a program of some fifteen selections,
besides very graciously responding
to several encores, the insistence of

poem, his own composition, "The
Pipes OF Pam" with piano obligato.

reception, and received many assur-
ances of support in his race for the

Judge Reed will arrange his jul

in which to make up a list of speak

order that he may have all the time
necessary TO prepare for a campaign.
His first speaking date will be at

and he will stump the State, but will
not challenge McCreary to debate,

The entrance Of Judge VIM. Reed.
OF Paducah. into the contest for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor. makes a triangular race and
also infuses much interest in tho
campaign. The other two candi-
dates are Judge Adams and Senator
MeCreary. That Judge Reed will
POLL a majority Of the Democratic
vote in Western Kentucky, seems al
together probable. while Senator
McCreary will probably do a Ike
thing in the eastern end Of the
State. Judge Adams strength Is
problematical. but he announces
that he is in the race 20 stay. They
are all three good men and good
Democrats and either OF them would
make a most excellent Governor.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1911-03-29

Other qualifications being equal,
the majority Of the Democrats OF
Kentucky will quite likely vote for
the candidate for Governor who un-
reservedly commits himself as in ia
for OF a State Convention to enun-
ciate party principles. Under such
auspices, a man knows who and
what he Is voting for. Such a candi-
dacv spells something and means
something. II makes plain what
character OF government the candi-
date stands for, what he would put
in practice II elected. Every DEM
ocratic candidate should urge a
platform convention.
