The water for some time past has had a bad color and odor and the Business Men's Club had requested the Board of Health to investigate the matter. Several physicians were of the opinion that the water was dangerous to the general health of the city. There has been quite a number of cases of typhoid fever in this section and while some physicians think the hydrant water the cause, others do not; ir fact one physician said: "I have 14 cases of fever and none of them use hy- drant water."

Under it, if he violates any law during the next year, his bond will be forfeited.

SINCERE, RINGING A HEARTY, DOCUMENT Mc-Crear- BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Sept. 4, Governor James B. 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 spsech. 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; t Fellow Citizens: I have the honor world havo been greatly quickened.

The Achievements of Democrats In Kentucky. The Democratic party Is the Party of Progress, the Party of Peace and Law and Order, the Party of Liberty and Equal Rights, the party that has given to Kentucky Its educational advantages, its development and Its advancement, and therefore, If Kentucky Improves, Democracy must be triumphant In our State. I point you to the contrast between Republican rule and Democratic rule In Kentucky. As against the Republican record of bloodshed and disreassassination, gard of law I present the Democratic record for peace, strict regard for human life, and respect for and maintenance of law and order. As against a treasury with only $338,852.09 and unpaid warrants against the State amounting In July last to $1,359,502, bearing 5 per cent Interest, I present the Democratic record of a magnificent State Capitol, erected and paid for without any extra tax, and every Just claim against the State promptly paid in full. platform As against Republican pledges and promises that have been broken, Democrats present a record showing all pledges and promises faithfully complied with. I call attention to the record which shows that the State debt was about one million dollars before the Democrats camo 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-sowas inaugurated the State is in debt more than a million of dollaia. A Democratic Legislature established two State Normal Schools for the training of the teachers of the State, for their and made appropriations 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 facilities for education come through Democratic legislation. A Democratic Legislature the Geological Survey, provided for a Confederate Home, with prorcr appropriations for the support of Confederate veterans, and enacted a law for the benefit of the Children's Home Society and made it a State Institution, and enlarged the Agricultural Department so as to Include forestry and Immigration, and established a Normal School at Frankfort, Ky., for colored people, and made liberal appropriations for Its maintenance. Republicans Can Refer to No Beneficial Legislation, and Their Record Does Not Deserve Indorsement. Republicans can refer to no legislation originated or enacted by them In Kentucky which has Increased educational lacillttes, added to internal improvements, adjusted or lightened burdens of taxation or benefited Kentucky In any way. The record shows, however, a remarkable military history, In which the expenditures for active militia in threo and a half years under Governor Willson amounts to $277,158.87, or an average expenditure per year of as against $29,359.1C, or an average expenditure per year of $7,333.79 for the four last years of Governor Beckham's administration. Thus it will be seen that the Republican expenses are nearly ten times aj 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 active 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 Auditor's ofllce, showing that for the four years I was Governor there was expended for the active militia or $5,100.17 per annum, being one fifteenth as much per annum as under the present Republican administration. I have 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 endays, and the tire term thirty-fou- r Stale paid to the Lieutenant Governor for that period $402, while the present Republican Governor has been absent from the State 239 days, and Lieutenant Governor Cox has drawn for this time $4,25G.20 for acting as Governor, the per diem being $17.80, and Governor Willson drawing the same amount for the same 239 days. The record also shows that the thirteenth section of the last Republican platform adopted In 1907 promised that If put In power Republlcar.s would "reduce the taxes to the lowest possible rate consistent with an efficient administration of the State government." More than three years and a half of the Republican administration has passed and we have not heard anything more about the proposed reduction in taxes. The people, however, 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 resorted to an Indirect method of raising the rate. The Republican State Board of Equalization Increased the valua tion of property as turned in from the counties. Tako the years 1910 and 1911 as examples. In several counties 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 ninety-threcounties were raised, the average raise being about 12 per cent. In 1911 seventy-twcounties have been raised, the average raise being a little more than 9 per cent. Thus It will be seen that while the State tax rate was not actually Increased, the result was the 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 in 1911. This was equivalent to raising the State tax rate on these counties from 50 cents on the $100 to 5G cents In 1910 and 54 "A cents in 1911. The Legislature, with the approval of the Governor, has the power to Increase the tax rate, but the Republican