Democratic newspaper devoted to the ln--UMt
of the City of Columbia and the people
Adair and. adjacent counties.
Catered at the Columbia Post-office as sec
ad class mail matter.
WED. DEC, 3, 1913
The announcement of Hon.
Rollin-Hurt, of this city, as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Judge in this, the
3rd Appellate district, is received
with as much genuine enthu
siasm as any candidacy ever had
in this section of country. It is
not our disposition nor purpose
to play to the favor of any local
candidate, for any position, un
less convinced of his real merit,
but in this instance, were we
prone to exagerate, it would be
bard to convince the many who
&now him throughout South cen
tral Kentucky, that the truth had
been overstated. Born and rear-,
ed near Columbia, educated in
theM. & F. High School, he
studied law and was admitted to
the bar about thirty years
ago. Being a man of broad,
natural ability and equipped with
B thorough knowledge of law, he
soon took position in the front
st the bar in this and adjoining
counties which is attested by his
clientage not surpassed by any
lawyer in any country of equal
litigation. The lawyers of the
district and the entire State
.know him to be pre-eminently
fitted for the high position he
seeks. As a citizen he is a plain
man one of "the great common
people," dependable under any
and all circumstances with as big
heart as palpitates in human
breast. As a Democrat he is as
true to principle as any man and
while ready and willing to ad
vance his party's interest he has
never made himself offensive to
those who opposed. He possesses
the happy faculty of a hard-hit-;ter
and vote-getter. In fact, he
3s the peer of any man as a cam
paigner when the tug of war is
on and will add as many votes to
the cause he represents as any
one in the field of political battle-
We know him to be a law
yer possessing every attribute of
an able, honest, fearless Judge
n Judge who would not b e
swerved from duty by any pow
.erof the "interests" that too
ften wield an influence over
men of less firmness and less
legal ability. The Democratic
;party of this district could not
nominate a stronger man before
ine people, they could not name
.one more closely allied with the
great body, nor could they elect
one who would be truer, abler or
.fairer than our distinguished
townsman, Rollin Hurt. This
nartof the district, comprising
3.0 or 12 counties, his home, and
where he is really, truly known,
will deliver its Democratic votes
In' the primary solid for him and
if we mistake not the temper
ment of men and the pulse of
Democracy in this Appellate dis
trict he will occupy the exhaulted
position of Judge of the Court of
Appeals in the regular order of
political events and the Demo
crats will ever feel proud of it.
EXPRESSIONS ON MR. HURT'S
CANDIDACY.
Rollin Hurt, of -Adair county,
is prosecuting his canvass for the
Democratic nomination for Judge
of the Court of Appeals, in the
district now represented by Judge
J. P. Hobson, of Elizabethtown.
Judge Hobson has made a splen
did judge, but if the people of
that district desire a change,
they can do no better than to se
lect Rollin Hurt. He measures
up in every way to the high
standard required of a member
of the State's-supreme bench and
his host of friends in Lincoln and
adjoining counties would rejoice
to see him so honored. Stanford
Journal.
In the candidacy of Hon, Rollin
Hurt, of Columbia, for Judge of
the Court of Appeals from this
district, his opponents -have a
gentleman to reckon with. Mr.
Hurt is one of the noblest Ken
tucky gentlemen in the State and
is admired and asteemed where
ever he is known. His learning
and ability is unquestioned. He
is as strong as he is gentle. His
reputation is simply spotless.
No one can venture to intimate a
doubt of the absolute honesty of
this man who has been in the
eyes of the public for a quarter
of a century. Nor can any one
successfully dispute the simple
proposition that in the whole
district no one could be named
for Judge of the Court of Ap
peals who is better fitted by na
ture, by training and experience
at the bar for the duties, digni
ties and responsibilities of said
office, Mr. Hurt is just in the
prime of life and would grace
the tribunal to which he aspires
with distinction to himself and
credit to a marked degree to the
district. Campbellsville Times
