| This Frankfort clique has tried TO get
me out of the race. Mr.. Kauffnan's
| chief henchman in Garrard county,
Mr.. ]. |. Hamilton, went to my
brother-in-law and came to me and
tried to bribe me to get out. of the
race against Kaufman, saying there
was soon to be a shake-up in the col
lector's office at Danvillc and that |
could get choice of plums II would
quit. Every vote buyer in Garrard
county Is for him. Lookout. boys. the
money is coming. The Frankfort
clique wanted to give It to me. Mr.
Kauffman's whole canvass has been
one of evasion. misrepresentation. de-
ception, falsehood and bribery. Can
you, or dare you, trust such a man in
State Senate? He said in his Stan
ford speech that the first lawsuit he
ever had was against me and that he
beat me very badly. That was not
true The first lawsuit he ever had
against me was on an account OF
s1.75. and he came into the police
court in Lancaster and tried to plead
the statute of Limitation for his client,
but was not successful. You can now
see the article sued upon in Judge
Harris store. Mr.. Kaufman says nom
mate him, man who can be
elected in November. Can you
suppose for an instant, that a man
who will make the disgusting and dis
honorable plea OF limitation TO a
Just account, deserves the vote of
honest men or could be elected TO
any ONCE. Can a man who by his
acts protects the saloon-keeper on
Sunday expect the votes OF good citi-
zens? Can a man who distributes
money and whisky TO corrupt and de-
saunch his fellowmen expect the vote
Iecent citizens? Wouldn't he make
trong candidate in November with
alrge OF trying to evade payment
OF an honest debt for Sl.75. Of hay-
ing tried TO protect the damnable
Sunday saloda-keeper. of having dis
tributed money and whisky to de-
grade and debauch voters, of having
drawn pay tas per newspaper clip

Wouldn't the Republicans rejoice
and throw fits TO have the Democrats
nominate this great apostle Of the
saloon and pleader OF limitation and
the debaucher OF the voter? | was not

Would you feel proud of the
fact that your State senator had
plead limitation on an account Of
$1.75 or had sought to protect the
saloon keeper, who sold liquor on
Sunday from the penalties of a Just
law? Mr.. Kauifman's friends OBJ

these facts but he attacked my SINGER
ity and honesty in his Liberty speech
and | am only defending my record
as a public citizen and servant and
comparing IL with his. His friends
should have admonished him OF the
saying: THAT fools rush in where
angels dare to tread Mr.. Kaufman
said in his Danville speech that a IS

he serves for such an amount he is on

are men of renown. Don't you think
So is more than enough for a man
who repudiates a debt of only s1.75?
l remember that Christ and his dis
ciples were cheap men. They took
neither purse nor script, yet they are

plead no limitation to their hardships
or privations. Mr.. Kaufman is a
