In selecting Mr.. w. A. Thomson,
of the North Middletown precinct, as
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee, the Republican party OF
Bourbon county has set a high mark
to be shot at. In all the county
there is no man more highly regard
ed as level-headed, courageous.
thinking and plain spoken business
man, one whose partisanship mas
merely consisted in being a straight
out working Republican, always
with the interest of his party at
heart. He is successful. selfNnade
man. coming up in the world by
hard knocks, and learning how" by
actual experience. He is the Ken
lucky representative of large Eastern
hacking concerns, and of the Consol-
idated Dressed Beef Co., of Phila-
delphia. Being an expert in this
line he buys annually a large num-
Der of the best cattle in the State
for his firms.
MIR. Thomason is one OF the
staunchest Republicans in the coun-
ty. and has given largely of his time
and means to promote the interests
of his party in all it's cal1paigns,
county. State and National. He is
man of liberal views, and his pcl1tl-
cal opponents have no cause to lind
fault with him for that. He does
not believe in autocracy. but does
believe in the principles and faiths
if the Republican party. He has as
ISOLATED with him as members of the
Committee men who will respect his
riews. and work hand-in-glove with
An. HIS position should add pres
tige to the Republican party in Ken
lucky and will add strength to the
ticket to be selected. Republicans
say the Democrats had better watch
Thomson and not go to sleep on
their jobs.
