McGlone, Ky.
The time is near at hand for the
Democrats of the Ninth Congress
ional District OF Kentucky to sell
ect standard bearer for Democ-
racy's colors in November. A num-
Der OF men-men OF wide influence
and high regulations are spoken
OF as probable candidates for the
nomination.
Aside from personal feelings a
very important duty confronts ey-
cry loyal Democrat OF this district
at this particular time and that is
the duty OF considering thoroughly
the question as to who can carry
this doubtful district to victory on
election day.
Among those spoken Of "a candi-
dates. interest seems to center on
Carter county's choice, w. j. Fields,
There are many reasons why we
who are acquainted with the situR-
ton. believe Mr.. Fields to be the
most available leader for his party
In the coming election.
First, he has always been q loyal
and active Democrat When the
fire OF the enemy was hottest he
was always found in the front ranks
enthusiastically defending the cause
of Democracy, which We, as Demo
Gratis believe to be the cause OF a
free people.
Second, he comes from the ranks
OF the Great Common People.
Born and reared under the hand OF
adversely. he is perfectly familiar
with the needs OF the masses, and
has the natural ability and moral
courage TO ably and fearfessiy rep
resent them In the halls OF Congress
His life has been civic one, and
his greatest ambition has been To
serve his country in the Science OF
Government I
Third. he comes before us with
a character unimpeaChable Honesty
and integrity have been his guides
from boyhood. His life is that OF
sober, progressive and loyal citi-
zen; erer ready to serve his fellow
men, and also an active worker in
the cause of Christianity. Domoc-
racy's colors will float from clean
hand, If placed IN the hands OF
William J. Fields.
Fourth, having been engaged in
business, in most OF the counties OF
the district, for the past ten years,
he Is personally acquainted with
more people than any other candi-
date who seeks the nomination,
This, within itself. is a very Inn
portant reason why his candidacy
should be earnestly considered by
every Democrat who wants to sec
his party win in November,
Mr.. Fields carries with him a
personality which appeals to the
people. Intelligent. jovial, and
splendid talker, he is always able
to interest the crowd. As an ora.
tor his ability is admirable. Possess.
ing as he does that power OF ex'
preston which appeals TO the reas-
Onlng faculties OF men, he can ably
and skillfully handle the question
that comes before him for public
discussion. Over that portion OF
the district where he is known
many Republicans stand pledged "a
his support II the Democrats give
him the nomination, This is due
to the fact that the fairness with
which he has opposed them In the
past, and the upright life he lives
before them, command their respect
and support.
So as Democrat who has care
fully studied the situation, and who
is personally acquainted with many
of the men who will appear as can
didates before our convention. thii
year. I appeal to every loyal Dem
ocrat to earnestly consider the can
didacy of w. J. Fields; believing
as do that he is by far the strong
est candidate now before US. and
will be strong enough in November
to trlumphantly lead US to victory
and redeem the Ninth Congressiona
District Of Kentucky from Republi
can hands. W. 3. WHIT