Board of Equalization usurped n $79,-188.2- 4, $20,-401.0- e o the functions of the Legislature and In effect rained 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 $791,092 In lands, $480,070 In town lots and $212,440 In personalty, making a total raise for that year on Warren County property of $1,484,202. For this year 1911, Warren County was raised 10 per cent on lands, town lots and personalty, making a raise on lands of $555,106, on town lots $333 208, and on personalty of $157,C94, or a total raise on the property of the county of $1,04G,0G8, thus making n total raise for the two years of $2,530,270 on the property of the county. As the State tax rate is 50 cents on the $100 it will be seen that this raises on Warren County for the two years has added over $12,000 In taxes paid to (he 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 $12,000, 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 purposes the citizens of Warren County have had to pay, in the two years, because of these raises, about $36,000 additional taxes. As long as Kentucky Is a sovereign State the people will hold leading Republicans 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 soldle;s 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 duties. When soldiers and gatllng guns nnd cannons were placed on the Capitol Govgrounds, when the ernor 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 havo "They done, to govern Kentucky. 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 Stntes, 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 burdensome taxation which they have upheld 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 Intelligence to rid the politics of the State of demoralizing and improper influences, and Democrats will see that Republicans are held responsible for their acts, both in State and in National affairs. Clean Politics and No Bosses or Machines. I have always been In favor of clean politics, and opposed to bosses, machines or rings. When I had the honor to be Governor before, no Republican or any other man ever charged that there were bosses, rings or machines at that time. Judge O'Rear, In his speech at tried to appear as the apostle of good government and pure elections, and he spoke at length about political machines and boss rule In Kentucky. These are strange utterances by a Republican who has voted so often to rule, Indorse National Republican which haB been conspicuous for the support of and machine-ruleRepublican States. When a Republican speaks In favor of clean politics and against machines after the record made by the Republican party In Kentucky, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, California and In Southern States, It must be regarded 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 la no boss rule or machine rule In Kentucky at the present time unless It 1b In the Republican party. There nre some Republicans who believe there was a Republican machine when the last State Republican convention was held at Louisville, and the steam roller was run over a worthy soldier and other prominent candidates In order to carry out the "plan and specifications" determined upon by the bosses of the Republican party. State-WidPrimary Elections The Remedy. Judge O'Rear said in his Elizabeth-towspeech: "State-widprimary election Is the remedy for bosslsm and machine rule, etc." I have always been an advocate of primary elections. About eight months ago twenty-siDemocratic candidates for the State offices met In Louisville by Invitation of the Democratic State Executive Committee to consult as to whether candidates Democratic State the should be nominated by a State convention or by a State primary election. I advocated a primary election ind I used arguments now presented by Judge O'Rear In favor of the election. I said in addressing 'he Democratic State Executive Committee "If we wish the Democratic duly-electe- d boss-ridde- n d e n e x prl-aiar- y voters to tako an inte".est in the didates, and in the election, we must of have methods for the nomination Inthe party candidates which will 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 nominees for the various offices. The statutes of Kentucky prescribe the rules and regulations for nominating In primary elections candidates for State, district, county or municipal offices. There Is no statute regulating State conventions or county conventions. Success is always greatly promoted if we have equal rights for all and special privileges for none, and opportunities given to all Democrats to assist in nominating the candidates they will Bupport at the generaL election 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 Democrat, and the farmer in the country should have equal chances with the Democrats In a town or city. few persons attend courthouse conventions, and often 100 persons, or a less number, In a courthouse convention choose delegates or Instruct for candidates, while several thousand Democratic voters of the county are absent at their homes. Advantage of Primary. The government should be brought close to the people, and there can be no bosses or rings or machines In connection with a primary legally and honestly held, and all who know me know I would not accept a nomination unless it came to me honestly and fairly. Experience has taught the people to appreciate primary elections. In every Democratic county In Kentucky primary elections are held to nominate the couftfy officers, and every State south of Kentucky holds primary elections to nominate county and State officers, and many of the Northern and Western States nominate their county and State officers In primary elections. A few months ago there was a conference of Governors and Governors-elec- t at Frankfort and Louisville, and In a discussion on