The Commercial club is to be con-

Bath-Rowan district. He alleges fraud.
His name appeared OIL the Bath county
ballots, but in Rowan county the name OF
Mr.. Barber was substituted by being
pasted over the name of Howell. This
substitution was the result of decision

Senators, Representatives, Judges, Con
gressmen, lawyers, ETC.. can come to-
gether for an evenings entertainment
without having the pleasure marred by
the effects of whiskey, champaign, beer
etc. There was no intoxicant to tempt
the weak and thoughtless. Judge
Beckner referred to this in his speech.
We do not know what (if anything or
how much of intoxicants any of the
guests had before the banquet, but during
the banquet there was no drunkenness
or speech or conduct unbecoming gen
tlemen.
This is the third banquet the writer
has attended in Winchester. At each
there has been no wine. However in
temperate the guests may fiave' i,ees-iss
eating, they were temperate, sober III
drinking.
Credit for securing the visiting conf
niittees and the making the banquet a
success is due not only to uhe CONNER
cial club, but to its enterprising, hustling
president, M. T. McEldowney. We are
pleased to notice the interest manifested
in the development of the town.

be for the betterment of the people
it mattered not their source.
Democrats would be proud eL
such a nominee ofsthes RspnblieenFs
for the reason that if a Repqplice''
could be elected we would know
tney had given Of their best and
that there would be little cause OF
alarm from any act on the part OF
Judge Mckee. He could not be
partisan for he is not built that
way, and would represent the en-
tire people. We know of very
few Republicans that would deal
so fairly with all the people.
Democrats would also be proud to
know that if defeated one of the
very best men of the Republican
party had gone down.

HARGIS AND THREE OTHERS
File Contest. Fusicn Candidates
Have Received Certificates
of Election.

James Hargis, Matt Spencer, Thomas
II. Hudson and Hiram Centers filed con-
test proceedings late Saturday afternoon
in the Breathitt Circuit Court for the
offices of County Judge, Sheriff, County
Clerk and Jailer, respectively. The
grounds alleged for the contest are fraud,
bribery and intimidation at the recent
election.
The official canvass of the votes cast
in Breathitt county was made by the
election board, and certificates of election
were issued to the successful candidates,
who will enter upon their duties at the
proper time without regard to the con
test filed. The contest cases will be tried
in Breathitt Circuit Court before Judge
Riddel, unless one side secures a change
of venue or swears the Judge off the
bench. The officers elected will be
sworn in and serve while the contests
are pending in the Circuit Court and the
Court of Appeals, to which they will I'M
doubtedly be taken.

coslsinission, 4 body which emhoiied the
greatest and most representative epgir
neering talent in the world, placed itself
upon record as favoring the construction
of the Panama canal on the sea level.
This decision represents the outcome
Of nearly three months Of hard work.
Early in September the engineers gath
cred from all parts of the world, the
President wishing to avail himself of the
best talent as we'll as to avoid adverse
foreign criticism in the future, had
called on the governments of five ma
tons distinguished for successful con-
struction of great hydraulic works, to
send each one of their best engineers to
assist the American engineers in deci-
sion on the momentous question of con-
structing the Panama Canal at a sea
level, or at greater altitude involving a
system of locks.
The board of engineers is made up
as follows
Alfred Noble, engineer of Pennsylva-
MIA railroad.
William Barclay Parsons engineer of
underground system in New York.
Ishan Randolph, of the Chicago
Drainage Canal
William H. Burr, professor of engi-
neering in Columbia College
F. p. Stearns, hydraulic engineer of
Boston.
Gen H. L. Abbott, one Of the greatest
OF army engineers, who has made a
study of the canal for years.

Canal, appointed by English Govern

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

In this Issue Judge H. Clay

action of the Republican party.
This announcement should please
both the Republicans and Demo.
crRts of the District. The Re-

The Representatives in Congress
would Know he was there, and his
constituency would also know it.
Way back yonder when John
Henry Wilson was in Congress,
some bills were presented asking
for appropriations for public
buildings. Mckee would get
those appropriations. He would
see TO it that the streams that get
mite appropriations in successive
years, and which go down with
the first tide, came all in lump,
and whatever was necessary would
be done permanently. He would
be for measures not because they
were of Republican origin, but
because they had merit that would

AGAINST THE INEVITABLE

If the vote of Breathitt county
as reported is correct, it is to be
hoped the contests OF Judge Har-
gis and others as reported in the
daily papers will be abandoned
Contests are all right when there
is evidence that frauds sufficient
to change results have been prac-
ticed. For the growth of parties
honesty must prevail.
The majorities Of the fusion
ticket in Breathitt are SO large
that public sentiment goes with
them, and if there be any tech
nical errors they will not be
counted. 1t is the people of this
county, regardless Of party afilia-
tons, that have brought out
these majorities, and their sover-
eighty will prevail.
1t is believed that these ma
jorities are the initial steps toward
the adjusting Of conditions in
Breathitt, and if the contestants
would regard their own future
interests, they would humbly bow
to the voice Of the people and be
good.

ELECTRIC LINE.

The Magistrates will be asked
for right of-way over that part OF
the Mt, Sterling & Paris and Mt.
Sterling & Maysville turnpikes
within Montgomery county for an
Electric Line coming from Paris
to Mt. Sterling. We are INFORM
ed that there will be capital suffic-
lent to put the proposed line
through in the shortest time. We
do not anticipate any trouble in
obtaining this right-of-way: Such
a road would be of great value to
Paris and Mt. Sterling, and citi-
zens along the proposed line. 1t
increases the value of lands, of
farm products, makes city-broke
horses of the country horse, in
creasing their value, and adds
greatly to all kinds of produce and
property. We shall encourage
the enterprise. Younger Alex

A CANDIDATE.

In this day Of vote buying it is
expensive to become a candidate
and the majority OF men postpone
a. formal announcement to the
very last moment; one fellow will
want the candidate on his note,
another will want to borrow a
hundred dollars and others
smaller amounts all the way
down the scale to the cost of a
drink. This may be the reason
it has been so hard to find out
whether or not Hon. Frank Hop
kins will stand as a candidate for
Congress to succeed himself. We
have finally pulled the eye-tooth
however, and can Of truth say
Hon. Frank Hopkins is a candi-
date, is ready to give an account
of his stewardship and also a
reason why he should be re-elect-
ed.
