Judge ’lex L. Ratliff,
Fruuifort, Ky.

fear Judge:-

.bnut two weeks ago I was in Laintsville End while there
had a nice isit ﬂith Jim Turner. At that tire be told me that
he bud attended four Lincoln dinners within the week; that it
‘:is his undiretanding that Hurry fancy would be u cauoiiatc for
Judie of the Court of ﬁppcals, if he could get the nomination
without a contest, hut otkchise not; that in Louisville it'ﬁos
tho uiieretlwding that Juige Cuxpsoﬁ wouli be e cuuiidete. I have
5331 Larry on two Eifferent jays this week, n31 I QSt the inform&
tion terudi the gentleaon whom I mentioned to you as considering
being a dexocrotic candidate that Harry stated to hi: that he was
going to be a Cinﬁiiete,”ith or 1Without o-;orition. Cur friend
throz u; his h;nis aoi told me he would not be a einﬂiﬂnte after
I stitod to him the comiitions in the Cumberlamd Valley.

In my Judgaent, you can win over either Airry or Judge
iamgson, on? your work there has been of such on outstanding na-
ture that you should vithout question be re-electco.

it occurs to me thit if Q.rry and Judge iom;son are in a
COHtest for the FwyUbliCiﬂ noxinetion in fugust, ﬁnd if you have
no douocretic c}3osition, that it would grobcbly be oisier to
win over both of them in the primary, when they will be dividing
the Vote between them, than it would be in 'ovember, to fight
either of them as tho reiublican nominee; in other words, it
might Le a good idea for you to file reisonably curl; for the
democratic nomination, and then at the last minute to file for
the ro,uolicoa nomination as well. Of course. I do not give
much attention to politics, and before deciding on such a course
you should consider it well and secure the idvice and better
Judgment than mine of such friends as Dan Talbott, job Tumphreys,
Lack Justice, Herb Smith, and others.

f was in iikeville last night and had a nice visit with
Zack for about one and one half hours, during which time your
interests were discussed at length.

3est personal wishes,

Very truly yours.

Dear Joe,
I was sure glad to hear from you. It has
been "A Long, Long Trail" since Old Man J'. P. Nelson's
Engineering Corps marched into Prestonsburg 1n the
fall of 1899, but I will never forget the kindness
of your Dad and the Herkins family.
Best personal regards.

Dear Sir:
Your letter of lay lSth, 1:40 received, and I note
what you Have to say about serving as special judge.
If I have application for special judge in that
end of the state I should be glad to desijnste you,
since, in the first place, I know your services are
entirely satisfactory to hot' the legal profession and
the people generally, and secondly, I am sure you can
be of great advantage to ne in ny race.
In regard to Joe Kobson. He felt out the situation
among the Democratic lawyers at the Bar Association
at Louisville and they all discouraged him. On
Londay after the Bar associati n Joe wrote me a letter
stating that he would not be a candid te and would
actively support me. wince that time i have heard
nothing more said about the hatter.
Very probably Flem D. Sampson will be my Opponent in
the November election unless soweth'ng out of the
ordinary should develope whereby I would receive both
nominations. However, I do not consider this probable,
but a mere possibility only. However, it is not so
material to me who my opponent may be, since my chance
lies largely with the success or failure of the lead of
the ticket. It appea:s to me now that our section of the
state will :0 Dezocratic in Hovenber this year. I
think my chances to be elected are more than fifty-fifty
in my favor. Iﬁ fact, a certain situatidn is likely to
develops whereby my election would be assured.
Speaking further of Sa1pson. I have assrrance of
powerful Republican organizations as well as individuals
being afainst him. he is mixed up in rival Republican

Hon. Roger Tomack, ‘
Carlisle. Ky. .
Dear Roger:- ' '

I have checked all the books. and nowhere have I been able to
find where the phrase "Christian Burial" has been judicially de-
fined; however. in 14 C. J. S. 1115. I find that "Christian Life"

' is defined ‘
"As usually and generdlly used, the phrade hes been
held to mean a respectable, mordl life in accordance
with the established laws and customs of d civilized
Christian country”-- Citing Pa-—Eenakkie's Estate,
2;; Pa. Dist. 54, 59. .
and paraphrasing. ”Christian Burial" should properly be interpreted
as a respectable burial in accordance with the established laws
and customs of a civilized Christian country. In fact, I believe
it should even go further and be in ascordance with the customs
of the community in the vicinity of which the decedent resided, of
‘ the church of which he was a member. and of the usual burial given
people of the same station in life. both social. religious and fi-
nancial, by members of their family. ,

This of course is strictly in line with the suggestions I made
to you Saturday evening at the Bankers' Group meeting; and I trust
will bozof some assistance to you.

Ky best wishes.

Very truly yours.

 KENTUCKY HOME LIFE BUILDING
LOUISVILLE,KY.
August 1, 1940
MT. Jos. D. Harkins,
Prestonsburg,
Kentucky.
Boar Mr. Harkins:

I am taking the liberty of suggesting that in this
period of National Emergency it would be wise for us to keep a
man in washington like the Hon. A. J. May. Mr. May is Chairman
of the Committee on Military Affairs, which is one of the most
important in the Congress, and reflects credit to Kentucky by the
manner in which he has performed his duties in this particular
regard.

These days what distinguishes a democratic form of
government from the dictatorship is the voluntary efforts of the
citizens. Unfortunately, it is going to be necessary for all
of us to pay more taxes, probably enter into military service
and do many other things which we under tranquil world conditions
would rather not do. Our freedom of action will temporarily be
very much restricted.

It seems to me the main thing we want to be sure of
is that we have men representing us in Congress like Mr. Nay,
who when the emergency is over will return to us our rights as
free citizens and not let the Government develop along ﬂie lines
of most of the other countries in the world.

All of the people who are in business life must learn
it is going to be necessary for us to put forth a real effort to
work out a preparedness program, and with that thought in mind, I
am respectfully calling the name of A. J. May to your attention.
