FOR THE COURT OF APPEALS.

The Democrats in Kentucky
stand behind a strong ticket.
Making the record of the adj
ministration their platform. they
have every reason to expect from
the people of Kentucky a hearty
Endorsement.
On this ticket for the Court of
Appeals for the Third district is
Mr.. Rollin Hurt. The Evening
Post can do no better in support
of this nomination than to quote
from personal letter written
under date of September 2, 1913,
by MIR. E. w. Newman, better
known to our readers as Savoy

II see," said Mr.. Newman.
that Rollin Hurt, of Adair
county, is candidate for the
Judge of the Court of Appeals.
1 have known Mr.. Hurt since he
was a boy. There is no greater
lawyer than he in the State of
Kentucky. He is a sort of Abe
Lincoln of a man. His talk
would delight intelligent folk al
ways and every honest man
would know him as a friend.

communication with Rollin Hurt
in years. He knows nothing of

not know the political course
Rollin Hurt has taken in recent
years, but ] do know him as an
honest man and as a big man."
This was the unsolicited trib-
ute from keen observer of all
men in public life. We do not
doubt that it is fully deserved
and that the expectation based
apon it by Mr.. Hurts personal
friends and political associates
will be fully justified by his
course upon the bench. Let the
people of the Third district SCI
that he is given an overwhelming
Endorsement at the polls.-Louis

The memory Of that race awakened
Speed from his slumbers many times

stretch. Back toward the final turn
they came. the college man desper-

But Skinner wavered. His ankle
turned for a second time; he seemed
about to fall once more. Then he
righted himself, but he came on hob

from the blur, and her lips cried to
