Ovens plurality, 4o. .,,.
Breckinridge leaders claim that in
Scott county Owens received many
fraudulent votes, as 600 more demo-
Gratis voted in this county Saturday
than at the last election. Desha
Breckinridge said he was conf
dent of his fathers election.
Said he: ~ cannot give out
statement by counties, but our latest
reports reduce Owens plurality to 141.
am sure that the count will be given
| us by the district committee when it
meets. ii it does not ] am not pre-
| pared to say what will follow; may be
| a contest" There was report Satur-
| day afternoon that Owens, Settle and
Breckenridge would each issue card to
| the public. This was on the theory
| that Brcckintidge was about to
contest the election. Breckenridge alb
| soluteIy refuses to talk. The most
| thorough investigation failed to find
ground for the. rumor. Everybody is
thoroughly tired of the fierce contest
that terminated in the primaries.
A nota BILE indicati ton here is the
| dofiing of Brecliinride badges and the
donning of Owens badges by the most
ardent young men who supported
| Breckinridge throughout the cam
paign with their money and their
personal services. These men say
| that they went to the election Satur
day, believing that every voter at the
primaries was morally bound to sup
port the nominee. Now that their IA
vorite for whom they fought SO val
iantly seems to have suffered defeat
they feel in honor bound to support his
opponent
FRANKFORT, Ky, Sept. 17.-Breclin-
ridge men here are reluctant to ac-
knowledge their defeat. Some of
them are still claiming the nomina-
ton of Col. Breckinridge by small
majority. They base their hopes of
contesting the election on the fact
that the Owens county vote fell of 500
| from last fall. Chairman Gains, OF
the Breckenridge committee here,
| went to Lexington to consult
with party leaders there. Owens men
claim the nomination by 241 votes.
FRANKFORT Ky Sept. l7.-News has
been received here of u double killing
| in Lockport II miles from Eminence,
in Henry county. Jim fIosllins, an
Owens man, and Wallaclt, Breclsin-
ridge man, had a fight at the polls
Hoslkins shot Walla ce, after which
Wallace drew knife and stabbed his
opponent repeatedly. Wallace is dead
and Hoskins cannot recover.
PARIS. KY, Sept. 17.-At Riddles
Mills, this county, at : o'clock Sunday
morning Ben Duval shot and fatally
wounded Ed Faulkner, aged %. The
trouble originated over the former
challenging the latter's vote at the
election Saturday.
The most eventful primary in the history
OF Kentucky, II not the entire country. was the
one OF Saturday when u democratic candidate
for congress was chosen for the Ash
land district. 1t has been re-
markable campaign, and has attracted
attention by reason OF the fact
that the principal candidate had been a repre-
resentatiye Of this district for ten years was
considered one OF the most polished orators OF
| the land and that he had fallen When the
sensational charges were brought against
him BY Il Madeline Pollard hundreds OF
his best friends believed he would no,
make the race; and when the trial was de-
cided against him they were surprised ant
| shocked when he announced his determination
to ask the people to return him to congress
| Then followed the uprising OF the people il
May and June, when they held indignation
meetings.
The women took up the fight and pushed 4,
| until the last hour. They have made the fight
| in rph n n ic m
| the streets, in the stores and In their homes
| They have allowed no opportunity to escape
| them and fought Breckinyidge with that snmt
| determination and herolsm that marked tn,
| pioneer women OF Kentucky, when they
helped their fathers and sons to fight the In
| danS.
| The Breckinridges have talked of them IL
every way; called them brazen female pollti
clans. referred to them short-hared women
have said they would better be at home at
tending 10 their children and household du
ties, but nothing deferred these noble women
They braYed all censure and even faced the
tongue Of slander to carry out the work OF re
tlrlng from congress the present representa-
tive.
They have gone out among the people ant
have collected many hundreds of dollars to ni(
Mr., Owens In his campaign. They regarded i
as q fight for the honor OF their homes, for tn,
purity OF their sons and daughters. 1t was
woman is war and nothing but womanS wa
could have awakened such widespread ant
self-sacritciug opposition to the former lido
