shut up. If you want a legal
fight, 1 am ready; If you want
a political fight, you can get all
you wait. But phil off your
schemiug masks and come out in
the open and fight like men. I
will ride to the voters with you;
| will stump the County with you:
| will fight it out with you in any
way you choose, only lets tell the
people the truth. Fhe people
want facts, not fancies; figures in
arithmetic, not figures of speech:
Naked truths, not masked sha,
dowy, confusing, political sche
mes.
l ask the voters not to become
confused at the sight and sound
of some political trickSters with
ing in agony. They will go thru
all kinds of permutations, convo-
lutions, and maybe, commissions
before the election, in their des
perate effort to pull wool over
your eyes. Don't be fooled by
such base schemes. Some who
are not in the race. but intensely
interested. are going to the voters
and posing as my friends, and
expressing an apparent sympathy
for me and sorrow In their own
hearts.
[ understand that their express
sion is that of deep humanity and
thepathos of it is touchingly beau
tiful, almost limpid purity; then
they proceed to end the tou ching
scene, and with the seriousness
of Vestal Virgin, making ready
to serve before mysterious alters,
read some cold, storm sections of
law. some letters and maybe, an
almanac. Be careful men. Don
be fooled; they are not my friends
else they would not be telling
such; neither do they know the
facts of the case. l know from
the best legal authority in tn,
land, who know the facts, that
am eligible. The only disability
connected with my candidacy, is
common to us all that is lack of
votes. If you see fit to give me
the nomination, l will certainl,
keep 1t and then go after the Dem
ocratic nominee with hammer and
tongs in November,
Yours heartily, =.

To THE VOTERS OF RocKCAS-
TIE COUNTY:
1t Is being circulated in some
parts of the county that / have
not at all times supported the
Republican nominees. My aft
davit will be found in this issue
of the Signal, which I hope will
relieve the mind of every voter
in the county. Further more it
is being circulated that I am not
eligible to hold the Office of Coun-
BY Court Clerk if 1 am duly NOM
mated and elected. If this is
burdening the mind of any voter
| will refer you 70 the Clerk S
Office and have Mr.. Bowman read
10 you the record. My claim Is
equal justice to all men. l am
making a very great effort to see
every voter in the county and
will continue this campaign work
until the fourth of August.
l thank the good people of
the county for the courtesy al.
ready shown me during this cam
paign. ] will be in various parts
of the county continuously till
the campaign closes.
I now appeal to my friends to
help me take care of my claim
and win a great victory for me
which | think from clear con
science I really deserve.

To the Republicans Of
RockcaS tie County,

Rockcastle County.
Sometime ago 1 told the voters
that l did not consider it proper
for Republicans to write news
paper articles against each other;
l am Still of the same opinion and
am very reluctant to write this
one: but my friends have advised
and urged ME to do so.
The people are being told, for
the purpose of confusing their
minds that l am not eligible for
the office of County Attorney
That 1 lack one day-and if l
should be nominated and elected
| would be turned out of ofic e
and a Democrat appointed by the
Governor. In the first place, the
people should know that the
Governor does not appoint the
County Attorney in case of a
vacancy, but that the County
Judge, only, has the power to ap
point.
In the second place. if 1 I'm
not eligible and legal candidate
for the Office. the law strictly for
bids me taking any part in the
primary as candidate. If | am
not a legal candidate, it will cost
either or both of my opponents
or any one of their scared bench
men just fifty cents to keep me
off the track. All that anyone
has to do, is to go to the Circuit
Court Clerks office with fifty
cents and secure an injunction
against me running and that ends
it. That would be much cheaper
easier and quicker than writing
long expensive newspaper articles
and letters and riding in the hot
sun all over the County from
now until August the 4th. If I
am not legal candidate, it is not
only their right, but their duty as
Repub licans and citizens to keep
me from running and 1 believe
that every one who knows them
knows that they or some one for
them would do so. l registered
as a legal, qualified candidate:
They have had all chances and
still have, to stop me. Now, l ask
you both and all your henchmen,
who are spreading the slanderous
falsehoOd, to try it-Yes l dare
you to try it. Now put up, or
