have decided to announce as a candidate.
I favor a lirlmary Election to deter
mine the nomination of the Demo

I believe It would be political suicide
for our Party to make the nomination
The fact that I own and operate In any other way. Only In a Primary

Hon. Campbell Cantrih, Candidate For Governor
teucky are farmers, and being one of laws at present regulating the busl
tjiem'l believe I know their trials and ness mid the every-day life of the
hardships, and that It I am elected people.
Governor I can be of service to them
kiid to the Stat,e as a whole, because
when the farmer prospers ail Jlne it
business share In that prosperity.
The chief problems to be solved In
Kentucky are n the main fit an rl
cultural nature, and Kentucky has not
lj.nii a farmer Governor for almost
fprty years. T.lie Governor of the
State can personally attend to but a,
stniall part of the State's business.
Most of the business of the State .is
actually transacted by those whom the
Governor appoints under the ilawi
Rinsed' by the Legislature. The busl
jHiss of organization is the chief duty
f tt-e Governor, and It is absolutely
ecvsviry for the welfare of the State
that the Governor work In harmony
with the State legislature and the or
ganizations of theMriuus State De
11,1 rfments. 'W1
In recent years I have been charged
with t'jie duty of setting thousand of
There Is a tendency In the country
today to keep piling on the statute
books laws regulating the business and
private affairs ,ot the' citizens. I am
of the opinion that It is the part of
wisdom that we learn our preseni
Ja.ws and ey them rather than n
bring into disrepute .all law by further
restrictive legislation.
If I dm elected Governor, all laws
on the statute books will be thor
oughly and" carefully enforced as far
as my powers will reach. The chief
cpnce'rn in th- State and Nation to
da s the strict enforcement of law
and the absolute maintenance of peace
and order. For the secdrlty of the
individual and for the protection of
property rights, law and order mnt be
maintained.
If efected Jovernor, I pledge tin
beat tha'k is .within me to carry out
this statement.
If elected, pardons will he scarce ,
wtata the revenue of the State, If II
(-eeeesary to do-o.
I am heartllv la faver of ttie con
struction of thlsBf ,iyateei jvMek
will closely tle together our people
In all aectlons of the Slate. As ,1
matter of fact, Kmuucklans do not
know each other its they should and
we have three distinct sections In our
Commonwealth. Many of our problems
.would be solved If the Mirce sections
of the State were linked together by
good roads, so that our people could
really know each other and work to
gether for the common good. I am
Informed by expert men wno nave
studied this question that this plan
can bo carried out without increased
taxation on existing property.
Good reads and good schools go to
gether jtnd every cltlzea .will .agree
that everything possible should be
done for tho education of our chil
dren. Ijvould like to see our public
schools the equal of those of any
State In the Union and I will work to
that end. I am also of the opinion
that every encouragement possible
should be given to our State Univer
sity and that It be placed on a plane
equal to the University of any other
State. If I am elected Governor I
will stay on the Job nnd give the State
a business administration, and the
best that Is within me.
If elected Governor, I will call to
my aid some of the leading busings
men In different lines and seek ther
counsel and support in solving the
many difficult problems which con
front our people. No man can solve
these prblems alone, and the can
didate who promises to do so Is the
worst type of a demagogue seeking
votes. If elected, I promise to'do the
very best I can with the counsel and
advice of leading men and women of
our Slate to solve our business dim
cuttle for the best Interests of tho
Commonwealth.
I tnter this race free from any
political promises and absolutely free
from any help or promise of help !n
anyway from any business Arm or
corporation anywhere.
It Is well known to the State thai
for years I have been an advocate of
cooperative organization among the
farmers. Farming is the chief busi
ness In Kentucky and I am delighted
that our cooperative organizations are
proving so successful. I congratulate
the bankers of Kentucky on the stand
they have taken In supporting the
