The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1915-08-12


Governor Edward J. McDermott. and
even here he ran a close second. There
have been few instances in Kentucky
politics where candidate has no COM
pletely swept the state.
BLACK STILL AHEAD.
In the race for Lieutenant Cover.
nor, James ID. Black. Of Barboursville.
Is leading by a safe majority. with IL
counties out, over James p. Edwards.
OF Louisville.
Black claims that the mountain
counties will swell his majority. Ed.
wards claims he will win by fifteen
hundred. This, however, seems to be
improbable OF fulfillment, as all noun
tain counties heard from so far give
Black a majority.
Judge Black issued a statement that
his plurality will be between 1000
and 5000.
Edwards was a running mate OF
Stanley and stands for the county
unit.
Black has openly favored Statewide
Prohibition, and II his election Is GER
tain II may mean that the dry ques-
ton will be in calcium again. Two
years ago a statewide bill passed the
House and failed in the Senate. Should
the Barboursville man preside over the
Senate II would give statewide big
advantage, even though the Governor
may stand for the county unit.
ARNETT RUNNING STRONG.
The race for Secretary OF State. still
in doubt, sprung a surprise as some
of the late figures were totaled, and
shows that c. ID. Arnett, Of West Lib.
erty, is running strong and may out,
distance Barksdale Hamlet. Of Frank.
fort, and Charles w. Milliken, OF
Louisville.
Hamletts plurality Of 3,341. with
some counties missing. appears safe.
Milliken claims race by 5000.
GREEN By 10000.
Robert L. Green, of Frankfort, de-
feated Thos. S. Rhea, OF Russellville.
for the nomination of State Auditor
by a majority Of 10000.
ooooPAsToR FOR TREASURER.
Sherman Goodpastor, nominee for
State Treasurer, has won by ma
jority of between 10000 and 10000
over Claude B. Terrell, of Bedford.
APPEARS kEENoN WON.
II appears that Rodman W. Keenon,
of Harrodsburg. has won the office OF
Clerk of the Court Of Appeals over
Alvin Steger, of Owenton, by a small
majority. Several of the mountain
counties are out and may change the
result.
COHEN SAFE MAJORITY.
Matt s. Cohen won the race for
Commission n of Agriculture by q
plurality "a $4,000 over his opponents
