Our mayor was elected under third

court of appeals has decided that BY
legislative enactment, in transferring
the city Of Paduoah to second class
city, his term was made to expire at

the succeeding term after the expira-

The trainers of the constitution Of

prejudicial to the interests of q city
that q mayor should be permitted to
succeed himself, believing that the
honor of the position should descend
SUCCESSFULLY to others, and that in
making an incumbent ineligible for .

WORDS FROM GOV. BRADLEY.


Former Governor Bradley is out in
an address TO the voters Of Kentucky
which every body should read. II is de-
oidedly the best thing Of the campaign
and shows mp in their true colors the
Democratic machine in Kentucky.
There are lots Of fair Democrats in the
state, but they are not in office, and
are not candidates for office. Cover
nor Bradley has been i'll for the past
two months and intended to take the
stump for the Republican ticket, but
was unable to do So When he finally
found that he would be unable to
speak, he wrote an address to the peo-
pie Of Kentucky, and il is regretted
that il did not come earlier so that ev-
erybody would have chance to read
it. IL is clear, fair, and backed by in.
disputable figures and unanswerable
logic. IL 10 q masterpiece and CON-
pletely exposes the methods OF the
Democratic machine and shows how
much better and more economical .
government Kentucky had under the
four years Of Republican rule. II is

A PARTING SHOT.


The city and state campaign ends
today. The Sun feels that it has done
its duty towards the people, and has
tried during the campaign to refrain
from anything like vituperaricn and
abuse. 1t believes it has succeeded.
Politics is very disagreeable, and a
newspaper often has to oppose some of
its best friends, in political way. Its
first duty, however, is to the public.
Public officers must abide by their reo-
ords, and candidates for public Office
must run the gauntlet of public criti-
cism.
There is now little left to tell the
people of Paduoah. They certainly
know, or most of them do, just what
their public servants have done and az
history repeats itself what they can be
expected to do. Every man who has
been living in Psduoah for any length
of time knows of the unprogressive.
