Two Withdrawals In Jailer Race June 27 1929
Edmonson County KyArchives News

The Edmonson County News
Frank Vincent and C. B. Penner Retire But Big Field Remains

      Frank Vincent and C. B. Penner, two of the entrants in the great race
for Jailer of Edmonson County this week announce their retirement from the
race.  Both of these gentlemen are employed at Kyrock and neither felt he
could afford to lose the time required to make a canvass of the county, at
this time.

      Mr. Vincent, in his letter to The News requesting that his
announcement be withdrawn, said "I am not pulling off in favor of any
candidate.  I want to be a friend to all candidates all over the county and
want their friendship.  I will wait until next time and then I think it
ought to be my time.  I thank the many friends who where helping me and I
believe they would have made a good showing on August 3.

      "My doors are open to all candidates.  Boys come and see me.  I want
the help of all the candidates four years hence, no matter what office you
are running for.  If you will help me then just write me and tell me so."

Penner Writes Card
      Esq. C. B. Penner, who was considered a strong candidate, though he
was late in announcing for jailer, writes the following card, which gives
his reasons for retiring from the race:  To the voters and citizens of
Edmonson County:

      After viewing the matter from every standpoint, I have decided to
withdraw my name from the race for jailer.  My reasons are:  I find that to
win the race I would be compelled to give a lot of my time and  to give up
my position with the Kyrock Asphalt Company, which I find it would no pay me
to do.  Thanking my friends and fellow Republicans for their kindness I am

Respectfully,

C. B. Penner
