MEMS AND BOYS OUTFITTER

The Commonwealth is pleased
to announce that Judge b. J..
Bethurum has selected for his
campaign manager in Wayne
County Mr.. Joe Brown, son OF
the late Cy Brown. and nephe w
of Hon. j. Austin Brown. Judge
Bethurum is fortunate in secur-
ing the services of Mr.. Brown in
this important capacity, as he is
a young, vigorous and popular
Republican of that county, and
no doubt will manage the Judges
campaign with skill and ability.
From the reports that reach
his Office, Judge Bethurum will
receive much larger vote in that
county than he did six years ago.
Practically all of his friends in
the other race are still for him
and he finds that hundreds of
Republicans that voted agains
him before will vote for HIM this
time. This is gratifying to the
many friends of the Judge. 1t
is we'll known that Judge
Bethurum will make heavy gains
in all the other counties of the
district, and if his friends in
Wayne succeed in rolling up
majority tor bin, as now seems
certain, he win carry every
county in the district. Rock
castle and Pulaski will more
than double the majority given
him before, and Clinton will
surely go for him this year.
II is announced by Mr.. Niece,
district manager for Judge
Bethurum, that Hon. ]. Austin
Brown, of Wayne, will again
take the stump for the Judge.

OF Representatives
IN speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap.
plauded.
At one time" said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before II no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
--IlsA-+-a'-+'sr'tsrrocuc ruT1 yurlrIg Fig.
lahd TO grant independence to Ireland.
AT that time, also the Fillplnos were
knocking at your door. Out of the
womb OF war, many European repub-
Hes were born, and America has re-
Joiced TO uphold the same And yet
the claim of the Filiplnos Is still un-
needed. Must there he exceptions,
then, In international justice?
My plea. gentlemen of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests of n de-
serving people for an independence
That rlghtfully belongs to them. The
granting Of independence now affords
the United States golden opportunity
tn give to the world unanswerable
PROOF or It's sincerity, its consistency
ana its altruism. II will be the great.
est example Of square dealing In the
history of the ages.
DO not think we are not appre-
ciaifve of all you have done for us.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race in all
history. The high points OF the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altrulsm.
We know that you were actuated In
your labors by the desire to contrib
ute to our own welfare.
"And we love you perhaps most of
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself--our freedom. Independence is
our national ideal. II is our all alb
sorbing aim. II grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit Of nationalism
never dies. Much less can IL be SUBJ
dued. We believe that we can never
hope 10 be sturdy nation IL We are
the United States.'
Amerlcas task In the Philippine
Islands Is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation In
that part Of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys-
TEN OF Institutions has been trans
formed into conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that is modern In the
activities Of nations And II you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase thousand fold; II will
last forever II you keep faith with us.
There Is hut one issue In the Phil
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today n stable government on the Is.
lands? In the Jones law you promised
Independence upon the establishment
OF such stable government. Your
own Governor-General has officially
reported that there is a stable gov
eminent In existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
to substantlate its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America will
now carry out Its pledge"
