Those Jessamine county demo-

they are talking about his candi
dacy for Commonwealth Attor-

ocratic primary on August g.
Anyway, Sandy Bluff, the po-

the most important questions
which are involved in this race.
Here's what he said in the Mich
olasvillc paper:
In accordance with natural con-
sequences and by the teachings Of
democracy, it is, fellow citizens,
nothing more than patriotism
mixed up with the Golden Rule
to consider our neighbor, and

Attorney, very earnestly and
thoughtfully. If the Twenty
second Judicial District ever ex-
poets to tear loose from the ole
traditional order of re-electing
the same man continuously for 4
quarter of century surely now
s the time to plunge in and re
verse this improper, unsafe and
undcmocratic system of govern
ment. 1t is not good policy.
neither is it a square deal, t.

duct of Jessamine county and
bears all honorable business re-
cord throughout the county and

FOR ROAD FUNDS

Frankfort, KY. July 14-Some
Kentucky highway enthusiasts
are understood to be sending pc
titions of complaint to United
States Senator Ernst. of Ken
tucky, against his reported oppo-
sition to the highway bill intro
duced in the House Of Represen-
tatives by Representative Robsi-
on, also OF Kentucky, it became
known here today.
Mr.. Ernst, it is said, is the only
member of the Kentucky delcga-
ton in Washington who is OPP
posed to the Rohsion bill. The
State Highway Commission has
the measure.
A prominent Eastern Kentucky y
Republican is quoted here as hav-
ing said that Senator Ernst is
suspected Of being influenced by
Cincinnati sentiment in favor of
the Townsend Senate bill for the
construction of federal highway
links between New York and San
Francisco, and Chicago and Mi
ami. to the despair of Interstate
federal aid projects in Kentucky
and elsewhere. He said the Ohio
Road Commission stands among
the few bodies supporting the
Townsend measure.
