circular in regard to the prevention of typhoid fever The fever season is now here and the following rules have been prepared by Dr J 11 Mathews President and Dr J N McCormack Secretary 1 When it is known or sus pected that a person has typhoid fever he should be placed in ia large well ventilated room with the windows and doors well screened and such preparation should be made from the first dily for the thorough and systematic disinfection of all discharges from the bowels and kidneys as will pro tect other members of the family the attendants and the community 2 A solution of chloride of lime eight ounces to the radon of water should be provided iin quantity and a quart of this should be put in the bed pan or vessel each time before it receives the discharges and should be well stirredand allowed to stand in the vessel at least an hoar before it iis buried An equivalent solution of creolin or a thick whitewash made from the fresh quicklime may be used in the sumo way when the chloride of lime canno be obtained but with these at leas two hours will be required to complete the disinfection 3 Soiled bedor body linen should remain in the chloride of lime solution for a hour and ma then be safely put in the famil wash Soiled paper or clothe usedabout the patient should b immediately burned Attendent s should wash the hands frequently and the lips and rinse the moat i always before eating No on- i e i should partake of any food whici- j h has stood in the sick room All 01 these precautions should be con ducteduntil the recovery is con plete and until all diarrhoea has tensed 4 Typhoid fever is not contng j i ious in the sense commonly understood and if tle precautions aboy e j indicated are faithfully and intelli gently carried out a case may b treated in any family or commun ity with perfect safety If other s l have the disease it will be becaus I they were infected from the sam ee source as the patient or contract ed it eh e where The same pre cautions

Politcal Meeting in the State Greets the ExGovernon He Proclaims Himself in Favor of the Extension of the County Unit Law and Leaves No Doubt of His Position A HEARTY SINCERE RINGING DOCUMENT l BOWLING GREEN Ky Sept 4 Governor James B Mc Creary Democratic nominee for Governor opened his campaign in this city today The largest crowd that ever attended a political meeting here was present Democratic voters poured In from the surrounding counties to give their personal approval to their party leader and to indorse the platform upon which he is asking the votes of the people The enthusiasm with which Governor McCreary was received gives evidence of an aroused party spirit which augurs well for Democratic success His speech was a complete review of the political situation in Kentucky and the nation It leaves no live subject untouched It calls the Republican party to account for its failures to live up to its platform pledges- Governor McCreary delivered a masterful speech He heartily indorsed every plank in the Democratic platform and left no doubt in the minds of his hearers where he stands on every public question His speech in full is aa follows 1 Fellow Citizens I have the honor of addressing you today as the regu j larly nominated candidate of the Democratic party for the office of Gover norNo words I can utter seem strong enough to express my gratitude for j the nomination given to me by the Democrats of Kentucky- I I can only say I am sincerely and earnestly thankful for the great honIj or conferred upon me and I shall try with whatever energy or intellect I possess to carry the Democratic flag to victory and If I am elected Gov perI50naltial aspirations to promote but I shall do all In my power to discharge every duty required of me faithfully and efll clently and try In every proper way progresslimprovement serve law and order and uphold all that will bring prosperity to the State and happiness to the people I It will always be a source of pleas i ure to me that Madison County where I have resided all my life and where I am thoroughly known In dorsed me for the office of Governor with only 34 votes against me In th3 primary election and 2400 votes for me In a very busy season being not far from the full Democratic vote of the county and In the Eighth Congressional jlstrlct which I represented In Congress for twelve years I was Indorsed by a majority In the primary election of over COOO votes Yv At the outset I wish to say with emphasis If I am elected Governor I will not be controlled by a clique ma fr1 chine or individual but I shall be as I was before when I had the honor to be Chief Executivethe Governor of the State according to the Constitution and the law Duty of Democrats There was never a time in our State when Democrats should be more alert and aggressive more harmonious and united than the present time Ken tuck Democrats are to fight the open l v- v Ing political battle this year which will precede the great National battle for President next year Kentucky Democrats will help start the move ment which I believe will result In the election pf Democratic President Jn 1912i q1iIli t While Democrats in other c are carrying the Democratic StatesI high advanced to victory creased majorities Democrats In tucky must not falter or hesitate but rather be energetic enthusiastic Invincible victorious The State of Kentucky The first and foremost subject to en list attention of all is the State of Kentucky There is everywhere in our State a greater desire for prog ress Improvement and advancement than ever before The location the climate the resources the splendid men and the attractive women show that we have everything to make Ken tucky one of the greatest States in the Union if proper efforts are made I I was born and reared In Kentucky i and I have always loved my native i f State and it Is but natural for me to wish to see her outstrip all of her sis ter States In every material Interest and every desirable form of progress Kentucky occupies a central place In the great Mississippi Valley amI- no part of the world shows greater progress and activity than that vast region strftchlnc from the Allechanles westward to the Rocky Mountains and southward to the Gulf of Mexico con taming an area of a million and a quarter square miles and having a population of thirty millions and nos Messing natural advantages unexcelled by ntn ppptlon of the trlobe- WWp her ester States are develop- Ing andl utilizing every advmtazre Kentucky must go forward also Well o In an HPR oft ovepq and dpv ojimit al1 IIP i and puce of tha world havo been greatly quickened Our State must keep step to the music of the age and we must have united aggressive efforts for Industrial and commercial supremacy and Kentucky must forge to the front as one of the leading States of the Union In farm ing In manufactures In mining In education and In all the varied Inter ests of a great people Inhabiting a great State Few States If any In our Republic have such geological formations such diversity of soils and mines and such varied attractions as Kentucky Great Agricultural and Mining State The soil of Kentucky is very rich for agricultural purposes Nowhere can be found better producing tobacco land better producing hemp land better producing corn wheat rye oats and barley lands Our State produces nearly onethird of the tobacco grown in the United States and 90 per cent of the hemp of the United States Is produced in KentuckyWith area of 41283 square miles only about 1500 square miles are un fit for agriculture Our coal fields are unexcelled In any State there being 15680 square miles of coalbearing f QOV JAMES B MCREAUY area with coking coal In seven coun ties of the western coal fields and ten counties In the eastern coal fields and cannel coal in abundance Her timber districts are Immense comprising vast forests