Endorsement in the event opposi-
ton was given his candidacy by
Democratic aspirants, and al
ready two candidates have an
nounced. Those who best know
Judge Hurt are ready to say that
under no circumstances will he
allow his word to 60 to protest
and in this event he will retire
from the bench at the expiration
of his term.
The State cannot claim a bet
ter citizen, better informed law
yer or a more loyal, high-minded
son, He is entirely too impor-
tant an adjunct to the State for
the people to permit him to vol
unfairly retire from public SER
vice.
Down in the Western section
of Kentucky is to be found Judge
A. w. Barkley, First District
Congressman, who would make
an admirable candidate and a
great Governor, but those in
position to know insist that under
no circumstances would he con-
sent to enter the race.
With all others eliminated, the
people should experience little
difficulty in convincing Judge
Hurt Of his plain duty. If left to
US to suggest the plan we would
revert to the good old fashioned
convention, where the Democrats
in all counties could meet on an
appointed day and unanimously
endorse Judge Hurt as the Dem
ocratic standard bearer. A day
or so later the convention could
assemble in Louisville, ratify the
action of the counties and then
name his running mates in con-
formity with location and fitness
for the various places to be filled.
Judge Hurt could not with
stand state uprising, and once
in the field he would make the
greatest campaign known to
Kentucky since the open ballot
was shelved to make room for
the Australian system. He is a
big man mentally and physically,
void of the circumference which
for a lack of any other name is
called policy" and can abso-
luteIy make a fool of a parrot in
a talking game.
If Senator Thomas J. Hefiin, of
Alabama, lived in Kentucky he
would have been nominated and
elected governor of Kentucky
twenty years ago, and reelected
at every election when the Con-
stitution would permit, yet he
has nothing on Judge Hurt as a
campaign speaker. Senator Hef-
lin has laughed the opposition
out of the running in half the
States of the Union as a cam.
paign orator, while Judge Hurt
has been content to remain in
the background. On two occa-
sions he was elected to a county.
office in his home county, and his
present seat on the Appellate
bench covers his whole career as
a public servant.
Those of US who want to see
the State return to the Demo-
cratic fold, not for any political
pickings which the change would
bring to US, but for the good of
Kentucky and her people, would
delight to see the nomination for

The Durbin twins, Ralph and
Robert, the 7-year-old sons of Mr.. ana
Mrs. George Durbin, 11O2 North jack
son street, allowed their love Tor
this noon, and took team and de
livery wagon belonging to the EX-
change grocery store from sixth ave
nue. and Quincy street. 1t was their
sixth offenSe of the kind.
The fact that the horses are VICIOUS
and can be handled by only one or two
of the Exchange dehverymen, meant
nothing in the young lives of the
twins. They merely holsted the
weight INTO the wagon, climbed in and
started at high speed eastward on
Sixth avenue. One of the men from
the grocery store overlook them on
the East Sixth avenue viaduct ana
called T. D. Williams, county proba-
ton officer. Williams took them TO
his office in the court house.
The boys had been in the custody
of the probation officer on five other
occasions for similar offenses. They
threatened. They have been pleaded
with, and two or three times have
been imprisoned in the county deten-
ton home for periods of a few days,
during which they cried constantly.
But once free again they sought out
and stole another horse.
Mr.. Durbin is not financially able
to move to a farm and get his boys
a horse. One man offered to make
them a present of a Shetland pony.
but the father declined to let them
have it on the grounds that he is not
properly situated to keep a horse. lie
bought them a dog. but that wouldn't
do. They must have a horse. 1t is
mania with them.
Today they faced a term in the .e-
form school as the only solution of
the problem. 1t was not definitely
decided. however. that they would be
sent to the reform school. The Off
GERS strive to take into consideration
their future, and what a reform school
term would mean to them. So late
this afternoon the officers and the
boys parents were doing lots of
worrying and wondering, but APP
peared as far as ever from the solu-
ton of the problem.
