WED. MAY. 3. 1911,

The Somerset Times, of last
week, contained the announce
ment of Mr.. Denny P. Smith,
of Trigg county, for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Attorney
General, with an editorial en-
dorsement made pointed and
strong, showing clearly that dis
lance lends enchantment to that
publication. In no sense would
the News give a single express
ion tending to do an injustice to
any worthy aspirant inside or out
side of its county, or district,
neither would it seek to advance
the interest of any man in its
own bailiwick, if convinced that
he would not add strength to the
party, and give capable service
to the State, but home pride, as
we see it, is commendable vir-
tue, and from that viewpoint il
would appear that the Times is
not overburdened with a desire
to aid the candidate of it's neigh
boring county of Adair. Truth
fully speaking. there is not
better qualified man offering for
the above position than Mr.. Gar
nett, of this county; in the en-
tire State there is not a truer
Democrat, and he has never, at
any time, failed to show pride in
the welfare of his party in this
district, as we'll as in the State at
large. 1t cuts but little figure.
however, whether a local paper
panders to the aspirations, or
fights against attempts of an out
side candidate to win support
over local man if the home
candidate is deserving in all the
essential points In this in
stance there is no question, and
regardless of the position The
Somerset Times takes, Democrat
ic voters in this district, will al
most be a solid body for the
Eleventh District man for attor-
ney General.
