election by the people of this section.
They contend that he has by his
presence in the middle west and his
spectacular trip down the river plae-
ed himself at the head of the deep

Murray, Ky, Oct. 5.-Oratory such
as was heard here yesterday after
noon in the speech of Augustus f.
Wilson, Republican candidate for
governor, has not been heard from
any other speaker in this campaign.
Nor have any candidates. expressed
such high political ideals, and the
voters must have felt that he would
make good his declaration of purpose,
"to bring back the grand old state to
the glory it bore in the days of our
grandfathers, when the name Ken
tuckian was synonymous with chival-
ry, honor, faith and manhood"
II was a good crowd that heard Mr..
Willson-the weather prevented a
larger demonstration-but no politi-

speech with a simple, informal, heart

ton, until his magnificent appeal for
unfettered manhood in voting, wheth-
er that independence dictated voting
for the Republican or Democratic
party, the crowd listened, not with
uproarous cutbursts Of applause, but
with quiet realization that here was a
man, whose ideals qualified him to be
entrusted with the state government
with some hope of an administration
that would reflect glory and not
shame on the commonwealth.
Reports of political meetings some
times are misleading. The blatant
but superficial enthusiasm that char
acterizes an Ollie James speech

appearance OF reality, but when Mr..
Wilson's audience applauded yester-
day, 1t was TO applaud sentiments of
manhood, liberty, equality, fraterni-
ty, Christianity. And it is evident that
the impression made by the speaker
will be as deep as the sentiments to
which he appeals; so that more act

like Mr.. Wilson's than of the other
kind, however. much the reporters

Paducahans had the chance and
they took it in a fiattering degree to
