She gently declined the water. There

Hon. John X. Hendrick, of Padu-

mentioned as possible candidate

Mr.. Hcndrick stated that he
thought the State Central and State
Executive Committees would be
called to meet about May 20. 81
look for the two committees to be
called, said he, shortly after the
decision OF the Supreme Court in the
gubernatorial contest case is hand
ed down. There is only one thing
for that court to do under the law,
and there is ample precedent for
such action-I mean dismiss the APP
peal. If it should not be dismissed
the Republican party would have
to shoulder an additional burden.
do mot believe the Supreme Court
will undertake to abolish our form
OF State government. The people
of Kentucky could abolish the office
of Governor, if necessary, and have
a commission. If they can do this
they surely have the right to say
how contest may be conducted.
