One of his peculiarities was that he
would not associate with memL ers Of his

"Rube" Miller Says He VIII Knock the
PerslmmOn

Col. Reuben N. Miller, Of Hardinsburg,
was in the city Saturday.
Considering the fact that "Rube" is u
candidate for a state office and that he
has achieved the sum total of human
greatness by having his picture printed
in two or three papers, he is remarkably
healthy looking and he attributes this to
good conscience, a good appetite and a
speaking acquaintance with Kentucky
water.
Speaking of his candidacy he said
"Since it has became known that am
n candidate for the republican nomina-
ton to the State Attorney Generalship
| have met with great Encouragement.
"Men prominent in the party have
written me pledging their support and
assuring me Of their desire to See me get
the honor.
Eastern and Western Kentucky party
leaders have been especially kind to me
in the matter and look forward to an
easy victory in the State convention"