of merchant able timber of every variety and Iron ore lead zinc building stone and pot tery clay abound In almost inexhaust ible quantities while rich paying oil wells have been opened in various sections of the State Kentucky has over 2000 miles of rivers Including the Ohio and Missis sippi rivers where they bound Its bor ders and over 3000 miles of rallrqads are ready and convenient for travel and transportation and her live stock is not excelled in any part of the worldWill Be Great Manufacturing State Kentucky is not only a great agri cultural and mining State but her manufactures are extensive and In creasing rapidly and being situated midway between the Northern Lake- and UH Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern and Western ranges o the North American Mountains i destined on account of location an facilities to become after a while a great manufacturing State When Solon the great Athenian lawgiver was full of years and full of honors he said I have done all in my power to jjnprove my country and to defend its laws If Ken tuckiana ft 111 emulate his example we will have a great era of development in our commonwealth- I will always be ready whether 1 r office or not In office to do all In myI power to improve and develop Ken tuckyThe Achievements of Democrats In Kentucky The Democratic party Is the Party of Progress the Party of Peace andI Law and Order the Party of Liberty and Equal Rights the party that has given to Kentucky Its educational ad vantages Its development and its ad vancement and therefore if Ken tucky Improves Democracy must be triumphant In our State- I point you to the contrast between Republican rule and Democratic rule InKentuckyAs the Republican record of assassination bloodshed and disre gard of law I present the Democratic record for peace strict regard for hu man life and respect for and main tenance of law and order As against a treasury with only 33885269 and unpaid warrants against the State amounting In July last to 1359502 bearing 5 per cent Interest I present the Democratic record of a magnifi cent State Capitol erected and paid for without any extra tax and every just claim against the State promptly paid In full As against Republican platform pledges and promises that have been broken Democrats present a record showing all pledges and promises faithfully compiled with I call atten tion to the record which shows that the State debt was about one million dollars before the Democrats came Into power In 1900 and was wiped out by Democrats who left a balance in the treasury of a million dollars and since Republican Governor Will son was Inaugurated the State Is in debt more than a million of dollars A Democratic Legislature established two State Normal Schools for the training of the teachers of the State and made appropriations for their maintenance and established the State University and also appropriated money for Its benefit The common school law of Kentucky was enacted by a Democratic Legislature and all the Improvements and Increased facil ities for education come through Democratic legislation A Democratic Legislature reestablished the Geolog ical Survey provided for a Confederate Home with proper appropriations for the support of Confederate veter ans and enacted a law for the benefit of the Childrens Home Society and made It a State Institution and enlarged the Agricultural Department so as to Include forestry and Immigra tion and established a Normal School at Frankfort Ky for colored people and made liberal appropriations for Its maintenance Republicans Can Refer to No Benefi cial Legislation and Their Rec ord Does Not Deserve In dorsement Republicans can refer to no legisla tion originated or enacted by them in Kentucky which has Increased educational facilities added to Internal im provements adjusted or lightened bur dens of taxation or benefited Ken tucky in any way The record shows however a remarkable military history In which the expenditures for active militia in three and a half years under Governor Willson amounts to 27715887 or an average expenditure per year of 79 18824 as against 2935916 or an av erage expenditure per year of 733379 for the four last years of Governor Beckhams administration Thus It will be seen that the Repub lean expenses are nearly ten times aa much for active militia In three years and a half as Democrats expended In four years Since so much has been said in the newspapers about expenditures for acv tive militia I have been asked to state the expenditures for active militia the four years I was Governor and I have obtained the statement from the Auditors office showing that for the four years I was Governor there was expended for the active militia 20 40168 or 510017 per annum being one fifteenth as much per annum as under the present Republican admin istrationI been asked also to state how many days I was absent from the State during my four years service as Governor The record shows I was absent from the State during my en tire term thirtyfour days and the State paid to the Lieutenant Governor for that period 402 while the pres eat Republican Governor has been ab sent from the State 239 days andI Lieutenant Governor Cox has drawn for this time 425620 for acting as Governor the per diem being 1780 and Governor Willson drawing the same amount for the same 239 days The record also shows that the thir teenth section of the last Republican platform adopted In 1907 promt ind that if put in power Republicans would reduce the taxes to the lowest possi ble rate consistent with an efficient ad ministration of the State govern ment More than three years and a half of the Republican administration has passed and we have not heard anything more about the proposed re duction In taxes The people how ever have felt a movement of the op posite character There has been no direct Increase In the tax rate but It was necessary to raise money to pay the Increased expenses Inaugurated by Republicans and they have resort ed to an indirect method of raising the rate The Republican State Board of Equalization Increased the valuation of property as turned in from the counties Take the years 1910 and 1911 as examples In several coun ties this raise has been as great as 25 per cent and In other counties 20 per cent and 15 per cent and 12 per cent In 1910 ninetythree counties were raised the average raise being seventysthe av 9fper seen achtd was e same in these counties as If it had been raised an average of 12 per cent in 1910 and an average of 9 per cent ralst on coun ties from 50 cents on the 100 to 50 cents In 1910 and boy cents In 1911 The Legislature with the approval1 of the Governor has the power to In Repubn usurped I the functions of the Legislature and in effect raised the tax rate Take Warren County as an example In 1910 the Republican State Board of Equalization raised Warren County 15 per cent on lands town lots and personalty This made a raise of 791092 In lands 480670 In town lots and 212440 In personalty making a total raise for that year on Warren County property of 1484202 For this year 1911 Warren County was raised 10 per cent on lands town lots and personalty making a raise on lands of 555106 on town lots 333 268 and on personalty of 157694 or a total raise on the property of the county of 1046068 thus making n total raise for the two years of 2530270 on the property of the countyAs the State tax rate is 50 cents on the 100 it will be seen that this raise on Warren County for the two years has added over 12000 In taxes paid to the State alone As this raise also affects county city and district taxes doubtless the raise caused an Increase for all these local purposes of more than twice 12000 as local rates are probably more than a dollar on the 100 as against 50 cents for the State rate So It can be stated that for all pur poses the