THE PRIMARY.

The sO-caIIed primary election
last Tuesday was the greatest farce
ever enacted IN Breathitt county.
Although the ballots were here
several days before the election,
none were sent to Lost Creek.
Spring Fork ElIiOttsville. or
Buck Horn which are tie
four largest Democratic precincts
IN the county. Ever since We can
remember these four precincts
were relied on to give whatsoever
Democratic majority Bretthitt cou-
nty could return and before the
era Of the machine rule in this cOn-
mtg they we're almost solidy DEM
ocTatic. These precincts include
all Of the voters Of Troublesome
creek and a part of the North Fork
Of the Kentucky river and almost
all Of Quickssnd creek and com
prise more than one-third of the
area Of Breathitt county, vet they
were wholly disfraDchised in this
primary because they would have
been liable to cast a good majority
Of their votes for McCreary and
Hays. No list Of officers was ever
published and the chairman told
us on Sunday evening less than
two days before the election that
he had no list. We have not seen
any Of the returns from the pri-
mary. but we are told that the
votes cast were almost soiidiy for
Beckham and Hager and that their
majoritics far exceeded the total
vote cast for Hopkins the same
day. We are told that % votes were
cast in .Iakson precinct NO.2. "a
of which were stenciled exactly
alike for Beckham. Hager and the
minor offices. Who believes that
such a thing could have happened
had the election been carried out
legally. We don't know who were
the officers in the primary as there
were none where we were. but we
hope that they will be able to ex-
plain how all the ballots cast were
50 nearly alike, and we hope that
some one will be able to explain
how so many men who were for
McCreary changed their minds 50
suddenly.
We had hoped all along that
this primary would be conducted
50 fairly that no one could have

We beg leave to offer for the con

at the proposition from q pecun-

would sustain no financial IOss by
the proposed increase. No right
thinking man can gsiDsay the
statement that such course would
have very purifying effect upon
our city: the dives would go and
the people would bc given partial
relief at least, We hope that orr

Of our citizenship and approve the
ordinance offered heretofore by
Councilman Wade. ItshOuId ever
be born in mind that only few

and only lacked few votes Of chr

made, in spite Of the effective use

breweries Of the State. In the
election just over, the influence Of

high license. the temperance peo-
pie are strengthened by strong
element Of our citizenship that OPP
pose local option. but favor high |
license and strict police protec-

that this idea is favored by
majority Of our people. We will
suggest in the most kindly spirit.
that public officials, as well as
