Mr.. SALMON WANTS TO RUN
County Committee Sets Forth
His Claims in a ReSOIu-
ton.

BE it resolved by the Democratic
County Committee. of Hopkins coun-
ty. in called meeting assembled;
First: That we congratulate the
Democratic party Of the Sixth Sens-
torial District. composed of the coun-
ties Of Hopkins and Christian. upon
the splendid nominations it has made
10 the past for the State Senate, and
prophecy a continuance Of same;
Second: That we congratulate
the Democracy of the State of Ken
lucky, for complying with one Of its
planks in its last platform, through
its representatives and senators in
the last General Assembly. by pass
log the statewide primary law. which
gives to each voter the right to
say who shall be the nominees for the
various Offices. and also giving to each
man, regardless of his financial ability
the privilege to run for any Office he
may desire;
Third: That we express our graf
ification for the good feeling that
has always existed between the two
counties of this Senatorial District
in selecting its nominees for State
Senator. and the county Of Hopkins
has had only two. and for the infor-
nation Of the Democracy of both
counties, we herewith submit a list
of the Democratic nominees for
State Senators of said district since
1891. and the years in which they
were nominated:
LIST. Christian county. L. R. Sal
mon. 1891.
End. Christian county, w. R..
Howell. 1898.
3rd. Christian county, Senator
Crenshaw. 1897.
4th. Hopkins county. Senator
Edwards. 1901.
5,b. Christian County, S e n at o r
Rives, 1905.
9th. Hopkins county. Senator
Salmon, 1909.
1t will be seen that of the last six
nominees fer State Senator in
this senatorial district. Christian
county has had four of them. and
Hopkins county only two. 1t seems
to us that in all fairness 20 the de
mocracy of Hopkins county that she
should have the nomination for State
Senator at this time, and if she
should be conceded this honor, then
she will have only three nominees
for State Senator out of seven since
1891.
Fourth: That we congratulate the
democracy of Hopkins and Christian
counties in nominating and electlng
that faithful. able. patriotic and un-
selfish Democrat, Hon. r. Nj. Sal
mon, TO the State Senate in 1909.
and we heartily endorse the able
and efficient record. which he made
as our Senator; and in view of the
fact that Hopkins county has only
had the Senator two times since
1891, we feel that it is but just and
right that Hopkins county should
have the State Senator at this time.
and in view of the splendid service
that Senator Salmon rendered his
dietrict and State of Kentucky, as
State Senator, we heartily endorse
him for denomination, and earnest
" ask the cooperation of the splen-
did democracy Of Christian county
TO join with US in re nominating this
faithful servant and re-electing him
to the State Senate
Fifth: That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the Chairman Of
the Democratic County Committee.
of Christian County. and that said
committee be invited 10 concur with
this committee in soliciting Senator
Salmon TO make the race for re-nom-
ination this time and thereby per-
petuate the happy relations existing
between the two counties and furth-
or equalizing the nomination for
State Senator in this and Christian
counties.