Farmers' Cooperative Movement, and
as a farmer I thank them for their
help in our time of need. For the
past two years I huve been actively .it
work In the field to organize the
farmers, both In the Hurley Dl trict
and the Black Patch, and I trust I
will be pardoned when I state that I
have alwajs p.ild my own expenses In
these campaigns. This has been u
considerable sum for a man of my
limited means but I was glad to make
the contribution of both time and
means to help perfect our Farmers'
Organizations.
I believe In equitable and living w.iKes
for men nncl women In all lines of In
dustry 'Ihe best Interests of the Nutlun
me served when 'hose who labor own
their own homes ami can give their loved
ones not only the necessities of life but
tht comforts as will
I am unalterably opposed to the Injec
tion of partisan politics Into the manage
ment of the penal and charitable institu
tions of the State.
Under our present system of elections
we have an election In Kentucky eveiy
ear. Much money could be saved to the
tax-payers In registrations and elections
and the people relieved of much worry
If we consolidated our elections. I favor
any plan which will bring- about this
lesult.
I have the hlehest regard for the Uls
tlneulshed gentleman who has announced
as a candidate for Governor and for
those whose announcements I am In
formed will soon be forthcomlne. No
act or "Utterance of mine will mar the
campaten. We vive had entirely ton
much strife within .ur own party In the
nast and 1 am hopeful that the campaign
will be 'settled upon the merits of tna
candidates themselves ajid their Issura,
so that when the decision Is made wo
will ,s Into the Anal election with a
unlti Democratic -rwrty 1 ,am Inform
ed by many active -Democrats In all parts
of the State that If 1 am uomlnated we can
peqt to poll the ,tull vote oi ne i-ariy.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP IMPROVED
BY USE OF PUREBRED RAMS
Using purebred rams on the com
mon mountain bheep of Kentucky in
tests at, the Kentuek Agricultural
Experiment Station added all tho way
from three-fourths of a pound to
more than two and a half pounds of
wool to tho average of five pounds
which these animals generally shear
and in practically every Instance im
proved the quality of that wool, ac
cording to a new bulletin entitled,
"Breeding Experiment with Kentucky
Mountain Ewes," which has just
come off the press at the experiment
station of the College of Agriculture,
Lexington. Tho new publication sum
marizes tho results of experiments
that have been carried on by the sta
tion since 1915 to show how the n
tlve mountain ewes of the sUto
could be bred up with purebred rams,
Rams of the Rambouillet breed
should be given careful consideration
by Kentucky sheep men when they
are considering tho blood to use in
building up their flocks, the new bul
letin points out. This was found to
be the most satisfactory breed for Im
proving the mountain ewes. Ewes
from this cross produced heavier,
finer and more valuable fleeces nnd
when bred to purebred mutton rams
iiov nrnrlur.id market lambs of bet
ter quality and typo than the lambs'
from the common mountain ,o.wes.
Southdown, Cheviot and Hampshire
rams also wore used in tho experi
ment. The grade Hampshire lambs result
lug from crossing the mountain tywes
and purebred rams galued rapidly
and were rady for market sooner
than thoe from jxay of the other
Produce Review
Stocks of eggs remaining in stor
age In Chicago, New York, Boston
and Philadelphia reported December
21, as follows:
19221,148,000 cases; 1921772,000
cases; excess, 376,000 cases.
The market on storage eggs is a
little easier at the close of tho week.
Receipts of fresh eggs are a little
heavier and the market is closing
with lower prices prevailing than a
week ago.
There has been an exceptionally
heavy movement of live and dressed
poultry for holiday trade and prices
eased off, especially on live poultry.
Tho supply of dressed turkeys for
holiday trade was -generally larger
than expected and good stock sold
anywhere from 3 to 8 cents a pound
lower than for Thanksgiving trade.
This in a good many Instances rep
resented considerable loss to tlie ship
per. Receipts of cream at creameries
are holding up well, for this season
of the year, and the demand for but
ter about equals the supply, although
there was a little accumulation to

prices eased oft. Tho market at Chi-
