TRICKS FOR WINNING.

The Republicans are crying
loudly that there are fighting
chances of carving tn {
Southern States for no other
reason than to divert the
minds of Democrats off their
rascal means. Democrats are
not asleep and will not be
blinded by any such tricks.
Recently Democrats have dis
covered Republicans import
ing negroes from the South to
Illinois in order to save that
once stronghold of their par
ty. This scheme will not
work and the determined vot-
ers of Illinois are determined
that only legal voters shall
deposit their ballots and that
the vote shall be counted as
cast. The people of our neigh
Dor State are finching under
the CALLING yoke of Republican

NONE EARTHLY.

Eight years ago it took hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
and the corrupt influence of
the railroads and the corpo-
rate power of the State to car
ry Kentucky by a few votes
for Mckinley, What chance
have the Republicans this
year, with these organizations
out of politics, and the gold
Democrats practically all back
in line? Let us make the ma
jority big enough to blot out
the past and stand as a monu-
ment for future guidance.

HALLOWEEN.

There is considerable com
plant from property owners
of the city who claim that their
property suffered severe dam
age at the hands of the Hal
lowe'en boys. 1t is real good
for boys to have fun and play
tricks, but they should never
carry it so far as to damage
or DESTROY property.

remembering the things that
have happened in this county
and in other counties in the
past four years. There needs
to be a quickening of con-
science on the part of some
officers neglections and of
some others regarding the
right of every man Except
those legally debarred) to vote
and to have that vote recorded
and counted as he intended it
should be. Some men, who,
probably, would wish to be
regarded as respectable and
honest, have not hesitated to
take by force and stealth a
ballot-box, or to make false
reports of the ballots cast, and
to count ballots cast for one
candidate as intended for
some other candidate. There
has been too much unlawful
handling of ballots. A man
who will take a ballot book or
falsely report the ballots cast
is thief and deserves a term
in the penitentiary. In this
county four years ago two bal
lot books were stolen from
the Clerks office, and litiga-
ton is now in progress on
account of frauds practiced in
a Breathitt county precinct
involving the Commonwealth
Attorneyship in that district.
The probability is that the
former will receive no atten-
ton at this late date; in the
latter we hope that the candi-
date who received the MAORI

bent, Mr.. Roberts, of Beatty

AROUSING THE PUBLIC

Whenever Judge Parker has
spoken on the issues in this
campaign it has taken the en-
tire Republican organization
to answer him. His exposur-
es of the corrupt practices of
the National Committee has
awakened the public consci-
ence to an appreciation of the
enormity of Roosevelt's off
ense in putting a member of
his Cabinet in position where
he could black-mail the cor
porations.

Eugene A. PhiIbiu.

New York Ang. Tex District At
torney Eugene A Philbin. recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York. is
out for Roosevelt In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt $
devotion to duty:
Those who are forced to admit that
Roosevelt's course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice Of the people he
will take different course.
My personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He is
also a shrewd politician. and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign rela-
tons so that our interests will be best
subserved."

Roosevelt and Irrigation.

What President Roosevelt has said
and doue for national irrigation, which
is the great new hope Of the West, shows
clearly and conclusively that the reclama-
ton act was passed by his assistance,
when it could rot have been passed with
out it. The new homes which will cover
the Western deserts the new home mar
kets for Eastern manufacturers which
these homes will create, the new pros
perity and well being which national ir
rigation is bringing to the whole country
these are the direct results Of the far
sighted action 0f President Roosevelt.

from conviction that the Democratic

party of the days gone by: from the be-
lief that the domination of that party
as ct present constitutes in the nation
would not be conducive to the best in

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS.

Ihey Represent the Highest Type of
Citizenship and Character.
Ihe Republican party is peculiarly for
tunate IN its standard bearers this year.
IN their selection political shrewdness
ana human wisdom are combined, and
surely no better ticket could have been
named than Roosevelt and Fairbanks,
one representing the Empire State of the
Union and the other q leading State OF
the Central West.
The two. men represent the highest
type of American character, yet they
are very unlike in their compartments
and individual traits One is naturally
impulsive, but education and practice
have taught him to curb his impulses by
reason and to make them obey the Sc
Ferest logic. The other is naturally con-
sentative, but his sense of justice and
love of right make him aggressive in
every good cause Mr.. Roosevelt DOS
sesses that quality of genius which en-
ables its possessor often to solve diff
cult problems by a single operation Of
the mind and to reach conclusions al
most at a bound, while Senator Fair
banks mind working by fixed rules and
with mathematical precision leads him
to conclusions that are logically perfect.
Mr.. Roosevelt's impulses are all in the
right direction and never lead him into
making mistak es, while Senator Fair
banks habit OF deliberation makes him
little slower TO act but never prevents
his acting wnen action is required. One
represents the principle of aggressive
ness governed and controlled by intelli-
gent conservatism, and the other the
principle Of conservatism imbued with
the spirit of progress. The two make d
great combination and a winning ticket.

and unqualified support to the Republi-
can national ticket The Pilot seems
to be moved mainly by its approval and
admiration Of President Roosevelt's pub
lie acts in his twenty years Of public
life. 1t declares that mo. man can point
to single act Of his, public or private,
Influenced by prejudice OF race or creed
or color except prejudice in favor Of the
poor, the oppressed or the despised.'
The change in the party alignment Of
this influential Irish American journal is
significant 1t is an instance and evil
dence Of the change which has been 60
ing on for twenty years which has dl-
vided between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote, which formerly
was almost solidly Democratic. The
Democratic party was we'll served by the
Know-Nothing craze which swept the
country for very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the foreign-born voters,
the great majority Of whom at that time
were Irish Cath olics, into the Democratic
party because it was opposed to the
Know Nothings. When the organization
and ideas Of the latter disappeared from
the face Of the earth the Democratic
party retained the advantage which 1t
had gained, and the new immigrants nat
urally joined the political organization
to which their friends and the other
members of their race belonged. A
great many Irishmen broke away from
their old moorings and voted for Blaine
in 1884, and have remained with the
Republican party ever since. These will
vote for Roosevelt this year, and the
Boston .lot points out why other Irish
Americans should do the same thing.
The Iris has race have fourished and
grown strong in this country. They have
improved their condition in many ways.
They have gained wealth. They have
displayed genius for politics and have
found here their opportunity to make the
most of it. A generation ago they were
making our railroads and doing the
rough and heavy work of the country
generally. Now immigrants from the
south and east Of Europe fill the role Of
day aborers for the most part while the
Irish are more likely to be found super
intending the job. They have prospered
and grown with the growth Of the coun-
try. and as they perceive that this coun
try has been for over forty years. ex
cepting very brief interval, under the
sway and dominated by the policies Of
the Republican party, it is not surprising
that Intelligent Irishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed So greatly.
There are many good reasons why
Irishmen should vote the Republican ma
tional ticket. The Pilot however. lays
most of its stress on one consideration.
which is that the candidate OF the Repnh-
lican party. Theodore Roosevelt. lis no
fair weather friend. no favorer Of any
class or creed or race. but just man
and safe one to trust in storm or
caimo
