Kentucky Democrats are assuring the country that their state will certainly cast Its electoral vote for the Democratic presidential ticket in 1908. The recent defeat of the Democratic state ticket is shown to have been due i i to the refusal of dissatisfied Democrats to vote. Four years ago Beckham. Democratic candidate for governor, received 229,000 votes as against 202,000 received by Belknap, the Republican candidate. This year Hager, Democratic candidate, received only 193,000 as against 210,000 cast for Willson, Republican. The falling off in the Democratic vote was 37.000, while the Republican gain of 8,000 was made in Louisville.

John H. Terhune, of Anderson, has announced that he will not seek reelection as Republican chairman for the Eighth district, on the principle that no one mixed up in the troubles of the ditsrict should be elected for that position.
