belong to the Democratic party
and believe heartily in it's principles
and have never failed to give my
undivided support to it. Every man
should belong to a political party
the party that most nearly represents
his views-and should take a lively
interest in politics. / have never
affiliated myself with any set or
group of men for the purpose of
controlling the party, or for the pur-
pose of influencing the results of
the election of any group of candi-
dates. l am not now associated and
will not be associated with any group
or combination who have in view the
control of county offices contrary to
the will Of the majority of the citi-
zens of the county. / believe a party
should stand for ideals and princi-
pies that mean something. L believe
there is place in politics for honesty
sincerity, decency and truth. I be-
lieve that character and integrity are
just as essential in political leader
ship as in successful business achieve
ment, and / shall make my race for
this nomination strictly upon my own
merits and shall gladly abide by the
will of the majority of the Demo-
cratic voters.
have served you as Superintend-
ent a little more than three years to
the best of my ability. 1 have tried
to be channel through which God
could operate. / have endeavored
to give the people of Bourbon a
clean. honest, open Straightforward,
self-respecting and business-like adj
ministration. Every day I appreciate
more and more the tremendous re-
sponsibility that goes with this big
job in great forward-looking coun-
ty like Bourbon. / am trying to dis
charge my duties faithfully and
conscientiously. Trying to be just
and fair. Trying to give every one
in Bourbon square deal. Trying
to be Superintendent of the whole
people and to keep constantly in
mind that that county is greatest
which does most for it's citizens and
makes them happy and prosperous.
Although the salary of the office has
been very small ] have spared Meth
er time, energy, or my own money in
trying to give each child a better
opportunity to secure an education
that fits him and gives him show
in the race Of life. If / have made
any enemies in this effort I regret
very much that / have been so UNI
fortunate; but l consider my first
duty to serve the school interests. of
Bourbon County, and / have tried
to do so without regard to how such
course would effect my future polit-
lcal welfare, and. my only regret
is that / was not able to accomplish
greater results for the school chill
dren. of the county. In fact / have
just got to where results could be-
gin.
1t is my belief that each officer
of the county should be a true serv-
ant of the people, and if nominated
to this important office 1 pledge you
that at all times ! shall give my best
anu iioSt uIHScuC cIIOTCS TO serve
you well and faithfully, and shall
give my full time to the duties which
such office would place upon me.

you will withhold your final decision
until / will have had a chance to see
