ernor Beckham announced his uncon-

an address last night at banquet
given in his honor by 800 citizens of

private life, devoting his energies to-
ward making livelihood for his fam
lily and fighting the battles of the
common people.

feated, he was game, and while he
felt that he had received all the hon

confer on him, he would never run
for Office again, he did not propose to
sit idly by and see the wealth or cor

been pooled for the purpose of defeat
ing him, and said that during the

would elect him United States sena-
tor. but he said then he felt that it
would be better to be defeated fight
ing the battle of the people than to
win his victory In dishonor

the people not to cease their fight to
pass the county unit bill, the prin-
ciple for which their party stood, and
urged that they take steps toward
Furnishing not the legislators who
voted against him. but the corporate
interests which had put up the money
His address is regarded as the key
note for the next Democratic cam
paign in Kentucky.
