TWO CANDIDATES
FROM old MADISON
May Ask Honors And Eighth
District Republican Conven-
ton In Danville

Local Republicans are interested in
the meeting of the Eighth district re-
publican district convention which will
be held in Danville, March I'd for the
particular reason that Madison county
may have two candidates for district
honors. At this convention two dele
gates are to be chosen to the Republi-
can National Convention at Chicago
At the same time the party will be re-
organized and new member from the
Eighth elected to the State Central
Committee. So far as can be learned,
William Wallace, son of Hon. G.. G..
Wallace Of this city, will have no opoo-
sition for one of the delegateships to
the national convention. Mr.. Wallace
E. C. O'Rear, in his extensive legal of
fees at Frankfort. However, he holds
his residence here at his home in Rich
mOnd and is thus eligible to go as
delegate from the Eighth district, 1t is
probable that no speaker in the last
state campaign made more addresses
for the republican ticket than young
Wallace unless it was Gov Morrow
himself or George Colvin. He is held
in highest esteem by the leaders of his
party. He was offered a position or
the Attorney Generals staff at Frank
fort but preferred to remain in private
practice to accepting political office.
His services to his party justly entit!e
him to delegates place in the nation
al convention and he looks like sure
winner at the Danville convention
For the post of State Central Com
mitteeman from the Eighth warm
contest is expected to develop. Hon.
| George D. Florence, of Stanford, is
said to be a certain entry for reelection
| to the committee place which he now
holds for this district and has held for
i the past four years. Not content with
holding the office of Commissioner of
Agriculture at Frankfort, Hon. W. T.
Hanna, of Shelby county, is said to
have hankering for that place on the
state committee himself And right
here is where another Madison county
man who has labored long and faith
| fully for his party is asking it TO give
him this slight honor. Hon. William O.
Mays, of this city, is also understood
to be candidate for that place on the
state central committee. AS he is a
first cousin of Gov. Morrow, it is said
that he will have mighty strong back
ing for friends of Gov. Morrow want
to see men on the state committee
that he can absolutely rely on, it is
said So an interesting three-corner-
ed race for the committee place is very
apt to develop when the republican
hosts from the Eighth gather at Dan
vile on the second of March.
Little is heard as to their favorite
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton. Gov. Lowden, of Illinois, is said
to be the favorite with National Com
mitteeman Hert, Of Louisville, who Is
recognized as the big boss of his party
! lust at present. 1t is said to be very
probable, however, that the Kentucky
delegation to the national convention
will go uninstructed, so that it may be
able to swing to the man who seems
the strongest at the right moment.

thoroly in "the music of the spheres"
