Democrats Hopeful for Ben W. Smith in Eleventh District
A Lexington Herald column argues Hon. Ben W. Smith has a real chance to win Congress in Kentucky's Eleventh District. It notes a strong Progressive challenger, Caleb Powers’ waning influence, and a Republican split that could aid Smith. Funds for the campaign would come from a one dollar popular subscription led by Col. Woodson May of the Somerset Journal. It also includes a testimonial from Mrs. Nancy M. Hanson about Dr Thomas Electric Oil.
