In = recent editorial in the Pente
costal Herald. Dr. Morris, president
Of Wumore College, had the follow
ing Of great interest in regard to th'
governors race IN Kentucky
Recently Kentucky Distillcrs' As
sociation met in Lours,.fie and ADOPT
ed vigorous resolutions against Mr
n. Y. McChcsney, candidate Tor nom
nation for Governor. No higher com
pliment could be passed upon any re
putable citizen of the State OF Non
tucky asking for office, .oan that the
Distillcrs' Association Of the state
should oppose him. II Is well under
stood that the man who eXcites the
hatred and opposition of the Distllers
Association should win the confidence
and approval If all good men who
stand Cor the home, the church the
school. the best financial and moral
interests OF the State.
Il is a little amusing TO have the
Distillers' Association expressing
with such elouuence and earnestness'
~ approval of the County Unit law.
Non would almost think it was an As
sociation organized on purpose Tor
The suppression Of the liquor traiiic'
The people Of Kentucky have not tor-
gotten how that distillers OF Kentucky
did everything in their power to op-
nose the County Unit Bill; they CON
i;nue 10 talk about the well rsguiat.
ed saloon" and the illegal control OF
the liquor traffic. They seem 10 i9r-
oct that the country knows that ,he
whole whisky bunch, from dlstiils,
10 saloenist. are not at all interested
In the enforcement of any law 10 pro
bibit the manufacture and sale oil IN
toxicating drinks.
The buster and hypocrisy OF the
men engaged in making ana seliihg
strong drink will not deceive the peo-
nle Of Kentucky any longer; ana tnis
,,oetiny and accommodation OF the
Uonor men of the State ought TO rally
10 the standard Of Mr. McChesnesy
men OF all parties, crScds ana eohui-
tions. Kentucky wnnts a I"NerhoI
who is thoroughly out OF harmony
with the saloon and all of its minions
and thoroughly in harmony with the
homes of the people and preserva-
lion Of our manhood and woman
hi from the ravages Of strong
drink.
Mr.. McChcsncy is -en known
citizen. n man Of broad culture ana
sterling character. He has proven
himself an intelligent and truStwof-
thy public servant He has had oPpor-
turity 10 see the rayages and run
that the liquor traffic mas wrought
In the grand old Commonwealth OF
Kentucky. He realizes that intoNicht-
inc drink has brought crime, poverty,
ul'terory. indolencs. disease, and
death as no other agency of Satan or
ali other evil influences combines
have done. He knows, rs every other
irtellieent. fair-minded citizen, that
ib.re IS no one thing which would
mean so much for our State rs the
utter prohibition Of the manufacture
ale and drinking Of intoxicating lq-
uors. With the courage OF his conVle-
tiohs. he has championed the cause
OF the people against the most selilsh'
preiudiced. hypocritical and danger
Gus foes that man can confront. lie
is concluding a vigorous, clean, man
ly can,paign Of the State. He has not
been the candidate of any clan OF
politicians or the representative of
any machine CT political boss. He is
the representative of the people of
Kentucky. He stands for everything
that means prosperity. sober home,
improved methods of travel. better
schools. a more progressive. industri-
Gus. larger life. and happier. more
contented people.
In this editorial we do not propose
10 undertake TO show the superiority
CT Mr.. McChesney over other candi-
dates seeking the nomination for
Governor. The contrast could he
strikingly drawn and. aside from the
great cause of sobriety and the peace
and prosperity which il would bring,
il would be easy TO show that Mr.. Me
Chesney in his qualifications for the
high place he seeks. towers above his
opponents as mountain above mole
hills. But at the present time. the
fact must not he lost sight of that
the people of Kentucky are rallying
around this princely standard-bearer
