentucky doctors, but the writer
don't know their habitat That the
Kentucky physicians will see to the
election of DIR. Hunter there is no
reason for doubt. The only trouble
will be in confidence that he will get
there without the need of assistance,
which may or may not be true. Dr.
Hunter is a member of the medical
profession, and his professional stand
ing is ola high order. For this reason
it should be regarded as professional
duty to walk right up TO his support,
and say to Representatives-elect: Or.
Hunter will reflect credit upon the
Republican party; he will bring adj
ditional political honors to the Com
monwealth. He has shown his polite
al generalship in the successful cam
paign just closed Honor yourselves
and us by honoring him"
The whole gist OF the above article
is TO be found in the concluding SEN
tence of the above article: "Dr, Hun
ter is a Republican and has shown
himself a successful campaigner there
fore, he should be elevated to place
and power. Democratic physicians
are called upon to help do this. The
article is an insult to the Intelligence
of every Democratic reader of the
Lancet-Clinic and is so regarded by
the gentlemen who called our aCten-
ton to the article. The veneer under
which the writer attempts to hide his
partisan bias is too thin to deceive
even child. The editor of the Lancet
Clinic, it is to be hoped, knows more
about matters strictly pertaining TO
medicine and Surgery" than it does
about Kentucky politics.
