KEHoE'S RACE CLOSE.

The election last Tuesday was a
landslide OF such huge proportions
that the result surprised everybody.

ton that you want to know and that
Is not It'd in these columns, Just
consider that it has gone Republican
All the States that were considered
doubtful before the election went for
Roosevelt decisively. His majority
in the electoral college will probably
be the largest ever given.
Kentucky is about the only State
that ever went astray before and re-
mained in the Democratic column this
time. The majority is not unusually
large, but we are thankful for small
favors this time.
West Virginia is Republican all the
way through.
Even Missouri has given It's vote to
Roosevelt, but the State has elected
Folk, Democrat, for Governor.
Pike county gave Republican ma
jority of $50 with one precinct unre-
ported.
Tennessee is still In the Democratic
column by large majority, although
first reports gave 1t as Republican.
The returns from the Ninth district
are all in except one precinct and
/, the two candidates are within II
votes of each other. 1t will require
the official count to decide the race
The race for Congress in this dis
trict is so close that both candidates
are claiming 1t.
Il A report from up Sandy says tina
Dingus, Republican, is elected Cir
cult Judge over Gardner in the dis
trict composed of Knott, Floyd an,
, Magoffin counties.
Johnson county gave Republican
majority OF 1923 The unofficial fig
ures in Lawrence county give the r
publicans a majority of 226. KeAp

sian professor begged the Academy OF
Science 10 publicly refute the assertion.
The comet came, hlazed awhile in the
sky and vanished. Its period of revo-
luton round the sun being Just under
seven years. il came again i'm 1899 and
was due once more early in 1916. But
in that year. instead of ore comet. two
appeared. The original comet had di-
vided into two parts. each OF which
had a separate existence. though their
paths were the same
In 1892 the two comets again came
flying into sight. Their path in 1859
was too close TO the sun for telescopic
scrutiny. but in 1866 it was expected
that they would Ice plainly visible BUT
the double comet never turned up. Nor
has IL ever been seen since
Comets are naturally somewhat un-
reliable They are of very flimSy tex
ture. One great astronomer indeed has
said that you could pack the tail Of the
