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

porary of Stanford of gross misrepre-
sentation and willful too, because our
paper goes to his desk by exchange
each week and has been all the time
and he could have known better We
call this number FIVE for identified
ton
Is there anything in the above to in
dictate that we have rushed to the de-
Tense of Judge Hardin? Now, as to
Mr.. Jackson's desire to become a can
didate for Circuit Judge or any of his
plans to do so, none had ever been
mentioned in any newspaper that ever
came to our observation. We give
our word to the public that if he had
desire to be a candidate for Circuit
Judge against Judge Hardin and that
fact was printed in any newspaper 1t
never came to our attention, and we
say seriously that we never heard from
any source that we can now recall that
Mr.. Jackson had plans to be a candi-
date for Circuit Judge or even consid-
cred opposing Judge Hardin for re-
election. Then upon what authority
could the willy editor truthfulIy accuse
US of rushing to Judge Hardin's de-
Tense and 'shunting Henry jackson
from the judicial tract to the Con-
gressional siding?' We feel sure that
the public will answer, none, absolute
ly none. But he predicates much upon
the friendship between Judge Hardin
and the editor of the Record. 1t is the
same old thing, glimpse of a light
ming bug justifies him any time to de-
clare forest fire in his paper. He
sees it through his ''specs" that the
editor of the Record should give his
support to every candidate that Judge
Hardin supports. Whv not Judge
Hardin support every candidate that
We support may We ask? We are
Judge Hardin's friend and know him
fully worthy of our personal friendship
and from the splendid record he has
made as public official deem him fully
worthy of all of our assistance, be it
little or great, in his political ambitions.
There are no relations existing between
Judge Hardin and the writer however,
that would authorize a conclusion that
he could or would undertake to direct
our selection of political friends, nor
do We think for moment that Judge
Hardin would undertake such. You
did know when you made the insinua-
tons with reference to Judge Hardin
and Congressman Helm that two years
ago in the contest between Helm and
Sullivan for Congress, Judge Hardin
was friend of Mr.. Helm and support
ed his candidacy. At the same time
you charge that We supported Mr..
Sullivan. The same friendship existed
between the writer and Judge Hardin
then as now. Would you dare charge
any disloyalty of Judge Hardin be- .rse
we did not follow his man that tive

r>aen tbs public can easily see you
/, | rhoti{e bristling through your live po
iit.cal story. You saw the rising It'd
y of MIR. Stanley's candidacy for tn
Senate against Governor Beckham
II the County of Lincoln and surroundin
n Counties. You would weave a stor

a Congressman Helms many friends
id Lincoln would be thus deceived al
k follow you with Beckham rather tn'
on support MIR. Stanley, but none OF

sis down is that perhaps friend of M
a Stanley, out of the hundreds OF
ch fri ENDS who are for Helm, may su
de port an opponent of the Lincoln Coun
lot statesman, that therefore, Stanley
m an enemy of Helm and that Juo
