gates-Moores, Wallace and
Rice Mentioned"

be called to meet in county mass con-
vention here on May 10th at which
time 80 delegates and alternates will
be chosen to the state platform con-
vention of that party which will be
held in Lexington May IA. Hon w.
o. Mays, chairman of the Madison
County Republican Committee, will
soon issue call for the county mass
convention at Lexington will formu-
convention at Lexingtno will formu-
late platform upon which that par
ty will go before the voters in the
state races in November. There will
be practically no contests for nomina-
toins by the republicans. Hon. Ed
win 2. Morrow, of Somerset, is al
ready assured of his party's nomina-
tion for governor and the candidates
for the other places on the ticket are
being "hand- picked" by the leaders, il
is claimed, in order to select ticket
that may have chance of winning.
The Paragraph said the other day
that friends are urging Hon. G. B.
Moores to make the race this year
for the republican nomination for rep
resentative in the legislature from
Madison county, and it is expected
he will yield to the solicitation of his
friends and shortly announce his can
didacy. Mr.. Moores represented this
county for one term but was defeated
for reelection by Judge Rice, who is
also expected to be candidate for re-
nomination and reelection on the
democratic ticket.
In discussing the matter few days
ago, the political correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer mentioned
Lieut.. William Wallace, son of Hon.
c. c. Wallace, prominent local repub-
lican leader and attorney, as a pros
pective candidate for the republican
nomination this year. AS Lieut. Wal
lace is still in Europe with the Amer
lean forces, his friends seem inclined
to think that he will not get into pol
itics this year, anyway. He is now at
tending the University of Lyons, in
France, a number of young Ameri-
cans having been given opportunity
by the government to take some of
the higher work in several of Frances
world-renowned educational institu-
tions, while the army is still kept on
the other side. What the Enquirer
said of Lieut. 5Wallacewin be read
with interest by his friends, however:
It reads as follows:
A boom has been. started by Re-
publicans for Lieut. William L. Wal
lace, who is in France, for the 'repub-
hcan nomination for Representative
Young Wallace is a son of Attorney
C. C. Wallace and very popular. II
is expected that he will return to his
home in time for his name to get on
the August primary ballot.
