The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1903-04-29
Looks Like A Winner.
Henry Bosworth. of FaYstte County, Candidate
70. State Treasurer.


Fayette county, candidate for State
Treasurer. is the man who at the head
of his deputies, marched into the train
at Lexington, and in the face of death
and w. S. Tailor's assassins-sOldiers,
dragged out Caleb Powers and Capt.
Davis and landed them in Jail. Then
with rare magnanimity refused the re-
ward of 81 800 for their arrest offered by
the martyred Vim. Goebel's brothers
Henry BoswoTth the lion hearted,
iron nerved ex-sherifr of Favette cOun-
ty, is candidate for State Treasurer.
Mr.. BoswOrth is a time tried Dem
Ocrat, an Is karat Democrat. He was
an intimate friend of Kentucky's mar
tyred Governor, William Goebel, who
always selected him as a leader in times
which were full of trouble and clear
heads and firm hands were needed.
If devotion to Democratic principles,
if loyalty to Democratic leaders, if
courage TO perform duty, without re-
ward, at the risk of life, deserves sue
cess then truly ought Henry Bosworth
to receive the vote of every Democrat.
When the fair name Of our dear old
Commonwealth was assailed, when
anarchy was trampled under foot and
Republicanism was dominant through
military despotism and assassination,
no man showed greater love and sOlic-
itude for his State and his party than
did Henry Bosworth.
Read the pages of political history
of kentucky and no where will you
find more shining example of bravery
and manhood than the page which re-
cords the capture of Caleb Powers by
BOsworth.
Mr. BoswOrth is man of education
and high ideal, he goes before the peo-
pie of Kentucky with a record that
is 'clean as a star" and asks the DEM
ocrats to consider him upon his record
as flawless Democrat and true Ken
tuckian.
The above compliment to Mr.. Bos-
worth from one of the leading Demo
cratic papers of Kentucky is a true
appreciation OF Mr.. Bosworth as 4 man
patriot and Democrat.
Such notices from all over the State
makes assurance doubly sure that Hem
ry Bosworth the honest, incompatible
man who has always served his party
in darkest as we'll as brightest hours
will be the next State Treasurer.

Hon. John K. Hendrick Withdraws From The
Race For The Democratic 6ubernatoIial
Nomination.
Hon. John X. Hendrick in the fol-
lowing signed statement to the public
issued Monday formally announces
his withdrawal from the race for the
Democratic nomination for Governor:
II am no longer a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
After consulting with a large number
of my friends to-day in the city of
Louisville, and after long and mature
elaboration it was decided that could
not win, as the time allotted for a can
vas of the State was too short to meet
with even a reasonable per cent. of the
Democratic voters. Up to the present
L have been enabled to canvass less
than forty counties of the one hundred
and nineteen counties of the State, and
on the eve of the primary 1 realize
that it is impossible to confer with Or
present by candidacy to even one-third
{ OF the members of my party.
"On account of the friends who have
so generously supported me l regret
exceedingly by the necessity which inn
pels me to this step, but 1 do not de-
sire to compete in hopeless contest, or
/. do anything that will further embitter
the already strained Conditions OF the
Democracy Of the State. have been
devoted to the interest of my party
since L attained my majority and l am
willing now to sacrifice my personal
ambition for harmony in the party,
that 1 seriously believe stands as the
sole representative of the plain people
of our great country.
"To those who have so generously
profered me their support, desire to
return my most lgratefu acknowledge
ments, and beg to assure those who
have questioned my Democracy that
l stand ready now to follow my party's
flag to the last ditch.
(Signedl JOHN X. HENDRIcK."
