HH.XHERRY WITHDRAWS FROM THE
GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
To the Democrats of Kentucky:
A confusion of politics making results uncertain, the attempt to force
the state-wide prohibition issue into the campaign before the Democratic
party has expressed adesire or purpose to abandon the County. "Unit Law
to which it is now pledged, thereby muddying the political waters and en
dangering constructive legislation and party unity, and' limited financial
means prompt me to withdraw from the Governor's race.
t 'I entered the race with the deepest patriotic motives, silently and I
hope modestly feeling that if elected I could render my party and my state a
real service. I entered the race upon a platform that I believed to be a con
structive, moral and democratic program, and I have not had' occasion to
change my mind about a single plank in it. Every 'principle enunciated in
th&platform'addfn the Mayfidld speech, came from an earnest desire to
present a program of action for a greater Kentucky.
'It is true that my position an the temperance question has created some
discussion. No man who knows me, however, doubts for one moment my
loyalty to the temperance cause. I have never failed to give money and
moral support for its promotion. Without asking any citizen to surrender
his views on state-wide prohibition, I took the position that it would be bet
ter'lor the cause of temperance to operate under the County Unit Law,
which in its present form is but little over one year old, than it would be to
abandon it at this time for statewide prohibition. There are thousands
and thousands of noble temperance workers who believe as I do and who are
to-day resisting state-wide prohibition in the interest of temperance and are
regretting that efforts are being made to make it an issue during this cam
paign. Many believe that the effort is not at this time fundamental and
that it will divide the temperance forces, bring on a reaction and do harm
rather than good.
The difference-between the temperance people who believe we should
operate for the present under the County Unit Law and those who honestly,
want immediate state-wide prohibition is simply a difference of the beat
methods of securing temperance and not a difference of moral ideas or per
sonal loyalty to temperance. . t
My interest in establishing the state'sibusiness upon a sound basis, in
paying off its debt, in re-organizing its tax system upon a just and sound
basis and in interpreting into a greater Kentucky other things enunciated
in my platform, prompted me to enter the race., , t '
But the present situation convinces me that 'it would not justify one of
limited means, who is njt willing to accept material help from any source
that would, make him a tool in the hands of some one else; to continue in the
race and spend every dollar lie has and more in an effort to secure the nom
ination, in which effort he may fail, and when those things he holds to-be
at this time' paramount to the state's best interest and to, the, future wel
fare of his party .are being diveretedfrom their proper channels, making thpir
I am deeply gratef uMor the active and constructive interest that has
bsen taken in my race by my many .friends throughout the state. My heart
is warm with gratitude to 'every citizen ,whq has been interested in me. 1
am not unmindful of the devoted and able support of the thousands of for
mer students who have attended the school over which I have presided for
the past twenty-three years, and I assure all of them that their friendship
and the work they' have done are deeply, appreciated. I thank the press for
the numerous courtesies extended to me and for every act of interest shown
in my race.
I do jiot withdraw in favor of any candidate. I release all my friends
without any suggestion or intimation as to their future political allignment.
Most ' respectfully yours,
H. H. Cherry.
