President-elect Wilson has already
expressed his intention of taking am
pie time about the selection of his
cabinet. he will study political and
geographical conditions and will endea-
vor to choose the men most peculiarly
fitted for the positions to which they
are chosen in his political household.
In the matter of the selection of his
cabinet, he will doubtless be material
ly assisted, and probably to some ex-
tent guided by Hon. w. ]. Bryan,
to whom more than to any other one
man is due the selection of Mr.. Wilson
as the democratic nominee, and whose
advice upon any subject would assured
ly be most valuable.
In the selection of his political house.
hold it appears to US that would he ac-
cept it, Mr.. Wilson could not do wiser
than to place the very best portfolio in
his cabinet at the disposal of the gen.
tleman from Nebraska. should he do
this, he would certainly have the as
surance that the portfolio in particular
was in good hands. Another reason
for offering a cabinet place to Mr..
Bryan is that it is customary to give
these places to those upon whose
shoulders have fallen the brunt of the
battle, who have done most to for
ward the success of the campaign; and
surely there is none who has lent more
material aid than he. We believe that
Gov. Wilson will prove an ideal presi-
dent, that he will be president of ALL
the people, and will not only give us a
wise and prosperous government, but
that he will take up and solve in a
wise and acceptable manner many
knotty problems which now confront
US. Of one thing We feel fully conf
dent, THERE WILL BE NO PANIC,
the less of this idle talk INDUCED in
the better for all concerned. Panics
have been brought on by talk, and in
the present instance, the very idea is
preposterous. Let the people pursue
the even tenor of their way, safe in
the assurance that with Woodrow Will
son at the helm, we are just about
entering an era of unprecedented pros
perity.I
The people of the United States have
signifed by the ballot their determine
ton to be rid of republican rule, and
they have given voice to their wishes
in no uncertain manner, have rolled up
a majority that speaks in eloquent
terms of their desired. They have ad-
ministered to the G. o. P; such drub-
bling as they have never received and
relegated them to the rear, it is to be
hoped for all time to come. They have
also administered a singing rebuke to
the audacious young bull moose and
shown to the so called progressives,
that their idea of progressiveness is
embodyied in the sound principles of
democracy have deserted the necessity
for new party, have chosen between
the two old ones, and have spoken with

A Sterling Democrat And Good Citizen.

Among the number whom rumor has
it will be applicants for the Lancaster
postoffice under the Democratic regime
is Judge M. D. Hughes, and being a
former newspaper man. We deem it
but fitting that we should make some
mention of his peculiar fitness for the
position to which he is said to aspire.
Judge Hughes was born and reared
in the adjoining county of Lincoln but
married Miss Martha Elkin, one of
Garrard's best women and for 81 years
has been a resident and one of the best
and most progressive citizens of Lam
caster, and during the entire time has
been more or less prominently identified
with the political life of the county, in
whatever walk of life he might be en-
gagged never failing to use his time and
influence in behalf of the democratic
cause.
For ten years during his stay in
Garrard he was prominently identified
with the educational interests, being
one of the leading teachers, and many
of Lancaster's now prominent business
men owe their early training to Judge
Hughes. He has served as Magistrate
and Judge of the Police Court, from
whence comes his judicial title. For
seven years he edited a democratic
newspaper and was the originator of
the motto pure Religion, Untarnished
Democracy and Good Government" +,
which ever adorned his front page, and
which we still carry proudly at our
masthead. He is one of the many
democrats of this county who was an
''original Wilson man., and he gave
unstintingly of his time and talent to
further the cause of our new president.
both in the matter of his nomination
and the final election, and to him as
much as to any other one man is due
the credit for Wilson carrying this
county in the convention, and was
placed upon the delegation instructed
to vote for HIM in the state conve n
ton.
When a vacancy occurs in the Lam
caster postoffice, should Judge Hughes
become an applicant, and should he
succeed in landing the office, we feel
sure he will fulfill the duties as effici-
emily and in as acceptable manner as he
has the many other duties toward the
people of the town and county in the
various responsible positions he has
held during his long and honorable ca
reer among US.

Attorney Justus Goebel of Covington,
brother of our martyred Governor, in
a letter found in another part of this
issue of the Record, assumes the
position that in the matter of prosecuting
the tax lodging corporations of the
state, that Attorney General Garrett
should employ additional counsel.
We believe that Mr.. Goebel is honest
in his convictions in the matter, and
that he has the best interests of the
state at heart. At the same time we
know that the people of Kentucky
elected Hon. James Garrett to the office
of Attorney General, and by their
ballot expressed their confidence in his
faithfully and efficiently fulfilling the
duties of that office, and we are willing
to accept without question his statement
that the force at his disposal is amply
able to cope with the situation. When
he fails in his efforts will be ample time
to accept and put into practice the
suggestions made by Mr.. Goebel
AS for the status of Gov. McCreary
in the matter, he has stated in a clear
and succinct manner that he can take
no steps toward employing additional
counsel until requested to do so in wri-
ting by the Attorney General, and until
that is done, We shall accept it as true
that everything possible is being done
that could be done by Mr.. Garrett to
collect every dollar coming to the state
from every source in taxes.
In the event of the failure of Mr..
Garrett to perform faithfully this or
any other duty which the office to which
he was elected makes it incumbent up
on him to perform, he will be ''respon-
sible for his failures to the people who
elected him, and to them must he must
anSWere.

Taft,a Efforts For Peace.

Honesty of intention. stability of
purpose and a firm faith in the prin-
ciples of the party of Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley are some of the charac-
teristics Of President Taft. Familiar
with the horrors of war, as well as
the enormous expense that it always
entails, independent of the vast ex-
p%enditures required to keep a great
nation upon a constant war footing.
the president has persistently sought
to promote a worldwide peace of na-
tions by international agreement. Any
failure of accomplishment in further
ing this worthy cause cannot be charg-
ed to the president.

Deserves Another Term.

Representative j. Hampton Moore,
who is well known in many different
sections of the country on account of
his active interest in waterway i'm
provements, in discussing the admins
tration of President Taft has this to
say:
President Taft ought to be renom-
mated and elected because he stands
for stability. He should be nominated
because it has been generally conceded
by Republicans since the first day he
entered the office that the same treat
ment would be accorded him with re-
spect to a second term that is usually
accorded TO Republican presidents who
have done well. There is no good
party eXcuse for not nominating him.
He should be elected because, while
not a political president in the sense
that he has played politics to the salts
faction of all elements of his party, he
has in fact been a broad gauge presi-
dent, conservative in all matters af-
fecting the dignity of the office and the
obligations assumed by him to sustain
and uphold the constitution and the
laws of this country"
