Will read with interest what he had to
say in the opening speech. Therefore.
we are publishing brief selection
from IL, sufficient to show the fine
spirit OF party loyalty which the Gov
ernor always presents:
"Ex- Gov. j. c. w. Beckham was reg
ularly nominated for the six-vear term
as United States Senator beginning
the 4th Of next March. and the Hon
johnson S Camden was rag,Iarly
nominated at the same primary elec-
ton for the short term as Iynited state
Senator. which commences NEXT Nov
ember and ends the I'd day Of March
next.
1T is not necessary for me To speak
at length about either OF these able and
distinguished Democrats. Gov. Beck-
ham has held many honorable nosi-
tons, Including the office OF Governor
for about seven years and he has dis
charged the duty OF every office he has
ever held faithfully and efficientlv and
has always been conspicuous for nhu-
ity and patriotism and for fdelitv 10

people and advance their hest inter

"The Importance of the election now
confronting us cannot he oyerestimat-
ed, and every honorable and Legitimate
means should be used to secure the
election OF Democratic candidates. We
must not only elect our senatorial
congressional and appellate nominees
but we must secure their election nv
such large maiorities as will show to
the whole country that Kentucky Is n
sure Democratic State, both i'm State
and presidential elections.
"While war is desolating and deyas-
tating other great countries. peace
reigns supreme in our country. and the
glad statement, Peace on earth. good
will toward men. cheers and makes
our people happy.
