This law Is not what Is claimed for It, n "Protection to Lite Stock." 'J his law makes It to one's mlvantiiKC to not know whose dog killed or In jured stock. It therefore protects the "Sheep-killer" and not the sheep. 2. It taxes the Innocent dog as well as the guilty. Law Is supposed to protect the Innocent and punish the Kullty. II.

The Kastern sec tions of the State have rapidly In creased in population, as well as In wealth in recent years, until the pres ent apportionment is out of all pro portion. Every section of the State is enti tled to exact Justice and no more and the patriotism of this 20th century will not sanction an apportionment that innkes ONK man in one section equal to K1VK In another. Fourth Education. Kvery child In the "Old Kentucky Home" deserves Just as good nil op portunity ax any i other child, nry where In the world. If not already supplied, the follow ing is our educational need: A good school house in every dis trict. A good teacher in every school. Good books la the hands of every child, nnd every child in school. A good State Superintendent A good County Superintendent In every county. And last but not least, good pay for every teacher. FlUbGoo Roads. With proper economy and business foresight, we should build and main tain good roads and" highways in every section of the State, at the earliest date possible. While It may be right to levy a good portion of the expense of road build ing upon the automobilistfl, why not levy 80MB upon almost untaxed wealth Bank Deposits? "Sixth.

As your public servant for the past eleven years, I have done my very best, and I will leave it to your judgement, whether or not I have been faithful to the trust you have imposed in me. If I have not I do not desire your support. I enter this race and solicit your support upon my record as one of your public officials. There ore evils existing in this county which if not checked will sooner; or Inter destroy the very foundations of our peace and happiness. I shall take a firm stand against these things, not only in word, but by act and deed. There should be no such thing as compromise with crime. Suffrage has been granted to women as a great weapon. I most earnestly solicit their support ; and I promise that if nominated and elected to give them the full pro tection vouched safe to them by the law. I am for public improvements so far as our means will permit, always remembering that we are a poor people and that taxation, though it be for a good purpose, can become a burden. Good sound judgement must be used in spending the people's money. I promise a reform in the system of handling the finances of the county. I will give you my methods later. I promise to treat all candidates for whatever office they, aspire with due courtesy. I shall refrain from dirty politics. Any kind word spoken by any one in my behalf will be greatly appreciated.
