In asking your support for the |
important and responsible posi-

eer, who l am, what l am and
why / am asking your support In
the primary on the End day of
August this year.
| am a farmer OF Christian
county, living on and operating
a farm. Ny life, except few
years, has been spent on the farm.
NV association has largely been
among farmers and laboring peo-
pie. They have ever had my
sympathy and support in every
thing that was and is calculated
10 elevate or advance their in
terest, socially, morally, fnan-
cislly and religiously. -.
had the honor of represen-
ting this district in the Senate of
Kentucky during the sessions of
the legislature of 1898 and 1900.
Ny acts and votes are matter
of public record. 1 ask and conr'
athorough investigation of tina
I'd Cord. did my dest to ref1ec
the wishes of my constituents
all questions coming before those
legislative bodies and have the
satisfaction of knowing that not
al single vote or act has been crit
lSised by my constituents.
In making my canvas for that
Office in 1897, promised the coal
miners of the district, if elected,
to use my best efforts to get for
them law whereby they could
get their pay in lawful money
every thirty DAYS, Which law has
since been amended to what is
known as the two weeks pay bill.
The thirty-day pay bill was in
troduced by me and became a
law under my management. l
heartily supported the Chind
School Book bill, which gave the
patrons of the public schools
tcheaper school books and reliev-
cd them from. the extortlons of
the Book Trust. / am a strong
believer in public schools and
did what / could to advance that
interest in the state.
l believe that instead of CEN
Trailing our public schools in
larger towns and cities it would
be decidedly better to have the
money to which the rural dis
tricts are entitled, spent in, the
respective districts, close to the
homes of the people, and putting
both the parents and children to
as little inconvenience as posi-
BILE. By sending this money out
in the country to the mouth OF
the creek and the head of the
hollow, where the poor children
live, it will accomplish the pur-
pose for which it was desired
the education of children who
are too poor to get an education
otherwise.
l am in this race because il
was and is the wish of the demo-
cratic party of Christian county
expressed through their repre-.
sentative, the county committee
Under a system that was adopt
ed quite a number of years ago
it has been a custom to alternate

has never been varied from il
any case without the consent Of
the other county. Under the al
