with no chance but to accept Mr.. Rob-
sion as the party's nominee.
Last Summer it was Mr. RobSion's
fate to sponsor a candidate for the Re-
publican congressional nomination In
the eleventh district who encountered
the fiercest kind Of opposition within
the party. The Robson candidate,
Charles Finley, was nominated and Will
be elected in November. But Demo-
Gratis hope that the bitter enmfties
evidenced in August may hold down

torial nominees own bailiwick.
Democrats are also hopeful as to the
situation in the tenth district, long the
stronghold of the Langleys, while Re-
publicans say they have reason to be-
lieve that In the normally Democratic
fourth district, represented by Re-
publican since the Hoover landslide,
they viii hold the ground gained in
1928.
Taken as q whole, Kentucky pros
poets seem to resolve themselves to this:
If the country Is in q mood to rebuke
the Hoover administration at the polls
to any considerable extent, Kentucky
very likely will go along with the rest,
for the conditions making for discon-
tent exist in this State. Evidence that
this discomfort will take expression at
the polls in votes for Democrats has not
been as clear in Kentucky as in some OF
the neighboring States, but the very
/ silence Of the voters may an omi-
nous sign.
