Edwin P. Morrows speaking cam
paign, since Its opening three weeks
ago, has proved an unbroken series OF
triumphs which have demonstrated
anew his great and growing hold upon
people Of Kentucky. Every meeting,
without exception, has furnished con-
vincing proof that the people are
awakening to the necessity of hating
the operations OF q party which has
plunged the State deeper and deeper
into debt while taxes are soaring ever
higher and higher. His audiences have
given eloquent and unmistakable de-
monstrations of their confidence that

the mountains, Ed Morrow, with his
rugged. kindly race, Is making a ire

portunity of meeting him thus init
mately, who are not affected BY the
depth and sincerity of his ambition to
serve the people Of the State he loves
10 well.
Just Plain, "Home Folks."
Recently Mr.. Morrow stopped at

H. Lloyd, a Democrat. Mr.. Lloyd, aft

Kentucky. You may never have all
other chance of seeing a Governor"
The little tots face broke into smiles
a. she gazed into the kindly features
Of Pulaski eounty's favorite son and

Prominent Democrats as well as Re
publicans are openly hailing Mr.. Nor

pie. They admire the courage with
which he IL denouncing those who
have betrayed their confidence, and
they rejoice in his answering deter
mination not to allow his opponents to
divert attention from the actual issues
Of the campaign.
At Glasgow, Marrowhops, Owenton
and several other points, Mr.. Morrow's
audiences Included many Democrats
At the outset Of his addresses at these
places, Democratic hearers, although
respectfully attentive, refrained from
applause. As the meetings progressed
however, and Mr.. Morrow, with Ines
capable logic, drove home his points

cheers. Many Democrats, following
these meetings, have thronged arounc
Mr.. Morrow to assure him that In theil
belief the time has come for all goot
Democrats to cast ballots Of rebuk,
against the party which has been be
traying them.
