THE SITUATION IN CHRISTIAN

THE SITUATION IN CHRISTIAN
All four Of the candidates fol
/ Congress VIII make fight fci
Christian county, which takes its
position as debatable territory
along with Webster and Union
The campaign opens with Mr.
Brasher occupying the vantage po-
sihon. No county in the district
has occupied such friendly and in
innate relations with Christian dc
Hopkins. For a long time they
were together IN the judicial dis
trict and seldom failed to support
the same man. In senatorial mat
tiers they are still together and each
county has always deferred to the
wishes or the local interests of the
other. Hopkins elected Crenshaw IN
1897 and Christian elected Edwards
in 1901. No Christian county man
has ever appealed IN vain to Hop
kins and Christian has never failed
to show her appreciation. 1t is
hardly probable that Christian
county will fail to.support Brasher,
the leader o., his party in Hopkins,
this time. His present advantage
seems to rest on party eonsidera-
tions too weighty to be disregarded.
On the other hand, Senator Hick.
man S party services are so well
recognized that he had a following
here before he ever visited the
county. He has put local politi-
clans under strong personal obi
cations to him and be is in position
to make a forcible appeal for sub
stantial support.
Judge Taylor is making many
votes 10 Christian as his canvass
progresses. He comes so highly re-
commended for ability, conserva-
tlsm and party service that there
is a disposition to turn to him as
the best man to unite the party and /
bring to its support those who pre-
fer to vote for a successful business
man rather than one whose activity
has been principally in political
matters. He seems to be fortunate
so far in having avoided wrangles
on the stump, that generally do
more harm than good to both par
Elephants, as well as the party.
Mr.. Stanley is making an ag-
gressive fight for the county and
has enlisted strong and enthusi-
astic support in the city, and is ex-
tending his organization into the
country districts. He has a speak |
ing appointment at Pembroke and
will speak at other points in the
county.
The KENTUCKIAM will of course
have a preference in the contest
but it will accord fair treatment to
each of the candidates, giving all
OF them equal access to its columns.

Per sonaIlties will Net PAY.

Messrs. Stanley and Brasber
have gone to pulling each others
wool, and while they are about it
Judge Taylor will make a cinch of
the whole fleece. The canvass has
heretofore been conducted on a high
plane, and it is pity that it should
be spoiled now, when there yet re-
main two months of the canvass
Judge Taylor is not party to the
racket, nor does he enjoy it, though
he must know that it makes votes
for him.-Inquirer.

MR. hIcKMAN ANNOUNcEs.

Hon. Geo. w. Hickman authorizes
his formal announcement and has
begun an active canvass for the
nomination for congress. Though
he comes from a small county, he is
perhaps the best known of any man
Ia the contest, by reason OF his
prominence in State politics for the
last four years. AS a member OF
the House in 1900, he became one OF
the most prominent young Demo-
Gratis in the State and was promoted
to the Senate by the counties OF
Mclean and Daviess. In that
body during the last session he at
once assumed leadership and as
chairman of the joint caucus was
accorded the position of leader in
both houses. Some of the most
prominent party leaders in Chris
tan county are warmly for Mr..
Hickman in this race and his can
didacy will cut into the following Of
each of hi opponents in every
county in the district. He will
prove especially strong in the
counties composing his senatorial
district, in which he is very popu
lar. His home paper, the Calhoun
Star, says of him:
Senator George w. Hickman
has announced through the
columns of the daily papers this
week, his candidacy for congress
from the Second Congressional Dis
trict to succeed Hon. Henry D.
Allen.
Mr.. Hickman S record in the last
Legislature. being Chairman of the
Goebel-Taylor contest committee,
has put a jewel in his wreath of
donors, of which, not only are the
people of Mclean county proud,
1t every true Democrat of the
State of Kentucky.
The county of Mclean, of which
he is a citizen, has within her con
fines as loyal and true Democrats
I as ever carried the banner to VIC
tory. She has always taken pleas
ure in supporting the Congressional
nominees of her sister counties in
this district. and now. as Mclean
has never had that honor bestowed
upon her, we feel that it is no more
than that which is due US, to have
the representative this time. We
have gone out into the trenches a.
volunteers for the nominees Of other
couuties, now will you return It by
voting for Hickman?
No more competent, efficient and
loyal Democrat ever asked the suf-
frage of Democrats of the Second
/ Congressional District than George
{ W. Hickman.
Never since we have had the hon
or to claim Hickman one Of our citi-
zens, did the Democratic party
ever issue a call for volunteers in
heated campaign, but that he
buckled the gauntlet on and went
out on the political field and did all
he could for her success.
MIR. Hickman IS an able and as
tute lawyer, an orator, a statesman,
and above all, Democrat to the
manner born.
Should this district honor Nc
Lean county by electing him to this
high and exalted trust, we feel sure
that our district will have a repre-
sentative in Congress of whom we
will all feel justly proud, and our
interests will be looked after con-
stantly aud efficiently.
