History tells us that this adorable
saint was a priest of Rome, who was
martyred by first being beaten with

reign of Emperor Claudius H. in the
city of Rome about the year 10.

hallowed by his name began early in
the third century, when he became
identified with this great festival and
elected its patron saint because he

Given Democratic NOmlna-
ton For Congress
CLEMENTS CARRIES HOME VOTE.

greensboro, Ky, Feb. 3.-The Hon
A. o. Stanley, whom the Democrats Of
the Second district have already sent
to Congress three times, was again
honored by his party Wednesday when
he overwhelmingly defeated G. c.
Givens, of jacksonville, and the Hon.
Levega Clements, of this city, for the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Mr. Stanley carried six of the eight
counties composing the district. His
opponents may console themselves,
however, that their own counties stood
by them with small majority over Mr.
Stanley.
Returns that are almost complete
show that out of the Is, 1853 votes cast,
Mr.. Stanley received l0,192. Givens
received 3,O97. and Clements 1897.
The tabulated vote by counties is as
follows:
Enthusiastically, 1923; Clements,
1881; Owens, 1872
McLean-Stanley, 1858; Clements,
40; Givens, IS.
Hancock-Stanley, Az; Clements,
1O1; Owens, 81.
Christian-Stanley, 1, 17s; Clements,
I2e; Owens, 345.
Henderson-Stanley, 1888; Clements,
238; Owens, SIS.
Union-Stanley, 1850; Clements,
24O; Givens, 167.
Webster-StanleY, l,465; Clements,
go; Givens, Ais.
Hopkins-Stanley, 1,l6S; Clements,
1903; Owens, 1856.
TotaI-Stanley, 1912; Clements,
1897; Givens, 3,07e
1t is claimed that neither Clements
nor Owens carried a precinct outside
of their own counties. Clements
carried Dayiess county by 35S majority
and Owens carried Hopkins county by
1888 majority. Stanley carried Daviess
county outside of the city Of Owens
boro by a majority of 1871.
The campaign for the nomination
was waged with bitterness for several
months. Mr. Stanley stood on his long
record in Congress and appealed to the
farmers, whom he had befriended in
their fight for better prices for tobacco,
and the business interests of the cities
tn stand by a faithful public servant.
