him because he had done what he
considered right. Later Ross left
the Republican party, and in 1880
he was the nominee of the Demo-

ADVANCE MOVEMENT.

Since the Cammack County
Unit Bill became a law 20 cOun-
ties in Kentucky have voted dry
within about ii months. That
law has been declared constitu-
tional. 1t gives cities of the first,
second. third and fourth classes a
right to a separate election on
same day as county election and if
such towns vote wet they are wet,
although the county as whole
votes dry. An advance movement
will be made to so amend that law
as to give complete county unit
bill. thus enabling such counties as
Montgomery. Clark. Bourbon and
a few others to entirely vote out
saloons unless majority of voters
in entire county prefer saloons.
