date of the two conventions held
in Jamestown when two candi-
dates were nominated for the
State Senate T. Neat, of
Adair county, and Lilburn Phelps,
of Russell county. A majority
of the committeeman in the dis
trict met in this place last
Thursday afternoon to decide
which one of the gentlemen was
entitled to the nomination, his
name to go under the log cabin.
All the proceedings held in the
primary meetings and in the
Convention held at jamestown
in which L. T. Neat was nomi-
mated, were read by w. A. Cof-
fey. A motion then prevailed
that the committee, composed of
w. A. Coffey, Adair; w. A. Dick
en-. Clinton, and C. H. Carter, Of
Cumberland, no other committee
man being present, go into eX-
ecutive session. In a few min
utes a report was read, declaring
Hon. L. T. Neat, Of Adair, the
Republican nominee for the
State Senate from the 10th Sem
atorial district, his name to go
under the log cabin. Hon. Lii
burn Phelps was in Columbia,
but he did not attend the meet
ing of the committee, claiming
that he had not received a noti-
fication of the Committee being
called together. The reader I'M
derstands that Mr.. Phelps and
his friends withdrew from the
jamestown convention regularly
called, and that he was nomi-
mated in a second convention, the
claim being that Russell's candi-

trict, subject to the action of his
party. He speaks in unmistak-
able language that heis for a road
tax and it judiciously applied.
While a stranger to us, out of
our county and a Republican be-
sides, yet his progressive and
aggressive position is exactly to
our notion and ought to meet the
hearty endorsement of the poe
pie of his county. The most
vital question t h at confronts
the Southern tier of Kentucky
counties is the road question. If
this section ever liberates it's
people from the terrible bad
roads it will forge to the front
in leaps and bounds. If it con-
tinues to dodge a road tax and
keep its fearful highways it can
never hope to reach a high de-
gree of development. 1t would
be a pleasure to us to know that
not only Mr.. Carnes, but an en-
tire court of his county would be
made of his mind and determi-
nation on this important ques-
ton, and the same necessity for
such men is this county exists.

The fact that political parties
are the organized channels
through which our officials are
selected and that no party can
absolutely controle the people
and mark their rule of action,
in the selection of men for posi-
tons of honor and trust, are be-
coming more apparent every
year to the great bulk of our
citizens. lis further fact that
the adherents of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties are
fast gaining in independence OF
thought and actions and that the
day is approaching when intelli-
gent men will cease to rally
round their party banner when
the party leaders are not in &C
cord with upright political liv-
ing Every man Unidentified with
a political organization must feel
a pride in it's worthy achiev-
ments, and if conscientious, must
feel Inundated when degrading
methods are employed or when
incompetent or unworthy men,
bers of the party are placed in
responsible and honorable posi-
tons. That the great bulk of
the intelligent people desire COM
petent men and clean politics can
hardly be doubted, but too often
party zeal and second-handed
ambition override judgment and
conscience and the bad as well
as the good, the incompetent as
truly as the qualified, receive
the same loyal party support and
are placed in positions of great
Importance to the general public.
We hold that honor and honesty,
sobriety and unquestioned ca
pacity are prerequisites for every
official from Magistrate to Gov
ernor and that there is no excuse
to justify the election of a man
of bad morals, or a political cor
ruptionist. Party tickets ar
often dead-weighted through
party primaries and conventions
brought about by methods des-
tructive of honor and fairness,
and when such happens is not
only bad for the party but for
the entire section involved.
Every thing is fair in politics"
will not and can not be accepted
by those who truly desire the adj
vancement of their country or the
standing of their party. The
love Of country ought to prompt
every man in securing the best
officials possible. Every on e
ought to stand for fair deal
and where disreputable methods
are employed should be severely
rebuked at the polls. An incom-
petent in a political position is no
better than the one in a private
business and dishonesty In poll
tics is no less a grievous sin than
swindling in business.
