MR. GARNETT'S CARD.
Leuisville Post.
Mr. James Garnett, the Attor
ney General of the State, yester
day announced that he will no,t
sesk the Democratic nomination
for Governor, but will devote the
remainder of his term to dispos
ing of the important business
that remains in his department
to be handled, and will at the
expiration of his term return to
Columbia to practice his profess
ion. As Attorney General during
the last three years, Mr. Garnett
has done a large amount of pub
lic work of a lasting character,
and he will leave that office de
serving, well both "of the State
and of his party. It has - hfRn
frequently contended that the
post of Attorney General Bhould
be made appointive at the hands
of the Governor, with a success
ful Attorney General, of course,
eligible for re-appointment.
There is much to be said in fa
vor of such a plan, but any Gov
ernor would find difficulty in se
curing as the chief law officer of
the State a man who would serve
with more ability, energy and
success than has Mr. Garnett.
who was elected by the people
three years ago.
Under the head of Russell
County Announcements, it will
be seen that Mr. Lee A. Lawless
is a candidate for re-election to
the office of Circuit Court Clerk,
subject to the action of the Re
publican voters of said county, as
expressed at the August primary.
Mr. Lawless was born and
reared near Owensby, but for
the last twelve years he has re
sided in Jamestown. He has
been an active Republican since
and before he was twenty-one
years old, and is widely known
throughout the county. He is
now, by election filling out the
unexpired term of N. B. Faulk
enburg, who was elected circuit
court clerk five years ago, resign
ing after he had been in office
about two years. Mr. Lawless
is a very popular gentlemen, and
has made a very efficient officer,
and he respectfully asks that his
record be endorsed by the Re
publican voters of his county.
Some years ago he was a candi
date for Sheriff and was defeat
ed by a small majority. There
are a great many voters of Mr.
Lawless' name in Russell county,
but they, have not been office
seekers,- neither have they failed
to vote the Republican ticket at.
each election. Mr. lawless asks
that you give his candidacy due
consideration, and if you believe
that he is a worthy, upright genr
tleman, he would be very grate
ful for your support in the primary,-promising
that if nom
inated and elected, not to violate
the trust imposed in him. He
hopes to see all the voters before
August.
During the next Legislature
much important business will
come before the body, hence it is
very necessary that experienced
and learned menlbe the Repre
sentatives. Adair and Cumber
land make one district and it is
largely Republican, making it al
most impossible for a Democrat
to be elected. There is not a
doubt but a Republican will be
sent to the Legislature from the
district. The Republicans could
not make a better selection than
Judge H. C. Baker, who knows
the laws now in the statutes
and who has had experi
ence as a legislator. We do not
know whether or not Judge Ba
ker woul d consent to make the
race, but we do know that he is
a fine gentleman, well qualified
for the position. He was born in
Cumberland county where he is
personally knon, hi '- -zz hav
ing been in Columbia for mj
than forty years..
Attorney General James Gar-
nett, of Columbia, writes a letter
to the Adair County News this
week, in which he states that he
will not be a candidate for the
democratic nomination for Gov
ernor this year. This will be
quite a surprise to many of Gen.
Garnett's friends who had count
ed on him as a sure entry. He
is one of the ablest officials of the
State government at Frankfort,
and would have had a wide fol
lowing had he entered. The tip
is out, however, that his declina
tion to enter the Gubernatorial
race, is a certain indication that
he will be a candidate for con
gress in the Eighth district nxt
year. Stanford Journal.
Col. E. W. Lilliard, one of the
four Democratic Representatives
who were given widespread noto
riety when they voted for W. 0.
Bradley over Gov. J. C. W. Beck
ham for United States Senator,
committed suicide at Danville,
last week, by shooting his brains
out.
The Pinnacle News of, Middles-
4
boro says: In an authorized
statement in his home paper,
Adair County News, Attorney
General James Garnett lets it be
definitely known he will not be a
candidate for the Governorship
in the August primary. It is a
source of regret to the many
friends of the Attorney General
throughout the State and espec
ially in the Eleventh district,
where his friends are legion,
that he has decided to not make
the race, as he was sure of a
large vote in the mountains. He
is eminently fitted for the posi
tion and would, had he been suc
cessful, have made an honest
an efficient public official, some
thing that Kentucky must pro
duce to keep apace with the
progress of other states.
The Blue Grass Clipper, which
is published in the home county
of an announced candidate says:
"Attorney General James Gar
nett has announced his determi
nation not to run for Governor.
He sets forth his reasons there
for in a le:ter to his home paper,
the Adair County News, and
which was made public on Mon
day. Mr. Garnett's decision
will be a disappointment to many
friends in this county who want
ed the privilege of voting for
him."
