Mr.. Stanley is recognized as the
first choice of the liquor men Of
the State in the Governors race.
No man in Kentucky has cleaner
record on the whiskey side than he.
BY every vote he has cast in
Congress, by his work and influence
in the Democratic Convention Of
1911, by his race for Senator last
year he has assisted the whiskey
and beer interests and fought every
temperance measure. Citizens of
Kentucky will find, if they only take
the trouble to look, that the liquor
crowd is solidly back Of him and
that every vote that they can con-
trol will be given to him.
Mr.. McChesney is recognized as
the champion of the people of Ken
lucky and stands squarely on the
other side of the liquor question
from Mr.. Stanley. He has been a
total abstainer all of his life. Ev-
cry vote he has cast has cast has
been against the domination of
the liquor interests. On every
opportunity he has worked in behalf
of the people against this great
monopoly. He makes no straddle.
Aside from the whiskey question
Mr.. McChesney is easily the best
qualified man for the high position
of Governor of Kentucky. Measure
the candidate from any standard,
for their integrity. For their up
iightness. For their ability. For
their training and experience. For
their knowledge of the States
business. Take any qualification
you will that a man filling the
Governors chair should be endow-
ed with and you will find that Mr..
McChesney stands head and should
ers above any other man in the
race.-Shelby News.
