Louisville-At this hour, noon, the adj |

show that the heaviest vote in Ken |

a guess as TO the result. Word comes |
from Shelby county which has normal |
Democratic majority OF 1000, that the |
Bryanites claim it by only 200 while the |
McKinleyites claim they will carry it |
by small majority. This county usu- |
ally elects the Democratic congressman |
IN the Eighth district. In the strongly |
Republican eastern section tremend- |
Gus vote is being poiled and the same is
the case in the equally strong Democrat |
ic western sections. The state is a royal |
battle-ground and the Republicans seem
to be more than holding their own.
