The Issues Stated.
The electorate of Kentucky will be
called upon at the ensuing November
election to select two United States
Senators, and Representative in Con-
gress from each of the eleven Con-
gressiOnal Districts in the State. The
all important question and paramount
issue is not so much the personnel OF
the candidates for these Offices. as it
is whether the people will give Wood
row Wilson and the Democratic Ad-
ministratiOn the encouragement OF
their endorsement by electing Demo
Gratis to assist and uphold the hands
of the President in further carrying
out his great program of constructive
legislation so prOpitiOusly inaugurated,
in behalf of the American People; or
whether they will rebuke him by elect
ing the Republican or Bull Moose can
didates to criticise, to thwart, and to
condemn, if possible, every Democratic
measure, and thus turn back the hands
of progress.
The Importance of Governor Beck
hams Election.
And in this connection, | want to
say that relatively the election of Gov
ernor Beckham is vastly more inn
portant to Kentucky and to the Demo
cratic Party, than my own. If elected
my term can only be until March. l,
1915, while Governor Beckham's is for
six years. He and Senator James will
continue throughout the term of the
President, and with the able and pa
tr.otic Democratic delegation repre-
, senting Kentucky in the House OF

of any delegation representing any
state of the Union) will assist in car

constructive legislation, as mapped out
by Our own President, embracing many
more wise measures. In order to in
sure their passage he must needs have
safe working majority in both
Houses of Congress.
Shall President Wilson Be Endorsed
This is not the time for party
differences and dissentions. There
must be 4 closing up of all the ranks
presented TO the common enemy
Democracy. now in the ascendancy,
must not be retarded in it's onward
march to complete victory. The is
sues in this campaign are simple and
clear cut. Shall Woodrow Wilson
one Of the cleanest, ablest and most
humanely constructive Presidents that
even filled the Office, be endorsed OF

under Republican misrule.
Are you willing to undo, or to be in
