sible position he has given a great
deal of his time in looking after the
county's business for which he re-
ceives no compensation whatever, but
he dies the work cheerfully, and has
been the means of saving the county
a great deal Of money in looking af-
ter things personally. A. j. Annis
the member from Ethan, came back
from his trip to Washington in time
to begin the work with the board.
Mr.. Annis was called there by the

BARkSDALE HAMLET
EDUCATOR CANDIDATE FOR SU-
PERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.
Democratic Party Will Demand as Its
Candidate a Man Who Is Prac-
ticaI and Experienced
Educator.

The first law of a democracy is
the equalization of opportunity,
which means the equitable distribu-
ton Of intelligence. through all ade-
quate provision Of educational equip
ment.
There can appear no virtue in the
cry of a Square Deal" so long as
there exists a monopoly of intelli-
gence, in a state where society is
composed of individuals equally en-
dowed by nature, yet to the great
masses Of whom all the light Of hu-
man achievement and the s@cial her
itage of truth are lenir'l.
Through a permanently organized
campaign for educational improve
ment, readjusted ideals must be con-
verted into practical realities. Thus
will the latent energies of society be
set free and opportunity will indeed
knock at the door Of every home in
Kentucky.
His Platform.
I stand specifically for: A school
free and accessible to every child in
every rural district in Kentucky.

The improvement, sanitation and

accordance with the best modern

Minimum seven months terms in
every district.
A rational and effective compul-
sorry attendance.
Practical course of study: agricul-
tural and the domestic and mechan-
ical arts and sciences.
Good roads and consolidation
where practical.
Teachers of scholarship, character
and personality.
County high schools, accessibly To-
Gated in every county.
Improved facilities for the county
superintendent Office.
Liberal enlargement and mainte-
nance of our normal schools and
state university as component parts
of our public school system.
REIMBURSEMENT of our system of
finance to effect larger results on a
more economic basis.
Personal leadership in the field on
the part of the state superintend-
ent.
Success Comes Only at End of Effort.

Making a Fine Race.

He is a man of infinite ability and
capacity and stands upon a platform
that neither trims nor tergivcrsateS ::
that begs no question nor eyadcs al
single issue. Mr.. Hamlet, a man OF
individuality and ability, an educator
and orator, is conceded to be the
logical man for the place and is en-.
dOrsed by leading educators and the
press. Prof. Hamlet is out for the
Democratic nomination and is max
ing u vigorous canvass; he stands
for progression and has the unquali-
fled endorsement Of his home people.
He has the credentials of a sturdy
Democrat and bears the highest
qualifications of an ideal superin-
tcndent.
Eminently qualified for the posi-
ton sought, We believe him to be
'-the man" for superintendent of our
state schools.
Prof. Hamlet Is a strong friend
to the cause of advanced education
and believes in square deal from
the smallest district to the most pro-
gressive city in the country. He is
a friend to the common schools of
the state, is . clean, sound and
energetic teacher who has all the
elements of success in his makeup
and is man in every way capable of
making an officer of whom the whole
state would be justly proud.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Hamlet will
have no opposition before the DEM
ocratic primary, for he is 50 thor
oughly Democratic and clean in his
views, so well equipped from all
angles, that antagOnism would be al
most uniustifiable.
Mr.. Hamlet has given a good ac-
count of himself, and his work at
Hopkinsville is a monument to his
ability as a school worker and or
ganizer. He has made more than
good there and can make good at the
head of Kentucky's school affairs. If
you want to know what Barksdale
Hamlet stands for, just follow care

mulgated by himself Henderson
Journal.)
In the Lead.
Barksdale Hamlet, of Hopkins
vile, continues in the lead for the
Democratic nomination for Superin-
tendent of Schools. His superior
qualifications for the office give him
a decided advantage over both his
opponents, who are not active school
men. The people of the State are
awakening to the fact that to elect
a lawyer to the agricultural depart
ment or a farmer to the superinten-
dency of schools would be sheer folly,
and they are lining up in this Sec
ton at least for Mr.. Hamlet mainly
because he is an eminent, active edu-
Gator and has made a success in his
chosen line of work.-The Somerset
Journal.

wrapped in this, the greatest work
to be done in Kentucky. Though yet
young, he is undoubtedly the best
equipped man for this office the
state has ever produced"
Determination ard Success in His Face

an ambition to accomplish something
