q very large crowd here today TO hear
Gov Beckham. ex-Congressman Nc
Creary and others at the formal opening
or the Democratic campaign In Kentucky
This was the banner Democratic dis
trict for Gov Goebel last November, and
q rousing reception was given Gov. Beck

bel and is now his successor. Mr.. Nc
Creary. who Is chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee and candidate
for United States senator was also well
received. Gov. Beckham said In part:
The conduct OF the Republican party
In their national administration may not
have been tainted with the grewsome
variety of crimes that OF the party
in Kentucky politics has. but. neverthe-
less. II has been such as to merit the
condemnation of the American people,
and the defeat of its candidates at the
polls They have trampled upon the con-
stitution. and have sought to override
the fundamental principles upon which
this government was established. They
have catered to the wealth and not to
the manhood Of the country"
After the speeches Of Gov. Beckham
and ex-Gov McCreary I'm the afternoon
there was a reception to the governor
who tonight reviewed one OF the largest
torchlight professions ever seen in this
part of the state. Over 1000 men we're In

and his increased vote over two years

Democratic majority.
There was no opposition TO the Demo-
cratic ticket for any once except the
