Captain Farley's Friends Would
Haze Him Run For Secretary of
State at Convention Next Year
He Has Made q Good Record
Is Treasurer and Friends
Thick He Should Receive
Further Recognition.

The friends of Captain Ed Farley
from all parts of the state, are urg.
ing him to stand for the Republican
nomination for secretary of state
next year, but advices to intimate
friends here are that he has not
yet determined just what he would
do.
Captain Farley has as state treas
urer, as is his wont, made a host of
friends. to add to the great many he
has always had, over the entire
state. He has made a fine record
during his incumbency of the Office,
at probably one of the most trying
times any state treasurer has had in
years. and his friends say he should
be rewarded.
Frankfort, and the state in gen.
eral, is ripe with political gossip jus,
now. and of course the all import.
ant topic Is, who will be the nomi.
nee for governor. IL is almost a
certainty that west Kentucky will
urge the selection OF Judge James
Breathitt, of Hopklnsville, and Judge
f. c. O'Rear's friends are keenly
alive to his interests. Announce
ments from Frankfort are that
while Governor Wilson did not
relish the way O'Rear handled the
night rider cases. he would support
his candidacy, should O'Rear be
nominated.
Governor Wilson has already an
nounced that he would resume his
law practice. at the expiration Of
his term, and do all he can to ad.
vance the interests of Kentucky. II
has been intimated that the presi.
dent would find place for him on
the supreme court, but the governor
modestly denies any such aspira
tions.
Auditor Frank James, the prophet!
say. will stand for auditor again
That is. unless he is nominated To-
governor. His friends have hope
OF a tie-up in the convention, anC
James being chosen as a compro
mise.
Thomas b. McGregor. of Marshal
county. will be candidate for at
torney general. He has made
good record and has received much
encouragement for his candidacy.
