and for that reason he selected one
who, he had, every reason to believe,
knew these ruthless and wicked de-
spoilers of the home and of the youth,
and would see to II that none of the
mammon of unrighteousness ever
reached his pious pockets.
ION September 6, 1911, Hon. John
w. Mccullough, chairman of Judge
O'Rear's Finance Committee, indited
the following notice, among others, to
the Republican distillers and barkeep-

priety of contributing to the campaign
of their ancient and inveterate foe. Be
that as it may, the letter in part is as
follows:
Asks For Contributions.
"'To make an effective organization
requires money for purposes that are
obvious and legitimate. Won't you
please practice some self-denial for a
couple of months, add that to your
usual campaign contributions and send
me a check by return mail? Every
dollar you contribute may mean a vote
in November. Now, don't put this off,
| for it is all-important that the funds
be in hand to cover the campaign ex-
penses, and it depends upon our con-
! tributions for the vigorous prosecution
of this work. Awaiting the favor Of
your immediate reply, / am, yours sim
cerely. ]. w. Mccullough. Finance

"The people Of Kentucky are united
on two things. First, their advocacy
of the greatest president since Jeffer-
son, Woodrow Wilson, and second, for
a bigger and better Kentucky, more
progressive Kentucky, a more highly
developed Kentucky; better roads,
bringing the home and the school and
church, the mill and the market into
closer and nearer contact. They de-
mand the development of our vast
and undeveloped resources, the pay
ment of a deficit of two millions-a
discredit to Democracy and a burden
to the state. Honest, fearless, patri-
otto men, free from the communicating
| control of corrupt influences, the in
veterate foes of graft and of every
| form of corrupt government, the cham
pions of the plain people-that is what
Kentucky demands, and that Kentucky
shall receive from her servants. And
it is to escape this issue that Hon. II.
V. McChesney raises the bogy of state
wide prohibition at this time"
