The Democrats of Hardinsburg have
nominated full ticket for all the town
officers to be elected under their new
charter in November. Ten years ago
they would hardly have thought of doing
such thing for in measure it would
have been useless. The Republicans
then had almost full sway and run the
city government themselves. Gradually
though the boys gained ground on them
and now it hustles a Republican like
smoke TO get little Office out there.
