A CARD.
- ; Jamestown, Ky., April 21, 1915.
To the Republicans of the Twenty
Nlnth Judicial District:
It seems fitting now that I should
.make some public announcement con
cerning my position ..relative to the
Circuit Judgeship in this District I
have' received so many letters asking
nie to become a candidate fori the
nomination, and so many inquiries
Have beetr made as to my . intentions,
that it would be unfair longer to keep
silent.
This ia not exactly an announce
ment of my candidacy. That will
come later; if I am convinced that
such an announcement ought to be
made. However, I may say that I
had planned for myself an entirely
different course. I have no partic-
ular love "for the turmoil and the petty
jealousies of politics. I shall try to
keep aloof from any thing that would
engender these; but it will be with
genuine regret that I turn away from
the pleasures of private life and the
plans I have fondly hoped to carry
tout.
It is generally taught and believed
that in this country no one has the
right, without strong reasons, to dis
regard the call of his constituents to
public positions Sometimes men are
mistaken about being called, and
whether they are or not caq be deter
mited sometimes only by an election,
I only know that I havereceivedmauy
times more' solicitations to become a
candidate his .time than I ever;-did
before in my.life, and the demand has
been .so insistent and strong ,thatl
have been surprised no little. -
If the demand should contiuud.and
should prove to be not merely a", tem
porary wave but, on the other hand, J
the settled conviction of a large body,
of thoughtful Republicans, I shoujd
feel impelled to forego my own plans
and give up what seems to me ttje
most agreeable course, in order to
comply with the wishes of my fellow
citizens. s
If I shall become a candidate, so far
as I am concerned, the campaign will
be conducted with absolute freedom

Gid Words for Romic Judd.
The Georgetown Tigers have launch
ed out on the ' baseball sea, running
over Lexington 7 to 5, and also scor
ing a great victory over Ohio University-
That which makes this of es
pecial interest to this county and
community, is the fact that Mr. R.
D. Juddis managerand coach of this
team, which is the. highest honor to
be gained on the athletic field. The
following is taken from the George
town News: '
"He is worthy of his predecessor in
that he is clean, honest and square.
Coach Hinton has always been known
for such qualities and the college
prides itself on being able to fill his
place in this respect with such a man
as Mr. Judd. Then too professor
Judd has had considerable experience
coaching base ball. Besides being an
able coach he is a "corking good play
er" himself. Furthermore he is even-tempered
and naturally qualified
to direct and control men."
Mr. Judd is also President of the
Georgetown Y. M. C. A., and was se
lected from the large number of dele
gates to make the opening address of
the State Y. M. C. A. meeting at
Lexington. ,
