Ii the democrats of Ken

tire attention, for the time
being, toward the selec-
ton of a State ticket to be
voted for this fall, and see
to it that only the best and
most available men are NOM
mated for the various State
Offices, and that each and
everycandidate gets a square
deal before the committees
and in the primary, and then
when the nominations are
made concentrate their fire
upon the common enemy the
result would be such that
Kentucky would no Longer

"A. Howard Stamper's Platform.

I ga. lUWdIu oldlnpeI Al@liVihl'
L Hon A. Howard Stamper,
LOT Campton was in town
Monday and%hile here hand
fed us a copy of his platform
upon which he is making the
race for the democratic nom
nation for Representative
for the 91st Legislative dis
trict, which we publish in
full in this issue of the Cou-
rier. We have read the
platform carefully and find
many things therein to COM
mend it to the thoughtful,
intelligent voters of Morgan
and Wolfe. In fact there is
not a plank or declaration
contained therein but what
some beneficial legislation
could be enacted thereon.
We would call especial at
tention to the fourth and
fifth planks, viz: "Tax re-
vision" and good roads"
1t is our opinion that these
are the two most vital ques-
tiOns confronting the people
of Kentucky today and the
candidate who adopts a
platform pledging himself
if nominated and elected, to
vote and work for a revision
of the tax laws and for "a
better system of construct
ing and maintaining public
roads in Kentucky makes a
long stride toward securing
the nomination he seeks.
i Every aspirant for so i'm
.portant an office as repre-
sentative should speak out
in language that cannot be
misunderstood and tell the
people whom he represents
just what he stands for and
what he believes; what mea-
sures he will advocate and
what means he will use to
procure their their passage.
The time has come when
the people demand to know
of their candidates what
they may expect of them af-
Ter election and when a can
didate commits himself thro-I
ugh the medium of a writ

icies, and after his election,
