Hon. Jere A. Sullivan, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this district, is man of large
business and political experience and
is thoroughly equipped to occupy the
responsible position which he seeks.
He was born near Richmond during
the Civil War. While the subject of
this sketch was very young his father
died leaving a widow and seven chill
dren in poverty. The mother inspired
the children early in life with desire
for a good education and all of them
responded and used every honorable
effort to secure the same. Judge
Sullivan was educated in the common
and private schools of Richmond until
he entered the Freshman class of
Central University from which institu-
ton he graduated with the highest
honors of his class. During vacation
he usually worked as a hand on the
adjoining farms in order to secure
funds with which to purchase books
and other necessaries. Shortly after
his graduation he served as deputy
county clerk and deputy circuit clerk
of Madison county and at the same
time read law under the late T. j.
Scott, who subsequently became cir
cult judge and was one of the ablest
lawyers and judges in the State.
Judge Sullivan completed his educa-
ton in the University of Virginia
where he studied law. After being
admitted to the bar, he formed a
partnership with Hon. H. B. Herd,
who shortly thereafter located in Fort
" orth, Texas, where he had made a
great success as lawyer and business
man.
In 1885 Judge Sullivan was nomi-
mated and elected county attorney of
Madison county without opposition
Again in 1890 he was reelected
without opposition from either party.
Toward the end of the last term, he
announced that he would not be can
didate for a third term on account of
the growth of his practice which re-
quired all his time. His record as
county attorney was progressive in
every particular. He helped in the
movement to extend turnpikes, build
bridges and improve the county along
all lines. Although often requested
to become candidate, Judge Sullivan
declined to make another race until
1907, when he became candidate for
representative of Madison county at
the solicitation of hundreds of his fell
low Democrats. He was again nomi-
mated and elected without opposition.
He went to the Legislature not to play
politics but to frame, introduce and
have enacted measures that would i'm
prove and advance the State. He in
troduced bill requiring the inspection
of State banks on similar basis with
national banks, but the measure failed
to pass until taken up by the last leg
islature. Although not member of
the 1912 legislature, he drew the bill
which was adopted. Under this law,
a depositor feels that the State bank
is as secure as a national bank. Judge
Sullivan after examining the School

Senator Bradley has been chosen to
make the speech seconding the nomi-

honor was conferred on the junior
senator from Kentucky in 1880 when
he seconded the nomination of Gen.
Grant and again when he was called
upon to second the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt, who he is now op-
posing for third term nomination.

YET THERE is SOME DOUBT.

At the same time we can't keep
from doubling about Congressman
Helm paying for his space in the In
terror Journal. His past record along
this line is not inspiring" if reports
are true. During the Democratic
campaign last fall against the common
enemy, Congressman Helm made the
smallest donation of any Democratic
congressman in the state of Kentucky,
although financially he is reputed to be
weather. than most of them. 1t is
stated on good authority that at cam
paign headquarters there was talk of
returning his contribution on account
of its meagerress, but at the sugges-
ton of clerk the paltry sum was used
in buying stamps. Judge Sullivan,
merely patriotic Democrat, not only
worked day in and day out for the
success of the party, but contributed
to the campaign fund more than four
times as much money as Congressman
Helm. Does this not bear out the
charge that Congressman Helm was a
weakened supporter of Governor Nc
Creary and really wished to see his de-
feat accomplished?

that when Judge Sullivan made the
charges they could be depended upon
as being true. The Advocate reiter-
ates that if Congressman Helm will
violate his sacred pledge made over
his own signature in the presence of
reliable witnesses, he will more quickly
violate any oral pledges which he
makes to the voters of the district.
WE CALLED HIS HAND.
The Advocate defed the Interior
Journal to name something which
Congressman Helm has actually ac-
conplished during his term of six years
in Washington. Editor Saufey answers
the question by saying that the Adj
vocate is trying to cause the voters to
think that Congressman Helm is a
'nonentity." We never said anything
about ''nonentity' and we wonder
how the word happened to come to
Editor Saufley's mild. 1t is trusted
that the thought of the 'Tall Syca-
more" does not bring to mind such
words. However, we knew that we
had asked question that could not be
answered. In order to get away from
the subject, the Interior Journal
charges the Advocate with having op-
posed Governor McCreary for the
Democratic nomination. We defy
Editor Saufiey to show wherein the
Advocate opposed Governor McCreary.
1t will be as hard for the Interior
Journal to show that the Advocate OPP
posed McCreary for the nomination as
it will be to show that Congressman
Helm has earned an amount equal to
his salary for the district the past six
years.
The Interior Journal is anxious to
know the inspiration for the articles
which have appeared in the Advocate.
In answer to this query we desire to
say that we have been actuated purely
by patriotic motives to see the Eighth
Congressional District represented by
man of ability and strength. 1t is
generally known to be true and gener-
ally conceded that this district COM
mands less respect in Washington than
any other in the State. We believe
that Judge Sullivan could put US on
the map. He accomplished more for
Madison county and the state of Ken
lucky as representative of that county
during one term of the legislature than
Congressman Helm has accomplished
for the whole district of ten counties
in six years. We defy Editor Saufiey
to show that the foregoing statement
is not true. The Advocate has abso-
lutely nothing to gain in this fight
save the redemption of the Eighth
Congressional district. The duty is
strictly patriotic one. We take il
for granted, judging by the tone OF
Editor Saufiey's article, that Congress-
man Helm is paying space rates fol
same. In this connection, we desire
to state that payment for space (save
his official announcement in the AID.
vocate would not be accepted from
Judge Sullivan on account of his past
labors for Democracy. His incessant
efforts to secure the election of the
whole Democratic sicket last fall, his
liberal contribution to the campaign
fund and his patriotic labors in draft
ing the party platform securing the
passage of bills carrying out the
pledges in that Democratic platform
are all the pay that we want or would
accept.
