pointees and policy in return for sup

II
port:
with the Stanley support enlisted
on the side of Governor Black, there
are those who prophecy that voters
who favored Governor Black under
the impression that he was anti-Stan-
ley and that there was nothing in COM
mon between the two will soon begin
looking about for another candidate to
who they may throw their strength.
These Democrats, 1t is claimed, are
clamoring for an entirely new deal,
contending that the party, If bearing
the Stanley brand can not possibly
win in November"
The ousville Herald predicts that
Governor Black will fall short of the
strength he is popularity supposed to
have in the mountain section of the
State and will be unable to make any
inroads on the normal Republican
vote in the Tenth and Eleventh dis
tricts. The Hazard Herald also makes
the statement that indications are that
Black will not carry off the vote in
that Black will not carry off the vote
in that section in the primary, and
that Judge Carroll has much strength
there. 1t comedies the Third district
|, and the dry vote in the First, Second
and Fish to Colonel Denhardt, and
states that Judge Carroll will be
fighting neck to neck with Black in
the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth districts, with Colonel Denhardt
getting the dry votes from Black. 1t
also sees share of the vote in the
, Tenth and Eleventh districts going
to Judge Carroll.

!, the Democratic nomination for State
Auditors is ]. P. w. Brouse, superin-
q tendent of the Somerset schools, who
