Kentucky Democrats are Of opin-
ion that the State ticket that has
been nominated is one of the
strongest that the Democrats have
ever put in the field in the State.

public life for about 40 years. His
record is we'll known to the voters
OF the State. He Is a level-headed.

habit of thinking several times be-
fore he leaps He has filed all the
Offices to which he has been elected

Mr.. McDermott has been reeog-
nized for years as an accomplished
lawyer and orator. He is a man OF
the highest character and integrity
and one of unusual ability.
James GaTnett, the Democratic
nominee for Attorney-GeneraI.is not
only one OF the most popular men in
the State. but one Of the ablest law
yers. He is young. aggressive and
attractive.
Mr.. Bosworth demonstrated his
ability as a vote-getter In the pri-
mary. Most of the politicians re-
garded Mr.. Laffoon's nomination for
Auditor as a foregone conclusion,
but it appears that Mr.. Bosworth
stepped in and seized the persim-
mon.
DIR. c. F. Crecelius has seen con-
siderable service in the Legislature
and had no opposition for the nom
nation for Secretary of State.
Thomas S. Rhea. Democratic

tent factor in Democratic State pol

for the Clerk Of the Court OF APP
peals, was a deputy in that Office for
a long number OF years, and for the

thoroughly efficient men ever con-
nected with the Appellate Court
Clerks Office.
Prof. Barksdale Hamlet, nomi-
nee for Superintendent OF Public In

qualified educator, who is thorough
ly acquainted with the needs Of the
schools, and is a man who has the
energy and the brains to accom-
plish something worth while for the
betterment OF Kentucky's school sys-
tenn. He not only knows why Ken
lucky has not advanced in an edu-
cational way, but he knows how to
correct the evils.
]. W. Newman. the nominee for
Commissioner of Agriculture, is
generally conceded to be the right
man in the right spot. He was for
IA number of years Secretary of the
Kentucky State Fair Association,
which is a State institution. He is
a practical agriculturist and is in
thorough sympathy with the farm
Ing interests OF the State.
All in all, the Democrats feel
that the ticket they have nominated
is we'll balanced from top to bot
tom, and that they should not have
the slightest trouble winning in No
vember. The chances are that the
candidates will take n rest during
the hot summer months. but from
the declarations which they have
made, they intend to make an ex-
ceedingly vigorous campaign and
will set a hot pace from the start
