GOVERNOR BECKHAM.


Order that no other Governor o.
Kentucky has heretofore done, and
every Iaw-abiding citizen, every
church member and every good
woman who loves the welfare of
their Old Kentucky Home should
seek an opportunity to give him a
hearty welcome. One thing that
has always weakened the side OF
morality and the churches with
public officials is that they do not
rally to the support of officials who
take up their cause, while on the
other hand the opposition will
rally almost as a unit to defeat any
candidate who takes a position
against them. If the Christian
people Of this country would wake
up to a realization OF this fact and
would give our public officials to
understand that if they stand for
law and order, morality and chris
tianity in their public life that
they as unit are with them and
will support them on election day
but if they do not stand for these
grand principles that they as a
unit will stand against them and
will not support them on election
day. If this play was adopted by
the Christian people of our country
it would only be short time un-
Til we. could have pure and God
like men in all public places and it
would be an incentive to our young
men to live right and to be better
men, but so long as some church
members walk to the poles on
election day and vote with the OPP
position to defeat good and pure
Christian men, just so long will the
agents of sin be abroad in the and +.
Governor Beckham has responded
to the appeal of the ministry and
the law-abiding citizens of the
greatest city in our State and has
given them his aid and support In
putting on the lid in that city,
knowing when he did it that he
would array powerful influence,
with money to burn. against him
in his race for the United States
Senate, but he did it because he
felt that it was right and he did it
Without fear of punishmsnt or
hope of reward, and II IL now up to
the good people Of this country to
say whether or not they indorse
his course. If they endorse law
and order they should stand by
him in this fight. The law abid-
ing citisens of our State and cOun-
" should not forget the splendid
achievement of our Governor in
redeeming the fair name of our
State and restoring law and order
where chaos and revolution reign
ed at the time of his accession to
office. They should not forget the
remarkable and material develop
ment OF the State since he assumed
charge and the era of peace that
has reigned during his admins.

down upon united and happy
people, but we should not forget
that there are battles being waged
today that do not scar the forehead
but they are battles in which every
true man should show himself to
be warrior, worthy the compan-

these battles right living and right
thinking should be our weapons
