The Antitrust Measure.
The Trades Commission and Clayton
bills recently enacted supplement and
eucidate the Sherman Antitrust Law
and compel fair play and fair competi-
ton by both big and little business
and place a ban on private monopoly.
The Issues Stated.
The electorate of Kentucky will be
called upon at the ensuing November
election to select two United States
Senators, and a 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

condemn, if possible, every Democratic
measure, and thus tur 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 i'm
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
triotic Democratic delegation repre-
senting Kentucky in the House of
representatives (and ! want to say
TO you here that they are the equal
of any delegation representing any
state of the Union) will assist in car
rying to completion the program of
constructive legislation, as mapped out
by our own President, embracing many

sure their passage he must needs have
a 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 closing up of all the ranks
all along the line and solid front
presented to the common enemy.
Democracy, now in the ascendancy,
must not be retarded in its 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 or
condemned? Now that the people, the
plain people, have at last come into
their own, and have torn from the
greedy grasp Of monopolies and trusts
the reins OF govern nent, will you vote
to hand them back again? Are you
willing to consien TO their care and
