JUDGE b.. BETHURUM AN
NOUNCES FOR us. SENATOR

Judge B. J. Bethurum, of Som
erset, for years CONSPICUOUS fig
ure in the Republican party in
Kentucky, will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for
United States senator in the Au-
gust primary.
Assurance that he will make
the race was given by Judge Be.
thurum himself yesterday, when
he was in Louisville for a few
hours in conference with friends
and associates here. While for
NAL announcement of his candi-
dacy may not be made for some
time, it is known that Judge Be-
thurum has definitely decided to
enter the primary and will be a
strong factor in the contest for
the Republican nomination.
Carrying unusual strength
thruout the Eleventh, his home
district, which is the Kentucky
stronghold of Republicanism,
Judge Bethurum will call to his
banner a big following all over
the stated the party fight for the
nomination.
Since he entered the practice of
law when FL years of age. Judge
Bethurum has been prominent in
legal circles of the state, and for
two terms has been circuit Judge
in the district composed of Gin
ton, Wayne, Rockcastle and Pu-
laski counties. Both at the bar
and on the bench his record has
been an enviable one. Judge
Bethurum is known as a relent-
less foe of illegal liquor traffic
from the district in which he pre-
sides.
The only other avOwed candi
date for the Republican nominal
ton is DR.. Ben L. Bruner, o
Louisville. Judge Mckenzie
Moss, of Bowling Green, who
was recently prominently men
toned in connection with the
toga race, is understood to have
informed his friends that he can
not consider making the fight.
Others who have been discussed
as probable candidates are Judge
Charles Kerr, of Lexington, and
Judge E. Z. O'Rear, of Frankfort.
