Tarberry Announces For Commonwealth Attorney. Major M. Rey YARBERRY, whose
announcement for Commonwealth's Attorney of the 29th Judicial District,
subject to the action of the Republican primary appears in this issue,
is fitted by training and actual experience for the office he seeks.
He was educated in the common schools of Adair County, the Columbia
Christian College and the Columbian University of Washington D.C., the
instructors in law at the latter school being former Supreme Court
Justices HARLAN, BREWER and VANDEVENTER. He was admitted to the practice
of his profession in 1904. Major YARBERRY was born in Adair County, and
represented Adair and Cumberland Counties in the General Assembly of
Kentucky, being the youngest member of that body and the only Republican
on the Goebel-Taylor Contest Committee in 1900. The following year he was
appointed a Record Clerk of the House of Representatives and entered the
Secret Service of the Internal Revenue Department in 1907, serving until
President Woodrow WILSON's administration. He also served as Chief of
Detectives of Louisville KY six years. During these years Major YARBERRY
prepared and assisted in the prosecution of thousands of criminal cases
in both federal and state courts, practicing in 21 different states.
It goes without saying that he is eminently qualified for the duties of
Commonwealth's Attorney, and all those who have the privilege of Major
YARBERRY'S acquaintence unhesitatingly say that he will fill the position
without fear or favor and will be a credit to the district and his party.
He solicits your vote and influence in the primary on August 5.
