"As time moves on apace the

we're mentioned in connection
with the matter. Of late we had
heard it said that Mr.. Wickliffe,
after looking over the ground,
had decided not to enter the race.
Now this is contradicted by the
fact that Mr.. Wickliffe has an
nounced his candidacy in his
home-paper, the True Democrat,
so there can no longer be any
doubt on that point. He is now
a bona fide candidate and has to
be reckoned with. He is a popu-
