Practically Clear Field for
Clerk of the House.
RACES IN OTHER POSITIONS

Frankfort. Ky, Nov 10.-The
large majority that the Democrats
will have In the house and senate
may make some change In the plans
OF the candidates who are making
the race for the Offices OF the house
and senate. There have been a num-
her OF candidates working actively
for several months for the various
positions In the legislature, but none
Of them calculated on a majority in
the house and senate that turned up
after the election. II IL practically
conceded that William Cromwell. OF
this city, will not have opposition as
clerk OF the senate and that Jesse
Alverson, OF Stanford, Is leader in
the race for assistant clerk Of the
senate. His senator. Tuck Hubble.
Is the real hero OF the last election.
FOR he carried the district, which is
normally Republican, by a good ma
jority and will likely get whatever
he asks In the way OF officials. Miss
Annie Nourse, a niece of Judge J. p.
Hobson. will be candidate for en-
rolling clerk and, as she filed the
filled the position successfully last
term. win be a formidable candidate.
II is understood. too. that Miss Jen-
ME Mcdonald. OF this city. will also
be candidate. and she has many
friends who will aid her in her con-
test. senator Sam Peters. OF Bards-
town. seems 10 have The lead in the
race for doorkeeper OF the senate.
Jim Stone as Clerk.
In the house. Clerk Jim Stone. who
mas been clerk 80 long that the mem
DRY of man runneth not TO the con
trary will undoubtedly be a clerk
at the next session and will undoubt-
cdly win without opposition. Mr.
Stone has one qualification In which
he exceAs any man who has ever
been a candidate for that once. II is
hts splendid voice, for he can be
heard as distinctly In one part of the
hall as in the other There Is a woods
full OF candidates for the position of
assistant clerk, but Marion f. Pogue
vii not he a candidate for that po-
sition this time. He was elected
representative and will help elect the
ASSISTANT clerk instead of running for
that position. Miss Amy Lyons. who
was the enrolling clerk Of the last
session. Is a candidate at this time
and claims TO have her race won.
Her father was an old Confederate
soldier. who died in Office here a
year ago with two or three years
longer TO serve. She has been an ac-
tive candidate for some time. The
leader IN the race for doorkeeper of
the house is W. II. "Windy Bill"
Thompson. OF Spencer county, who
was the picturesque member of the
last session
Other Candidates.
The candidates for sergeant-at-
arms, pages. cloak-room keepers and
other officials have not made their
or at least their an
nounccments have not reached this
city, but there will be plenty of can
dIdatcs for these Offices. as every
youth that has political ambition de-
sires to begin his service in Ken
tucky's magnificent new capitol.
Senator Thomas A. Combs. of Lex
ington. will likely be the Democratic
chairman of the senate caucus and
senator Conn Lynn will probably re-
tain his position as chairman of the
steering committee. The candidates
for speaker of the house are numer-
Gus and each week from now on un-
I'll the legislature convenes there will
be additional entries in the race, but
George Wilson, OF Sturgis; Harry
Schobert. OF Versailles; w. II. Shanks
OF stanford. and william Klair of
Lexington. have been In the race
longer than any of the other candi-
dates. and for this reason they have
the edge on the Others in the race.
