toned, and there is no very great
dissention because of that selection.
We believe that it would have been

Hon. Avis s. Bennett, Secretary of

tee, is being favorably mentioned by
Republicans in all parts of the State
for some position on the Republican
ticket to be nominated at the COM
ing State Convention Mr.. Bennett
is a native OF Ohio County and is
one of the most popular young men
with members of all parties who has
ever grown mp in the county. He
has served with great distinction in
the House of Representatives and in
the State Senate and probably knows
more individual members of the par
ty in Kentucky, than any other man,
unless it is Senator Bradley. Mr.. Ben
nett has been Secretary of the State
Central Committee for a number OF
years and during all that time has
studiously avoided taking any part
in any of the party contests or be-
tween individual members of the
party for appointive offices. He is
also averse to committing himself
or making any effort to secure
State nomination, because of his pres
emit position with the committee How
ever, because of the valuable assist
ance which he would be TO the State
ticket with his thorough knowledge
of politics and POLITICAL conditions in
every nook and corner of the state,
it is thought probable that his friend
will take the matter up and push his
claims for some one of the places to
be named at Louisville on July 11th.l
Should his name be placed before
the convention, as it doubtless will
be, this part of the State will support
him without dissenting voice. The
Fourth District should have a place
on the ticket and We know of no
better man than Senator Bennett from
every standpoint
