HON. L. z. GWINN MAKES
VISIT TO LEXINGTON.

Another Young Lochinvar has come
out Of the West and Wednesday made
his second visit to Lexington-Hon.
L. e. Gwinn, of Covington, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor. His former visit was in
1914, when he was here in the inter-
est of Gov. Tom C. Rye.
County Chairman, DR.. c. H. John
ston briefly introduced Mr.. Gwinn,
who was given an hour of time by
Judge N. R. Barham, holding the
June term of the Circuit court.
Mr.. Gwinn is the first candidate
who has a clearly defined plan on
which to run the State government.
He would abolish the present multi
tude Of departments and bureaus,
which have become so numerous that
they are said to be located all over
Nashville, land substituted therefor
nine departments, which would be ex-
pected to "put their heads together"
and make out an expense budget for
the bi-ennian period. He would abol-
ish the back tax system and The high
way uCpol oald tlidI Tic
highway department did not need
three heads any more than the State
needs three governors. He made lit
tie reference to his several oppon-
ents in the primary race but says that
two of them have appropriated some
of the planks of his platform-after
they saw they took well with the peo-
Pile.
Mr.. Gwinn makes an excellent
speech in its business parts and in
his peration, in which he pays tribute
to the remaining Confederate veter-
ans and to Woodrow Wilson, "The
Man Of Destiny" he grows eloquent.
His speech was we'll received and
after its close many went up to shake
hands and state endorsement of his
plan for State government.
The vote of Henderson county is, as
yet, unknown quantity in the guber-
material primary and if Mr.. Gwinn
gets his platform to the people, he
will stand an even chance to carry it.

big stack and assistance was sum
moned by telephone. The Newark
and Elkton fire companies respond
ed. and through their efforts a
