CLAIM BIG MAJORITY FOR SAMPSON: HEARD BY RACE OVER STATE
It is the opinion among white Republican leaders in Louisville and over the state that Judge Flem D. Sampson, Republican standard-bearer, will carry the state in the November election for Governor over former Governor J. C. W. Beckham, the Democratic candidate by a majority white vote exceeding that of every other previous race. It is their opinion that it is a progressive against a reactionary; a candidate who offers the voters a free school book proposition which is of interest and of benefit to every man, woman and child in the commonwealth against a race horse proposition which is of interest and of benefit to a doubting few. Little has been heard about the sentiment and opinion of the colored vote since the primary until now. It was reported during the week from colored leaders out in the state that wherever Judge Sampson has appeared in his speaking engagements since opening his campaign at Lexington two weeks ago that practically every colored household where there are persons of color of voting age has been represented. It goes without saying that Judge Sampson, one of the best friends of the race the Republican Party in Kentucky has ever produced will receive ninety-nine out of every one hundred colored votes in Louisville and over the state, if not one hundred out of one hundred. Taking up the cudgel where it left off at the close of the successful primary, the Leader will attempt to show beginning with next Saturday's issue just why Judge Sampson should be the next Governor of Kentucky and why every race voter in Louisville and Kentucky should go to the polls and do their sacred duty by voting and voting to make Judge Flem D. Sampson, their friend, a friend of all the people, a believer in all men up and no man down, the next Governor of Kentucky.

BISHOP REVERDY C. RANSOM OPENS BIG MEETING AT QUINN
Church And Race Leaders Of State And Nation In Attendance
The West Kentucky Conference of the A. M. E. Church is is its forty-seventh annual session at Quinn Chapel of which the Rev. Roscoe Conkling Henderson is pastor.
Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, the eloquent prelate of Nashville, Tenn., who is bishop over the 14th Episcopal District opened the conference Wednesday morning at 9 a. m.
The welcome services of the conference were held Tuesday evening at which time addresses were delivered by former Mayor Houston Quinn for the city and Messrs. J. R. Ray, I. Willis Cole, Wm. S. Brown, Prof. W. B. Matthews, Rev. J. A. Coxe, and other representatives of the church auxiliaries. The most appropriate music was rendered by the choir with special solo numbers by Mrs. J. H. Walls and Mr. G. Andrews.
Many Leaders Here; Bishop Clement Speaks
Not only is the church in the state represented by prominent men and women, but of the nation. Candidates for the highest honors in the church and leaders of the connection are here from practically every state of the Union, as is typical of the assemblage at Annual Conferences before the meeting of a General Conference.
The A. M. E. General Conference meets at Chicago next year. Many of the leaders are being heard in addresses and sermons by those who are taxing the big auditorium of Quinn Chapel to even standing capacity day and night.
On Wednesday evening Bishop Geo. C. Clement, of the A. M. E. Zion Church and Louisville's own bishop spoke to the conference. He returned the courtesy of Bishop Ransom who spoke at the A. M. E. Zion Conference at Broadway Temple last week as guest of Bishop Clement. The Bishop who recognized as one of the ablest leaders before the American public never in his life appeared before an audience to better advantage. He was great beyond words to express as he stirred and thrilled his most intelligent audience on the unification of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches and then a discourse on leadership--the qualities a leader should possess and the kind of confidence and loyalty the race should have in and for its leaders. Besides the reports of the pastors of the conference and other auxiliaries, many things of vital interest to the church are being taken. As the Leader goes to press the all important business of
