The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-12-31

To the Democrats Of Kentucky:
/ am candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for Governor in the
State primary to be held on May O.,
1908, to nominate candidates for
ak the State offices which are to be
filed at the regular election in No
vember of next year. In making
this announcement it is gratifying
to me that have the privilege Of
presenting such claims as I may
make 20 this honor directly to the
people themselves and that they
are to have the opportunity Of de-
termining upon the merits of my
candidacy in their own precinct
voting places. am glad that the
Democratic voters of the State are
to have real voice in the selec-
tion Of their candidates for State
offices, and that their wishes are
not to be thwarted 6d violated by
the combinations and uncertainties
in State convention, where so
many candidates are to be chosen.
The interest and welfare of the
party should be first considered in
such matters, and no man is de-
serving Of party honors who,is not
willing to submit his claims to the
people themselves, but who hopes
to succeed by tie manipulation Of
political convention. have
never yet been afraid to go before
the people for an honest expression
fof their choice, and would never
be a candidate for any Office if I
was not willing to trust my cause
in their hands, and submit without
complaint to their decision. /
prefer the light of the noon day to
the darkness OF midnight, and al
so prefer the fairness of an honest
Democratic primary to the dark
lantern methods of the professional
wirepuller in convention.
DEFEEDs THE COMMITTEE.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee has seen Ct in its wis
dom to call a primary on next May
o, to select the party candidates
for State offices. That committee
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-12-31

has in its mem mbership some Of the
best men and some Of the most
sterling Democrats in the State
men who place their party's inter
est far above the interest of any
candidate or'set Of candidates, and
that committee, containing several
distinguished Judges, other hon
ored officials and citizens, stands
practically unanimous in it's in
dorsement ofUthe primary as being
the fairest and best means of nom.
mating these candidates. i have
been accused by some worthy gem
tlemen, who have found the Gov
ernor's Office fruitless field for
the husbandry and thrift of the
CRATER, and who have longed with
eager eyes and well-whetted knives
to get chance at me in conven-
tion, where they might in spirit of
offended patriotism and haunted
with the fearful ghost Of ineligi-
bility undertake to carve into
mince meat public official who
has been so unappreciatiye Of their
merits and so unresponsive to their
behests--I say have been accused
by these excellent gentlemen Of the
sin and crime of>having favored a
Stateprimary. must confess that
the charge is correct. 1 have been
earnestly ia favor of the primary
ever since it was first proposed,
and / am still in favor of it. 1
congratulate the State Committee
upon its action in calling one, and
/ believe that the people are unan-
imous in their approval of it.
BIO hLCOhDs
To you, therefore, Democratic
voters Of Kentucky, / present my
case, believing with all my heart
that whatever you may do will be
to the best interest of the party
and the State. II my record in
Office for nearly three years as
the successor of the lamented Will
lam Goebel, if my loyalty to the
principles of the Democratic party,
with an unwavering support of the
party's nominees since cast my
first vote, and my devotion to the
interests and welfare of our be-
loved Commonwealth meet with
your Endorsement. then l ask that
you give me the benefit of your
support, and promise if nomi-
mated to carry the honored banner
of Democracy to triumphant vic
tory in the general election.
/ have faithfully tried, to- the
best of my ability, to conduct the
high office with which you have
honored me in a manner that would
reflect credit upon my party and
do justice to the great State of
which we are all proud to be citi-
zens. / came into this Office dur
ing a critical and exciting period
in the history of the State. It has
been my hearts deepest care and
study since then to allay as far as
possible the angry passions of that

it might be in the power Of the
Chief Executive, a kinder and
more fraternal telling among our
people, believing as / do that our
political. differences should never
reach TIE stage Of personal enmi.
ties. l have never used the high
power of my office to wreak per-
sonal or political revenge.
TRIBUTE TO DEMOCRACY.
Whether have succeeded or not,
/ have tried by incessant toll and
devout endeavor to show the peo-
pie of Kentucky that the Demo-
cratic party is better equipped and
better disposed to give them an
honest and capable administration
OF their State affairs than any 9TH
er party.
1t has been held against me by
some unkind critics that many of
those who have politically opposed
me, have occasionally paid me
some tribute Of praise for official
conduct. l do not resent the crit
icism, for 1 have yet to learn that
it is snecessary for Democrat to
prove his devotion to his party by
making himself offensive to his
political opponents. l am Demo
crat above all things, because the
principles of my party teach me to
treat our Republican friends better
when we are in power than they
treat US when they are in power.
1 shall never try to gain Demo
cratic friend by prosecuting or mis-
treating a Republican opponent.
From i1s great founder, Thomas
Jefferson, our party inherits
breadth, liberality, justice and pa
triotism. The Democratic party
stands for these principles, and to
day the party in Kentucky is more
vigorous, more successful and
more hopeful than anywhere else
in the United States. 1t is the on
ly State which the Republicans
carried in 1896 and lost in 1900.
1t has stemmed the tide of Repub-
lican success in the nation, and it
Is constantly adding to its strength.
1t has taken Kentucky out of the
list of doubtful States, and served
notice upon the Republican party
that before that party can expect
any support from the great mass Of
intelligent and patriotic Kentuck-
ians it must first make ample apol-
ogy and show proper penitence for
the bIunders and crimes with which
it has blackened the fair name of
our proud Commonwealth.
THE STATE PRosPERING.
The State is prospering under
Democratic administration; husi-
ness is increasing, and a remarka-
BILE development is going on in all
industrial lines. Our people are

Engineering Skill.

On December Sth the Assouan
dam on the River Nile was opened
by representatives of the British
Government with appropriate GER
emonies. This great work empha-
sizes the permanency of the British
occupation, and is benefit to the
whole country. This immense pub
lie work is monument of British
engineering skill and progressive
policy. The dam, with its connec-
tions, has cost over $12O, 900, 900.
BY storing up the water it will give
security for crops and stability to
harvests. The dam is 100 feet
thick, and the valley above it will
be flooded for fifty miles.
