PLENTY OF TIME
FOR NOMINATION
Paducah Republicans Seem to
be in No Hurry
All Are Watching Progress of Demo-
cratic Disorganization in
This City.
STATE CONVENTION is NEXT

Probably not until after the state
Republican convention June 10. will
the city convention be held. At least,
this seems to accord with the senti-
ment of the party generally in Padu-
leah.
While Kentucky Democrats are
sore over the throw down given 10
Blackburn and Senator McCreary in
turn, and Paducah Democrats are
split. dissatisfied with the result of
the primary campaign. there never
before was manifested so much har-
mony of spirit in the Republican
ranks, not only in this city. but in
the state. 1t is this feeling that
prompts the local party to wait until
after the state ticket is made up to
make the selection of city candidates.
In the meantime everybody is
studying the situation There seems
to be no one settled upon but Colonel
John Dorian for city treasurer The
gan, and the ticket will be probably
strongest men to win with is the slo-
the best ever presented for the con-
sideration of the voters of Paducah.
While the Republicans are watch
ing developments there seems to be
no end to the Democratic scrap.

says a child should be years old on
