REPUBLICAN, ELECTED CCvE2-
NJN OF KENTUCKY

Louisville, KY, NV. 9.-Running
far ahead of his ticket in several
large counties, Flem D. Sampson,
Republican, today had a commanding
lead of more than 5000 votes over
j. C. w. Beckham, for governor of
Kentucky.
With reports missing from three
counties none of which could ma
terially affect the result and scattered
precincts yet to report in number
of other counties, Judge SIMPSONS
vote was 334,017 to 324, sos for his
Democratic opponent.
The Democratic chairman, Thomas
S. Rhea, claimed the state for Beck
ham by more than 10000 and charged
that irregularities had been observed
in number of places. He did not dis
close the source of his information.
The Republican committee was claim
ing victory for sampson by $4,000.
Returns from the horse racing CEN
ters in the state showed Judge Samp-
son, called by the Democrats the Ken
lucky Jockey Club candidate, rolled
up convincing majorities over Mr..
Beckham, who made his opposition to
the pari-mutual betting law the major
issue of his campaign. In most of the
counties affected Beckham was far be-
hind his own ticket and the very
meager returns from the other con-
tests on the state ticket showed most
of the races to be close.

turned to the Republican column after

SECOND BAPTIST S. S. TRIBUTE

Richmond, Va, Oct. %, 1927.
Truly can it be said that on Thurs
day morning when the summons came
for Mrs. Gertrude L. Washington to
join that innumerable caravan that
moves to the pale realms of shade,
where each shall take his chamber
in the silent halls of death, she GER
tainly did not go like the quarry
slave at night, scourged to his dun
geon, but sustained and soothed. like
one who wraps the drapery of his
couch about him, and lies down to
pleasant dreams, for such was her end.
Deepest Sympathy
The Second Baptist Sunday School
takes this method to express deepest
sympathy to members of the family,
in this their bereavement, but COM
mend them to God who is just, and
has only taken out of this world of
sorrow one who has learned to love
and serve Him.
For a number of years, she has
been a conscientious, ardent worker
in our Sunday School; always striving
to reach marks of efficiency, for she
was Superintendent of the Primary
Department, having taught in the
same Department until i'll health over
took her a few months ago, any task
assigned, could always be counted on
as accomplished, when she was ap-
preached. She never complained, for
we were not cognizant of her illness
until she was absent.