primary elections all except one favored primary elections, and thirty-sevewere present. The State Democratic Executive Committee ordered a primary election to be held on the first day of July, 1911, In every precinct of the State, under the primary election law of the State of Kentucky, to nominate candidates for the State offices and a United States Senator. I was nominated, as were all the other Democratic candidates for State offices, at the primary election held July 1, 1911, according to the plan suggested by Judge O'Rear as a remedy for machine rule, except that the State did not pay the expenses, but the Democratic platform recently adopted at the State Democratic con-- ' ventlon contains a resolution declaring in favor of a direct primary election law at the public expense. How Were Judge O'Rear and His Ticket Nominated? Judge O'Rear and his associates on the 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 of Republicans, he named the candidates to be nominated for the various State offices, and he also named the chairman of the State convention. About 2,000 Republicans voted in the Republican convention which nominated Judge O'Rear. Over 100,000 Democrats voted in the primary election In which I and other Democratic candidates for the Stato offices were nominated. Very little perception Is required to see that Judge O'Rear's nomination and the nomination of the other candidates on the Republican ticket looked far more like boss rule and machine rule than my nomination and the nomination of my associates on the Democratic ticket by a primary election. If ever there was in any State n fair primary election wherein the people, uncontrolled and uninfluenced, assembled 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 8cenes. We all remember the turbulent times and disgraceful scenes that marked Kentucky's history about ten years ago, when a motley crowd of Republicans marched to our State Capitol, and cannon were placed In the 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 O'Rear then and why did he not raise hiB voice then as now for clean politics and law and order? Why did he not refer to these times In his platform, adopted by the Republican convention, as did Democrats In their platform, adopted by the Democratic convention? While I am speaking of the late Republican State convention I must refer to conspicuous events In that convention, which have attracted wide attention. That convention ap'proved and Indorsed the Republican administration of the affairs of the State and all means employed by that administration for the preservation of law and order, and although Judge O'Rear Is said to have criticized Governor military exploits, he was quick to get on the platform which indorsed the very thing which he was the first to criticize and denounce. A conspicuous omission of the convention which nominated my distin guished opponent and o'ther 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 Governor of Kentucky. The most dramatic event in that Republican State Convention was Judge O'Rear's undertaking to euloglzq Senator Bradley by declaring while he was making a speech: "I am proud to say of Senator Bradley that despite the machinations of the lobby, therp canCom-parattven Is one Senator on whose title there Is no stain, and on whose record there i? no blot." Why was it necessary to sa anything on that subject? It seem to me that If the hour of eulogy ha. arrived It would have been more ap proprlate for Bradley to have eulogized O'Rear, as he had just been nominated as the Republican caidldate for Governor. Judge O'Rear's Resignation as a Judge of the Court of Appeals. Judge O'Rear, In his Ellzabethtown speech, to excuse himself for not resigning the ofllce of Judge of the Court of Appeals while a candidate for Governor, referred to me as fol opponent lows: "My distinguished also holds an office of power and dig ntv na Ppncp Commissioner, norhnns with scene profit, also. He has not re signed from that position, and I hope he will not resign." If Judge O'Rear 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 membership In, various States, and whose main object is the settlement of International disagreements without war by an international arbitration tribunal. When I decided to be a candidate for Governor I was unwilling to hold that office and not attend to its duties while a candidate for Governor, anrt. I resigned, to take effect January 1, 1911. My 'associates tried for a while to keep me in office, but my resignation was finally accepted, and I received no pay from the first day of January, 1911. The letter of the General Secretary of the American Peace and Arbitration League accepting my resignation Is as follows: "April 20, 1911. "Hon. James B. McCreary, Richmond, Ky.: "Dear Sir In 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 attention In Kentucky, and In accord with your recent letter to Vice President Clark, reaffirming the same, your resignation as President of the American Peace and Arbitration League was accepted at an adjourned meeting of of Directors, held at Mr. Clews' ofllce, April 19, 1911. "Vice President Clark declined the honor on account of business engagements requiring his absence many months In the year, and Mr. Clews was elected as President of the League. "By unanimous vote of the board you were elected as Honorary Vice President. Kindly acknowledge receipt 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 ofllce 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 Governor, and which I believed would consume nearly one year. I should not have referred to Judge O'Rear holding an ofllce while a candidate for Governor but for his reference to me. Judge O'Rear has been, according to t his own statement, a Judge of of Appeals for eleven years. Ave years