prefer fulfilling tacit pledge to sup.
port the nominee although he stands
for something they strenuously and

against him and thus defeat what thew
believe to be wront, thsy will supper,
the ticket If they do not they will
support some other one, or spare their
consciences by staying at home.
The other faction should the mem
bers lose in the primary, will have to
choose between voting for men who
are said to be pledged to . policy that
will injure their business and entail
the loss of money, or violate their pri.
mary pledge by voting instead to in.
stall men in office who are not pledged
to fight what they conceive to be their
business interests. IL will be a choice
between a delicate moral obligation
and proposition of hard cash and
business.
The conclusion readily reached is
that the Republicans of Paducah with
ticket of good men, ought to win
easily. If the Republicans will nomi-
nate men who are not extremists and
have no hobbies to ride or axes to
grind, the people who hold the bal
ance of power in Paducah-the bust

pushing Paducah ahesd-will be
quick to rally to their support It
seems plain that one faction of these
Democratic nominees cannot support
the other, and they will naturally
turn to something they can support.

a friend to the people our contempora-

may have been only their peculiar
method Of transscting business but
these city officials have certainly done
a whole lot of "foolin" around In the
street improvement affair, for intelli.

however. we are glad the city is to
have good material. 1t is now hoped

placed in Psducah to get local people
to take an interest in its affairs, and
to assure proper consideration and at.
tention to the business done at this
end. The factory here would start
with capacity Of one thousand
frames daily, all sold, which would
assure beyond doubt. its finan cial sue
cess.
The second proposition is a nov city
and game industry. This company is
capitalized at $4,000, and will put
that amount into machinery. 1t asks
that Paduoah people build the plant
and furnish a site which will cost
81, 900 for which they are to receive
first mortgage bonds on the plant and
machinery bearing 6 per cent interest.
The company has had offers from
other cities of that nature but prefers
to come to Paducah because of its
ideal situation as a shipping and raw
material point. The plant will use
only the short timber md culls, and
will use much that now goes to waste.
It, too, has orders for all the business
it could do with q plant like the one
to be erected.
Now both of these propositions are
good ones, and will be of great benefit
to Psducah. The Rex company will
work, probably, 100 men, at the start,
and the other concern would start with
a fair size force. 1t certainly looks as
If our monied people would be willing
to help out on these PROPOSITIONS. The
Sun, for one. believes they will. Pa
ducahans have ever been ready to lend
their assistance to legitimate PROPOSE
lions as they recognize that in this
way city is built and they will no
doubt see that these two factories are
scored.
The first one, rs stated above, re-
quires the floating of only $4,000 |
more stock, and the second $4,000 of
bonds. Both are amply secured and
are first class investments aside from
a benefit to Psducah.
