Kentucky. In a dark and bloody ground of national political contention, Kentuckians are paying much more attention to the presidential race than to their own drab Senate campaign between Incumbent John Sherman Cooper and former Governor Keen Johnson.

"The whole subject of evil spirits wandering about this world is un-Christian and almost getting near to witchcraft," said a retired physician named Dr. Edward Cordeaux. Others felt that "possession" was a matter for psychiatrists. The Rev. Henry Cooper, chaplain to the Guild of St. Raphael, argued that the more successful exorcists are men who know something about psychiatry and work well with doctors. They resort to bell, book and candle only when psychiatrists have given...
