Post Compliments Shanks

The Louisville Post paid de-
served tribute the other day to the
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, who is we'll known here,
where he frequently visits her family
with his wife. 1t said: Shanks for
Lieutenant Governor" The Evening
Post has again and again during the
last thirty days presented arguments
in favor of the election of James D.
Black as Governor of Kentucky, and
we expect to continue to make the
same appeal until the day of the bal
loting in November. Today we wish
to say a few words about Mr.. W. H.
Shanks, the Democratic nominee for
Lieutenant Governor, and to bespeak
for Mr.. Shanks the same support that
is asked for Governor Black. Mr.,
Shanks is one of the strongest men on
the Democratic ticket, and one of the
strongest men that has been nominal
ed in years for the office of Lieuten-
ant Governor. He won his nominal
ton in IN open primary, and he show
ed at that primary unusual personal
strength. He brings htrmr rr NIB
strength. He brings marked strength
to the whole ticket, and both his par
ty and his State are to be congratula-
ed by his selection. 1t must be re-
r,embcrod that the Lieutenant Gov
ernnor presides over the Senate and
acts as Governor in the absence Of
disability of the Governor Mr..
Shanks will be of great assistance to
Governor Black during the important
years that are before us.

Independents For Black

William G. Shinnick, one Of the
ablest of the younger news writer's
of Kentucky,-who has been following
Edwin P. Morrow on his speaking
itinerary, says that after talking
the voters in the different towns he
has visited, that he is convinced that
the independent voters are for
Governor Black. Mr.. Shinnick says
that Governor Black will get every
Democratic vote, as he has found NO
disaffection anywhere, with the large
respectable body Of independents who
hold theNinterests of the State above
any party for him it would seem
that Governor Black has his election
cinched.
Democrats, however, should take
nothing for, granted. There is nc
earthly reason why any Kentucky
Democrat should vote for a man like
Ed Morrow against such a man as
Governor Black There is, on the
other hand, every reason why Gov
ernor Black should get every Demo.
cratic vote in the State. In the
event of vacancy in the United
States Senate from Kentucky the
Governor elected Nov. 4th will have
the appointing power. If that Gov.
ernor is Black the Senator appointed
will be Democrat who will uphold
the President in his great welfare
work for all the world. If by any
calamity it should be Morrow who
appoints a Senator to fill a vacancy
that Senator can be depended on te
vote and work with the Penrose.
Lodge orah-J ohnson obstructionists
to do all they can to embarrass and
harass the President solely for poll
tical effect.
Let every Democrat in Kentucky
get to the polls Nov. 4th and cast hi.
vote for a man of clean character
high integrity and noble purpose
whose sole ambition is to serve hi.
people well as Governor.
