tieG. This opinion has not been expressed officially by any member of the state board of equalization, but there seems to be considerable doubt in certain quar- ters as to the right of counties to name n.emiers at this late day.
 If this be true, then the governor will have to name other county appointees in addition to those already named. As is known. the governor named one mem Der for each county of the state The beard of revenue of each county was gwen authority to name one member. and the two members thus appointed were to name a third member.
 As indicated above, about 40 counties have complete boards of equalization, and if it should be held that the time has expired in which counties can name their members, then it will devolve upon the governor to make appointments for the delinquent counties.

JUDGE O'REAR PROMISES
TO MAKE AN EXPOSURE
OF COterie OF Republicans Will.
ing To Trade Off Party
In State.

Frankfort, KY, Mag Judge
z. c. O'Rear, who, in company with
Senator ]. c. w. Beckham, will
make a speaking tour of the noun
tains next week, declared to-day
that he will expose to the Eleventh
District Republicans the plans of a
coterie of Republican politicians in
another part of the State to trade
off the party in the State for sup
port in local races. He promised
that what he will have to say to the
members of his party in their
stronghold will create something of
a sensation in Republican ranks.
The rdmored deal is that in re-
turn for a non-committal platform
on Statewide prohibition, Louisville
Republicans will have the support
of certain favored interests in the
judicial races there this fall. What
a Democratic Legislature would do
in the way of reprisals for such a
combination has been the subject of
some discussion about the corridors
of the Capitol.
This much is known here, though
whether it has ever reached the
ears of Thomas B. McGregor, can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Attorney General, he has
declined to admit. An offer was
made to throw him down for that
nomination if John p. Haswell, for
mer Assistant District Attorney at
Louisville, and former Marshal Geo
w. Long. of Leitchtield, would &c
on the ticket with Ed. p. Morrow

Elsewhere in The Herald to-day
appears the announcement of T. F.
Birkhead, who is candidate for re-
election to the Office of Circuit
Judge of this (the SIXTH Judicial
District, subject to the action OF
Democrats on the first Saturday in

Judge Birkhead has made a SPLEEN
did record during his incumbency
of office. He has brought to the
discharge of his duties a very high
degree of ability, coupled with an
efficient execution of the law.
Few of his decisions have been re-
versed by the Court of Appeals. He
has been energetic in keeping the
dockets clear and claims the dis
tinction of having lessened the ex.
pense to the taxpayers in this Judi
cial District, since he has been in
office, more than $4,000.
Judge Birkhead has expedited
the courts progress at every availa-
BILE point and been Jealous in his eff
forts to save the expense of courts
and litigants. The dockets have
never been allowed to lag on his ac-
count. Jails have been kept reas-
onably clear of prisoners.
Judge Birkhead has stood for the
enforcement Of the law and has dis
charged his duties on the bench IN
commendable way. His expert
ence and ability eminently qualify
him for the place which he holds
and which he seeks to retain.

wine. then cold bottle, and finally
our luncheons became for me a
time when responsibility would fall
from my shoulders. He was pay

the cost of the Broadway life was
getting away ahead of my salary. I
began drinking heavily. shall never

Concerning the liquor and prohi-
bition questions, President Wilson
says: whenever they have been
made the subject matter of party
contests they have cut the lines of
party organization and party action
athwart. 10 the utter confusion of
political action in every other field. .
To verify the truth of this statement,
one need only to glance about the
political situation in Kentucky to-
day. There is no more self-constl-
tuted and loyal temperance man in
the country than President Wilson
and he has thousands of fellow
thinkers in all parts of the country
men who believe in and practice
prohibition. but who consider the
question. like Wilson, as essential
ly non-political. non-partisan, moral
and social in its nature" II is GER
tainly a party-destroying issue when
so employed.
