feel obligated or honor-bound to
support Judge Birkhead in the COM
ing August primary. No man is
honor-bound where another has at
tempted to forestall his judgment
by artful scheming. and these petit
tons, it now develops, were being
circulated to keep down opposition
and to cause those, or as many of
them as possible, signing these petit
lions to feel obligated on this ac-
count to support Judge Birkhead
for the nomination in this race and
thereby prevent the people from ex-
ercising their right to a free and
fair choice in the selection of the
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for this Office.
1t is equally as important that
the people feel themselves free to
choose between candidates when the
proper time comes for them to Of
fer for Office as it is to require can
didates elected by the people to Of
flee to keep their promises made to
the people before their election to
Office. We think two terms of six
years each. is enough for any one
man. Judge Birkhead promised the
people before his election that he
would not be candidate for the
third term, and, having served two
terms. we think he should give way
to man who is thoroughly compe-
tent and in every way worthy and
well qualified for the position of
Circuit Judge.
The voters of this district would
honor themselves while honoring
Judge j. S. Glenn by casting their
votes for him for the Democratic
nomination for Circuit Judge.

TICKET NOMINATED BY
THE PROHIBITIONISTS

Louisville, KY, May 29.-Mem-
bers of the Prohibition party assem-
bled nearly forty strong in State
convention at Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church here yesterday and
nominated full set of candidates
for State officers, with the proviso
that the head of the ticket would be
withdrawn if either of the two DOM
inant parties dominates a Statewide
candidate who will run on a State
wide platform.
The list of nominees follows:
Governor. the Rev. Andrew John
son, of Wilmore; Lieutenant Cover
nor, Col. T. B. Demaree, of Will
more; Treasurer, Adam Carpenter.
of Moreland; Auditor. NJ. l.. Moore,
of Franklin; Secretary of State,
Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp. of Lex
ington. Col Demaree was elected
State chairman, to succeed Mrs.
Beauchamp, and c. A. Singer, of
Louisville, was elected secretary.
The platform adopted puts the
party on record as favoring a single
term of six years for President of
the United States, the initiative and
referendum, and the granting of the
rights of suffrage to women. OF
course the platform reaffirmed the
stand of the party in favor of prohi-
bition of the sale and manufacture
of alcoholics.

Mrs. Frances L. Beauchamp, of
Lexington, Ky. State President of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, says that the election of a
Governor is not the prime temper
ance issue in the Kentucky cam
paign, but rather who will represent
the people in the next Legislature.
Mrs. Beauchamp is right. Any
Statewide legislation that may be
enacted into law will not demand
the approval of the Governor nor
will 1t admit of his veto. But some
of the politicians would have the vo-
tiers think otherwise.
