he began his school days ard who
is now "on the jOb'' DIS Supcr'n-

these duties represented the two
Counties, Laurel and RCCkcaSti,
in the State Legislature. we are
trying to say, that he, worked
harmoniusly with Prof Caliee to
give the teachers the best interest
they have ever had. We believe
this is a consensus of the opinion
of the institute members.
In addition TO Prof. Caifee's

Wilson Endorses
BeCkham and Camden

President Woodrow Wilson con-
sidered the Maine election so i'm
portant in its relation to National
Politics that at his personal re-
quest Senator Ollie James madea
mum Her of speeches in that State.
Congressman Barkley of Ken.
lucky was also on the stump in
Maine and a number of other
powerful friends of the admins
tration lent their efforts to pro
noting the Democratic cause.
The success Of the Democratic
ticket in Maine was most crafty
ing 10 Pres dent Wilson, as it
was to De- . rats everywhere
There is an old saying, THAT
as Maine goes. so goes the
Union, and it is certain as any
thing can be in Politics, that as
Name has gone this year, so will
the whole Union 60 this year
overwhelmingly Democratic. J
President Wilson is as much
interested in the election of two
Democratic Senators in Kentucky
this ear as he was 10 the Maine
election. At the meeting of the
Democratic State Central and En-
ecutive Committees at Louisville
recently, a telegram was received
by Senator James from President
Wilson urging the election of
Beckham and Camden to the Sen
ate. 1t is absolutely Necessary
that the Democrats vote i'm the
Senate be strengthened and that
the work of the administration be
upheld. The loss of a Democrat
ic Senator at this time would be
disastrous to the Democrats
party, and realizing the gravity of
the national Situation the Presi-
dent is taking a personal interest
in the Kentucky Campaign this
fall.
He has said to his friends that
he would be glad to make speech
in Kentucky for the ticket, but on
account of the International COM
plications, he has decided not to
make any pnblic addresses at this
time. A little later, however, he
will issue several statements, set
ting forth the work done by the
Democratic administration and
appealing to the people of the
whole country, to support him and
his party in the patriotic work
tney are performing.
Governor Beckham and Seua-
tor Camden, stand shoulder to
shoulder with the President on all
public questions Senator James,
has done a giants work in fight
ing the Presidents battles in tho
Senate and has had excellent sup
port from Senator Camden.
When Senator Camden's term ex-
pires, Governor Beckham will be
ready to co operate with the Presi-
dent in solving those great prob
lens that now confront the party
and the nation.
Every Democrat in Kentucky
should go to the polls in Novem
Der and cast his vote for Governor
Beckham and Senator Camden
and thus endorse that great
statesman and patriot, Woodrow
Wilson.
