ky has been completed and start her
out on a campaign for Gov James NJ.
Cox, Franklin d. Roosevelt and SEN
ator ]. c. w. Beckham that will end
late in October on the Pacific Coast.
Mrs. Stewart has been so much in
demand both in Kentucky and in the
nation that the State is to be congrat-
ulated on having landed the major
portion of her assignments.
On September "a, she opens at Mt.
Sterling. The next afternoon, she
speaks at Franklin, and that night at
Russellville. On Monday afternoon,

campaign she will speak in the West,
being booked for twenty speeches.
Another big card for Kentucky will
be Secretary of Labor Wilson who
appears in Covington on Friday. Sec
retary Wilson has an interesting ca
reer. Starting as a coal miner, he
worked himself up by sheer force of
ability. He was so highly regarded
by laboring men of all connections
that President Wilson placed him in
his cabinet.
