THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR.


1t is not too early for the Republi-
cans TO be considering a candidate for
governor to oppose State Auditor Ha-
ger. The selection OF a candidate
next year is a matter tf more than
ordinary concern to the party and to
the people of Kentucky this time
Democracy will enter the contest ex-
hausted from bitter factional fight.
The primary struggle was one for ex-
istence. The administration won,
and now those. who can not make
terms of peace, are nonentities unless
they can defeat the administration al
the election. The normal Democratic
majority in Kentucky may easily be
overcome under such circumstances
provided the Republican party pre-
sents solid front. To do this and
carry the entire party vote, a candi-
date for governor must be named
who will meet with the approval OF
all the leaders and the rank and file
of the party Good men there are a.
plenty, but the most of them bear
the scars of other battles, and have
earned the envy of their co-workers
No doubt the convention will be able
to choose from several availables
but just now we are certain of but

for circuit judge. Furthermore
Judge Breathitt has not been an Of

Relief for Rheumatism.

These damp days are hard on peo-
pie afflicted with rheumatism, and
relief is sought in all sorts of rene
dies.
There Is no doubt in the minds OF
people who have suffered with the
dread disease and those who have
studied It closely that probably more
relief can be secured from the Osteo-
pathic treatment than any other.
OF course, some chronic cases
won't yield to any treatment. but in
stances of cases of seven and eight
years standing yielding to three
months treatments can be cited. II

You will never be president of the
United States. So why not drop that

snowy, self-advertising good. but
genuine, moral. lasting good? Why
not do one act of beneficence with nc
advertising tag attached? You are
to die some time. In the twenty
years which perhaps remain why not
use your wealth, ability, and news
papers to influence this land toward
charitableness and honor? Do not
call Judge Parker a cockroach. Tel
him kindly what you do not like. Dc
not say Mckinley is a despised and
a hated poltroon, Roosevelt loose
tongued demaeogue, tax-dodger, and
servant of the devil. Cleveland a

men credit. sometimes, besides your
self, for ordinary human virtue. Try
to see to IL that the trunks of muir.