to serve as Judge be fore his present term expires. For two years it has been currently reported Judge O'Rear would be a candidate for Governor, and for a number of months before the Court of Appeals adjourned for the present summer recess he did not perform the duties of Judge, but was actively engaged making speeches and conducting his campaign and consulting with his political supporters, and he will be absent from his duties as Judge during the months of September and October. The average man will O'Rear's situation and the difficulty of discharging his duties as Judge during the years he was preparing to be a candidate for Governor, when voters, whose support he desired, 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 O'Rear engaged In an active canvass for the nomination and In the campaign after his nomination, although not performing any of of his office as Judge, he drew the salary of that office, which amounted to $5,000 per annum, or $416 per month, and announces that he will not resign unless elected Governor, and that he will appoint his own successor, 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 overlooked. The Cases Cited By Judge O'Rear Are Not Analogous to His Case. The cases cited by Judge O'Rear to excuse him for holding the office and drawing the salary of a Judge of the Court of Appeals while a candidate 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 attended to all of his duties as a Congressman while a candidate for Governor, and Hon. OHIe James, while a candidate for United States Senator, attended 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 support they desired; and It may be also said of Judge Paynter, when a candidate for United States Senator only a short time, he remained in Frankfort and attended regularly to his duties as Judge. Judge O'Rear seems to have overlooked entirely the seventh plank in the Republican platform, which he wrote himself, according to his own admission, and which provides that the judiciary of the State in both the Circuit and Appellate Courts should be chosen on nonpartisan grounds, and the continuance In office of faithful Judicial servants should be determined by no other qualification than the-Boarthe-Cour- X' m w ' - He-ha- s see-Judg- e '1 the-dutie- M Will-son'- s ltness. Judge Parlter, of New York, when omlnated as the Democratic candl- - r V V r .i ."hi v, V. M ,,. n1 s & f aatc lor President, resigned as a Judge of the Supreme Court of New York the day that he accepted the Democratic nomination for President, and his salary was $18,000 per annum. accepted the nomination for Governor of New Jersey, although he was receiving $10,000 per annum as President of the university, and his salary as Governor was little more than half as much as hs received as President of Princeton University. Robert Riddel!, of Kentucky, resigned the office of Circuit Judge when he accepted the nomination as a Democratic candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Judge O'Rear, In his Elizabethtown speech, made a lengthy defense of Senator Bradley's alleged untainted title to his seat as United States Senator, and said: "Senator McCreary, Henry Watterson, Ollle James, Colonel John Allen and Colonel Frank Fehr and a number of other noted Democrats In Kentucky were voted for by those Insurgents or bolters, whichever you want to call them, and Senator McCreary never once asked them to change their votes from him, Indicating that he was willing to recelvo the votes of these four Democrats, who afterward voted for Bradley. Judge O'Rear could have avoided misrepresentation of me if he had asked me to tell him the facts. I was not In Kentucky during the contest between Beckham and Bradley for United States Senator, but I was In Washington attending to my duties as a United 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 elected, and asked permission to nominate 3 on If any break should come. In your reply you said positively that you would not permit the use of your 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 candilong-drawn-o- Jersey, resigned as President of Princeton University the day that he Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New 4 tion, and should not be made a partisan issue between political parties, and favors the extension of the present local option law as applied to the sale of liquors, which has been upheld by our highest court as valid and constitutional, so that the citizens of each and every county In the State may determine for themselves whether spirituous, 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 Bay In U1I3 connection 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 attend a meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee called for that day by the chairman, the main the business of which was to call offadvoprimary election which I had cated, and In which I was deeply At the recent Democratic State convention I advocated at the Democratic candidates' meeting a declaraIn tion to be placed In the platformlocal favor of extension of the present option law, and it was agreed to by the Democratic candidates, and was put in the Democratic platform. On this platform of principles Democrats appeal to all Kentuckians, Irrespective of previous political affiliations, to support our State ticket and all other Democratic candidates. Judge O'Rear In his speech at on the 31st day of August asked to answer the following questions: me Are you now in favor of the extension of the county unit law In Kentucky, etc., and when did you come to that conclusion? I have already said In my speech today 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 extension of the present local option law as applied to the sale of liquors, so that "the 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 