IT May BECKHAM|
United States Senatorship Likely
to Swing to Kentucky's
Young Governor
BY CLEVER POLITICAL COUP
Remarkable Sacrifice Offered by Lieut..
Gov. Thorne to Not
End.

Louisville. KY. Jan. 1.-One of the
cles of this state was sprung yester-
day when Lieut. Gov: Thorne came
out with public card, voluntarily Of
fering to resign his office as lieutenant
governor if Gov. Beckham decides to
become candidate for the United
States senate. This leaves Beckham
free to enter the fight for the senator
ship, and it now looks as though he
might be successful in winning the
coveted seat at Washington. A year
ago Gov. Beckham. instead of Paynter,
would have been the candidate for the
senate, but for the fact that his elec-
ton would have thrown Thorne into
the gubernatorial chair Thorne is ex-
tremely unpopular with the people be-
cause of recent public acts and the leg
islators, rather than put him in the
governors chair, would deny Beckham
the qualification of his ambition.

sign came as a big surprise.

New York, Jan. I'm one of the
tel one night recently Miss Martha
Craig told an audience of 80 women
and a few men that death was a mis-
take. That after a while when we ali
get educated up to the point at which
she has arrived by scientific research
it will be an easy matter to do away
with death altogether. In the first
place, she said, death usually brought
sorrow TO the relatives of the person
who died. That was one reason why
it should be wiped out Instead OF
dying, folks ought just to evaporate in
to space.
"We are all full of vibrations" she
|continued. "The entire world, the uni
verse. is made up of these vibrations,
and when we can by constant study
attain the thought that will control
these vibrations. then we will be able
to dissolve ourselves, at will. and there
will be no such thing as death. Ev-
