daily. Bosworth is not making speeches,
but is constantly active. The greater
portion Of this week Lieutenant Gov
ernor McDcrmott spent in Eastern
Kentucky. He will not emerge from
the mountains until the middle Of the
coming week. Judging from the re-
ports from their headquarters. all Of
the candidates are satisfied with the
situation as It presents itself to them.
but as the time until the primary short
ems and the voters pronounce their
preference II is 60 be expected that
this satisfaction in three Of the head
quarters will be supplanted by another
feeling.
One hears little of the doings Of the
candidates for the nominations for the |
minor offices, their voices seemingly |
having been drowned in the thunder Of |
the candidates for the governorship, !
but all except Marvel Mills Logan. who
is fortunate in having already received
the certificate of nomination for Attor-
ney-General. are as busy as bees.
II was whispered around for day or
two that Senator w. A. Byron and
Judge James p. Edwards might draw
straws to determine who would stay in
and who would get out of the race Tor
Lieutenant Governor. but both have
decided to stay on the track. each be-
lieving he can win over the other and
Judge James h. Black and Colonel
Loving W. Gaines.
Next to the race for Governor. most
talk just now seems to be about the
race for Auditor. The friends of State
Treasurer Thomas $. Rhea says he will
win, but the friends of Appellate Court
Clerk Robert l.. Green declare with
pronounced postiyeness that he will
take the Logan County chieftain's
measure. Both have taken ondeputies
from Lexington. and the young men
are making things lively in the interest
of their respective chiefs. Rhea 5 man
is Edward r. Burch. while Green's Is
Butler Thompson. Either will be com
petent for the duties he will have to
perform if he gets to Frankfort. Lit
tie is heard of II. II. Coyler in the
Auditors race.
Claude B. Terrell and Sherman Good
paster are both claiming victory in the
race for State Treasurer.
Mat S. Cohan. says they are all his as
far as he has travelled and he has been
in III counties. I'm beat Senator
Frohman so badly" said he. that he
will think his total vote mustard
seed. "
Any railroad in need of a claim agent
might make selection after hearing
the candidates for Secretary Of State
talk about their chances. State
Superintendent Of Public instruction
Barksdale HAMLET. who sets great
store by his accomplishment in his pre-
sent, seems TO be making the biggest
claims, but Charles w. Miikin, Of
Louisville. and Gabe Likins. of Hart
ford. are not far behind him, if ttev
are behind him at all. Colonel w. r..
Walton. Of Lexington, and State SEN
ator Charles w. Arnett, of West
Liberty. are the modest supplieants Of
the quintet.
1t seems to be the consenses of opinion
that the race for the Superintendent of
Public Instruction nomination is be-
tween Rice c. Eubanks. Of Lexington,
and V. o. Gilbert, of Frankfort
I The race for the ClerkshIp Of the

b. Keenon was an eleventh-hour entry
/. and Steger has the advantage of q

: further fact that if he lands the ofiic,

one of his force. O'ConneIl is no