citizens of Warren County have had to pay In the two years be cause of these raises about 36000 additional taxes As long as Kentucky Is a sovereign State the people will hold leading Re publicans responsible for the record they have made In Kentucky when they brought soldiers to the Capitol of the State and made bayonets superior to law and soldles superior to legislators when they aused judges of the Court of Appeals and State Legislators to pass under bayonets on the way to their respective official dutiesWhen soldiers and gatllng guns and cannons were placed on the Capitol grounds when the dulyelected Governor was cowardly assassinated and Republicans made no protest and made no effort to have the assassins of the Governor arrested and when the assassins were brought to Justice and tried and convicted a Republican Governor pardoned them There Is nothing clearer In our State than that Republicans have no right because of anything they have done to govern Kentucky They have been weighed in the balance and found wanting Republicans Are Endeavoring To Di vert Attention of Voters From Their Record One of the principal Issues In this campaign Is Shall the Republican party with Its record In Kentucky and In the United States be given a new lease of power by the election of Republican candidates to the highest State offices and thus put upon them the seal of approval by the people and tell them to renew and revive the outrages and extravagance and bur densome taxation which they have up held and advocated Republicans are endeavoring to divert attention of voters from the unparalleled record they have made both In the State and the Nation by injecting immaterial Irrelevant or unsupported Issues hoping to draw the people away from main questions and have the campaign pitched on side questions I believe the people have the requisite virtue and Intelli gence to rid the politics of the State of demoralizing and Improper In fluences and Democrats will see that Republicans are held responsible for their acts both in State and in Na tional affairs- Clean Politics and No Bosses or Machines I have always been in favor of clean politics and opposed to bosses ma chines or rings When I had the honor to be Gov ernor before no Republican or any other man ever charged that there were bosses rings or machines at that timeJudge ORear In his speech at Ellz abethtown tried to appear as the apostle of good government and pure elections and he spoke at length about political machines and boss rule InKentuckyThese strange utterances by a Republican who has voted so often to Indorse National Republican rule which has been conspicuous for the support of bossridden and machine ruled Republican States When a Republican speaks In favor of clean politics and against machines after the record made by the Repub lican party In Kentucky Illinois New York Pennsylvania California and In Southern States It must be re garded as one of the wonders of the present time For years New York New Jersey Massachusetts Connecticut and Ohio were under boss rule and machine control until a majority of the voters determined to overthrow bosses and machines and Democrats and Republicans rose In their majesty and power and overthrew Republican rule and placed Democrats In control of the States I have named I know there Is no boss rule or ma chine rule In Kentucky at the present time unless It is In the Republican party There are some Republicans who believe there was a Republican machine when the last State Repub lican convention was held at Louisville and the steam roller was run over a worthy exFederal soldier and other prominent candidates in order to carry out the plan and specifica tions determined upon by the bosses of the Republican party StateWide Primary ElectionsTheR- emedy Judge ORear said In his Elizabeth town speech Statewide primary election Is the remedy for bossism and machine rule etc- I have always been an advocate of primary elections About eight months ago twentysix Democratic candidates for the State offices met in Louisville by Invitation pf the Democratic State Executive Committee to consult as to whether the State Democratic candidates s should be nominated by a State con vention or by a State primary elec tion I advocated a primary election- Ind I used arguments now by Judge ORear In favor of the pri nary election I said in addressing the Democratic State Executive Com mlttoe If we wish the Democratic u voters to take an Interest In the candidates and In the election we must n have methods for the nomination of the party candidates whfch will In sure general participation in the election and I believe a primary election according to the statutes of Kentucky is the best plan to select the nomi nees for the various offices The statutes of Kentucky prescribe the rules and regulations for nominat ing In primary elections candidates for State district county or municipal offices There is no statute regu lating State conventions or county conventionsSuccess always greatly promoted If we have equal rights for all and special privileges for none and op portunities given to all Democrats to assist in nominating the candidates they will support at the generaL elec tion are encouraging to the voters The humblest Democrat has as much right td participate In the nomination of Democratic State officers as the most prominent and influential Dem ocrat and the farmer in the country should have equal chances with the Democrats In a town or city Com paratlvey few persons attend courthouse I conventions and often 100 per sons or a less number In a courthouse 1 convention choose delegates or Instruct for candidates while several j thousand Democratic voters of the I county are absent at their homes Advantage of Primary The government should be brought i close to the people and there can bejj no bosses or rings or machines in connection with a primary legally and t honestly held and all who know me know I would not accept a nomination I unless It came to me honestly andJJ fairly Experience has taught the people to appreciate primary elec tions In every Democratic county in Kentucky primary elections are held to nominate the county officers andIevery State south of Kentucky holds primary elections to nominate county j and State officers and many of the Northern and Western States nomi i nate their county and State officers in primary elections A few months ago there was a con j ference of Governors and Governors elect at Frankfort and Louisville andtt In a discussion on primary elections all except one favored primary elec dons and thirtyseven were present The State Democratic Executive Committee ordered a primary election to be held on the first day of JulyJJ 1911 In every precinct of the State under the primary election law of the State of Kentucky to nominate can didates for the State offices and a United States Senator I was nominated as were all the I other Democratic candidates for State offices at the primary election held July 1 1911 according to the plan suggested by Judge ORear as a rem edy for machine rule except that theIState did not pay the expenses but the Democratic platform recently I adopted at the State Democratic convention contains a resolution declarIing In favor of a direct primary elecJJ tion law at the public expense How Were Judge ORear and His Ticket Nominated Judge ORear and his associates onIthe Republican ticket were nominated by a convention held In Louisville Ky He wrote the platform and he says the provisions of the platform were In the main set forth In the an nouncement of his candidacy three months before the convention was held According to the statements ofIRepublicans he named the candidates to be nominated for the various State offices and he also named the chair man of the State convention AboutI 2000 Republicans voted In the Repub