Senatorial Race.
Lexington Correspondent Gin


Though former. Congressman
Dave Smith is the only one of the
four gentlemen mentioned who
has formally announced his
candidacy for the Democratic
nomination to the senatorship,
the other three are quite gener-
ally denominated candidates, and
they will be regarded as such un-
til they make statements other
wise.
That former Governor Beck
ham at this writing commands
strongest support Of the people,
those people to whom the pol
jticians upon occasion are wont
to refer as 'the great common
people. " is a generally accepted
fact; but, as no one better IN
derstands than does he some
thing besides the votes of the
masses is necessary to put hin or
any other candidate in possession
Of the certificate that will war
rant his going down to the rail
road station and getting aboard
the train for Washington and a
in the. Senate. Perhaps it is a
desire to have a firmer grip on
that something than he had in
1908, when four Democratic
members of the Legislature de-
serted him and make it possible
Tor William O'Counell Bradley to
go to the Senate the following
year in his stead, that is retard-
ing his formal announcement.
The "Beckham press" as the
news papers friendly to interests
of the former Governor are famil-
iarly teamed is strong this week
IN the declaration that the Kent
lucky Democracy owes that the
senatorship to Beckham. They
are saying in stentorisn tones
and black type that he was the
.rightful owner of the seat which
Bradley is soon to vacate, it was
stolen from him by the rankest
sort of political burglary, and it
is up to the Democrats to make
what amends they can to the
man who was so grievously
wronged." Some OF those news
papers were doubtless inspired
&c their atterance b. that clever
political tactician, s-rategist and
organizer, General Percy Haly,
out whether that be the case or
not they are fast winning recruits
to the cause of Beckham. When
the anti Beckham fellows pop up
with the question Didn't Beck
ham steal the nomination from
McCreary in 1902 as argument
in Justification of the action of
the four Democrats who deserted
MIN in the succeeding session of
the Legislature, the Beckhamites
get back with the rejoinGer.
We'll, we've ri GIFTED that wrong
by putting McCreary into the
.governorship By majority of
over 10000 and now it is up to
you do the square thing for
Beckham,'' The state is APP
parently ringing with sentiment.
Governor McCreary, ever
cautious in word and act
seldom committal on any sub
feet until the popular sentiment
is seemingly set, is saying moth

atorship, but many of his move

Suggestions for Wedding Presents.

To the person with a large cir
Gle of friends the problem of a
wedding present often becomes
almost as acute, both for the
brains and the pocket book, as
the what-shall-I- give-for- Christ
mas puzzle, especially in such
popular mating times as these
autumn months.
Unfortunately, can't help the

Those who compiled lists OF good jobs
which Governor Sulzer will have at his
