The town of Avezzano was

The first reports after the
shock had minimized the
damage.
Owing to the wide extent
of the disturbance and its
evident terrible conse-
quences, the actual effects
of the earthquake are not
at present known, owing to
the cutting Of communica-

Washington, d. C.-Senator Camden,
when asked whether he will be a can
didate for governor of Kentucky, gave
the following interview:
About month ago when | de-
clined to discuss the matter of max
ing the race for the Democratic nOmi-
nation for governor, it was because
desired to give careful consideration
TO the expressed wishes of persons
throughout the state whose opinions
| value. | have now positively de-
cided not to make the race.
81 do feel greatly indebted to the
Democracy of the state for my nomi-
nation for Senator at the primary last
August, and TO the people of Kentucky
generally fer their ratification of that
nomination at the polls in November.
Having been appointed by the Govern
or to fill the vacancy existing in the
Senate, was naturally anxious to have
The appointment approved by the cleo
torate of the Commonwealth. My ma
jority of 39,494 at the primary, carry
ing ten of the eleven Congressional
districts, and of 33,O39 at the Novem-
Der election, carrying nine of the
eleven districts over my Republican
opponent, went far beyond my most
sanguine expectations.
Furthermore as a matter of senti-
ment l Was deeply gratitied to occupy
seat in the United States Senate
where my father, an cid line Demo
crat, had served as the choice of the
state of West Virginia.
The selection Of a Governor, and
indeed of all state officers, at this time,
is certainly a matte- of the utmost i'm
portance. Kentucky stands at the
door Of great opportunities, agricul.
tural, educational and commercial.
Whether she enters and takes posses
sion of all that the future has in store
for her, depends very largely upon
whether her affairs are guided by a
broad, sound and constructive policy
Whatever may come to pass, it
shall always be my purpose as pri-
vate citizen to give the faithful, earn
est service to my state and party
which | feel that every citizen owes,
and thus to evidence my profound
sense of obligation to the people OF
