ANNOUNCEMENT.
3Tob Judge of Court of Appeals.
T7.E are authorized to announce
COLLIN HURT a candidate for Judge
of the Court of Appeals, in the Third
district, subject to the action of the
Democratic -voters, expressed at the
August primary.
In the race for United States
Senator, The News announced
its position six months ago. It
Las been the policy of this .pub
lication from its birth, nearly
Sixteen years ago, to fight no
party man in a primary election,
and that policy has been strictly
adhered to, and we feel all the
better for it. Some months ago
we stated, that in our judgment
former Governor Beckkam "was
largely the choice of the Dem
ocrats of Kentucky , for United
States Senator and we are of
(hat opinion still, basing our
iudgmentlon the expressions of
the Statejpapers that come to
this office, and also from answers
to questions made by traveling
men, who make Columbia. This
paper has stated time and again
that Mr. Stanley was able and
brilliant, and that he had made
an enviable record in Congress
and that he should continue to
represent the Second district in
the House of Representatives.
We also stated that it was Mr.
Beckham's time to be elected to
the United? States Senate, and
he could
Our opinion has
not changed, and we believe that
the result of the State primary
will verify said opinion. The
Democrats of Kentucky believe
that Mr. Beckham is entitled to
the nomination, and they are go
ing to show, that is, a large ma
jority of them, theirappreeiation
of his worth to the party by vot
ing for him at the August pri
mary . In our judgment Gov.
McCreary's candidacy will hurt
Mr. Stanley more than it will
Mr. Beckham, and that the lat
ter is not in danger; that his de
feat can not be brought about by
either of his opponents.
mind and body, just and fair to
all men, he has in him tHe mak
ing of a great Judge of our high
est Court, and his friends in this
county will rally to his support
in August with enthusiasm and
hearty good wishes for his suc
cess. Mr. Hurt was born in Adair
county which, until two years
ago, was part of the Eleventh
Congressional District that rolled
up 20,000 Republican majority.
Undismayed by this, however,
Mr. Hurt was on the stump in
every campaign battling for
Democracy, and now, for the
first time in his life, asks an of
fice at the hands of his party.
His opponent, Judge Hobson, has
been Judge for sixteen years and
has drawn from the State Treas
ury in that time eighty thousand
($80,000) dollars in salary and
now asks for another term that
will enable him to draw $40,000
more, or a total of $120,000 in
salary.
Rotation in office is sound Dem
ocratic doctrine and we very
much mistake the temper of the
Democrats of the Third Appel
late District if they fail in Au
gust to give Mr. Hurt a commis
sion as Judge of the Court of
Appeals', a position he can so
ably and worthily fill.

HON. R0LLIN HURT.
Campbellsville News-Journal.
In this issue of the News
Journal appears the announce
ment of Hon. Rollin Hurt, of
Adair county, as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Judge of the Court of Appeals
in the Third Appellate Court
District, at the August Primary
election. We know this an
nouncement will give pleasure to
Mr. Hurt's many friends in this
county, where he is so well
known and so greatly admired
for his integrity, his ability, his
lofty courage, his pleasing per
sonality and all those virtues and
graces that make him a man in
deed. Mr. Hurt has been a reg
ular practicing lawyer for thirty
years and his reputation at the bar
3a above reproach. Vigorous in
UNDER CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
Vera Cruz, April 30. Vera
Cruz went back to civil govern
ment to-day under the laws of
Mexico, administered by Amer
ican officials. The civil govern
ment, however, remained subor
dinate to martial law while the
work of restoring the municipal
organization went forward.
Gen. Frederick FwiBton's bri
gade trooped off the transports
and marched to the sandhill bar
racks and other quarters to re
lieve Rear Admiral Fletcher's
bluejackets, who went back to
the men-of-war. Funston estab
lished his headquarters in the
barracks deserted by Gen. Maas
and Fletcher withdrew his staff.
The marine corps was distrib
uted to work with the army.
Refugees continue to arrive
and preparations are being car
ried forward for their departure.
The navy transport Hancock to
day is lying at Puerto Mexico to
take aboard those coming down
from Mexico City. She will
bring them here for transporta
tion to New Orleans and other
ports on the transports Monterey
and Morro Castle.
Late last night the refugees
from Mexico City had not arrived
at Puerta Mexico. It could not
be learned where they were de
tained, but it is known that in
the surrounding country there is
,no evidence just now of Federal
activity. Consul Canada's ad
vices from Gen. Maas indicated
the latter was far inland and
close to Mexico City.
REPORTS NOT CONFIRMED.
