Statement of Is. {. Lewis
Candidate for the
State Senate
Barbourville, ny,
Jan. Is, 1915.

To The voters Of The 18th Sen
atoriaI District =.
On January IL, 1915, lsent to
a number of the papers III the
18th Senatorial District Of Ken
tucky my announcement as a
candidate for the Republican
nomination for State Senator in
said district, and the announce
ment came out that week. |
did this after what | considered
due deli beration with my friends
in BarbOuryille and Knox county
as well as elsewhere in the dis.
trict.
After | had been discussing
this matter for sometime and be-
fore | made my announcement,
DIR. W. 9, Black, of this place,
came ont III the local paper on
Dec. IL, 1914, advertising him
self as candidate for Il. K.
Com missioner. The same issue
also stated that his uncle, Judge
James ID. Black, also of this
place, would be candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Lieut.. Governor. When | saw
DIR. Blacks statements, | insist
ed to my friends here that |
would not enter the lace on &C
count of his being u candidate,
that it would be improper for two
from the same place to seek NOM
nations for district offices, even
though they be different posi-
tions. But my friends insisted
that | should not give this any
consideration from the fact that
| could not rely on DR.. Blacks
running, that it was usual for him
to talk of running for something
and then fly the track. but |
refused to come out on him, and
withheld my announcement till
| was informed that he had de-
cided not to make the race.
Then my announcement came
out as stated above.
But now in the issue of the To-
cal paper dated Jan. -, 1915,
Just one month and four days
after his announcement men
toned above, DR.. Black again
comes out announcing himself
candidate for State Senator
against me; he did this after he
knew | had made my announce
ment, and without word to me
or any of my friends, failing tn
accord me the common courtesies
and consideration due the most
hnmble citizen of the land. He
acts as though he thought | or
any other citizen here had to
take off our hats and stand back
and let him pick and Gull and
flip aud flop from place to place
till he finally makes up his mind
aud gets settled. In last SIM
days issue (Jan "a, of the Lex
ington Leader in discussing Mr..
Blacks entrance into the race
for Il. K. Commissioner it states:
Now comes dispatch from Bar
bourWlle to the effect that Mr..
Black has changed his mind, and
instead of opposing Commission
er Garrett, will seek the Repub.
lican nomination for State Sena-
tor in the Knox hitley district.
Mr.. Black has sent a nice letter
to Commissioner Garrett notify
ing him of his withdrawal from
the race and pledging him his
support"
Some of my friends suggest
that | give this last top no more
consideration than the former
one, that probably when We hear
from him again he will be flop
ped elsewhere, or may be make
two or three more hops before
the announcing and running sea
son is over. But I feel that as
a matter of justice to myself and

he has already made one flop

his announcement, notice his

in which he says: II am in this
race to the end, and my face lie

why he thought it ncce ssary to
make such q statement.
He speaks of being Known so

candidately, as well as in the
political, according to his own
statement in one of hi; write ups,

ent citizens and myself and the facts in the matter laid before him, and I laid before him all the data I had collected during the legisla- tive session.
 The Alaska road commission has agreed 10 epend $3O,OOO in the di- vision on the various roads and trails this year, and the charcoal Point road will be built by the $11,- soc derived from the one fourth of the forest fund under the road su- perviS-r appointed by the legisla- ture.
 During the past the placer gold miners and the dog-team men have done all the shouting about Alas ka, both in the territory and the states and Washington, D. c. Nine hundred and ninety people in every thousand in the states, if they can tell you anything about Alaska at all. will describe it as it is around Nome or Fairbanks. There are good politicians and good advertis- CTS in the second and fourth di- visions and a good many of them look with disdain upon the Island Empire of the first division. But the first divison is a part of Alas ka and a very important part. It has afforded most of the permanent population and paid most of the bills of the territory and the time has arrived when it must be taken into consideration. The people Of this division are ready to assert themselves and they must be grant ed what their commerce and in- dustry and importance justly en- titles them to have.
 Respectfully,

SENATOR SULZER
 ON ROAD FUND
lContlnued from page 2l


 CT cynically and sort of gave me the laugh, but said that they would not seriously object to my. getting anything I could from the road commission, feeling quite certain couldn't get anything. Thus in due time the memorial passed and was submitted to the road commission together with all the letters and petitions and data that I had been collecting during the session on the road and trail question.
 At the close of the legislative ses- sion the members from thE division agreed that as there was only $11,5OO available for this division it would be best to eXpend it all on the Charcoal Point road, as there was not enough to divide among the different projects to accomplish any good. They also unanimously sanctioned the suit to enjoin the treasurer from paying out any mon ev from the forest fund except to the Firs. division. There could be no question about the First di- vision being entitled to less than one-fourth of the fund and it would be silly for anyone to con- tend otherwise. There had been a provision inserted into the law by Representative ShOup that in case any parts or sections should be void, it did not invalidate the re- mamdcr, and this protected the Charcoal Point road in any event. Colonel Richardson was met at Ketcbikan while on his way north by Mayor Beegle, Representative Hickman and a number of promin-

A Bit of Advice
First-Don't Delay. Second-Don't
 Experiment

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; If the kidney secretions are irregular and unnatural in aD- pearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help. Doan's Kidney Pills are es- pecially prepared for kidney trou- bleS-they are recommended by thousands. Can kidney sufferers desire moro convincing proof than the statement following:
 James M. CahilI, stationary en- gineer, PAT Harrison St., Portland, Oregon, says: Nothing has oc- cured to alter my high opinion Of Deans Kidney Pills and I confirm my former endorsement of them given soma years ago. Since then I have been helped by Doan's Kid ney Pills and I believe that they have no equal for kidney and blad- der trouble"

Barney Greenberg again held sway over the twenty-odd opera tors, with the perfect discipline that Is engendcred of ones brother being policeman, for the whole story of Abe's adventure on the east side had leaked out, and not man of all Potash 6 Perlmutter's employees but knew that Abe's discolOred eyes resulted from the prowesS of Barney's brother, the po- Ilceman.
 As for Abe, after he paid a fine of $50 in the police court, he went home to bed and stayed there for two days During the next week the skin around his eyes varied "hameleon-like in tones of purple, plum color and green, until it gradually faded to q smoky brown, which bade fair to last for months.
 Morris viewed these badges of his partners misfortune with marked dis approval.
 "Aiu't told you, Abe" he said for the twentieth time, you should forget about that silk and get down to busi- ness? We not only lost the silk, but you lost two days from the store, and $1O you had to pay that loafer what bailed you out. Also you pay $50 by the court for nothing, and now Riff kin's brother says you should pay him $25 for his silk which you took and which he ain't never got from the sta tion house yet"

 Morris shrugged impatiently.
 "Schmoo-es, Abe!' he broke in. You ain't got no proof that he stole the silk"
 I'm surprised to hear you, Mawruss, you should talk that way" said Abe, after all the trouble what got in. If he aint took that silk, who did took it7 I suppose took 1t, Mawruss, or may be gave 1t away as present-what"

 Two minutes later a short red faced man entered, bearing a large parcel wrapped in brown paper.

LIVE STOCK SALES
AND HOW THEY RUN

Charles and Irwin Vesperman both
had sales last week on their North
Lancaster farms, both events being
quite we'll attended and drawing very
fair money. Charles Vesperman's
sale was held Wednesday, and the fol-

lows:
