The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1914-01-01

only one time has the name of the
Hon. Henry Jackson appeared in the
Record since we became the editor
connecting him with the Congressional
race and our files are open for ex-
animation for the verification of the
assertion. Likewise, we find the
name Of Congressman Helm mentioned
one time in our files. In our issue of
May 30, 1913, we spoke of Congress
man Helm as follows: "Mr. Helm
with the courtesy and expediency for
which he is noted took the matter up
without delay and exerted every in
fluence within his power to assist us
. ......" This statement was
made concerning some matters we
were handling for Garrard County as
County attorney in which Mr.. Helms
aid was sought. On October 8, 1918,
there appeared in our paper a news
item which spoke concerning MIR.
jackson in the following headline,
Hon. Henry Jackson for Congress.
1.-The Danville Advocate reports that
ar. Henry Jackson has some thought
of getting into the race for Congress.
His friends over the District are
pledging him support and asking him
to seek the nomination according to
the report. Henry jackson is a very
popular official of Boyle County and
regarded as model County Attorney.
His sterling honesty merits the con-
fidence that the people have in him
wherever he is known. While a very
modest man he has the happy faculty
of making friends every where he
goes with all those he meets. He is
one of the lawyers in Danville and
would make an ideal Congressman.
We know of no man in the District
, capable of putting up a better fight
for the Congressional nomination thai.
Mr.. Henry Jackson" Now, this is all
that has been said by US in the Lar.
caster Record.
You charge that we started a crusade
and that it was taken up by a Danville
paper. We deem it only necessary to
ask reading of the local quoted above
and suggest that the article itself
, shows that we GU not start crusade,
if any was started, that the suggestion
that MIR. Jackson might be candidate
for Congress was first from the Dan
vile Advocate and that your state
merits in this regard are untrue. We
call this number TWO for identified
ton. What heaven have we moved,
what earth have we caused to tremble
to get Congressman Helm opposition?
If there be anything in the compliment
tary works spoken of Mr.. Helm, as we
detail herein, indicating a crusade for
opposition we are unable to detect it
ourselves and in the article referring
to jackson not an unkind word is said
of Mr.. Helm. We submit whether OF
not this does not nail MIR. Saufey's
charge that we are moving heaven and
earth to give Helm opposition and the
further charge that our Glove for Stan.
