MANY CANDIDATES ANNOUNCING

an assured fact that Congressman
j. Campbell Cantrell will be a
/ starter. and the experience he had
as Chairman of the Wilson-Marsh
campaign would make him a for
midable contender. Lieut.. Gov
James 2. Black, who broke the
Republican strength in the noun
tains, will be in the race, while
friends of Attorney General NJ. NJ.
| Logan say that he is looming up
strong as a candidate to succeed
Gov. Stanley. In addition TO these
! it is pretty near certainty that
McChesney will again be the Haly-
Beckham prohibitionist candidate
for Governor, but will get the
| place, according to racing diction,
and maybe show If there are sew
! eral candidates. In all probability
Gov. Stanley will wait for Beck
hams time to run again for Sen
atorial honors and then he will con-
test for that seat. believing that
his defeat before was in the nature
| of fuke, that being conceded TO
be the case right here in louisville
and Jefferson county, where votes
and support were obtained for

promises. Senator Ollie James
race will come first and the Haly-
Beckham clique will probably OPP
pose him with -one of the Prohibit
ZIONIST Democratic element, and as
a candidate for Senatorial honors
must necessarily have campaign
barrel indications point to Col. Pat
rick H. Callahan as that standard
bearer.
Despite the protests of Herman
Monroe and his friends the Chill
ton-Searcy machine is going for
ward in its purpose to select I'm
dertaker John Mas as the Repub-
lican nominee for Mayor. and al
though Mr. Monroe has been kick
1 ing pretty strenuously the powers
| that be are circulating Mas but
tons in the railroad shops and big
manufacturing plants. Ex-Mayor
Grinstead and his friends of the
Republican Old Guard have also
been run over by the machine, and
so strong is its power in the G. o.
p that National Committeeman "A.
T. Hert hurriedly got out of its
path, being probably a little dis
couraged over his experience in
handling the Hughes campaign last
year and not in condition for re-
verses locally This means that
Messrs. Chiffon and Searcy will
personally name the Republican
ticket, their choice for Sheriff be-
ing w. E. Ross, Charles Hess for
County Clerk. ex-Councilmal II. p.
Reager for County Assessor, Frank
| Watson for Police Court Clerk,
Fred Neutzel for City Treasurer,
Gus Neurath for Police Court
Bailiff. OF course ex-Mayor Grin
stead, Mr.. Monroe and their friends
will be given the nominations for
non-salaried offices like the Board
of Aldermen and Council. The
Louisville Herald is already in line
under the Chilton-Searcy banner
and will fight any opposition to the
machine programme.
The Democratic outlook is very
promising, as nearly every nomina-
ton will be contested for, but
friendly in every way, guaranteeing
united front in November AS
suggested first in these columns
there will be no fight made on the
Brumleye element and the candi-

every consideration IT is believed
that Mr. BrumleYe and his friends
will center their strength on the
Mayorality nomination and the
Sheriff's office, backing Mr.. Wood
ruff for the latter. In discussing
the Sheriff's race Wednesday the
Evening Post said that the contest
would narrow down to Mr.. Wood
ruff and Mr.. McNally, the Haly-
Beckham representative, and said
that Senator Sam Robertson would
be possible candidate. Ask any
political leader or club representa-
tive and they will tell you that just
now the Senator has all the ear
marks of an easy winner. For
County Judge the race seems be-
tween Lorraine Mix and Squire
Charles Wheeler, as County Judge
Greene is not developing any
strength. Nathan Kahn and Hun
ter Burke will contest for Police
Court Prosecutor, while Judge
Boldrick, Tom Hall and Thomas
Walsh will be the contenders for
the Police Court Judgeship. Pres
Ray will be opposed by Harry
Weaver, of the Brumleye faction,
for County Clerk, while present
County Assessor Scott Miller and
: Allen Smith will be, the only can
didates for County Assessor.
For County Commissioner Messrs
