Sixth Ward" People and Others
May Get Chance to Vote On
Coming Into City Corporation
INTERESTING SESSION OF COUNCIL WAS HELD last HlsHT,

The adjourned meeting OF council
was held last night. Councilmeu
Shaw, Nichols. Hawkins, McNeely
Howard. Robinson and Buckley were
present.
The committee appointed on the
question OF extending the corporation
limits OF the city reported that sur.
vey had been made OF two sections
that should be taken into the city.
One Of these sections is known as
Sixth ward and lies back of the First
ward. the other begins at Ninth street.
Fourth ward. and extends to Four.
teenth street.
This matter was discussed at length.
Councilman Robinson thought that the
people in the city and those living
in the territory that is proposed to be
taken In should vote on the question
as to whether 1t should be taken into
the city or not. Councilman Shaw
thought that It was matter in which
the citizens of the territory that Is
in question alone had right to vote.
The matter was disposed of by the fol-
lowing motion made by Mr.. Shaw:
That the coancil request the repre-.
sentatives to the legislature to secure
the passage of bill amending the
charter so as to take in the new terri
tory indicated by the blue print filed
and made by the city engineer, and
that they use their own Judgment as
to the submission of the act to the
people within the territory proposed
to be taken In by petition or other
wise.
The question OF holding elections
bienniaiiy instead Of annually was dis
cussed, but no action was taken.
Treasurer Powell asked that 81 500
be transferred from the water fund
to the sewer and sinking fund to pay
of some interest that was due Janu-
ary I. The transfer was ordered.

G. &. Gose and j. VI. Gosc. of
Menefee county. brothers of ii.
y. Gosc, Democratic nominee for
State Senator. were in the city
Saturday. They report things
good in Menefee. that we may
count on not less than 400 majority
for the Democratic ticket. possibly
more. This is the forecast OF all
the counties in Eastern Kentucky.
The people, Democrats and the
better class of Republicans are de-
termined to see the principle, of
temperance win and since the
Democratic party has championed
the temperance cause and all hopes
of temperance are in the Demo
cratic party, the temperance people
will vote that way. Mr.. Gosc is
an ardent supporter Of the tenn
perance movement and will receive
the temperance vote. When we
know temperance candidate in
Easterns Kentucky we can count
on his election, for the prevailing
is for temperance. Mr..
Gose is emincntly fitted for the
position he asks. is true and cor
rect man morally and otherwise.
and the people cannot do better
than to elect him.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1907-10-30

A prominent Democratic pOliti-
clan, writing from Washington
City, hits the nail squarely on the
head when he says: The idiocy
of Democrats all over the country
in fighting one another when they
should get together and fight the
common enemy. reminds me of the
definition Ben Butler once gave of
the Democratic party. He said it
was like man riding backwards
IN Il railway car-never saw any
thing until it passed it. From its
actions 1.-The present time am in
clined to believe he was about cor
rect. The Democracy never had a
better chance to win the Presiden-
cy, is the opinion of the best infor-
med men of the party who come
here. provided its members can get
together and stop their eternal
pickering among themselves.
With Taft saying in his speeches
that we must not try To reform the
the tariff until after the next cleo
ton, which is the same old song
we have been getting from the Re-
publican party for the past dozen
years, with never move in that
direction, and with Taft the most
likely candidate of the Republican
party, we have the chance of our
lives to prove to the people that
the Republican party is long on
promises and short on performan-
ce, if we can unite on some good
man"