ago when the question of the extension of the county unit law became prominent, and I regard It as the best plan to settle an important question. If Judge O'Rear had read on the day of the State Democratic convention the published account of the views of the State Democratic candidates for office, he would have known that I and all the other candidates for State offices were In favor of extending the county unit law. Judge O'Rear says he proposes, If elected Governor, to remove the the Jlquor lqjjby In the Kentucky Legislature. and lis allied lobbies, and asks me what I propose to do about it? My answer is ns stated In the Democratic platform, and Is as follows: "I favor such laws as will under appropriate penalties destroy all corrupt lobbying seeking to Influence any legislative body In the comtnonweaitn on the subject of legislation, or the election of officers by It, or In any other matters" and I will do all In my power, If I rnn Governor, to carry out fully the statements in this section of the Democratic platform, and If the county unit Is not enacted at the first session of the Legislature. If I am Governor. I will determine then whether the Legislature shall be called Into extra session to con Judge O'Rear asseits In very strong language what he w'll do' with the Legislature If the members do not obey his dictation, and it is Draper In this connection to that ear"'' branch of the Legislature is certain to be DeiiioerntK nnd '"111 be more In sympathy with a Democrats Governor than with a Republican Governor. Before I finish my spepch I will ask Judge O'Rear to answer some questions, but they will be more npnrnriate when I discuss an other question. Republicans Have Seized Some of the Most Important Pr'nclnles of Both State and National Democratic Platforms. Republicans after years of opposi tlon to Democratic policies and have In the last few years seized some of the most Importnn' 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 Republican 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 rcnd5. divorcement of penal and charitable- - Institutions from politics, thorough Inspection of State banks, arbitration of labor disputes, prohibition of peonage nnd slave traffic; and It may be said In this connection that the first local op tlon law was passed by a Democrats Legislature in 1874 and approved by a Democratic Governor. Republicans have also eagorly seized planks In Democratic National platforms. This was notably the case when Republicans declared for Government regulation of railroad rat 5 for this was written In threo Nationn Democratic platforms, beginning with the niatform of 1S9G. The election of United States Senators by direct vote of thn people has been ndvocated by Democrats for a quarter of a century. Reciprocity in trade was advocated by the founder of the Democratic pnrty. Thomas Jefferson, nearly a century ago, and was endorsed by several Democratic National conventions and was advocated by the prcs'nt Rep' b Hcan President, who called a special lesslon of Congress In order to secure the passage of the Canadian reciprocity measure. Publication of campaign contribu tions before the election has been ad vocated by Democrats for a number of pr'n-ctple- s May-fiel- d y date." r 11 I alPo have a letter In my possession from Hon. George T. Harris, In 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 comply with your request, and did go to Mr. McKnlht and stated your request to him, and as the other men that would not vote for Beckham you and I had no influence with, I asked McKnlght 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 misrepresentations. "His long public career is familiar to all Kentuckians, and I would say nothing to disparage whatever merit he has displayed, or to detract from his standing as a party . man." The Democratic Platform. The Democratic platform adopted at tne state convention held at Louisville, Ky., August 15, reaffirms time-trieand Democratic doctrines, and It announces Democratic principles which are worthy of the support of all Kentuckians. I indorse the platform which was adopted by the convention. It represents the principles of the Democratic State ticket and presents the policies that will be upheld. Speaking with candor and deliberation, I can say that In my opinion no better or more appropriate or progressive declaration of principles was ever made in Kentucky by an earnest, Intelligent, patriotic body of men, representing the Democrats of everv nart of the State. i buuu iiul at mis iime discuss at length each section of the platform. I hope It will be read and carefully considered by each voter. It Is sufficient for me to refer briefly to the subject matter of most of the sections. The Democratic platform, after pledging anew our faith In and devn tlon to the and eternal principles of our party, and reaffirming our faith In successive platforms 'of the party, and especially reaffirming our faith In and devotion to the National Democratic platform adopted nt Denver, Colo., In the year 1908, declares In favor of a direct primary election, the passage of a corrupt practice act, a more efficient system of public schools, woman's suffrage In school elections, abolition of the lobby, the creation of a State utllit'es commission, uniform accounting sys tern. Selection of the Prison Board by the Governor instead of by the General Assembly, subject to confirmation by the Senate. Reform of our tax system by submitting to a vote of the i eoplo whether or not they des're to adopt an amendment to our State Constitution broadening the powers of the General Assembly so that It may classify rrorerty for the of taxation. Creation of a Department nf Until. In?, providing competent Inspection. Wise and conservative laws as will encourage road and bridge building.

