A BAPTIST MINISTER
DECLARES FOR STANLEY
Says Former Congressman Has
Always Been Champion
OF the People.

/ have been often asked my posi-
tion in the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor: and will
say that am a Baptist minister,
and my work is entirely among
country churches, whose member
ship is made up largely of small
farmers engaged in tobacco growing,
among other things. | have known
Mr.. Stanley for the past ten or
twelve years. and in the fight be-
tween my people and the tobacco
trust he was always on the side OF
my people. He never asked for nor
received employment at the hands
of the trust, and during all his pub
lie record as a member of Congress
he has not only been one of the ab-
lest champions of the rights of the
people, but has never been accused
of corruption in Office OF anything
looking towards that.
There is only one great issue in
this county. and that is whether the
trusts or the people shall Control
the Government. Mr.. Stanley has
always been on the side of the peo-
pie, and ! am perfectly willing to
trust him as Governor OF Kentucky.
l know where he will be. The State
wide question will be submitted
to vote of the people, no matter
who is elected Governor, whenever
they desire it. The other questions
concerning the special interests Will
have to be settled largely by the
General Assembly and the Cover
nor. The material prosperity OF my
people. their moral welfare, depend
upon a proper settlement OF great
questions, and I believe that Mr.
Stanley will be on their side and
will be an able and fearless Cover
nor. and will stand for the rights OF
the whole people. For these rea-
sons l am for him for Governor.

You often hear IL said OF a man
that be is a fellow Of visionary
ideas-this. Of course. in . dispsr-
aging way. But really the man OF
visions is the nan who does things.
A vision is simply a mental insight
into the future or past BY which a
man may be enabled TO gauge his
ideas and plans A man who never
had visions is a person who never
saw possibilities. never had impul-
ses to make the best of life. The
man Of visions is not dreamer. be-
cause the latter merely dreams and
lets it 20 at that. A vision brought

District Pclties)
Gives Several Reasons Why
Judge T. F. Birkhead
Will Meet His Waterloo on the Seventh Day
of August 1915.

In an article appearing in the
Hartford Herald Of date JAY 81.
1915, signed "A Democrat and sch
sequently appearing in the oseas-
boro ally Messenger as a paid adj
vertissment. it is stated that the
only argument offered Why judge
Birkhead should not be reelected
as Circuit Judge in this district IS
the fact that he has held the dice
for tTo terms. This is only one Of
the many good reasons why Judge
Birkhead should not be nominated
by the Democratic party on the 18th
day OF AuRust next as its candidate
for this oace. We suggest that to
anyone in'erestcd in the success OF
the Democratic I.arty in this Dis'ric-
many other good reasons are sn2sv-
ent. Let US enumerate only few
of them.
First. Judge Birkheed should
not receive this nomination at the
hands of his party because he prom
ised both six and twelve years ago
that he would not offer for the third
term IL the people would elect him
to this Office two terms and he has
violated this promise and failed to
keep faith with the people.
Second. Because life tenure in
Office is undemocratic and the third
term in this ONCE in this district is
against precedent.
Third. Judge Birkhead suggest
ed the circulation OF petitions in the
district, requesting rim to violate
his promise to the people in order
to give him an excuse to become a
candidate for the third term and in
dividuais were paid to circulate
these petitions throughout the dis
trict.
Fourth. The petitions which he |
suggested to be circulated were cir
culated more than two and a half |
years ago and at time when it was
premature for the announcement of |
for the Democratic nomi-
nation for this Office in an attempt |
to take snap-judgment and to fore
stall opposition. No one signing
any of these petitions is honor
bound to support him.
Effth
has not better qualified Judge Birk-
head for this Office. During the first
twelve months he held Office |
81 61-100 per cent. of the cases de-
cided by him were reversed. Dur
ing the past six months of the pres
ent year GO 6O-1OO per cent. of the
cases decided by him have been re-
versed in the Kentucky Court of
Appeals.
Sixth. Long delay in the settle
ment OF the estates of the assigned
banks in Daviess county and in
Ohio county has unnecessarily lost
to the depositors in these banks
many thousands Of dollars.
Seventh. Judge Birkhead has
never contributed to the Democratic
party organization nor to its success
commensurate with his ability and
means.
Eighth. OF the two aspirants for
the Democratic nomination for this
ONCE. Judge J. s. Glenn. who Is
Judge Birkhead's opponent, will add
greater strength to the State ticket
nominated by the Democratic party
at the final election in this district.

II Is estimated that during the
past ten years $50 towns in middle
Western States have decreased in
population while the rural districts
OF another section of country have
lost 10000 people. The cause for
ethis is given that the people are
focking to the big cities-already
Pver-crowded. 1t is supposed that
imcst OF this changing population is
composed of young people. While
there may be many chances for ad-
raneement in the big cities not
found in the-rural districts. yet the
change is a big mistake unless OPP
