REPUBLICAN YANK WINS IN KENTUCKY, IST IN 25 YEARS.

Louisville, Ky., August 4.—Election of King Swope, rpeublican, a returned soldier, in. the Eighth Kentucky district, to congress, in connection with Saturday’s primary, continued today to be a live topic in Kentucky political circles. It was the first time in twenty-five years a republican had been elected in that district. The seat was left vacant by the death of Harvey Helm, democrat. In the contest for the nomination of state officers today’s figures show a plurality of approximately 17,000 for Governor James D. Black, democratic incumbent, with the probability that it might reach 20,000.
