FO|LS REPUBLICAN HOPES
Some Facts Concerning Entries
In Coming Primary
Election


more Republican State primary will
be held before the 1920 optional
primary act becomes operative For
mer Representative Zachary Taylor
Proctor, Leitchfield, fled his de-
claration today at the same time as
Richard p. Ernest, Covington, for
the Republican nomination for Unit
ed States Senator, and the hope Of
party leaders to avoid a contest was
thwarted.
Mr.. Proctor served in the 1904
House and at the special 1905 ses-
sion when the new Capital site was
selected. He was implacably parti-
san in the General Assembly and it is
recalled here that "Goebelism" was
his theme whenever he obtained the
floor. He voted against changing
the Capitol site and against the ap-
preparation for the Goebel monu-
ment.
Senator j. c. w. Beckham has, no
opposition for the Democratic nomi-
nation.
None of the candidates for Appel
late or Circuit Judge, who filed in
the primary in either party, took adj
vantage of the nonpartisan judiciary
act, permitting them to be candidates
in more than one party. All are ask
ed for straight party nomination.
There is an election in the Fifth APP
pellate and Twenty-first and Twenty
third Circuit Judicial Districts.
