The Fights for Congress.

The congressional races are attracting
considerably more attention than ever be-
fore. In the first Representative Whcclsr
is opposed by Ben C. Keys a populist of
prominence, who IS the nominee Of the
fusionists or republicans Brown democrats
and populists. But 1t is safe to bet on
Wheeler being sent back to Congress by a
good ma jority.
In the second the fusionists have noni-
mated VIM. Lynch a popular Brown demo-
cratic leader He will run good race,
but Representative Aliens friends claim
his majority will be safe one.
In the third Representative Rhea has
hard fight before him. He is opposed by
Mckenzie Moss, the nominee of the repub-
lcans and Brown democrats. Moss is a
former democratic leader an able lawyer
and one of the best speakers in the state.
He made a state reputation as a speaker In
ten-mnute address at the Brown demo-
cratic rally last Friday night. 1t looks
like he stands the best show of being
elected, as the district gave the republicans
a majority of nearly 1000 last year That
district is the stronghold of the Brown
democrats, whose strength is a dangerous
menace to Rhea.
The democrats expect to elect Congress
man Smith over the republican candidate
State Senator Jolly, in the fourth, by a
small majority.
In the fifth or Louisville district, there
is hard fight between Col. Irwin, repub-
lican, and Judge Gregory, democrat. The
republicans and democrats both claim they
will win, but Irwin stands the best show and
will doubtless be elected.
In the sixth there Is much dissatisfaction
over the nomination of Linn Gooch, Mr.
| Goebel's bosom friend, over Congressman
| Berry, ex-Mayor Rhinock Of Covngton and
| Judge Westover of Williamstown. The re-
publicans and Brown democrats will nomi-
| nate strong man and expect to put up
| good fight in the district. The normal DEM
| oeratic majority of the sixth is about 1000.
In the seventh there Is another demo-
| cratic family quarrel that has badly dis
| rupted the party. The manner In which
| South Trimbie received the democratic NOM
! ination caused his opponent. who was in
reality nominated by the majority conven-
| ton of his party, to go 10 the courts. W.
! b. Moody, who was nominated by the reg
| ular convention. has asked the court TO de-
| eide the contest of the two claimants, and
/ the lower court decided in favor of Trimble
The republicans will nominate their strong
1 est man. but the democrats say Trimble
| will be elected with ease.
In the eighth the republicans hope to
| elect John Mason Williams over Congress
| man Gilbert. The district is very close and
| may not go 100 either way.
| The republicans claiming the ninth by
| at least 1000 for Pugh over Judge White,
| democrat.
In the eleventh Congressman Boreing, re-
publican. win be reelected.