lean convention which nominated Judge ORear Over 100000 Democrats voted In the primary election In which I and other Democratic candi dates for the State offices were nomi natedVery little perception Is required to see that Judge ORears nomination and the nomination of the other can didates on the Republican ticket looked far more like boss rule and machine rule than my nomination andIthe nomination of my associates on the Democratic ticket by a primary electionIf there was in any State a fair primary election wherein the people uncontrolled and uninfluenced as sembled at their respective voting places and nominated candidates of their choice It was at the Democratic State primary election held on the 1st day of July last Turbulent Times and Disgraceful Scenes turbulenttimesmarked Kentuckys history about ten years ago when a motley crowd of CapItol theCapltol grounds and legislators and Judges of the Court of Appeals were driven to the city of Louisville for safety and protection Where was Judge raisehistics and law and order Why did he platform vention as did Democrats In their platform adopted by the Democratic conventionWhile am speaking of the late Re publican State convention I must re fer to conspicuous events In that con vention which have attracted wide at tendon That convention approved and In dorsed the Republican administration of the affairs of the State and all means employed by that administra tion for the preservation of law and order and although Judge ORear Is said to have criticized Governor Will quicktothe very thing which he was the first to criticize and denounce- A conspicuous omission of the con vention which nominated my distin guished opponent and other members of the Republican ticket was that the delegates did not deign to mention in the convention or in the platform the name of the present Republican Gov ernor of Kentucky The most dramatic event In that Re Judgedeuloglzq ntor

of Appeals while a candidate for Governor referred to me as fob lows My distinguished opponent a also holds an office of power and dig nlty as Peace Commissioner perhaps with some profit also He has not resigned from that position and I hope he will not resign If Judge ORear had asked me about this I would have prevented him from misrepresenting me I was President of the American Peace and Arbitration League which has a large w membership 11 various States and Iwhose main object is the settlement of 1toqwartribunal When I decided to be a candidateJfor Governor I was unwilling to hold that office and not attend to its duties while a candidate for Governor and I resigned to take effect January 1 1911 My associates tried for a while to keep me in office but my resigna tion was finally accepted and I re k celved no pay from the first day of January 1911 The letter of the General 1 Secretary of the American Peace and Arbitration League accepting my resignation Is as followsApril n 20 1911 IKyDear SirIn compliance with your proposal at the directors meeting of June 1910 to retire January 1 1911 In favor of Mr Clark or Mr Clews if personal affairs require your atten tion In Kentucky and In accord with your recent letter to Vice President Clark reaffirming the same your res ignation as President of the American Peace and Arbitration League was ac cepted at an adjourned meeting of the t Board of Directors held at Mr Clews office April 19 1911 Vice President Clark declined the honor on account of business engage ments requiring his absence many months In the year and Mr Clews was elected as President of the LeagueBy unanimous vote of the board you were elected as Honorary Vice President Kindly acknowledge re ceipt of this and oblige Yours truly ANDREW B HUMPHREY General Secretary I was under no obligation to resign because I did not hold either a State office or a United States office but I resigned because I was unwilling to neglect the duties of an Important office while I was a candidate for Gov ernor and which I believed would con sume nearly one year- I should not have referred to Judge ORear holding an office while a can didate for Governor but for his refer ence to me Judge ORear has been according to his own statement a Judge of the Court of Appeals for eleven years He has five years to serve as Judge be fore his present term expires For two years It has been currently reii ported Judge ORear would be a can didate for Governor and for a num ber of months before the Court of Ap peals adjourned for the present sum mer recess he did not perform the duties of Judge but was actively en gaged making speeches and conduct ing his campaign and consulting with his political supporters and he will be absent from his duties as Judge dur ing the months of September and Oc tober The average man will see Judge ORears situation and the dim culty of discharging his duties as Judge during the years he was prepar ing to be a candidate for Governor when voters whose support he de sired had cases before him in the Court of Appeals which Involved their property liberty or life They will also notice that during the months Judge ORear engaged In an active canvass for the nomination and In the campaign after his nomination al though not performing any of the duties of his office as Judge he drew the salary of that office which amount ed to 5000 per annum or 416 per monthand announces that he will not resign unless elected Governor and that he will appoint his own successo-r and not have his successor appointed by Governor Willson It Is no excuse for him as stated by some of his friends that in all the history of Kentucky no other Judge of the highest court of the State has ever done bEfore as the jurist candidate of the Republican party Is now doing and that this is the first act of that kind and therefore should be over I lookedkThe Cases Cited By Judge ORear AretNot Analogous to His Case The cases cited by Judge ORear to excuse him for holding the office and drawing the salary of a Judge of the Court of Appeals while a candidateitit for Governor are not In point and are not analogous to his case Mayor Head discharged all the duties of Mayor while a candidate for Governor Hon Ben Johnson attend ed to all of his duties as a CongressII man while a candidate for Governor candidate ed to all of his duties as a member of Congress and neither of these three men had cases before them In which the voters were Interested whoso sup port they desired and It may be also said of Judge Paynter when a candi date for United States Senator only a short time he remained In Frankfort and attended regularly to his duties as Judge Judge ORear seems to have over theRepublicanhimself according to his own admis judiciary cuit and Appellate Courts should be andthefaithfulJudicialmined by no other qualification than Itness Judge Parker of New York when 5 ipmlnated as the Democratic candl I J jL14j s f i

