pairing to reorganize and strengthen
their campaign committees. When
this work has been accomplished the
work of placing speakers in the
field, and taking up other lines of
campaign work will begin.
eGovernor Blacks adherents in this
county are enthusiastic over the out

to his candidacy here. Every effort
will be made to bring out the full
party strength in the November elec-
ton, and to get every man to the
polls and see that he gets his vote
In time for the Democratic nomi-
nee. The Democratic leaders feel
confident that this county will roll
up its Old-time Democratic major
ity. Governor Black has always
been strong here with the rank and
file of the voters, and his managers
claim the party is now thoroughly
harmOnized, full of enthusiasm, and
all that is needed is good organiza-
tion to bring out the full vote. Re-
ports from business men who have
been through the county show that
the Democrats are solidly united on
their candidate, and that they intend
to do all in their power to give him
a record vote. All say there is every
indication of an old-time Democratic
victory in the appearance of things.

NENT BOURBON MASON
(Masonic Home JeurnaD

We are pleased to be able to pre-
sent to our readers the photograph
of one of Kentucky's Grand Old
Men" in the person of Past Master
James r. Rogers, of Hope Lodge No.
246, Little Rock, Bourbon county.
Though seventy-nine years has come
and gone since he first saw the light,
he is yet active. vigorous, has the
courage of the lion, the patience Of
an OK, and in mind the swiftness Of
the eagle
There are few men in the State
that are better known to the Craft
than Bro. Rogers, as he has been a
regular attendant at the Grand
Lodge for thirty-five long years. He
was first appointed Grand Marshal
by Grand Master Reginald F.. Thomp-
son, and was reappointed year after
year with the exception of one year,
until 1916. He is a man of great
bearing and pleasing personality,
and has been cheered hundreds Of
times in the manner of his announces
ments of the results of the election
of the officers of the Grand Lodge.
1t was Bro. Rogers, who, in the
year 1895, offered an amendment to
the Constitution of the Grand Lodge
reducing the mileage of four cents
each way to the actual expense
(three cents) of travel, saving the
Grand Lodge more than $4,000 each
year thereafter on this account,
making up to this date more than
$4,000 saved for other purposes.
He offered this amendment on his
own motion and fought it through.
He is at present Secretary of Hope
Lodge, and is always on the job when
the gavel is sounded. He served
through the Civil War, casting his
lot with others in Dixieland, and af-
ter the last battle has been fought
and the smoke cleared away, he came
back to his "Old Kentucky Home,''
took up anew the burdens of life to
make the Nation and State better,
and to WELD his influence in making
men feel that we are all one people,
and should treat each other as
brethren.