The great and conspicuous differ-oncbetween Democrats and Republicans as regards the pledges or declarations made In their platforms Is that Democrats are faithful to their pledges and carry them out. while Republicans have been conspicuous for their broken pledges and disregard of platform promises, both State and National. Hepuolicans Will Be Powerless If They Hcd the Governor, as Both Branches of the General Assembly Are Certain 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 Republicans 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; of the State Senators hold over, and they are all Democrats, and the majority of Democrats In the House of Representatives last session is too largo to be overcome. The Republican Party. Kentucky Republicans are now saying very complacently we should In this 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 affect 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 farming implements or machinery, reduction of the burdens of taxation, are of grave Interest and Importance to the people of Kentucky, and It is proper and right that the record of the two great political parties should be presented exactly as they have made them. Democrats know that Kentucky voted for President Taft and indorsed his administration, and also the last National Republican platform, and that Kentucky Republicans voted for Governor Willson and Indorsed 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, the business man and all the people of Kentucky. Kentucky Republicans have Indorsed legislation which has made more millionaires In the United States than In all the nations of Europe put together, but the millionaires have been confined to the special classes benefited by the tariff, and not to the people of Kentucky. They have acted with the political party which has legislated for the classes, and not for the masses, and which has by Its legislation brought Into our country trysts, combines and monopolies, which 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 tne last November election. Then Northern and Western States, which had been strong Republican States, elected Democratic Governors and increased their Democratic representa tlon In the United States Senate and United States House of Representa tlves. The result of the last November election marks a new era in our country, and should strengthen the faith of all citizens hi the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of the people, and in the success of free Institutions under populnr government. It was a great protest of the people against the conduct of Republicans, and It was a vote of censure upon the President and Republican Congress, and a prelude. I hope and be lleve, to the overthrow of the Republican oligarchy which has become intoxicated with power, tyrannical In legislation and despotic in the man agement of Government affairs. Democrats in the called session of congress which has just adjourned did their duty nobly and faithfully. They have been true to the pledges made In our National platform, and they made a record which not onlv "iirpr'sed their friends and discouraged their enemies, but gae hope and encouragement to Democrats everv where. They passed the Canadian reciprocity measure, which President Tafl could not Eet the Republican Congress to pass. They passed resolutions providing for an amendment to the Constitution to authorize the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, but a Republican amendment prevented the final adoption of the resolutions. They passed a bill providing for the publication of campaign contribution 'jefore the election. They passed the farmers' and labor- ers' free list bill. They passed bills materially reducing the tariff duties on wool nnd woolen goods of all classes, nnd thev passed the cotton bill, and admitted Arizona and Now Mexico to Stateone-hal- f I Jemocrats nnd Republicans w.s, and was supported both by Wie e at being that tariff revision should wait until reports are made on the tllfferenr tariff schedules by a tariff board composed of men who have no more capacity and no better information on tho tariff than the members of the Ways and Means Committees which reported the bills to which I have referred. President Taft is the first President in all the hlitory 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 laboring men, and yet my dlstlngulshej opponent, Judge O'Rear, voted for Taft and Indorsed his platform in 1908, and at the late Republican convention of Kentucky, held July 11, he wrote and voted for a resolution In the Republican platform which indorsed William H. Taft for renomlnatlon for P In 1912. The King of England has not In centuries exercised sach a right as Taft has exercised, and, In my opinion, If the King of England were to veto such bills as Taft vetoed it would cost his crown, and indignant, determined people all over our country will see to It that Taft will lose his crown or office at tho November election In 1912, and all those who support and uphold him In the matters to which I referred should lose their chance for office, also. Asks Judge O'Rear Questions. etiBO es-ide- nt Judge O'Rear wrote the resolutions adopted at the Republican state convention, which indorsed the administration of President Taft and which recommended President Taft for renomlnatlon as the Republican candidate for president. In this connection I wish to ask the Republican candidate for governor, Judge O'Rear, questions which are very Interesting to all the people of Kentucky and which Involve cheaper clothing, cheaper goods, cheaper farming machinery and Implements, cheaper mechanics' tools and also Justlco under the law. Do you Indorse President Taft's veto of the bill known as the farmer's free list bill? Do you Indorse President Taft's veto of the bill reducing the existing tariff taxes on wool and woolen goods? Do you Indorse President Taft's 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 Powers and your campaign chairman, Representative Langley? Do you Indorse the h tariff bill which President Taft signed ant! which he said was the best Republican tariff law ever passed? Do you Indorse the pardon by Governor Wlllson of Taylor, Flnley, Howard and Powers? 