for bY those Insurgents or bolters whichever you want to call them and Sen ator McCreary never once asked them to change their votes from him Indicating that he was willing to receive the votes of these four Democrats who afterward voted for Bradley Judge ORear could have avoided misrepre sentation of me if he had asked me to tell him the facts- I I was not In Kentucky during the longdrawnout contest between Beck ham and Bradley for United States Senator but I was In Washington at tending to my duties as a United I States Senator and I now have In my possession a letter from Hon Gus Richardson Representative from Meade County In which he says I wrote you after a number of ballots had been taken and it was evident to me that Beckham could not be elect ed and asked permission to nominate you IIf any break should come In your reply you said positively that you would not permit the use of your 4 name and that you did not want any Representative or Senator to vote for you under any circumstances as long as Governor Beckham was a candidate k possessin r which he says You requested me to ask the Democrats In person and privately to not vote for you as under no circumstances could you accept the office If elected while Governor Beckham was a candidate I did com ply with your request and did go to Mr McKnl0ht and stated your request to him and as the other men that would not vote for Beckham you und I had no Influence with I asked McKnight to see them and neither of them voted for you after that day In the allusions I have made to my distinguished opponent I only desire to state facts and correct misrepre sentations His long public career Is famttfar to all Kentucklans and I would say nothing to disparage what ever merit he lids displayed or to de tract from his standing as a party man The Democratic Platform The Democratic platform adopted at the State convention held at Louis yule Ky August 15 reaffirms time tried and timehonored Democratic doctrines and it announces uptodate Democratic principles which are worthy of the support of all Kentuckians I Indorse the platform which was adopted by the convention It repre sents the principles of the Democratic State ticket and presents the policies that will be upheld Speaking with candor and delibera tion I can say that in my opinion no better or more appropriate or pro gressive declaration of principles was ever made in Kentucky by an earnest intelligent patriotic body of men rep resenting the Democrats of every part of the State II shall not at this time discuss at length each section of the platform I hope It will be read and carefully con sidered by each voter It is sufficient it JI subjectJIpledging anew our faith in and devo tlon to the timehonored and eternal principles of our

our highest court as valid and con stitutional so that the citizens of each and every county In the State may de termine for themselves whether spirit uous vinous or malt liquors may be sold therein I voted for and I endorsed every section of this platform and It Is proper I should say In this connec tion that I voted for the first local option law passed by the Kentucky Legislature in 1874 I then being a Representative from Madison County At a local option election held in Richmond I was absent attending to my duties as Senator at WashIngton except the local option election held March 3 last and on that day I was compelled to be In Louisville to at tend a meeting of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee called for that day by the chairman the main of which was to call off the primary election which I had advo cated and In which I was deeply In terestedAt recent Democratic State convention I advocated at the Demo cratic candidates meeting a declara tion to be placed In the platform In favor of extension of the present local option law and It was agreed to by the Democratic candidates and was- put In the Democratic platform On this platform of principles Dom ocrats appeal to all Kentucklans Irre spective of previous political affiliations to support our State ticket and all other Democratic candidates Judge ORear In his speech at May field on the 31st day of August asked me to answer the following questions Are you now In favor of the exten sion of the county unit law In Ken tucky etc and when did you come to that conclusion- I have already said In my speech to day that I endorse every section of the Democratic platform at the State convention at Louisville on the 15th of August 1911 but I will say now specifically I am In favor of the ex tension of the present local option law as applied to the sale of liquors so that tto citizens of each and every county In the State may determine for themselves whether spirituous vinous or malt liquors may be sold therein These are the exact words of the State Democratic platform- I came to this conclusion some time of the exten ago when the question sion of the county unit law became prominent and I regard It as the best plan to settle an Important question If Judge ORear had read on the day of the State Democratic conven tion the published account of th views Of the State Democratic candi dates for office he would have known that I and all the other candidate- for State offices were In favor of ex tending the county unit law Judge ORear says he proposes d If elected Governor to remove the In- fluncgof the liquor iQbby In the Ken tucky Legislature and Its allied lob bies and asks me what I propose t do about It My answer is as state in the Democratic platform and Is a followsI such laws as will under appropriate penalties destroy all cor rupt lobbying seeking to Influence any legislative body in the commonwealth- on the subject of legislation or the election of officers by It or In any other matters find I will do all tIn my power if I nm Governor to carryout fully the statements in this sec tion of the Democratic platform and If the county unit Is not enacted at the first session of the Legislature tt- I If am Governor I will determine then whether the Legislature shall be called Into extra session to con sider itIJudge ORear asserts In very stron language what he will dd with tho Legislature If the members do not obey his dictation and It Is nroper 1 In this connection to sty that eal branch of the Legislature Is certain to be Democratl and 111 be more In sympathy with a Democratc Gov ernor than with a Republican Gov ernor Before I finish my speech 1 will ask Judge ORear to answer some 1m pot tnnt questions rout they will be more appropriate when I discuss another question Republicans Have Seized Some of the Most Important Prlncloles of Both State and National Democratic Platforms Republicans after years of opposi tlon to Democratic lpolicies and prn clples have In the last few year seized some of the most Importan principles and policies advocated by Democrats In Kentucky and some of the most Important principles In National Democratic platforms Many of the declarations In the Re publican State platform are In favor of principles which Democrats have advocated for years notable among them being Improvement of our educational system revision of our tax system better rradV divorcement of penal and charitable Institutions from politics thorough Inspection of State banks arbitration of labor dls putes prohibition of poomrge and slave traffic and It may be said 1 In this connection that the first local op tlon law was pnssed by a Democrat Legislature In 1874 and approved by Democratic Governor Republicans have also eagerly seized planks In Democratic National plat forms This was notably the cdts when Republicans declared for Gov ernment regulation of rnllroad rat 5 for this was written In three Nations Democratic platforms beginning with the nlntform of 1896 The election of United States Senators by direct vote of tho people hasI been advocated by Democrats for a quarter of a century Reciprocity In trade was advocated by the founder of the Democratic party Thomas Jefferson nearly a cen tury ago and was endorsed by several i Democratic National conventions and was advocated by the presnt Repb i Mean President who called a special session of Congress In order to secure the passage of the Canadian recip rocity measure I Publication of campaign contribu Ions before the election has been ad vocated by Democrats for a number o- dr v h 9 n iis and was supported both by democrats fluid Republicans at the ate session of Congress and passed The great and conspicuous differ ence between Democrats and Repub licans as regards the pledges or dec larations made In their platforms is that Democrats are faithful to their pledges and carry them out while Re publicans have been conspicuous for their broken pledges and disregard of platform promises both State and National Theyliedof the General Assembly Are Cer tain To Be Democratic It