CONCERNING the recent Kentucky
election, in which the epublicsns
showed such Unlocked for strength,
the New Orleans Item says:
even the rock ribbed dark and
bloody ground" of Kentucky has been
invads ed by men of decided, however
erroneous, opinions. For the first
time in ever so many years, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor is
obliged to accept his honors at the
hands of a minority of the voters of
the grand old common wealth. At the
recent election III votes were cast
for governor, of which John Young
Brown (democrst) received LA, 1873,
or 1885 per cent; Wood Republican,,
116,0S7- or 40.l4 per cent: Erwin
(People's). %, 631, or little over per
cent and Harris (Pro.) 1921, or less
than IL per cent. Browns pluraii-
ty over wood is 28,081, but he lacks
$40 votes of majority over all. The
peoples party have a very poor show
ing on the state ticket in these returns
which are official"
This was the election in which the
peoples party boosted of their ability
to carry the state and tried to fool the
country into accepting the assurance
These figures are decidedly sugges-
tive, showing that the peoples party
did not reduce the republican vote an
appreciable atom, that vote being
in excess of the vote cast for governor
by the republicans ia the last state
election.

The expectations for the month of
November amount 10 S24,5S8,-

increase is principally in wheat,
corn, barley aud -four, and the des-
tination is largely in the direction of

els. This astounding exportltion is,
of course not entirely due To the
wisdom of republican craftsmanship,
but that they are entitled in a great
to the credit, goes without
saying. The United States will be in
another decade the most indepond-
ent nation on the globe. Her indus
tries are confined to no single line Of
manufacture, and her harvest covers
every cerial named In the lexicon.
Her ships will find entry in every
