roads L. the use Of wider ures on the
wagons. No matter what kind Of ma
terial L. used for the construction Of
the road, the width Of the tire IL Of
vital Importance. It IL also vastly to
the interest Of almost every farmer
from an economic standpoint to have
at least q s or 4inch tire In place Of
the old-fashioned narrow tire. The
loads will draw more easily about his
fields and on almost all kinds Of roads.
The wide tired wheels are much
stronger and more lasting and present
much less trouble in the shape Of loose
tires. In many sections their economic
advantages are being recognized and
they are rapidly replacing the narrow
tire. This transition should be hasten
cd as rapidly as possible. All new pur-
chases should be Of the wide sort. So
tires to good roads been recognized
abroad that laws have been passed
regulating the width Of tires. In Ger
many finch tires are required In
France traffic tires must be from to
10 inches wide, according to the
weight Of the load, and the front axle
must be shorter than the rear axle, to
prevent tracking" In Austria wa8-
ons carrying more than two and a
quarter tons are required to have tires
at least 1-3 inches wide and every
load over four and a half tons must
be carried on tires Of 81 inches in
width.-Prairie Farmer.

Republican election officers should
next week be on the alert n every
poll. Seeing that they are beaten the
Yeiser clique will do everything in its
power to get the offices. Every Re
publican election officer is cautioned
not to allow the Democratic officers to
impose on him. The Democratic Off
GERS have heretofore been in the habit
of saying what is the lew and running

but they have no right to DO it and

THE WEATHER.
Partly cloudy tonight and Wednes
day. Rain and warmer Thursday.
ONLY A FROST.

Nothing could more plainly show
the sentiment in this section towards
Governor Beckham than the lack of
enthusiasm and the tmallness of the
crowd. when he spoke here this morn
ing. Democratic managers. in their
desperation, had fire alarm turned
in, and it is said that even the big
bell at Central station refused TO be
come sufficiently thawed out to ring.
At any rate the bell didn't ring bu,
the department split Broadway and
drew she usual crowd in its wake.
Had 1t not been for this happy idea OF
the local Democrats. the governor OF
the state would have addressed . mere
handful Of people in Paducah.
The fact is, Democrats in this sec
tion of the state decline to get enthu.
siastio over Governor Beckham. He

INTIMIDATION EXPOSED.

The dismissal of the case against q
colored voter alleged to have register.
cd illegally in police court this morn.
ing, exposes the game of intimidation
attempted by the Yeiser crowd. AL.
though they have been claiming that
from 200 to 800 Republican voters
were illegally registered, they made
only one arrest to back up such asser-
tions, and the only person thus arrest
ed was the one dismissed today, there
being no evidence against him. There
ia no truth in the claim that Republi-
can voters have registered illegally.
II the Yeiser gang knew Of any they
would nave arrested them all, il there
were q thousand. The whole thing in
. nutshell is that they have undertak.
en- . gigantic blu fl game to keep Re-
publican voters from the polls. Not
content with claiming that 300 COL
ored voters were registered illegally,
and sending notices out to people in.
discriminatory. they handcuffed the
man dismissed this morning and took
him out to the pay car several days
ago so other colored men could see
him and become afraid. The gang
thought that this might intimidste
others. The excuse for Handwriting him
was probably that they were afraid
the prisoner would get away, but q
man charged with murder was o few
days ago allowed to walk through the
streets in front Of an officer without q
sign of handouts. while negro
charged with illegal registration is
handcuffed and taken out ON parade,
apparently ONLY so others could see
him and was kept in jail over q
week before he was finally dismissed
this morning. These cases of attempt
ed intimidation will be brought before
federal grand jury next month, and
some of those who are likely to regre,
their present activity will be the pc
lice officers who instead of earning
their salaries are lending themselves
| to the scheme.

could have attracted almost a. many.
Out Of the $500 Democrats registered
in Paducah only o hundred or two
were on hand. In the small crowd
that surrounded the stand were many
Republicans and others attracted only
by curiosity, but there was almost q
total absence of enthusiasm. The
governor was greeted by one or two
feeble yelps as he arose to speak and
this was the end of it The Demo
Gratis looked ashamed and crestfsllen,
and the Republicans felt ashamed for
them. There is only one solution TO
this frost" accorded the governor Of
Kentucky in Paducsh. 1t is that the
people are not with him. They do
not approve of his administration, and
they will not vote for him. They
have not forgotten what the Democrat
ic state machine did to Hon. John X.
Hendrick, a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination, they have not for
gotten the asylum scandals, the war
fund graft. the pardon and parole out
RACES, and how the soldier boys were
robbed of about SIS 600 to enrich Cap
tain Calhoun. One citizen when this
morning asked why he didn't get mp a
little enthusiasm over his governor re-
piled: ~ don't suppose can be ex-
pected to have . fit over him. His
crowd robbed my boy who was a SOL
der, out Of about $40"
The thing that was made plain by
Governor Beckham's visit to Paducah,
however, was that the people do not
want him, and that they will vote for
Colonel Belknap. 1t 10 with the best
people in the state, "Belknap and

excitement was caused here yesterday
by what looked like an attempt on the
life of President Diaz, who was q
guest of the state government during

no harm.

the man, wrenching the revolver from
his grasp. The police took Toscano to
prison. He IL . man with . bad orim-

GOV. BECKHAM's BLUNDER.

GON. bEOhd AM bLUNDEh.
1t is estimated that Governor Beck.
ham lost several hundred votes in Pa
dcuah today. According to the state
ment of reliable Democrats, he was
cautioned against abiding in any way
directly or indirectly, to local issues.
In his speech. however, he urged DEM
ocrats to vote the straight Democratic
ticket. To stamp under the device
and let it 90 at that. He said that
was sufficient for any good Democrat.
In doing this he has offended three
distinct elements in Paducah. One is
the independents, most of whom are
Democrats. They sent word to him
to "hands of" local issues. and yet
the governor got mp and told Demo
orats to vUte the straight ticket.
which means not to vote the indepen-
dent ticket. Another class offended
are the friends OF Attorney l.. X. Tsy'
lor who is running as an independent
candidate against the Democratic nom
inee, for commonwealth attorney
and Mt. J. Henry Smith, who
is running as an Independent for city
treasurer against tee Democratic
nominee. The frienos of ali Of these
three factions nre very indignant and

themselves, but that they will certain.