may be said in this connection that Democrats are certain to have control of both the State Senate and House of Representatives when the next General Assembly convenes and will be In a condition to perform and carry out their pledges while the Re publicans have no prospect whatever of controlling either branch of the next General Assembly and If they had the Governor they would be powerless to enact or amend a law onehalf of the State Senators hold over and they are all Democrats and the majority of Democrats In the House of Repre sentatives last session Is too large to be overcomeThe PartyKentucky sayIngthis campaign confine ourselves to State questions Of course they desire this for they do not want the bad record of the Republican party both in the State and Nation brought to the attention of the people As Kentucky Is a part of the United States Important questions which af fect the Republic will also affect each State Legislation for the classes and not for the masses laws enacted by a Republican Congress or vetoed by a Republican President which Involves economy In public expenses cheaper clothing cheaper food cheaper farm ing Implements or machinery reduc tion of the burdens of taxation are of grave Interest and Importance to the people of Kentucky and It Is prop er and right that the record of the two great political parties should be presented exactly as they have made themDemocrats know that Kentucky Re publicans voted for President Taft and Indorsed his administration and also platform voted for Governor Willson and In dorsed his administration in the last Republican State platform Kentucky Republicans have Indorsed and upheld the highest protective tariff law In the world a tariff law which has been an Incubus with Its burdensome taxation upon the farmer the laboring man ofeKentuckyKentucky Republicans have Indorsed milslionaires In the United States than In all the nations of Europe put together but the millionaires have been con fined to the special classes benefited by the tariff and not to the people of Kentucky politicalo thedandsbroughtIntomonopolies winch have been like a Tcndora box of evils to Injure the prosperity of the people consume their hard earnings and Increase the expenses of living Democratic National Achievements Democrats made great achievements at the last November election Then Northern and Western States which had been strong Republican States elected Democratic Governors and in representationUnited States House of Representa lives The result of the last November election marks a new era In our country and should strengthen the faith of all citizens In the virtue Intelli gence and patriotism of the people and In the success of free Institutions under popular government- It was a great protest of the peo ple against the conduct of Republic uponthegress and a prelude I hope and he RepubIlcan toxicated with power tyrannical In legislation and despotic in the management of Government affairs Democrats In the called session of Congress which has Just adjourned faithfullyTheymade In our National platform and they made a record which not only urprsed their friends and discour aged their enemies but gave hope and encouragement to Democrats every whereThey recIprocItycould not get the Republican Congress to pass providingforto authorize the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people but a Republican amend ment prevented the final adoption of the resolutions They passed a bill providing for the publication of campaign contributions before the election They passed the farmers and labor ers free list bill They passed bills materially reduc ahug the tariff duties on wool and wool en goods of all classes and they passed the cotton bill and admitted Statee hood President Vetoes Most Important Bills The Republican President William Important passedbyRepubIIcans peopleHetaxes on wool and on woolen goods which saved the people of the United States two hundred millions of dollars per annum and he vetoed the bill reducing existing tariff taxes on cotton goods which saved fifty millions per annum to the people and he vetoed the farmers and laborers free list bill which saved one hundred millions of dollars to tho farmers and laborers jW remarkable and vrpatsfaciory ex a 4r dt race being that tariff revision should wait until reports are made on the different tariff schedules by a tariff board composed of men who have no more capacity and no better Informa tion on the tariff than the members of the Ways end leans which reported the bills Committeesj j have referrodII In all the history of our Republic who vetoed bills to cheapen the clothing of the poor people cheapen bread and meat for the hungry cheapen machinery and tools for the farmer and labor Ing men and yet my distinguished op ponent Judge ORear voted for Taft and Indorsed his platform in 1908 and at the late Republican convention of Kentucky held July 11 he wrote and RepubBean liam H Taft for renomination for P es Englandhasright as Taft has exercised and in my opinion If the King of England were to veto such bills as Taft vetoed Indignantdetermined try will see to It that Taft will lose his crown or office at the November election In 1912 and all those who sup port and uphold him In the matters to which I referred should lose their chance for office also Asks Judge ORear Questions Judge ORear wrote the resolutions adopted at the Republican state conven tion which Indorsed the administration of President Taft and which recommended President Taft for renomination as the Republican candidate for president In this connection I wish to ask the Republican candidate for governor Judge ORear questions which are very Inter esting to all the people of Kentucky and which Involve cheaper clothing cheaper goods cheaper farming machinery and Implements cheaper mechanics tools and also Justice under the law Do you Indorse President Tafts veto of the bill known as the farmers free list billDo you Indorse President Tafts veto of the bill reducing the existing tariff taxes on wool and woolen goods Do you Indorse President Tafts veto of the bill reducing the existing taxes on cotton goods Do you Indorse the votes against the farmers free list bill which were cast by Senator Bradley and Representative Pow ers and your campaign chairman Repre sentative Langley Do you Indorse the RyanAldrich tariff bill which President Taft signed and which he said was the best Republican tariff law ever passed Do you Indorse the pardon by Governor Willson of Taylor Finley Howard and Powers fciv Io M You have been silent on these great questions some of which Involve the reduction of the price of clothing food farming machinery and mechanics tools toothamount of hundreds of millions of dollars These questions are of grave and vital Importance to the people of Kentucky and the people of Kentucky want to know where you stand Come out candidly and say where you are Judge ORear Inconsistent Judge ORear npparsto Tie Incon sistent He claim to bo a progres sive yet he is for Taft for reelection as President and Taft is a standpat ter and ORear commended in his platform Senator Bradley and Re re sentatlves Langley and Powers who are standpatters and he has Langley as his campaign manager and Bradley and Langley and Powers voted against the farmers and laborers free list bill and the bills reducing tariff duties on wool and woolen goods and on cotton Democratic Tariff Vs Republican Tariff President Taft started the tariff campaign a few days ago at Hamilton Mass when on the 2Gth of August he made a speech and severely criticized Speaker Clark and Representatives Underwood and Senator LaFollette and other Senators and Representa tives for passing the bills he vetoed and he accused them of Ignorance of the effect of the legislation and he reached his climax when he said Men of Massachusetts It seems to me that the slogan of the Republican party should Involve a National cry and not be confined to mere State Is sues Democrats everywhere are ready to accept this challenge and we believe our cause of Justice right and fair taxation will ho victorious Both cf the great political parties In Congress now face the realization that the defeat by the President of so much needed just and important tariff legislation at the special session of Congress makes certain a tariff bat tie at the regular session beginning on the first Monday In December next which will exceed In fierceness any tariff battle which ever occurred and that the tariff will go Into the Presidential election next year with force and fierceness never equaled be fore In all the Presidential contests where the tariff has been the great Is sue Democrats have always been vie torlous and I hope and believe his tory will repeat itself In 1912 The arguments are convincing and unanswerable In support of the Democratic position for tariff reduction so as to get tariff for revenue only as

