ance to the Democraticit ticket for State
offices. And not in any way being can.
didate himself whould he care to do so,
no matter who the candidate might be.
Suppose some member of the General As
sembly who votes for Blackburn should
be nominee on the State ticke, what
explanation or apology could he make for
such false and embarrassing position?
1t is simply indefensible. So far as the
work Of the present excellent admins
tration is concerned Blackburn has placed
himself in the same class with Major
w, c. Owens, Richard Knott and others
of that stripe. And yet he asks the
Democratic members of the General As
sembly give him their support. We
frankly and honestly believe that the re-
election of Blackburn would be in the
nature of disaster to the Kentucky
Democracy, which has proudly and with
ont his assistance, but with his denun-
citation, in the times of the Republican
landslides throughout the rest of the
nation, maintained its supremacy aud
won its splendid victories in the glorious
old Commonwealth.

Second-In the election of State Off
cials two years hence, what effect would
his reelection have upon the chances of
the Democratic ticket then!
We ask careful and serious consid-
Grafton to the answer to these questions.
IN the first place if he should be elected
which we do not consider at all likely
he would be bound to realize that il was
his last appearance as a candidate; that
he could not possibly hope to ever again
run for an Office successfully in Kentucky,
and therefore he would bid farewell to
friends and foes alike, never again to ap-
pear as political. factor in the State. He
has been weaned from the State for a
number years and would not claim a res
idence here except for his candidacy.
Mark our predictionl No matter what
may be the result of the Senatorial
election, defeated or elected, Mr.. Black
burn will hasten to Eastern shores, more
congenial and agreeable to him than
Kentucky soil, and we will hear little
more of him. But the second PROPOSE
tion is Of far more importance and de-
serves the most serious consideration of
those Democrats who have at heart
the real interests and welfare of the par
ty above all factional or personal inter
ests. We ask a patient and impartial
consideration of it. In 1907, less than
two years from now, there will be the
regular State election of Governor aud
all other State officials. What will be
the position OF Mr.. Blackburn in that
election, no matter who the nominees
may be- The campaign before that cleo
ton will be upon State, not national is
sues. The Democratic ticket must sue
ceed OF fail upon the question as to
whether or not the Democratic admins
tration has been good or bad. If il can
be proven to the people of Kentucky
that il has been failure then the ticket
will 60 down in defeat. The Republican
campaign in that election will be, as it
has been in the past, pitched upon an at
tack on the Democratic administration
So it was two yerrs ago, when they we're
driven to the woods on such a policy,
and Governor Beckham and the Demo-
cratic ticket were defeated by nearly a.
600 majority. But hereafter, and espec-
tally in 1907, they win have as their best
political capital the bitter and abu-
sive speeches of Mr.. Blackburn, and
they can not frame more vicious attack
upon Democratic rule in Kentucky than
he has done.for them in his public utter
ances in this race. If he is defeated-as
he will be-then they will amount 10
nothing. But if he should be reelected
by Democratic General Assembly, then
it would be construed as - indc.se
ment of what he had said, and every
Democratic nominee and every supporter
OF the ticket would have hurled at him
in that campaign what Senator Black
burn had said about Democratic rule in
Kentucky. What explanation could be
made to it when the Republicans would

DID RIGHT.

The Fiscal Court did the propel
thing Friday when they grantee
a franchise to certain individuals
for the purpose OF constructing an
interurban railroad between here
and Paris, Kentucky. The par
ties in the move are evidence Of a
speedy construction. Such a
road would not only be Of much
worth to Mt. Sterling. but to the
people at Paris, North Middle
town and all along the line.

WON'T GUESS.

It does not take any guessing
to get near to the reason why the
fricHds of Blackburn are so glad
that Mr.. Haldeman, editor Of the
Louisville Times has declared
himself a candidate for U. S.
Senator. The fact is Senator
Blackburn wants to be Governor
Of Kentucky, and he would rath er
Haldemen be Senator than Payn-
ter.

New Session Laws a Volume Of
1905 Pages.
viii Be Ready for Distribution
in Few Days.
MANY LONG MEASURES
One Law Requires 40 Pages of
the Book.
Some of the Most Important
Enaetments.
[ANY LONG MEASURES

With the publication today of the
session laws, a volume Of 1905 pages,
the largest in the history of the state.
1872 new laws went into effect.
The books Will not be. ready for
public distribution for several days, as
only a limited number of copies were
actually delivered to the secretary of
state to comply with the official date
Of June 8 which appears on the fly
leaf Of the book as the day of publ
cation.
In the session laws of 1903, there
were 85S pages, so that the new vol
ume contains $50 more pages than the
one of two years ago. This is due to
the large number of extremely long
laws which were enacted by the last
session. Among the very long bills are
these:
Negotiable instrument law, 40 pages.
Drainage law, 80 pages.
Omnibus vacation law, p pages.
Board of control law, 20 pages.
A large number of other bills re-
CURED from to 20 pages for their
publication.
The volume shows that a total of
527 laws were passed by the last leg
1slature, besides Is resolutions of vari-
Gus kinds, including three proposed
constitution amendments which will
come I'D at the next election.
How the official state paper gets
in its graft is illustrated by the
fact that of the 527 laws
enacted by the last legisla-
ture, 365 carried a provision for
their publication in the official organ
It made very little difference whether
the bill was OF such a nature that its
immediate publication was necessary
If the author wanted to enable the Off
ctal state paper to get its little rake
off from the state, he provided that
the state paper should publish the bill
Consequently, 365 of the 52T bills
were already in effect when the statute
book appeared today, and only 1852 OF
the laws passed are made effective by
the publication of the book.
Probably the most important laws
which 60 into effect by reason of the
publication of the statute book are the
congressional reapportionment law
and the law providing that a voter can
make cross in the circle Of the party
for which he wishes to vote. but can
make other crosses on other tickets
without invalidaung his ballot.
The following is partial list OF
some of the important general laws
which are printed in the session laws
