An Open Letter
Irvine, Kentucky,
July 14th, 1919.

July l4tn, l9lv.
To Hazard Herald,
Hazard, Ky.
In your issue of June 10th, you
make mention of the fact that
certain candidates for Railroad
Commissioner in the Third Dis
trict had withdrawn in favor OF
Mr. Eversole, and in this article
you intimate that Judge Allen
Cisco and L should go to work
and have our brothers, Clay Cis-
co and K. G. Kash withdraw.
You also say that "Mr. Disco an d
Mr.. kash were requested to at
tend the candidates meeting, but
did not do So" | am writing TO
advise you that K. C. Kash was
not advised of any such meeting,
and | was not advised of it, and
no one was advised of it, until
after it happened. / am inform.
ed by Judge Cisco that he had
no notice of 1t. 1t was well
known fact that my brother was
a candidate at that time, and also
that Mr.. Cisco was a candidate.
Therefore, it cannot be said that
E. q. Kash is in any wise bound
by the action of a meeting TO
which he was not party and of
which he had no notice.
AT the State Convention al
Lexington, a Ninth District man,
j. l.. Mccoy, was a candidate for
Secretary of State, and he with.
drew in favor Of Judge Fred
Vaughan, of Pal intsville, in the
Tenth District. The Ninth Dis
trict has no candidate on the
State ticket. The Ninth district
mas more counties In this Rail
road Commissioner district than
any other Congressional district.
We are entirely in the interest
of party harmony. We are in
the fight primarily to help the
Republican ticket in November,
and this we expect to do. NV
brother, K. @. Kash, has always
been an active and consistent
supporter of the Republican par.
ty and its candidate and will
to be.
We are willing to leave it to
the Republicans of this entire
Railroad Commissioner district
as to who their candidate shall
be.
Yours truly,
Kelly Kash.