revisions have always been upward instead of downward until we now live r t 1rx fk under the highest tariff schedule ever known In the world Republicans promised n the last National contest for President to revise the tariff downward In the Inter est of the consumers They revised it upward In the Interest 01 monopo lies and manufacturers but In doing this they made planer and clearer tol the people than ever before that tho true Democratic doctrine as to the tariff Is that the Government has no right In equity or In law to collect a dollar of taxation except for its own support and that Republican doctrine is that taxes may be levied for the benefit and protection of favored Indi viduals and preferred classes which Is legalized robbery Look for a moment at a few of the Inequalities of the existing tariff rates On clothing worn by the labor Ing man It levies a duty of 80 per cent On champagne the duty Is C5 per cent On woolen or worsted goods worn by multitudes of women it is 135 per cent and on the fine silk costume of the rich the tax is GO per cent On the plain coarse blanket of the poor the tariff is 165 per cent while on the fin est and costliest blanket It is 71 per cent On carpets used by the owners of fine mansions the tariff is 50 per cent while on the cheap carpets used In the modest homes of the working man It is 127 per cent The existing tariff law contains 2024 articles and the report of the Department of Commerce shows that the total production in the United States of goods protected by the tariff last year was thirteen billions of dollars and there was Imported into the United States last year goods valued at 779000000 on which a tariff tax of 329000000 was collected by the United States Government but the unparalleled outrage is that the pro ducers In the United States of the thirteen billion dollars worth of goods were enabled because of the protective tariff to Increase the price of their goods so that they made ninetytwo millions of consumers pay them a tribute of about four billions of dollars President Taft said In his speech at Cincinnati when a candidate for Pres- Ident on September 22 1908 If I am elected President I promise the nation I will use every fiber of my being to carry out honestly and decently the tariff revision promises of the Republican platform Two days later he said at Milwaukee It Is my judgment that the revision of the tar iff In accordance with the pledge of the Republican platform will be on the whole a substantial revision downward After the ayne Aldrich bill was passed which Increased taxes he sIgned It and called It the best Republican tariff bill ever enacted According to Democratic faith in making all tariff schedules the tariff tax should be lowest on the necessa rles of life and highest on luxuries The enormous tax provided for In the schedules of the PayneAldrich bill Increased the price on every article on which It Is levied and helped to make the cost of living 60 per cent higher than it was ten years ago A good law Is that law which benefits the greatest number of people and the PayneAldrlch law will not stand this testlJThere are four things every man wishes to obtain

and mechanics tools Demo crats jjhave done all they could to make these articles free or as nearly free as possible but President Taft as I have already stated vetoed the elmblIcans thirds of the members to pass the bill over his veto The people have a great remedy change of administra tion elect a Democratic President of RepubIIcansThe conditions are favorable In va norms respects for change of adminis tration and especially because the Republican lparty Is divided Into two factions the Insurgents and the Standpatters A distinguished Demo cratic Congressman said not long ago Time difference between them Is as to the amount of the loot Insur gents say Rob by the protective tariff but rob a little The Stand patters say Take it all but Democ racy appeals to the command which comes from Sinai and says Thou shalt not steal- Farmers and Laboring Men I know I am addressing today an audience composed largely of fanners and laboring men and I confess I have strong feelings and sentiments for Everything that concerns them I was reared on a farm and although I practiced law many years I have also owned farms many years and have a farm now All classes and all kinds prosperity Ing men When farm crops fall or languishesI and organization both among farmers and laboring tell Z A majority of our population live on farms and more than half our State taxes are paid by the fanners and the majority of our farmers are Democrats The Democratic party has from the foundation of our govern ment championed the farmers cause while the Republican party has crippled his Interests and the Interests of laboring men by compelling them to pay tribute to trusts monopolies and combines and carry the burden of op pressive taxation There should be no stayathome vote among the farmers and laboring men at the next State election Demo cratic administrations have enacted every law on our statute books to improve agricultural conditions whileI no Republican administration has to its credit a single act to upbulld agrl i culture In this State and when the late Republican convention was held tt Louisville the Platform adopted k t did not mention the farmer or labor Ing men but the fourteenth plank of the Democratic platform Is as follows We favor organization and coopera tion among the farmers and the laborers of the State and the enactment of such constitutional laws as will protect them from the greed and oppression of the trusts and monopolies of the country which are the direct fruit of Republican legislation Kentucky had no Department of Ag riculture until I had the honor to bo Governor of the State I recommend ed to the Sonera Assembly the pas sage of a bill establishing a Depart ment of Agriculture and authorizing the appointment of a Commissioner ofl Agriculture This Department of Ag riculture has rendered valuable seer ice to the State and Its scope has been extended so as to Include forest ry and Immigration There was no Department of Agriculture when I ear tered Congress and I Introduced a bill to establish a Department of Agricul ture and the Chairman of the Com mlttee on Agriculture reported a bill substantially the same as mine and It was passed and we now have a Secretary of Agriculture In the Cabinet of the President- In 190G a Democratic administration put the State Fair on a permanent baa sis and provided for an annual State and County Farmers Institute and In this way the farmers facilities for ob taining Information have greatly In creased and the State Fair gives him an opportunity to see the best that is produced upon the farm and laudable competition Is encouraged