GOV. BRADLEY EXPLAINS
Why He Called Out Troops -Certif-
cate Issued to Gov. Taylor.

Frankfort, Ky. Dec. 10.-Gov. Brad
ley gave out a lengthy statement, to-
night. He said in part: THE state
board of election commissioners. after
having expressly decided that they
possess no power to go behind the re-
turns, have seen fit to express their
disapprobatiOn of my conduct in calling
out the state Guard. Not contenting
themselves with an expression of dis
approval, however they characterize
my conduct as reprehensible, and yet
they say that they should not form
opinions, and have not the right to form
them on eX-parte affidavits.
But as they have seen proper to
overStep their duties in order to eX-
press condemnation, | Will now give to
the public the facts Of the case. In the
first place, | did not equip the Legion
in order that they should be used in the
election as reported. After the three
State Guard regiments enlisted in the
government service, | took steps TO re-
organize it. knowing that the services
Of troops might possibly be needed al
any moment to protect the public
peace"
Gov. Bradley then explained in detail
the history of the events leading up to
the ordering of the troops to the armor
les on election day, movement which
he contends was simply and solely for
keeping the peace.
The election certificate of William S.
Taylor was signed by the election COM
missioners, Saturday, and he was de
clared to be governor elect of Ken
lucky.
The official figures Of the vote filed
with the secretary of state, Mr.. Finley,
are: Taylor. 1913. III; Goebel 19l ,331;
Taylor's plurality, 1888. The certif-
Gates. as soon as signed, We're filed with
the secretary of state. and a commits
sion will be issued to Taylor at once by
Boy. Bradley.

REV. FRANK SANFORD
lnvades Brother Branch's Territory and Opens
Meetings in This City.

Rev. F. w. Sandford. to whom John
Branch says he can give a thousand
points on the right manner of living
is meeting Brother Branch in his own
territory. Brother Branch. as he pre-
fers to be called, says that the Lord
has given him a special work in this
territory. but Rev. Mr.. Sanford is,
nevertheless. working in this field.
He began his labors here. Saturday
night Thayer's hall has been engaged
for the meetings. Saturday night. the
attendance was not large. His fame
had spread by Sunday night, and then
the hall was filled. Mr.. Branch is con-
WINGED that Rev. Mr.. Sanford is right
in many particulars, but claims his
rival does not know the full truth At
any rate. he wishes to meet him in q
discussion.
AS a public speaker Rev. Mr.. Sand.
ford differs but little from the ordinary
minister. He is perhaps more ener-
getic and speaks with an enthusiasm
that shows how thoroughly he believes
in his work. While he speaks he holds
his Bible continually in his hand and
frequently refers to it, During his
sermon he said in speaking of the re-
spect a man of the world had for a
man of God:

lege. Even among the wild boys there

account Of the prayer at just that time
but through six years life with God. 1t
is one thing to have a religion Of senti-
ment and another to give up everything
from January TO January. Since | have
started out on these deep lines | have
had even atheists respect the work.
There is such a thing as being 50 true
that even your bones will be glad. You
don't believe you can get religion in your
bones.''
He then told the story of Elisha, that
a dead body was put onto the bones and
the bones We're SO full of God that the
dead body became filled with life.

DANCES IN ARMORY.
Local Militia Undecided as TO VIII Action 10
Take

The law recently made. that the armo-
ries Of the National Guard Shall not D.,
let for dances will probably have as
much if not more effect in this city as
anywhere in this locality. According IL
the laws ii is necessary for the city to
provide an armory for the use of the
militia. slight change is made in the
case Of the militia in this city. That il
that the city does not hire the armory
direct but subleases it, Thayer's hall
the present armory is hired by Captain
Shurtleff, the captain of the local COM
pany. Should the city hire the armory
direct it would be at a much greater ex-
pense than where it is hired from Cap
tain Shurtleff. That the difference may
be made up Captain Shurtleff subjects the
hall for dances and other purposes. In
fact this is the only hall with the excep-
ton of the knights of Columbus hall that
is available for such purposes Even as
it is Captain Shurtleff says that he gets
but little more out Of the hall than
enough To pay for the ianitor and heat
ing. With the revenue from dances taken
out there would be a decided decrease in
the income.
The only other halls that are available
are the Knights of Columbus the Golden
Cross and Soper's hall. Each Of these is
rather small for large dances Further
Soper's hall is available only two nights
in the week, and the Knights of Column
bus hall is let a good part of the time Is
il is used by secret societies
What the outcome will be is a matter
Of question.

We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see a man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. 1t does not make anv diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result OF dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease ; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
eases OF debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Nlnol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. 1t contains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use OF these properties is 50 well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject
We could quote many instances where
Nlnol has done good; as an example,
