Sampson Takes Long Lead in
Judicial Race

Knox and Bell counties, returns
from which were received yester-
day by Secretary Of State, James p,
Lewis, put Flem ID. Sampson, of Bar
bourville, safely in the lead for the
Republican nomination for Ap-
pellate Judge in the Seventh district.
With only Clark, Floyd, Perry and
Powell counties out, he is 1900 ahead
of A. j. Kirk, of Paintsville, having
carried Knox by 1900 and Bell by
$40. The remaining counties will
cut SIMPSONS plurality down, but
IT probably will be more than a thou
sand in the district. With four
counties out, the vote stands: Samp-
son, s,263; Kirk, 6,323.

Hughes Next I

Twenty-three states were carried
by the Republicans in 1914, which
have a total of 2S8 electoral votes,
more votes than the required major
ity Of 266. In four states the Pro
gressive vote resulted in the selec-
tion of Democratic Senator, so that
those states are classed as going
against the Republicans. Three of
these states, California, South Da-
kota and Oregon, are regarded as
surely Republican this fall, while
the other, Indiana, while claimed
by the Democrats, is very likely to
go for Hughes and Fairbanks.
Maine went against the Republicans
in 1911, because of a large Progress
sive vote, but there is no doubt
about where it will be this fall.
