Editor Glenn, that staunch Demo-

The Graphic, will support Morris
Belknap for governor for the reason
that Beokham's advisors are so bad
that he believes it the best for the state
to have change by kicking them
out. In his editorial announcement
his position he says: "As between
she two contending candidates for the
governorship of Kentucky, we prefer
Colonel Morris Belknap for that posi-
tion and expect at the November cleo.

announcing the fact that we intend to
support Colonel Belknap. we have no
apologies to offer to any living man.
In this we exercise the right Of an
American citizen.

"In our advocacy of the election OF
