FOR POLICE JUDGE
n. HAzELIP ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY
Well Known Young Republican
Would Like 20 Make Race
Against Dave Cross.

The Sun is today making formal
OF the candidacy OF
Mr. Thomas n. Hazelip for the once
of police judge of this city and. as Il
is at the urgent request OF many
staunch friends that Mr. fIazellp en-
tiers the race for the nomination. Il Il
expected that he will make a very
spirited campaign.
Mr.. Hazelip came to Paducah only
Eve years ago. being at that time en-.
gagged In the international revenue
service. but In that time he has
bound to himself many friends And
though he has never before been a
candidate for any ONCE within the
gift OF the people. his active and en-.
thusiastic work for the Republican
party has brought him considerable
prominence In the councils OF the
party.
II was at Bowling Ggeen. that Mr.
HazelIp was reared and educated. be-

ocratic nomination for governor will
strike a responsive chord throughout
western Kentucky. Mr.. Wheeler IS
courageous. brave and manly, and
would fit the governors chair like a
glove"
The owensboro Messenger (Urey
woodson) says:
There is no discount upon Mr.
Wheeler's ability. He is brilliant in
debate, often even more eloquent
and forceful in his arguments than
Bryan or Bailey. He has superb
courage. and, with accommodating
years greater conservatism and wis
dom than characterized his more
youthful. days in public life. Should
he be drafted by the Democratic
party Of Kentucky as its leader two
years hence, he would make an ag-
gressive and winning fight, merci-
lessly exposing the weaknesses of
the present Republican administra-
ton; but there are others who can
much more easily be induced to ac-
cept the party's toga than Mr.,
Wheeler"
The Carlisle County News says:
'In speaking Of the possible candi-
dates for governor the Paducah
lNews-Democrat rises to remark:
Another gentleman who is com
ing in for quite a bunch OF compli-
mentary expression from the state
at large is Hon. Chas. X. Wheeler
That's the dope to give 'em. BY
all means let's have a candidate for
governor from Paducah, because
Paducah never gets nothin' no how.
Wonder If some timber couldn't be
found at Paducah that would make
United States senator, or president
Of the United States?"
The Clinton Gazette says:
"The Padueah Democrat is
trying to start a boom for Chas. X.
wheeler for governor No matter
how clean a man Mr.. Wheeler may
be. the support OF the News Democrat
will cause Democrats who want a
candidate free from the sinister in
huenee to look upon his candidacy
with suspicion. .
