George Blevins Writes Of
Army Life In Hunland

Mrs. Mary Nelson, on Smith-Bal-
lard street, has just received the fol-
lowing letter from her brother, Geo.
Blevins, of this city, who is with the
American army in Germany. 1t will
be of interest to mis- many friends at
home:
Coblenz, Germany, Feb. %.
Dear Sister:-Receiving your letter
last week, I decided it was time to
answer it. I am all o X. and hope
your are the same. Since heard from
you l have moved from Prun, Ger
many to Coblenz, on the banks of the
Rhine. So you see am watching the
Rhine. This is lot better place than
Prum. This town is about 100000,
so you may know it is quite large.
All of the houses are built with earth
er stone or brick in this country. The
same in France and England. have
been in all three countries. and have
never seen wooden house yet. Ten
or fifteen families live in one of the
big buildings. The houses lack a
whole lot of being clean, too.
The cows and horses stay in the
cellar or in the next room to the ktch-
en-. Say, what was that old man do
ing sleeping in that convent at Prum ?
He must have been going to school
there. Who are the fellows that arc
back from over here? Next time you
write me tell me who they are and
what division they belonged to. Tell
all of the kids hello. Say I bought
"a locket as a Xmas present for Mil
dred. had it in the shop getting i
engraved so a nurse friend of mine
is going to send it as soon as it
done. Tell all hello for me and if
Uncle Bob puts that letter in the pa
per, cut it out and send it to NEE.
From your brother, GEORGE.

that time.
From reports from the upper end
of the district, where a majority of
the prospective candidates reside,
there seems to be a strong sentiment
for convention to be called to select
the democratic nominee. This is pro-
bable but reflection of the wishes of
these candidates who would be un-
willing to stand the expense and cam
paigning incident to a special or a
regular primary election.

HELMS SUCCESSOR
In NEXT CONGRESS
Newspapers Specializing About Prob
able Candidates and Method of
Choosing Nominees
(From Shelbyville News)


The time and manner of selecting a
democratic nominee TO succeed the
late Congressman Harvey Helm still
remains very much in doubt and as a
result the numerous aspirants in t,
district for the Congressional toga are
very much cup in the air." One thing
is certain, however. Shelby county is
practically certain to offer one of its
sons for the nomination. Judge Ralph
Gilbert and Attorney John K Todd,
are being urged by their friends to
enter the race, but neither is able to
sdefnitely determine the matter until
the manner and time of selecting the
nominees is decided upon. 1t is not
believed that more than one candidate
will offer for the nomination from
this county.
Other democrats mentioned as pro-
bable starters in the race are Senator
L. Meriwether Smith and Judge Chas.
Hardin, of Mercer county; w. Vernon
Richardson, and William Jennings
Price, of Boyle county; Shelton Sauf-
ley, of Madison county, and Charles
F. Montgomery, of Casey county.
There has been no precedent in this
state in the last quarter of a century
to follow in the matter of selecting
the nominee for Congress where the
Congressman has died after being
elected to the Office. Some contend
that the Governor may call a special
election at any time, while others are
equally certain that the Speaker of
the House of Representatives at
Washington issues the call for cleo
ton. Still others contend that the
governor must wait until Congress
convenes and he is officially notified
by the House that the seat is vacant
when he may issue the call.
The Federal Constitution provides
that the chief executive officer (of the
House of Representatives,, shall issue
a writ of election, and the Kentuck
law, putting that provision INTO ef-
feet. provides that the governor shal
issue a proclamation calling the el
ton, at least 20 days to elapse
tween the call and the election date.
Of course this has only to do with
the general election in which noml'
nees of the democratic and republican
parties run. The manner of selecting
the nominee is left to the governing
authority of the party. If there is
plenty of time before the general
election the party authorities may call
a primary, or if the time is short they
may call convention, either a pre-
cinct convention or county mass
convention. It has been suggested
that as the state primary will be held
in August that the nomination be
made at that time, and the represen.
tative would be elected in the regular
November election. This seems to be
the most sensible and logical plan, but
others contend that the district woult
be without representative in the
event President Wilson calls a specia
session of Congress in June, and thai
a Congressman should be selected b,
