The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-08-04

The canvass Of Judge James d.
Black, candidate for the Office Of
Lieutenant Governor, is receiving
fresh Impetus daily and he is making
tremendous gains in every portion
Of the State. There is not a
campaigner on the hustlings who
eclipses him in native eloquence,
forensic ability and sincere patriot
ism. The man from Barboursville
has made a profound impression
upon the people Of the State and
from the Cumberland Businesses to
the shores Of the Ohio, the voters
favor his cause and are focking to
his standard. For years this ami
nent justice has been regarded as
one of the most brilliant leaders Of
the Kentucky bar and as such he is
known personally or by repute to
every lawyer in our borders. He
has made one of the best citizens
of the district and the Democrats Of
the mountain districts will contrib
ute to his victory in the primary.
No other name could have
strengthened the ticket so much as
that Of Judge Black who is noted
not only for his ability and his in
tense loyalty TO the Democratic par
ty and its principles, but also for
his qualities as a good citizen and
civic worker. He has always been
in the front rank of those who
toiled for the advancement of State
interests and prosperity, and has
endeared himself to his friends and
neighbors by his honorable. charac-
ter and kindly deeds. He was the
only candidate from the State at
large at recent brilliant gathering
of the Jefferson Democratic Club,
and he delighted his audience by a
mastery address in which he upheld
the course of President Wilson and
his Cabinet and paid splendid trib-
ute to the Democratic party in Ken
lucky.
Judge Black is man who in
spires confidence and admiration
wherever he goes. There can be no
question of his ability, and the Office
now held by the Hon. E. ]. Nc
Dermott will be awarded to a gen.
tleman equally as able and popular
when Judge James D. Black secures
the nomination.
He is one of the most honorable
men on the footstool and even those
who have been defeatd by this bril-
liant barrister in some big legal bat
tie, testify to his honesty, his elo-
quence and his worth.
The office of Lieutenant Governor
is one that demands much of its in
cumbent, and Judge Blacks knowl-
edge of law, his high character, his
zeal and love Of this native State
will render him an ideal candidate
for this position and sustain the
opinion of his numberless admirers
who declare that he cannot be de-
feated.

That Russellville speech of Me-
Chesney's ought to hold down Mr..
Stanley awhile. II was the best, most
decent and graceful castigation any
man in Kentucky politics has re-
ceived lately, and he cannot get
around the facts related. He
brought it on himself by the unjust
criticisms of McChesney. Stanley's
stock in trade is abuse and villifica-
ton and his speeches il not abusive
would be stale and fiat. McChesney

HARVARD LOSES STAR
IN CENTER WALLACE

Percy Haughton received a serious set
back early this fall. when it was ruled
that Don Wallace, star center on last
years championship eleven, was in
eligible for the 1915 team. Wallace, who
entered Harvard from a Western college.
spent one year dabblins with rugby foot
ball. and this was enough to put him
on the sid"lines for ever more. Wallace
was depended upon TO play the pivotal
position for the Crimson this year. and
his loss makes it necessary for Haugh-
ton to try out numerous candidates. 1t
will take time to develop a man who
can play the game up to the Harvard
standard. and the position probably will
be i'm doubt until the game with Prince
ton on November 6. This is the first case
where a football man has been shelved
because he so forgot himself as to play
rugby early in his college career

In fact. it was the opinion of the
baseball world that Carrigan would
start the series with Foster instead OF
Shore. because while Foster may not
have the same amount Of natural stuff
as the Georgian. he is a smarter pitch
er. and has more experience. He is a
fellow somewhat on the order Of Ru-
dolph of the Braves. but Rudolph no
longer possesses anything like Fosters
speed and curves.
The New York Giants ran against Fos-
ter a couple Of years ago at Houston,
in the Texas League. and Foster blank
ed the McGraw regulars in an exhibition
game. He was then about the best pitch
er the Giants had encountered in a spring
time exhibition in years. and his feat
caused no little comment among the bali
players.
Boston fans are firmly convinced that
if Carrigan handles his pitchers right. the
rest of the series is a walkaway. Many
believe that a repeat with Shore tomor-
row would be the logical course. in view
OF the way Shore WAS outlucked In the