Continued reports of renewed
fighting at Tampico, that the
battleships Utah and Florida
were being held in readiness to
sail and that the Dixie was load
ing with Marines for that port
all lacked official confirmation.
Official circles generally under
stood some ships might go to
Tampico when the crews were
full after the complete with
drawal of bluejackets from
shore.
Vera Cruz, roused from a trop
ical drowse by the street battle
and landing of foreign
forces, had gone back to its leth
argy, its dancing and its prom
enading throtgh the plaza.
There are no evidences here that
Mexico is in the throes of a cri
sis, torn within and pressed from
without. The shops, scarred by.
rifle balls, are busy again reap
ing the harvest of foreign inva
sion "gains.
Women, who hid in teror of
what they believed would be the
consequences of the landing of
foreign troops, walk again safely
abroad. Men who held closely
to walls in fear and danger of
snipers, now go boldly about
their business. The inhabitants
have taken a new and enlighten
ed view of. the Americans. They
have learned that the- troops
have come neither to loot nor
ravish, but to govern not harsh
ly, but well. ,
REVELATION TO MEXICANS.
The release of the prisoners
from the water-soaked dungeons
of Fort San Juan de Uloa, where
many came forth blinded from
years spent in darkness, was a
revelation of the character of
the attitude of the United States.
Mexicans of the better class
openly express gratification at
the restoration of ' order and the
resumption of business. But a
side from the fact that the troops
are here Vera Cruz knows little
and .only wonders when the inva
ders will leave or will go to Mex
ico City.
The progress of mediation is
entirely unknown 'here, but is
discussed with animation. Opin
ion among competent observers
is divided, some believing that
Huerta by accepting the proposal
for mediation in spirit as report
ed in Washington dispatches is
playing for more time for a sur
prise as he did in the Tampico
incident.
Shuttle trains continue to run
from Vera Cruz to the point
where Gen. Maas destroyed the
railroad to the capital and there
meet passengers from trains
coming down from Mexico City.
Consul Canada says that practic
ally all Americans in his district
have been accounted for.
COMMENDS HIS MEN.
Rear Admiral Fletcher's order
for the withdrawal of bluejack
ets, issued to-day, paid a high
tribute to officers and men, not
only for valor in action, but also
for orderly conduct and the re
sourcefulness which resulted in
the quick restoration of normal
living conditions for the citizens
of Vera Cruz. The Admiral per
sonally thanked his command
and declared:
"The highest honor is due
those who gave their lives in the
service of their country."
Among the wireless messages
reaching Rear Admiral Badger's
flagship was one from the cruiser
South Dakota, on the4west coast.
It said the cruiser had aboard
sixty-five refugees from various
points.
The Cuban gunboat Cuba -is
now anchored with the Ameri
can fleet. Her last visit here
was made when she came to take
away Francisco Madero, after lie
had been deposed from the pres
idency by the Huerta-Felix Diaz
agreement. The killing of Ma
dero prevented Cuba from- car
rying out her mission.
Gov. Kerr has been ransack
ing the civil offices, examining
books and accounts and inter
viewing men formerly connected
with the civil government, one
result being the discovery2!of
stamps representing 320,000
pesos. The stampscontinue in
use. An order is to be issued
that all business done since Ap
ril 21, in order that they may be
subjected to taxes accruing since
the occupation.
HOSPITAL IS ESTABLISHED.
The first military hospital was
established to-day in the prepar
atory school building. It ism
charge of Surgeon General Wil
liams, of the Third field hospital.
Dr. John Guiteras, of the marine
hospital service, is here in charge
of quarantine work.
The 700 sacks of mail about
the disposition of which Rear
Admiral Fletcher asked Wash
ington, have been delivered to
the Mexicans beyond the gap in
the railroad line. This done on
instructions from Washington.
Ensign Maddox, wireless offi
cers of the battleship Utah, who
has been connected with the sig
nal service ashore since the land
ing of the Americans, has demon
strated the feasibility of operat
ing wireless from a train. With
the appartus aboard he went on
one of the trains being operated
to the point where the track is
torn up and interchanged mes
sages with the ships and shore
stations.
The scouting work of aviators
over ana aoove vera uruz con
tinues, but the men in charge
are not permitted to carry their
investigations far into the inter
ior. Roy Wilson, ten years of age,
possibly regarded by his parents,
themselves refugees, as lost, is
here in charge of Consul Canada
and a few American women who
have undertaken his care until
he rejoins his parents. Roy liy
ed in Tampico and went to the
capital on a visit. He became
separated from his friends, but
arrived here safely on one of the
refugee trains. It was learned
that his parents meantime had
been taken out of Tampico with
other refugees and sent to Galveston.
