HAS HELM PROMISED
The CoIIectorship? Various Ru.
mors AfIoat. Can lie DeIiv.'
er the Goods?

Has Congressman Harvey Helm
promised the collectorship provided he
is reelected and Democrat is chosen
President in November? This is a
question which is going the rounds,
says the Danville Advocate. 1t is talk
ed that Mr.. Paul Goddard, of Harrods.
burg, will be the collector if Helms in
fiuence can land him the position. 1t is
also whispered around that one, two
and possibly three prominent Boyle
county Democrats have been promised
Congressman Helms influence in Sc
curing the job. If these reports are
true, is it unreasonable to suppose that
similar promises have been made in
Stanford. Richmond, Nicholasville,
Lawrenceburg and elsewhere. A reli-
able Danville man charges that Helm
promised to endorse him for a position
in the Democratic congress last Deem
Der year ago. By agreement with
Congressman Helm, the said Danville
man made trip to Washington only to
find Mr.. Helm seeking the help of 9TH
er Kentucky Congressman to land the
place for Nicholasville man. Helm
gave the Danville man whom he had
promised to support a cold deal after
making an appointment for him to
come to Washington. Therefore the
Danville man in question wishes to
warn those to whom the collectorship
has been promised to require Congress
man Helm to guarantee the promise by
having reliable bonding company
stand behind the obligation in order to
make it certain. However, there is
national law prohibiting any Congress
man from promising jobs, except secre-
taries, and the candidate who makes
such promises must forfeit his Office
after election. Each candidate along
with his campaign expenses at the gen.
eral election must make oath that he
has not promised positions of any kind
save exceptions above. So if it is true
that Congressman Helm has been at
tempting to trade the collectorship off,
the supposed benefciaries should study
the law which will show them that
these promises are worthless and so
known by Congressman Helm.

NARNING!-- DEMOCRATS.
Harvey Helm Objected to Taking
Casey and Adair Counties in
the Eighth Congressional
District.
Editor Adair County News:

Editor Adair County News:
lhave it upon reliable authority that
Congressman Harvey Helm strongly
opposed the addition of both Adair and
Casey counties to the Eighth Congress
sional district. Now that his opposi-
ton proved futile, we understand that
ne is attempting to deceive the voters
into the idea that he stood by them and
endeavored to have the law enacted.
1t is personally known to me and also
publicly known that Hon Jere Sullivan
went before the redistricting commit
tee and insisted that these counties be
added to the district. All Democrats
in these counties should take the trou-
bic to make thorough investigation
on this subject before casting their bal.
lots.
Respectfully

Editor Danville Advocate.
