an article from Harlan county in the Louisville Herald claiming that Harlan county was overwhelmingly Bull Moose Mr Powers replied I want to say to my friends over the district and state that they need not pay any attention to the reports sent out by my enemies If the public had paid any attention to them I was badly beaten before and yet when the vote was counted the whole country was surprised at the majority I received It will be the same way time To a packed court house of voters at Harlan I asked all those who wanted to permanently leave the Republican party and join the third party to raise their hand and not a man in that court house full of people raised his hand I will easily get of the Roosevelt vote in Harlan county and I am sure that this is true of nearly all the counties in the district While Col Roosevelt has a host of friends in the district they are at the same time my friends and will vote for me It is not the intention of one out of 500 of those in the district who vote for Roosevelt to permanently leave the Republican party and on the 5th of November they will cast their votes in such a way as to still remain Republicans All this will be made clear

indorses It is that all parties unite in supporting Circuit Judge A J Kirk for the vacancy on the Court of Appeals bench caused by the resignation of Judge E C O'Rear which was filled by the appointment of Mr Robert H Winn by Governor Willson Judge Kirk is an ideal selection and is sure of nomination and election no matter what happens in Kentucky or the Nation but his indorsement by all parties would have a good effect The Post says on this The retirement of all other candidates makes certain the nomination by the Republican party of Judge Andrew J Kirk of Johnson county for the vacancy upon the Kentucky Court of Appeals to be caused by the retirement of Judge R H Winn in November Mr Kirk is now a Circuit Judge and one of the best in Kentucky The district is so overwhelmingly can that even in this year of certain Republican disaster the Republican nominee should win easily Moreover Jadge Kirk is of the material out of which Appellate Judges should be made The Democratic party will do a graceful act in not con- testing the election and Wilson Taft and Roosevelt men can all unite in the promotion of this Judge READ ABOUT THIS BARGAIN Ralston Ky M Carr George Tinsley
