County JUDGE.


Columbia KY.
Dear Sir and Friend:
l have read your two communica-
lions 10 the people of your county, as
presented in The News, and it gives
me pleasure to say to you that ad-
mire your open, frank statements of
your avowed purpose of law enforce
ment and close scrutiny of public
expenses should you be elected Judge
of Adair County Court. These are
the two most needed things to be done
in nearly every community if we may
hope and expect and realize better
public conditions Without just and
rigid enforcement of law evil will GER
tainly oVerrVn the good and without
and honest and intelligent handling
of public funds our burdens will be in
creased and advancement retarted.
Your position is one that ought to ap-
peal to every voter who desires to
maintain good public conduct or to
make improvement over present con-
ditions.
l imagine that you are contending
with unfaVorable criticism as to your
party fealty and possibly misunder-
stood as to your real motive and pur-
pose in making an independent race
over the set program Of your party,
but be that as it may there are times
and conditions when independent ac-
ton is absolutely necessary for the
public good. Good citizenship is I'M
questionably better than party regular.
ity and, in my Judgment, independent
voting-Voting for men and measures
is far better and safer and more COM
mendable than blindly following the
Rooster or the Cabin and is in reality
the salty value Of good and whole
some government. l have every reason
to believe, without doubt, that if
you are elected that you will not
swerVe from duty nor play favorite
and that you will be fair in, your de-
cisions, rigid in law enforcement, es-
pecially against the boot-lsggers If
perchance, you have such beings in
your community, and that public ex-
penses will be reduced if within your
power to do so.
Now Gus, l am your friend and
know you well enough that your are
Bullheaded sufficiently to carry out
every promise you have mrde If with
in your power and if GU are elected L
will be disappointed if you fail to do it.
Here's hoping that you may be victor
in the November contest; that your
tenure in office may be blessing to
Adair County and that your Judship
may be bright star in the crown Of
your achievements Keep a cool head.
Stand pat on your promises and let
the critics alone. The Sunny South
is good enough for me 1 am free
from the partisan clashes that sweep
from HeIl-for- Sertain to the big River
every month in the year.
We have a great section of country,
a fine class of people and absolutely as
little violation of good conduct, the
Volsted law not excepted, as any COM.
munity in the q. S. A. The Boil
weevil and drouth have advanced the
price of cotton and, this section with
a fair crop, is fast regaining lost
yigor The skyes are clearer, the
birds sing sweeter and the future
brighter than IN days gone by.
1 have no apology 20 offer you foR
the foregoing and no explanation save
the fact that just felt like giving
you a pat for the position you have
taken 1 would have voted for Hon.
Ralph Gilbert. You voted for King
Swope. You gave your reasons for so
did would have been a traitor to his
own conscience to have done other
wise. Write me long letter.
Your friend,
c. S. Harris.
