IL is with a tinge % regret that We
have learned that Misc Margaret
Frost is 20 leave Lancaster and Gar
rard county after serving so effic-
iently as our Public Health Nurse for
the past eight months
She has been transferred from the
Public Health Department 10 the
Home Service Of the American Red
Cross and was one Of the six selected
from the state to serve in this ca
pacity. She will instruct classes
throughout the state for Red Cross

next few weeks. Miss Frost will
take up her new duties next Satur-

TWO CONCRESSION-
AL CANDIDATES
SURE
Gilbert and Shanks said
to be certain Entrants
in Sth District this
Year.

Announcement Of candidates for
the democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the Sth. congressional dis
trict. are expected 70 be coming very
soon now. So far two prominent
democrats are spoken Of as certain
candidates, says Shelton Saufiey in
Richmond Daily Register. They are
Hon. William II. Shanks. Of Lincoln
county. and Judge Ralph Gilbert. Of
Shelby county. Others mentioned"
as possible candidates are Gordon
Montgomery Of Adair county, Frank
Ripy. Of Anderson county. r. b.
Hoover, Of Jessamine county and Joe
+. Robinson. Of Garrard county, and
possibly others.
IL is said to be a practical certainty
that Shanks and Gilbert will soon
have their formal announcements
out. Shanks was the democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
in the recent state races, and is wide

n remarkable race for the nomination
and election. He 10 widely known
and prominently related in Madison
county. and well known here. Judge
Gilbert is a son Of former Congress
man George G. Gilbert, who defeated
Gov. McCreary for congress in this
district once. He has served ms
county judge Of Shelby and is a prom
inent and aggressive young democrat.
Indications come from Frankfort
that the incoming legislature is prae-
tically certain TO repeal the primary
election law, and substitute the old
mass convention plan Of making
party nominations. The republican
state platform pledges that party TO
repeal the primary law, and as the
republicans control the lower house
by large majority. its passage thru
that branch will probably be very
easy. In the Senate, where the demo-
Gratis have a majority Of only two
votes, It is said that there are enough
democratic Senators in favor of re-
peal Of the primary law to make its
enactment by that branch certain
also.
Most Of the present Congressman
in Kentucky are opposed to repeal Of
the primary law and will fight IL
hard. as they have found that il is
far easier TO win their nominations
and keep them in expensive primar-
les than in conventions, where there
is a probability Of every county in a
district having a favorite son candi-
date.
The Legislature met in Frankfort
Monday, and some interesting politi-
cal moves will undoubtedly follow
