There will be no candidate for Circuit Judge on the Socialist ticket, as there is not a man n the party that is qualified to take the office under the constitution of Kentucky. One of these requirements is that he must be a practicing attorney for eight years.
Rev Thomas McGrady of Bellevue, will be chairman, it is said, and the nominations to be made will be Circuit Clerk, State Senator and two representatives, on from the Eighty-fourth and one from the Eighty-third Legislative District.
