Long live The Madisonian for its fear
less position on the whisky and the vote
selling proposition. It peals out in no un
certain tones when dealing with those
twin destroyers of the manhood of the na
tion. If every newspaper should nail those
principles to its masthead, those monsters
could be more effectively combatted. The
Madisonian's subscription list should be a
comple directory of the sober,' law-abiding
citizens of Madison county and all other
counties as well. Some day the good peo
ple will rise up in their might and say to
these demons, "down with your infamous
work," and when public opinion rises in
its wrath, woe unto the candidate who
does not heed the admonition.
May The Madisonian live to see its
righteous effort crowned with success.
(Thanks for your very kind words.)

To the Democrats of Madison

''
College Hill, Ky.,
July 21, 1913.
It is with great reluctance, that 1
find it necessary to defend for the
second time, in my race for the Demo
cratic nomination for Superintendent
of Schools, the legality of my certifi
cate of eligibility to that office which,
has been questioned by one of my op
ponents namely. H. H. Brock. 1 re
gret that this opponent for whom 1
entertain the kindest feeling and the
highest respect, should endeavor to
discredit an opponent, who is a candi
date for the office whom he well knows
to be equally capable, both from the
standpoint .of education and expert
ence, ana equally quannea leany,
avoiding the technicality of a sentence
in an ola law, which, in the judgment
of the Superintendent of Public In
Sufuction Barksdale Ham let t himself,
does not render illegal the certificate
held by myself.
The new law of 1912 covering the
eligibility of candidates for this office
reads as follows: "There shall be a
county superintendent of. common
schools in each county of the State
who shall be possessed of good moml
character and ability to manage the
common school interests of the county
efficiently. He shall possess a good
English education and shall be com
petent to rxamine the teachers who
shall apply to teach the. common
schools in the county. He shall be
twenty-four years old at the time of
qualifying, a citizen of Kentucky,
shall have resided two years next pro
ceeding the election in this state and
one year in the county for which he is
a candidate. No person shall be eligi
ble to the office ot county superintend
ent unless he hall hold from ihe State
Board of Examiners, a State diploma
or a State cerlincate wnicn win not
expire during his proposed term of
office; or a certificate of qualification
which shall in all. respects, be the
equivalent of a State certificate issued
by the State Board of Examiners, on a
personal examination held at the State
Capitol on the last Friday and Satur
day in May and June next preceding
the election of County Superintend
nts."
This act was signed by the Governor
on March 18 1912, is the present law
governing the qualification of candi
dates for the office of superintendent of
common schools.
I hold a State Certificate issued to
ma by the State Board of Examiners,
three years ago, which does not expire
until 1918, or six months atter the
expiration of the term of office, for
which 1 am a candidate.
The original certificate is in my pos
session; there ts a public record or it
in the office of the State Superintend
ent at Frankfort, which has been certi
fied by that office, and heretofore pub
lished. 1 desir also, in this cor.nec
tion, to quote from a letter dated July
19, 1913, addressed . to myself, and
signed by the Superintendent of Public
Instructions which fully shows the
legality of my certificate, and that he
concurs in' my view of the matter.
"Any State certificates issued by the
State Board of Examiners is legal in
any county, as long as the local County
Superintendent allows it to remain in
force. :;: - : '
For your guidance in the matter of
the legal qualifications of a candidate
for County Superintendent, 1 quote
from the act of 1912: "No person shall
be eligible to the office of County Su
perintendent, unless he shall hold
from the State Board of Examiners, a
State certificate, whica will not expire
during the proposed term of office, or a
certificate of qualification which shall
in all respects, be the equivalent of a
State certificate issued by the State
Board of Examiners, etc."
Your certificate does not expire dur
ing the proposed term of office and as
long as it is adjudged a legal certificate
by the County Superintendent of your
county, you are legally . qualified to
hold the office of County Superin
tendent." j ,
The original of this letter can be seen
by anyone desiring to see it.
M regret exceedingly that it is neces
sary for me to thus defend my right
to be a candidate, in doing so I have
been careful to say nothing ofFensive
about my opponent, wtio as so far
forcotten himself as to attempt to dis-
i credit one whom he knows if not only I
c 1
' well qualified, and a good Democ tat,
but one who shall be pleased to sup
port the nominee of the party for this
I'
office, 'whomsoever It may be.
I have been a teacher in this and ad
joining counties for approximately
twenty years, and believe the bet in
terests of the common schools of the
counjty are as well known to me as to
either of the wo opposing candidates.
As to my .moral character,, you are
most respectfully referred to my neigh
bors, and the patrons of the schools
where I have taught. : .
Thanking one and all for the gener
ous support so kindly given me In my
race thus far, 1 now desire to ask you
to redouble your energies in the in
terest of my candidacy. '
; Very Respectfully,
B. F. -Edwards.

The Kentucky Utilities Com
pany Announce Free Elec
tric Fan Service to .
v Invalids'
Free electric fan service for. the
benefit of the sick is offered to
the public this summer by the
Kentucky Utilities Company, ac
cording to Mr. Geo. Bogard, the
Local Manager. The offer the
Company makes in effect is that
electric fans and, where necessary,
the current to operate, will be
furnished without cost to persons
seriously ill who are unable to
pay for the service. The only
conditions are that the attending
physician must certify to the rea
sonable necessity for fan service,
and to the patient's inability to
afford it The offer, of course,
applies where the sick room is
within reach of the Company's
lines. '
"The reason for making condi
tions of any kind is for the ob
vious purpose of protecting the
free electric fan for the use of
those who really need it and can
not afford it," says Manager Bo
gard. "It is a public welfare
proposition and is evidence of the
general policy of our Company.
No hard and fast rules are in
forced regarding the free' service,
our aim being to make it do as
much good as possible. During
the summer months there are al
ways cases where the use of an
electric fan greatly improves the
condition of the patient, and
sometimes represents the narrow
margin between life and death.
"This, offer has been made and
received with approval and at
once utilized by the physicians in:
other cities where our " Company i
operates." 29-2t
