JAMESTOWN.
Orcait Court and Announced
speakinss Brought a Large
Crowd to Town First
Day.
GARNET AND HURT ENLIvEN DEMOCRATS.

Monday the 10th inst, was the first
day of the Russell circuit court, and a
tremendous crowd put in an appear
ance, perhaps more people than any
other first day court for the past
quarter of century. They were there
from all corners of the county of Rus
sell and there were many representa-
tives from other counties. They COM
menced to arrive early in the forenoon
and by 10:30 the public square was
alive with humanity and everybody
working like bees. UP to the opening
of circuit court there had been but
little speaking Ia the present campaign
in Russell county, and many We're there
to hear the Issue discussed by represen-
tatives of the two great parties.
Hon. James Garrett, Democratic
candidate for Attorney General, was
the first speaker, beginning in the
forenoon. His speech was short.
speaking only about twenty minutes.
He did not go fully into the questions
that are dividing the Republicans and
Democrats, merely touched upon them,
and appealed to the people to support
him in his race on account of local con-
ditions. HIS speech was we'll received,
and there is not doubt but he will get
many votes in Russell county outside
his own party. He is well-known as a
lawyer and citizen to the people of
Russell, and many feel that it will be
an honor to the people of this part of
the State to have the Attorney Gener-
al from this immediate section, and
will vote for him as matter of friend
ship and of pride.
Mr.. Garrett was followed by Hon
RolIin Hurt, who made strong and
forceful address in advocacy of the en-.
tire Democratic State ticket. He took
up Judge O'Rear's record, showed his
Inconsistencies, referred to the apostle
of temperance and the County Unit
bill, and drew picture of the sainted
Judge in the meeting held at Paducah
on the Sunday afternoon when McCul-
loch, the great whisky distiller and
President of the Kentucky Distillers'
Association was selected as Chairman
of the Republican Campaign Finance
Committee for the First and Second
Congressional districts. Every point
made by Mr.. Hurt was strongly pre-
scented, and the speech evidently was
well received. Both Mr.. Garrett and
Mr.. Hurt were warmly congratulated
at the conclusion of their speeches.
In the afternoon Congressman Caleb
Powers spoke for ABOUT two hours in
the interest of the Republican ticket
He speaks very deliberately, but he is
not forceful He claimed that he was
in high hopes and believed that the Re-
publican ticket would win in November
Mr. Powers has a strong following in
Russell county and he was given close
attention
The Democrats of Russell county are
very enthusiastic, and several said to
the writer that in their opinion that
McCreary would carry the State by the
largest majority that any candidate has
received for Governor for many years.
