' A BUSINESS MAN FOR GOVERNOR iFrom Wilmore Enterprise) Speaking of al business man for Governor, what is the matter with fudge; W. R. Shackelford, of Richmond, Circuit Judge, who has.'dcn)onsU"d : exacting office in a ma confidence of those; isteied impartially, fj lore mm t - Pi I f administering-! Jr law si if according to the letter and inteut.is indeed a business and we hold that it is the highest and most vital business in, this government t'day then Judge Shackelford measures up to the full require. nents of a business man. For this judge's" court represents the best traditions of duty and enforce ment of its demands. Judge Shackelford .wears no collar 'on or off the bemh. Nobody knows this better than his personal friends. He only knows his duty as he sees it in a peculiarly clear and forceful manner. A just and well informed judge, who may and does temper justice with reasonable ar.d proper meny, but who knows neither .class nor distinction before his bar he has won favor in his own circuit, and far beyond it, as an upright, fearless, competent man to whom duty is a guide and its enforcement a law. He bar, thus won the' respect and confidence of men and women who believe a clean judge is the last resort for citizenship. And what is the Governor of this, or any other state, but a judge who measures and balances. His decision is the final word in a large part of the questions that rise up to , help or vex a people ; whose ability to decide rightly, and whose nerve to enforce decision, make the State executive a lever for good government. And what business training is better for this position than the large experience gained on a bench where all sides of a case have to be presented, where study and knowledge of each case is essential and where de cision must be made impartially and without regard to per sonal desires or political demands. . We have watch od Judge Shickelford's course ' on the bench and have noted the confidence it has inspired in the clean-cut. straight hewing to the line of duty it has exempli fied. We have been -struck 'With the unprejudiced adminis tration of his office and the respect it has inspired in his court W'e believe his ability is unquestioned and his integrity un disputed. We further believe that such training as his office gives, added to this ability and integrity, is an excellent business asset for thc duties of a governor unfettered by al liance and free from any entanglements or machines. This article is written without the knowledge, and so far as we know, the consent of Mr. Shackelford, lie has given no evidence, to -ur knowledge, that he wants the office of Governor.. or would be a candidate for it. Nevertheless it is written. It is the expression of the editor of this paper as his belief, that if the people of Kentucky really want a good "business man" for governor, here is one. and this paper, with the light that it now has, would be glad to give him such support as' it might in the event he became a candidate before his party. j, R, CHEN AULT WRITES . .. . . .. r ON DRYQUESTIONh The Lexington Herald had:al interesting letter, froi. ! , verv interesting letter, iroi. : l?UCI ' Jud'-c John C.
