Can't Muster the Courage

The Nicholasville News comment
ing upon the effort to get out oppo-
sition to Congressman Helm had this
to say. last week:
Tom Cromwell in the Cincinnati
Fnouirer saws that certain infiuen-
tial democrats" opposed to Congress
. man Helmet the Eighth district, are
irving to get the decks cleared Of
other would-be-candidates so that
thew can pit Hon. George L. Pickett
of Shelby, single-handed against
MIR. Helm. At the same time the Dan
vile Advocate, always hunting for
a man to run "single-handed against
M. Helm" says that certain infiu-
entail democrats" are trying to get
William Jennings Price to resign as
minister to Panama, and come home
and undertake the task of beating
Helm. as Gen. Garrett, after can
wasting the situation, the Advocate
first suggestion, declines to try 1t.
AS Price and Pickett are both per-
sonal and political friends of young
Ralph Gilbert, of Shelby, who still
SAYS that he wants to run, and mas
Picketts support pledged, it would
seem the task of selecting some one
10 "beat Helm" presents all OF the
same old difficulties, and would re-
uuire another Victoria hotel meet
ing" even if one has not been al
ready held. The boys who really
have congressional ambitions, had
better lay low, watch the politicians,
all secret meetings, conferences, etc.,
and bide a wee. This is year OF
denominations in the democratic
party in and out of this state, and
everybody from the President down
will be given denominations, prac-
tically without opposition.
