Nominate Senator Camden

Every man who aspires to public
office has the right to submit his
claims to the vote of his party assoc
ciates In the primary to be held Aug
ust first. We have no criticism OF any
man who, because of his ambition for
a nomination, or his desire to serve his
people submits his claims in that pri-
mary. And yet we think it not inn
proper to express our regret that two
distinguished Democrats have entered
the race against Senator Camden for
the nomination for the short term
Senator Camden was appointed by
Governor McCreary to succeed Sena-
tor Bradley. who died on the day on
which the time expired that required
an election in November. Under the
law the appointment made by the
Governor holds only till the Novem-
Der election, at which election a Sem
ator must be chosen to serve until
March 4th.
At this session of Congress Senator
Camden will become familiar with the
problems that are to be settled; he will
have made his place on the committee
of which he is member, and taken
his position among his colleagues.
Nominated by the Democrats in the
August primary, and elected in Nov
ember, he would take his seat in De-
cember familiar with his duties, with
his committee assignments, ready to
take up the tasks imposed by the short
session of Congress.
Familiar as he is, and there Is no
man in the State more familiar, with
the agricultural industrial and mining
needs of the State, Mr.. Camden would
be in position to render real service.
In innumerable ways he has shown his
interest is the agricultural problems,
and proven not only his interest, but
his capacity for industrial develop
ment, so that he could be of greater
service to Kentucky than could any
man who has not served in this Con-
gress and is not therefore familiar both
with the problems before Congress and
the needs of the State.
Without in any way criticising the
motives, or disparaging the ability of
others who seek the nomination for
short term, it is Individually true that
they could not render so valuable SER
vice during the short session, which
extends only during December, Jan
uary and February, as could Senator
Camden, who would have the advan-
tage of service during this session with
committee assignments already made,
and familiarity with the problems that
will arise during these three months,
From the standpoint of the best in
terests of the party and of the State
it is wise for Democrats to nominate
and the voters of all parties to elect
Senator Camden for the short term

STICK 10 the Old Horse.

When we hear anyone suggest that
Governor McCreary is too old to hold
office any more, that his days of USE
fulness are past and gone. we are re-
minded of a farmer who owns an old
horse which he has used on his farm
for years in every place where horse
could be worked. and in no instance
has he ever failed. A neighbor having
a younger horse he wishes to dispose
of meets Mr.. Farmer and says: "See
here, why don't you get rid Of that old
horse; he can't serve you much longer,
and just now have horse that will
suit you admirably he Is a good
locker and goes all the gaits." Let
me sell him to you SO you can be up
with the procession and relegate old
Jim to the shades of oblivion and a
well earned rest" "Neighbor." replied
Farmer. sit is useless to put up such
an argument as that against the old
horse, for l know him, and / know he
can be relied upon wherever you put
him and every time you call upon him.
He never sulks, balks nor fears mud
hole, not even the worst, so / will end
our talk by saying that shall stick

Who's Who and Why2
West Liberty, Ky

West Liberty, Ky.
Editor Big Sandy News;
The Democratic party has now ar
rived at the parting of the ways, at
which point they should stop and view
what lays before them. There are
three ways which the party is being
solicited to embark: To the left is
route over which the host of VETS
led by Congressman A. o. Stanley as
captain would have the party embark /;
which in my opinion would prove as
the great editor of the Courier Journal
once said of Grover Cleveland, through
a slaughter house to the grave" On
the right we find Ex-Governor Beck
ham with the prohibition element of
the Jacksonian party seeking entrance
with the Ex-Governor as captain, but
the party is reminded that over this
route with this same Ex-Governor as
captain the Democratic ship of state
was wrecked and went to the bottom,
but failed to drown this self consti-
tuted captain. Hear what he says in
one OF his circular appeals issued
without date in which he (Beckham)
speaks of his defeat In 1908: "The
same powerful interests and influence
that brought about that result CHS
defea) are now at work behind my
opponents in the effort to defeat me-"
He here admits that there is for him
a dangerous element in the Democratic
party. That being true. which all
Democrats admit, why the necessity
for the party to be dragged into such
conditions to satisfy the ambitions OF
one who has already shared the con-
fidence OF his people and party to an
extent that should satisfy the amid-
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1914-07-10

Beckham says Stanley is the tool of
the whiskey trust and is not honest.
Also, many other things equally as un-
complimentary. Stanley says Beck
ham IS allied with the l.. G. N. railroad
and has been its attorney for several
years. Beckham does not deny this,
but says his fees have not averaged
more than $500 per year. Stanley
condemns Beckham for going over to
the l.. & NJ, which has always been
charged with having been the bitterest
and most effective enemy of William
Goebei to whom Beckham owed his
start in public life. Stanley makes a
very bitter denunciation of Beckham
for what he terms this unfaithfulness
to his martyred benefactor.
There stands Gov. McCreary-clean,
able. strong real statesman, too
wise and too broad to mix up in any
thing that will cripple his party in ias
fight in November.
