State Senator Jolly occupies the same
seat in the Kentucky Senate that State
Senator Deboe did when the Crittenden
county man was chosen, by accident, to
wear the United States Senatorial toga
Mr.. Jolly says he will be in the seat
when Senator Lindsy's successor is
chosen and laughingly remarked that no
man could say where the freakish politi-
cal lightning would strike Certain 1t is,
II one may judge from the high esteem
in which the Irvington miller statesman
is held here not 80 great mistake would
be made in browning Mr.. Jolly's aspira-
ton with success, as was made in send
ing to the highest Office in the gift of his
home people, the almost unknown
Marion doctor. Senator jolly Of course
referred to the selection of Senator Lind
says successor in spirit Of levity, for no
Republican can afford to predict that
the Republicans will again have ma

majority of last year, which by the way,
is only the beginning of series of Dem

FRANKFoRr, KY, Jan. 10 The second
week OF the new General Assembly
opened more auspiciously than the first,
and with every condition and circum-
stance favoring a six-day whirlwind OF
new bills. pertinent debate, relevant
resolutions and public discussion OF time
ly topics. The adjournment OF the two
Houses over from Friday to to-day gave
those men who had rather be at home
on Sunday than any other day, an OPP
portunity for worshipping on their
native heaths. The event of overshadow-
ing importance in the capital city this
week is the caucus to nominate State
Librarian, which has been set for to-
morrow night. Then IL is that the tug
OF war. 'twixt friends will come, in a
rallying effort to elect one Of thirteen
women who are con.ending for the
