PROPOSED A FOOT RACE
FOR SENATE NOMINATION
Governor Reckham Was Joking, but
Senator Mccreary Took Him UP
Match Wasn't Run.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 27.-Of all solu-
lions for the settlement of the demo-
cratic senatorial race, the most sensa-
tional and remarkable was the PROPOSE
ton made to Senator McCreary by
Governor Beckham. The Two We're i'm
the judges stand at the Jockey club
track, waiting for a Tace to be called.
The two men who are now seeking the
votes of the democrats of the state for
the high office of United States senator
were the guests of the state fair, and
had been invited to act as judges dur
ing the races. During the lull, when
there was some sort of a hitch, Gov
ernor Beckham turned to Senate Nc
Creary and said:
Senator. let's go down there on the
track now and settle this contest with
q foot race, the winner to be the nomi-
nee for the senate"
General John B. Castlenan, who was
with them, i~nterposed quickly:
If 1T is to be done, let US know about
1T and we will guarantee to furnish the
proper sized crowd to witness the race.
Suppose we have it on Saturday. We
will nave the crowd all right
Il am willing to leave it to that kind
of an ISSUE" replied Senator McCreary.
Il would suggest that the race be at
one mile, though, as that would be g
fairer test of our running Qualities
All this was said as seriously as
though the two distinguished Ken
tuckians actually meant what they
said. one OF two who overheard the
conversation actually believing for a
time that the governor and senator
We're speaking seriously n actually
would go on the track and run their
race with their feet instead of with
their heads and tongues.
The boundless possibilities of the
race as Il drawing card for the state
fair awakened in the minds of the Of
icers something of what it could be
made. and they began to see visions OF
Il hundred thousand men and womer
lighting to Il their way to get inside
the grounds ana see the great race for
so great a stake.

above statement, apropos of the Cuban

Admiral Dewey a followed the de-
Eelopnlents in the cuban situation with
the closest attention. Probably better
equipped than other man to pass judg-
ment upon the course pursued by this
country, he has given his unqualified
Endorsement to the course the presi-
dent has taken.
But. While the admiral did NOT allow
himself TO go so far, it was evident he
believed That the only satisfactory solu-
ton of n Cuban tangle is the anneNa-
ton of the sland. Admiral Dewey feels
that, b., its withdrawal from Cuba. the
United States redeemed the pledg. it
gave to the Cuban people and to the
world, ut the outbreak OF the war with
spain. and that it must consider the
question from q new standpoint.

shown himself to be, he does not lose
