TOUCHES THE HEARTS CHORD.
Governor Beckhsm OF Kentucky Makes
or Home Coming Week a TunefuI
Harp OF Sentiment.

Gov. J. c. w. Beckham has
issued Home Coming proclamation
to all absent sons and daughters of
Kentucky. 1t has been sent broad
cast over the United States and into
many foreign countries. The proc
lamation especially refers to Home
Coming Week in Louisville, June "a
II. Governor Beckham begins:
Gas the fond parent yearns for the
return of an absent child, so does
your mother Commonwealth rejoice
in the prospect of bringing you back,
even for visit, to the Old Ken
lucky Home"
He announces that the old dinner
horn that in the days of yore told
of the approaching meal has been
taken down from the wall, and that
there issues from It's sonorous and
hospitable mouth trumpet call
reaching the remotest corners of the
earth, and breathing into the ear of
every homesick Kentuckian the
musical and irresistible appeal that
he drop all else and forthwith begin
his pilgrimage back to his native
health. Governor Beckham says
that joyous welcome awaits the
Kentucky family; that feats and
festivals have been prepared TO
gladden. the hearts Of all the States
children; that peace and plenty
shall be theirs.
Concluding, Governor Beckham
states that by the authority of the
parent which Kentucky claims over
all her children, even unto the third
and fourth generation, he commands
each and every former Kentuckian,
"whether separated from us by
imaginary State lines or broad seas,
to come back home; if he be at the
plough, the forge, the counting
room, the business office, or in
whatever employment, let him for
the time cease. his work and return
home. Men, women and children
who possess the priceless heritage
of having drop of Kentucky blood
in their veins, must obey these COM
mands and fail not to b. with us
during this gala period"

Second district. The fight so far
seems to be between Mr.. Keim and

and both are strong men, Mr..
Sturgiss is older and has had more
money but Mr.. Keim is a better

and a hustler, not from way back

greatest stumbling block ia the way
Of Bro. Keim, is Senator Elkins

that both the Senator and Congress
