BEDFORD, KY, March 25.-The
Honorable Claude B. Terrell, of Trim
BILE County, today announced himself
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for State Treasurer in the
State primary of August Z. next. He
will make an active campaign for the
nomination.
Mr.. Terrell is one of the best
known of the younger Democrats, who
have been active in politics and pub
lie life during the last few years, and
enjoys an acquaintance that covers
every section of Kentucky. He is a
farmer, merchant and banker in his
home town. He has served the Trim
BILE and Oldham District in the Gen
eral Assembly of Kentucky on three
occasions, twice without opposition,
and serving at two sessions as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives.
Mr.. Terrell first entered State poll
tics in the memorable legislative ses-
sion of 1900, when the Goebel contest
was before that body. He was a
member of the Rules Committee of
the House, one of the most important
positions at that time, and in the
gubernatorial contest, following the
assassination of Governor Goebel, he
was a member of the Steering Com
mittee of the Democratic organiza-
tion in the lower House. He was one
of the five men of that body who
kept its records intact during the days
when w. S. Taylor prevented the Gen
eral Assembly from meeting at the
Capitol, and preserved those records
so that they were later upheld in the
courts of Kentucky.
Mr.. Terrell came back to the legis-
lative session of 1912, and because of
his former experience was easily
elected Speaker of the House. He
was returned by his district to the
session of 1914, Oldham County Dem
ocrats setting aside the custom of
rotation in order that he might be
thus signally honored, and he was
reelected to the Speakership without
opposition in the House. AS presid-
ing officer of the lower House he had
much to do with the enactment of
important legislation during the ses-
sions of 1912 and 1914.

James Speed at High School.

Those who were fortunate enough to
hear the inimitable James Speed, Of
Louisville, at the Caldwell High School
on Thursday evening spent an hour and
half of pure delight As you followed
him in his quest of the Haunt of the
Blue Heron" through green fields and by
limpid streams, through tangled briar
and silent wood, you felt yourself up
lifted and scared with this Mature
poet" to realms of simple beauty.
Such lecture should have been heard
by every man, woman and child, for il
gives new vision Of life. IL teaches
the voice of every blade of grass and
flower, even as it teaches the song of the
bird. You are made TO understand the
words of Longfellow: Mature paints
not in oils, but frescoes the great dome
of Heaven with sunsets and the lovely
form of clouds and flying vapors"
The Climax-Madisonian. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1914-1917, 1915-03-31

Mr.. Terrell has for quite a number
of years been a member of the Board
of Trustees of the State University,
Lexington, and has taken an active
part in the conduct of the University,
and shown much interest in all edu-
cational matters that came before the
legislative sessions over which he
presided. He bases his candidacy for
State Treasurer on his experience
generally as a business man, and be-
cause of his knowledge of the States
financial affairs through his service in
the General Assembly.
He presents his candidacy briefly in
the following card:

Il will be a candidate before you

Saturday, August z, next, for the
nomination for State Treasurer.
feel that my experience in the past
in legislative capacity, as member
and Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, has brought me closely in
touch with public affairs of Kentucky
and the needs of the State. The
Treasurer, besides the duties directly
connected with his department, is a
member of the State Sinking Fund
Commission, which has general charge
of the financial affairs of the State,
and a member of the State Board of
Valuation and Assessment. which
fixes the franchise values of corpora
lions for purposes of taxation. l be-
lieve my public experience as a bust
ness man and legislator qualities me
for the duties which are to be per-
formed on these two boards, as this
experience has given me an intimate
knowledge of public affairs and &C.
quainted me somewhat with the needs
of the State. If chosen for this Office.
it is my purpose to give my entire
time and attention to it, to the end
that 1t be successfully conducted.
shall always retain my interest in
the further development of the educa-
tional system of Kentucky, and my
desire to see 1t become a perfect sys-
TEN is one of the reasons why I
should like to be a member of the
next State administration.
