why NOT A PRIMARY
To Nominate q Candidate For
Circuit Court Clerk.

EDITOR PREss:-Please allow
me a small space in your valuable
columns in the interest OF justice
and fair play.
From recent conversations with
quite a number of Republican
voters of this county l am con.
vinced that should our county
committee order a primary for the
nomination Of a candidate for the
circuit cIerkship that it would
meet with the approval of a ma
jority Of the Republican voters OF
the county.
The old method of nominating
by conventions has become dis
tasteful to large element OF the
party, who would hail a primary
with unfeigned satisfaction.
The convention system of nom.
nations, although usually fair and
honest as far as they go, ia many
instances fail to represent the true
wishes of a majority Of the party
voters, and almost invariably leave
behind them sting OF jealous
suspicion aud disappointed heart
burn which does the party no
good. Obviously a primary would
do away with all this.
AT primary election each can
didate must stand in the bright
blaze of public scrutiny, and must
rise or fall on his own merits.
l believe IT will be to the best
interests Of the party for the CON.
ni.tee to give this suggestion
deliberate consideration.

HUBERT vREElkND.

As its thousands of readers know
the Farmers Home Journal does
not often express its preferences
or advise its friends and patrons
in contests for political Offices. but
there are times when we deem il
to be in our special province 10
speak a plain word where the in-
terests of the farming GLASSES Of
Kentucky are specially concerned,
and in this connection we desire
to express our heartiest endorse
ment of the candidacy OF Mr..
Hubert Vreeland, of Jefferson
county, for the Democratic nom.
ination for Commissioner of Agri-
culture, Labor aud Statistics.
The State Primary will be held on
May 9th in every county ir Ken
lucky, and every Democrat will
doubtless feel il his duty to go to
the polls and there express his
preferences in the various contests
for State Offices. AS for the other
State Offices, the Farmers Home
Journal has no preferences to ex.
press, believing that it should haze
an eye only to that which is Of
direct concern to the farming
classes. Mr.. Vreeland was for.
merry representative OF the Far.
ners Home Journal, and for the
past three years has been the as
Instant Commissioner OF Agricul-
ure, receiving the appointment
rom Commissioner l. b. Nall on
Iccount of his special fitness for
he duties. His service as assis-
ant has fanliliarized him with all |
he duties Of the office, and in fact |
las given him a knowledge of the
conduct of it's affairs that a new
nan could not acquire until after
year or two of his term had ex-
tired. Mr.. Vreeland has all his
ife been a steadfast Democrat,
ways supporting actively the re.
ular nominees of his party. He
as already received the indorse-
lent of thousands of the most re-
resentative farmers in Kentucky
nd it affords US a real pleasure to
% able to recommend to our read
RS and friends such an eminently
ualified and estimable candidate
8 Mr.. Vreeland. We speak for
i'm because we know HIN. We
peak for him because We know
he requirements of the office
'hich he seeks.-Farmers Home

The pastors of the various chur-

JUDICIAL DISTRICT
The Judicial campaign is being

mary skirmishes are now going on.
c. B Staples was here Wednesday,
and yesterday a representative OF
H. j. Kotz appeared on the scene.
Standing without the present con
fiict on the little round top of view
it would seem that the fair way fol
Pike democrats is to keep aloof
Whether they prefer one or th'
other candidates so far in the rae,
should not be declared until Monroe
county has expressed her choice
Then Pike should be free to act a.
TO her may seem best. It is saio
there is fear that possibly some
Monroe county man other than Mr.
Staples or Mr.. Kotz might come NJ
here and register and by receiving
only one vote would control the
conferees. The democrats of this
county are too honorable to permit
any such trick to give even a tenn.
porary advantage. The high offict
of judge should be attained by only
the fairest methods and any attempt
to gain the nomination by othel
than the most honorable means
should and no doubt would receiv,
merited rebuke.
