GARRARD FOR
SULLIVAN
Temperance People of that
County Are not Satisfied
With Congressman
Helms Record.
Lancaster Record

The temperance people of this dis
trict are fiOcklng to the standard of
the Hon. Jere A. Sullivan, because
they recognize in him a man, who
does things. When he was a member
of the legislature, lie advocated and
voted FOR all temperance measures, in
Guiding the county unit bill. When
the Democratic leaders desired to Sc
lect a man to draft q platform, they
selected Judge Sullivan. On this
platform, written by him, the Demo
caotic party won the most signal vic
tory in its history in the State. The
most important plank, inserted in the
platform by Judge Sullivan, was the
county unit plank, which he has al
ways consistently fought for, as de-
mocratic measure.
The temperance cause needs an able
advocate in Congress at this time.
The most fruitful evasion of such laws
as will promote that cause, is the in
terState shipment of intoxicating IL
vuOrs into dry territory. Mr.. Sulli-
vans record shows that he advocates
any and all laws that will promote
temperance. Mr.. Helms attitude on
this question, as so many others, is
blank. Whether it is because of his
friendship or his inactivity, the wills
key people in this district are support
ing Helm. The temperance advocates
believe that these people have good
motive for so doing, therefore they
conclude that those who desire laws
for the promotion of temperance
should cast their vote for Judge Sui
Ivan in the race for Congress. Ad

A PUBLIC MAN
With a Clean Record In Congress.

Politics is the same the world over.
1t seems to be the order of the day
that to down the candidate in otfica
who desires denomination, the first
lesson to the public is to find some
fault in his record as a public servant,
whether the charges be false or true.
No man is perfect. especially in nation
al life, where every fellow has a
whack at him.
The News doubts if any Democrat
has ever represented the Eighth Con-
greSSional District at Washington
with more honor to his constituents
than has Hon. Harvey Helm, of Lin
coin. 1t is true there may be more
brilliant men than he is in the halls
of Congress, but where is there man
or a woman since he has been elected
to this office who has ever written to
him regarding any public interest, but
that their wants were given his i'm
mediate attention. A gentleman by
instinct, lie has no harshneSS for any
man, unless driven to it by unkind at
tackS from others. Can any repreSen-
tatiye get in thorough touch with all
the public questions at Washington
who has ouly served five years in con-
greSS? We know of no public man
who has improved his opportunities
more than has Congressman Helm.
An able DICTATOR and a close observer,
he stands abreast to-day with the pro-
greSsives of both parties as one of the
most substantial men in Congress.
Why was 1t that Gov. Jas B.Mc-
Creary made such a record for himself,
his state and nation while serving the
Eighth Congressional District at
Washington? 1t was because the
people realized that he was the right
kind Of material to represent them,
and by continually honoring him, that
he might develop his opportunities,
Gov. McCreary retired from Congress
with record that few men have
reached. Why not give the tall syca-
more from Lincoln county the same
opportunities. A good foundation is
there to build on, and the people can
make of it structure that will rfiect
credit OH Kentucky as in other days.

HOT ISSUE
Present Congressional
contest Should be BaS-
ed on Ability of the
candidates.
(Shelbyville Sentinel. J

The real issue in the present Con-
greSSional campaign is that Of ability
and brains. Mr.. Helm has been elect
ed for three terms in this. the Eighth
district, and the people in every coun-
ty have by this time made up their
minds as to his ability or lack of abili-
ty. 1t is in the hands of the voter to
say that he wants Mr.. Helm for the
fourth term. No man should be re-
turned after three terms of service
unless he has shown marked ability.
Has our Congressman given evidence
of such marked StateSmanlike quail
tiles as to warrant his seeking the
place the fourth time?
Judge J. A. Sullivan, of Richmond
is generally conceded to be a man of
highly trained mental qualities, and
even his bitterest enemies do not deny
it. This being the fact would it not
be we'll for the people of the district
to give him trial? He shows quail
ties that are capable of much develop
ment. He is strong character and
one that means much good for the
district. since he has the necessary
and essential qualities that are the
true basis and driving power TO that
end.
The district has tried Mr.. Helm and
given him the fullest play for what
ever talents he may have. The Sen
tinel confesses it is sorely disappoint-
ed in Mr.. Helm and earnestly desires a
change.
With the recommendations that
Judge Sullivan brings, this paper is
ready and willing and heartily espOus-
eS his candidacy. Ad

important Notice.

To the Citizens of Columbia, and sur
rounding Countrywide time has come
when the health of the country demands
that every thing should be made scrup-
lousy clean. The privies should be look
ed after, the tall weeds should be cut
and burned, the rain barrels should be
covered, all the tin cans should be haul
ed away. the manure in the stables
should be either screamed, or have coal
oil sprinkled over it, and, intact every
thing that can produce disease should
be at once removed. The town trus-
tees must look after the streets and
alleys, every citizen should look out for
his own premises, and in this way the
whole town will be cleaned.
If these things are not done within a
week, speacial notice will be given,
carrying with it the pains and penalties
that the law prescribes. can't see
why it is necessary to always call the
attention of the people to these things.
