A Divided Ticket Elected Yesterday
by the Voters Of Paducah.
The Boosted Democratic Majority Is
Out Down to Very
Small Number.
RESULT OF ELECTION LOCALLY

1t became evident early last even
ing that four Republicans and four
Democrats, had been elected in Padu-
cab.
The boasted majority of 1000 Of
the Democrats OF Paduoah failed to
materialize. The election of their 9TH
or candidates was by comparatively a
narrow margin where there was a Re-
publican opposition.
Three of the present board Of alder.
men were turned down.
Both the street Improvement bond
and the water works filtration ques-
tion were defeated. The vote was wa
ter works proposition yes, 40; no,
700.
Street improvement bonds, yes,
SOC; no, $50. 1t required two-thirds
and hence both were lost.

Mayor Yeiser, when he WAS a can
didate for office. made q plea for Re-
publican votes, and he and his sup
porters claimed he got . number Of
them. II Mayor Yeiser did, which he
himself claims, the Republicans have
never been given representation in any
of his appointments. He is to appoint
three aldermen in q few days, and in
asmuch as four Republicans have been
chosen by majority of the voters to
go into office in Novem Der, the may
or should give the Republicans repre-
sentation on the board when he makes
his appointments. If Mayor Yeiser
got any Republican votes, which he
says he did, the Republicans are emit.

The Republican candidates are to
be congratulated on the splendid races
they ran in Paducah yesterday. Mr..
Adolph James, candidate for city
jailer, is especially to be congratulate
ed, as he was beaten only by very
small majority. Next year it is ex-
pected that the Republicans will
wipe ont every vestige Of the gang in
Paducsh. A full set OF municipal
officers will then be elected, from may
or down, and the Republicans will
be there at the election.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. s, 1909. I
THE WEATHER
PROPOSITIONS WERE DEFEATED

The waterworks ordinance and the
800, 600 bond question, while they re-
ceived majority of votes, were both
defeated. A two-thirds vote was re-
quirsd. Il seems from expressions
heard on the street that despite the
repeated efforts of the press of the
city TO acquaint the people with the
significance Of the two propositions,
they misunderstood them, and voted
therl down. ~ fiy
By defeating the waterworks ordi-
nance, the people voluntarily deprived
themselves of filtered water. The do
feat Of this proposition was due large
ly to the false reports that we're circu-
lated, and the failure of the voter to
properly investigate the facts. A
great many thought the, city was to
vote bonds to. build fltfEfion plant,
others were under the impression that
it was 10 extend the water oompany's
franchise, others believed that water
rents would be raised, and many were
Of the opiuion that the purchasing
CLAUSE was to be abolished. The facts
are that the water oompany's franchise
runs twenty years longer, and in three
years the contract with the city on a
large number of fire hydrants for
which the city has been paying $40
q year rental will expire, and the
water company can demand renew
al at any figure it desires. Had the
ordinance voted on yesterday carried,
the company could at no time charge
more than s25 . year for its hydrants,
which is reasonable, and lower than
most cities now secure. II the water
company, when its contract for by
drants expires, demands more than the
city wants to pay, the city will have
to 90 without fire protection and con-
sequently without insurance, will
have to build system of water works
or purchase the present plant, or pay
Whatever the water company de-
mands. The Sun was in favor Of
the proposition, and believes the peo-
pie will yet regret their action yester-
day in defeating it.
The bond proposition was for build
ing brick or asphalt streets. 1t was
not voting tax on the people, ss
many seemed to think. but was to is
sue 400, 900 bonds to give Psduoah
improved thoroughfsres, the interest
on the bonds to be paid by the money
saved from the street appropriation,
which now ranges from $4,000 to
$26, 200 a year, and is wasted In
worthless repairs. In addition to the
beautiful and substantial streets which
the city would hsve secured, no mon
ey would have had to be expended on
them In improvements, and the mon
ey now spent would more than pay the
interest ON the bonds and give the city
enough to place in the sinking fund,
without increasing taxation cent.
The vote in Psducah shows that
quite a number of persons failed TO
vote one way or the other.

EVERYTHING STILL
RE PUBLICAN.

RE PUBLlCAN.
The Republicans Of the country
are to be congratulated on the splen-
did showing they made everywhere
yesterday. Congress will remain Re.
publican. There Is no doubt but that
more than the usual amount of apathy
was shown by Republicans and the
Democrats sought to take advantage
of it, but the Republicans have elect
ed enough to control both houses, as
usual Tho great and lasting princi-
Piles Of Republicanism have true
friend in the American people, and
the Democrats will never stand aghost
of a show Of running the government
again. The Repu blicans carried New
York, Illinois and other important
states, and in fact got most everything
worth having. The Democrats, as
usual, claim gains" but when the
official figures are in, it will probably
be seen that they have little gain to
show.