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 to the amount 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. -- .. Ryan-Aldrlc- -- Judge O'Rear Inconsistent. Judge O'Rear appears to be Inconsistent. He qlaluis to bo a progressive, yet he Is for Taft for as President, and Taft is a standpatter, and O'Rear commended in his platform Senator Bradley and Re; 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 tho bills reducing tariff dutie's on wool and woolen goods and on cotton. Democratic Tariff Vs. Republican Tariff. President Taft started the tariff campaign a few days ago nt Hamilton, Mass., when on the 20th of August he made a speech and severely criticized Speaker Clark and Representatives Underwood and Senator LaFollette and other Senators and Representatives for passing the bills he vetoed, and he accused them of Ignorance of tho effect of the legislation, and he cached 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 Democrats everywhere are ready to accept this challenge, and we believe our cause of Justlco, right and fair taxation, will be victorious. the great political parties Both In Congress now face the realization that the defeat by. tho President of so much needed, just ami important tariff legislation at the spec!-1- session of Congress makes certain a tariif battle at the regular session beginning on the first Mondav 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 before. In all the Presidential contests where the tariff has been the great Issue, Democrats have always been victorious, and I hope and believe history will repeat itself In 1912. The; arguments are convincing md unanswerable, in supnort of the Democratic position for tariff reduction so as to get tariff for revenue only as soon i 1 f 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 interest of the consumers. They revised it upward in the interest 01 monopolies and manufacturers, but in doing this they made pla'ner and clearer to the people than ever before that tho true Democratic doctrine as to the tariff Is that tho 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 Individuals and preferred classes, which Is lega'lzed robbery. Look for a moment at a few of the inequalities of tho existing tariff rate3. On clothing worn by the laboring man it levies a duty of 80 per cent' On champagno the duty Is G5 per cent. On woolen or worsted goods worn by multitudes of women It Is 135 per cent, and on the fine silk costume of tho rich the tax Is 50 per cent. On the plain, coarse blanket of the poor tho tariff Is 1G5 per cent, while on the finest 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 2,024 articles, and tho 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 thero was Imported Into tho United States last year goods valued at $779,000,000, on which a tariff tax of $329,000,000 was collected by tho United States Government, but the Unparalleled outrage I3 that the producers In the United States of the thirteen billion dollars' worth of goods were enabled because of the protective tariff to Increase tho price of their goods so that they made ninety-twmillions of consumers pay them a tribute of about four billions of dollars. President Taft said In his speech at Cincinnati when a candidate for President, 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 tariff In accordance with the pledge of the Republican platform will be. on the whole. n substantial revision downward." After the bill was passed which Increased axes 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 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 law will not stand the this test. There are four things every man wishes to obtain as cheaply as pos-- U..W sible: home for himself, wife and ' o ayne-Aldrich did not mention the farmer or laboring men, but the fourteenth plank of the Democratic platform Is as follows: "We favor organization and among the farmers and the laborers of the State, and the enactment oC 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 Agriculture until I hnd the honor to bo Governor of the State. I recommended to the General Assembly the passage of a bill establishing a Department of Agriculture and authorizing-thappointment of a Commissioner ofl Agriculture. This Department of Agriculture has rendered valuable service to the State, and Its scope has been extended so as to Include forestry and Immigration. There was no Department of Agriculture when I e Congress, and I Introduced a bill to establish a Department of Agriculture, and the Chairman of the Com mittee 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 Payne-Aldric- h Payne-Aldrlc- h In 190G a Democratic administration put the State Fair on a permanent basis, and provided for an annunl State and County Farmers' Institute, nnd In this way the farmer's facilities for oh talnlng information have greatly Increased, and the State Fair gives him an opportunity to see the best that Is produced upon the farm, and laudable competition Is encouraged among farmers. There should be no politics In farmers 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 a3 from the cities nnd towns come leaders In science, literature and art, Presidents of colleges and universities, and chief officers of banks and railroads and industrial 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 Che?" Democratic party, Jefferson and Jack-sowere reared on farms, and two of tho greatest Presidents 'furnished by the Republicans, Lincoln and were reared, on farms. Notwithstanding the conspicuous Eervice rendere.d by farmers, they have been the main victims of Republican legislation. 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 I was In Congress I did all In my nower to reduce the burdens of taxation and free the farmers from tho clutches of trusts and monopolies, and I advocated taking the tax off tobacco every time I could get an op. portunity.

