most forceful speakers on the subject
of temperance in this country. He
was superintendent of the Kentucky
Anti-Sallon League for a number of
years, and so effective was his work
there that it attracted the attention of
the national organization, which led to
him being called into service.

More counties than ever before are
holding split" primaries this year.
The Log Cabin Democrat believes this
is a correct procedure and we think
the state organization did right in de-
clining to dictate that the county and
state primaries be held together. With
a total of about forty offices to be
voted upon and from one to ten candi-
dates for each, it is practically impos-
sible for the average man to cast an
intelligent vote when the two primar-
les are held together. When the coun-
ty primary is held separately the voter
has purely local and county issues be-
fore him and is able to make better
selection of men than would be posi-
BILE where so many are to be voted
upon, and the same principle, of
course, applies to the state primary.
