SCHOOL CAMPAIGN
STARTS IN SUNDAY.
Seven-Day Tour Will Startle
People.
Every County and Town in the
State Will be Visited Dur
ing the Week.

Frankfort, KY, June 22.-Prepara-
tions have been completed for the
seven days whirlwind campaign to
be waged throughout the State begin
ming next Sunday. Superintendent of
Public instruction, ]. G. Crabbe, who
is directing the campaign, and his
entire department have been on the
hustle and jump for many days, and
they have seen most of their plans
perfected.
The hustling spirit of the depart
ment is infectious, and despite the
warm and sultry weather some of
the other departments in the State
House seem to to have taken on more
progressive strides in keeping with
the activities of the Educational De-
partment.
The educational campaign will open
on Sunday when every minister in
the State has been asked to talk
public education from his pulpit.
From then on during the remainder oi
the week there will be oratorical fire
works in every county and school dis
trict. Politics will cut no figure in
the many educational rallies and many
of the best speakers OF the two lead
ing political parties have volunteered
their services to the cause.
Gov. Wilson will hike it through
the mountain section of Eastern Ken
lucky, and probably will have re-
course to the saddle to make intinary.
The Executive has not visited this
interesting section of the State since
his campaign for Governor in 1907
Then there's Secretary OF State
Ben Bruner, known among his in
Inmates as "Bristone Ben" who will al
so speak.
Another speaker who invariably
catches the fancy of a crowd in AS
sistant Attorney General Tom B. Nc
Gregor. Mr.. McGregor makes a most
polished address and makes it enter
tanning too. He is one of the young
est of the present State officials,
and all Western Kentucky is delight
ed when he mounts the stump.
Senator Bradley Appellate, Judge e.
c. .O'Rear, Congressman John w
Langley and other we'll known speak
ers will be heard during next week.