Farming 'mplements and mechanics' tools with which to labor. Republicans in the existing tariff law put a tax on lumber, with which the home is built, and a heavy tax on woolen nnd cotton goods with which clothes are made, and a tax on edibles, nnd a tax on farming implements and mechanics' tools. Democrats phave 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 bills and was sustained by the Republicans in Congress, as it required of the members to pass the bill over his veto. The people have a great reme'y chnnge of administration elect a Democratic President of the United States and turn Renub- llcans out of office. The conditions are favorable in various respects for chnnge of administration, and especially because the Republican party is divided Into two factions, the Insurgents and the Standpatters. A distinguished Democratic Congressman said not long ago: "The difference between them Is as to the amount of the loot." Insurgents say. "Rob by the protective tariff, but rob a little." The Standpatters say. "Take it all," but Democracy appeals to the command which comes front Sinti and says, "Thou shalt not steal." Farmers and Laboring Men. I know I am addressing today an audience composed largely of fanners and Inboring men, and I confess I have strong feelings and sentiments for Everything that concerns them. was reared on a tarm, and although I practiced law many years I have also owned farms many years, and have a farm now. AH classes and all kinds of business depend upon the prosperity nnd success of farmers and laboring men. When farm crops fail or diminish, business of all kinds languishes'. 1 nm In favor of and organlzatlon both among farmers - -- .; nnd laboring men A majority of our population live on farms and more than half our State taxes are paid by the farmers and the majority of our farmers are Democrats. The Democratic party has from the foundation of our government championed the farmer's cause, while the Republican party hns crippled his Interests and the Interests of Inboring men by compelling them to pay tribute to trusts, monopolies and combines, and carry tho burden of oppressive taxation. There should be no vote among tho farmers and laboring men at the next State election. Democratic administrations have enacted every law on our statute books to Improve agricultural conditions, while no Republican administration has to Its credit a single act to upbuild agriculture In this State, and when the late Republican convention was held at Louisville tho platform adopted two-third- - .,.,.,,. ;s ""' vu,w.

For some days objections, on the part of various citizens, have been made to the water furnished by the local company and numerous stories have been heard, the most generally circulated of which was that the standpipe contained a large quantity of dead birds. The company, evidently realizing the water was not what it should lie and hoping to better conditions, upon advice of the Board of Health, recently emptied the standpipe and we are reliably informed that aside from some mud that had accumulated in the bottom of it and which was naturally expected, there was nothing found of an objectionable character. To use the language of Dr. W. R. Thompson, who was present representing the Board of Health, "not a feather was found."' The 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 oilicials of the company assure us they desire to give the ver.y best possible service, in keening with its means and will appreciate a little patience on the part of the public. Wo don't blame Judge O'Rear for not wanting national issues discussed in this campaign. The record of the Republicans in the last session of Congress is enough to make even a partisan ashamed.

I told them I would take the 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 They got importation of do so. horses in about three weeks from that time and sent me word to come and get mine. I went and took the mare they had ordered for me, but they asked me if I would just as soon take her home and mate 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 I 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 senci it to They sent it to this man. him. I mated the marc but she did not get in foal. Last spring I wrote the company, asking them it 1 should bring the mare to them or take her back to the horse they sold.

When a seller agrees to deliver anything, animal or article, according to any certain conditions in the order, and the article or animal is delivered, there is an implied warranty that in all respects it complies with those conditions or specifications. In accordance with this general rule 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 did not 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 liable on it. This being so, the sellers are liable for the return of the purchase price and for the necessary expenses and other damage to the buyer.

The jury failed to agree on a verdict and was locked up one night, the baliff escorting the jurors to different dormitories on the top floor of the courthouse building.