among farmersThere should be no politics in farm ers institutes but it has been charged and so far as I have been Informed not denied that Republicans have prostituted the farmers Institutes into political machines From the farms as well as from tho cities and towns come the soldiers who fight our battles In time of war and from the farms as well as from the cities and towns come leaders In science literature and art Presidents of colleges and universities and chief officers of banks and railroads and In dustrial Institutions From the farm also as well as from the cities and towns come Senators Governors Representatives In Congress Judges and other officers and two of the greatest Presidents furnished by tbo1 Democratic party Jefferson and jack son were reared on farms arid two of the greatest Presidents furnished by the Republicans Llnqofn and Mc Klnlev were leared on farms Not withstanding the congjilcuoua service rendered by farmers they have been the main vIctims of Republican legis latlon They have felt tho terrible weight of the trusts and tho heavy burden of the tariff both of which reach nearly everything the farmer buys or uses AVhlle I was In Congress I did all In my power to reduce the burdens of taxation and free the farmers from the clutches of trusts and monopolies and I advocated taking the tax off tobacco every time I could get an op portunity Conclusion I have spoken longer than I Intend ed Jt will be a great honor for me tobe elected Governor of KentmtcJT agaln JltI will be sincerely

company andnumerous stories have been heard the most generally circulated of whichwas that the standpipe contained large quantity of dead birds The company evidently realizing the water was not what it should I be and hoping to better conditions upon advice of the Board of Health recently emptied the standpipe and we are reliably inform ed that aside from some mud that had accumulated in the bottom of it and which was naturally expected there was nothing foundof an objectionable character To use the language of Dr W E Thompson who was present representing the Board of IIealthnot a feather was foundThe company under its contract with the city cannot drain the entire system at one time for fear of fire The standpipe however is now thoroughly clean and the hydrants are gradually being drained so that in a very short time the entire system will have been emptied and a new and fresh supply of water had The ofliciuls of the company assure us they desire to give the very best possible service in keeping with its means and willappreci ate a little patience on the part of the public Wo dont blame Judge ORear for not wanting national issues discussed in this campaign The record of the

Of Lift are times when man wearies of action here are moments of anguish and pain There are seasons of doubt and misizivlci There are sorrows no tongue can explain There are times when our courage

Beyond tbe heartaches and the sorrows There stretches a flowerstrewn way That winds through the niodniliado wed valley And over the starrylit sea j liAlfiLife Is an unending battle A contllct stupendous and grand Erred man Is laurelcrowned hero ho in the front rank takes his stand Who laces the lines of the foreman Who tights for the truth and the right ill ke taIls In the footprints of duty Oer shadowed by death and night He who taIls in the thick of the battle CoDtondlnir for Justice and right He whose life Is a record untarnished On whose soul there is no spot nor blight Is s hero

most favorably Killers clamor for bovine trash while quality iis readily susceptible to drivers in fluences When prices were marked up so sensationally during the last half of July little cattle barely in good killing condition advanced 4050 cents per cwt while prime bullocks showed less than half as much appreciation unda class of plain weighty steers freighted with beef but yielders of coarse cuts were easily set back The anomal was pre seated of killers paying more money on the hooks for light half fat carcasses than prime stuff Sixcent cattle dressing 5354 per cent have been market favorites while 7cent bullocks showing GOCli per cent on the dressing sheets and costing less in the heel than men 5icent stuff that had merely feeder quality have been1 selling far out of line when meas ured by the standard intrinsic values At a season when the spread bet een light killers andj i finished cattle ought to be wide I j Ilts spun is unreasonably narrow year ago the top was around1 8f0 and plenty of cheap steers had to be content with 5 but for two weeks past nothing decently I whileII ITo some extent abnormal con have been responsible the ii principal being scarcity of quar Ijantine cattle anda belated north- westernj movement but the fact sticks out that the public wants cheap beef and light cuts regard I less of quality Killers go to low grade cattle because the product retailersrgive it preference because it yields the largest margin of profit As long as the public discriminates against fat null quality insisting on small stake and light roasts in an effort to keep the meat bill proportionsgthis state of affairs will exist Retailors assert that they can sell light plates and briskets fresh while these cuts from heavy steers must be corned Present demand

by an Illinois reader who seeks an opinion uIn the spring of 1909 Iwent to an importing company to buy a mare I wanted 9 threeyearold in foal They wanted more for a threeyearold than I was willing to give so they offered to get a twoyearold for me I told them I would take the twoyearold at their price if she suited me when she came and if they would get her in foal for me when she came and if they would get her in foal for me without further expense on my part and they said they would do so They got importation of horses in about three weeks from that time and sent me word to come and get mine I went and took the mare they hadordered for me but they askedme if I would just as soon take her home andmate her to a horse they had sold to a man in my neighborhood the week before They said it would be a great accommodation to them if 1 would take her home and mate her to this horse I said 1 would do so if they would do so if they would make out an order showing this man they were responsible for the service fee and either giye it to me or send it Jo him They sent it to this man I mated the mare but she didnot get in foal Last spring I wrote the company asking them it I should bring the mare to them or take her back to the horse they sold They said to take her to the horse they sold I did so and had her kept and tried by all the methods this man know but she is not in foal I wrote the com pany offering to exchange the mare or for them to refund my money They say they do not have to do either I understood I was buying a brood mare When a seller agrees to deliver anything animal or article ac cording to any certain conditions in the order and the article or animal is delivered there is an ref spects it complies with those con ditions or specifications In ac cordance with this generalrule there was an implied warranty that the mare delivered would be in foal The only question is whether when the buyer took the mare she not being in foal he didnot waive that warranty We think that the warranty that the mare would be in foal included one that the mare would be a breeder that the sellers are still theeoftthe purchase price and for the necessary expenses andother damage to the buyer Woman Hangs a Mixed Jury Bellingham WrashAwoman member of Northwest Washing tons first mixed jury composed of six men and six women is said to be preventing the reaching of a verdict in the case of a saloon keeper charged with selling liquor to un Indian The jury failed to agree on a verdict and was locked up one night the baliff escorting the ju rors to different
