RELY ON FAIRBANKS
KENTUCKY REPUBLICANs THINK
 HE WILL HELP,
vice President Is To Make Numbes of Speeches for His Pnrty--Iu- eensistcnt situation Tn
 Loufsvif3e.

Louisville. ky. Oct. 9--(speciai. )--- Vice President Fairbanks will come to Kentucky the latter part of next week. arriving October 25. and he will de- liver number of speeches in behalf of the Republican ticket.
 He will address the voters of the Seventh. Eighth. Tenth and Eleventh Districts, bringing his tour to a close with big rally in Louisville, at which speeches will also be made by MT. Will son. the Republican gubernatorial ran- dfdate. and Mir. Grinstead. the Republt- can aspirant for Mayor of Louisville.
 The Republicans rely largely upon MT. Fairbanks in the effort to convince the voters of Kentucky that there should be change of crews on the ship of state. and they are making elaborate Preparations to receive him and to bring out the voters at the ya- riosls meetings.
 The Democrats, on turning into the home stretch, are being assisted hy Senator McCreary, who made his first speech of the campaign at winches- ter tonight. and who will deliver q number of other addresses during the remaining days of the campaign. It is the intention4f tho Democratic mana gers to hold big rallies in every pre- cinct in the State between now and election day, November $, and every effort will be made to bring out the votera.
 The First. Fifths and Eleventh dis. tricts win be the scenes of the most determined work on the part of both sides. The First District is the Dem ocratic stronghold and the Republicans are making every effort to reduce the majority The Eleventh District, on the other hand, is the stronghold of the Republicans. and the Democrats are making a determined effort to cut this majority down to the minimum. The most critical point. however, is the Fifth District, in which the City of Louisville is located. and which polls the largest vote of any district in the State. The Democratic chairman con- cedes that this district is doubtful, while the Republicans claim it by from five to ten thousand majority. Ordinar- Sly the. district is Democratic, but ow- Ing taf3he remarkable conditions that prevaiT at this time the outcome is Very uncertain.
 The odd spectacle of the Democrat.c' State ticket standing for extreme tenn; perance measures and a strict observ-. hnce of the sunday closing laws. and the Democratic city ticket in Loufs- vile standing for wide open town" Including open saloons on sunday, iy presented in the Fifth District and either the State or the city ticket Is slated for defeat unless there is a great deal of extremely incinsfstent voting.
 The Republicans are making the most out of this condition and have succeeded in stirring up the temper. Anee forces. not only in Louisville and the Fifth District. but in the State at large. and the threat is be- ing clearly made that if Mir. Tyler, the Democratic candidate foi Mayor of Louisville, and the ticket be- hind him is elected that a fight for straightout prohibition will be made In the next Legislature and that the whole State will be put on the dry list
 That the temperance forces are able to do this is reasonable. since out of ffg counties in the State, 100 are now "dry and the temperance wave seems to be growing in volume rather than diminishing. As an evidence of the strength of the moral movement" in- vesligatfon shows that nearly two doz- en sof the Democratic legislative nom- inees throughout the State are minis ters of the gospel.
 While there is an clement of doubt as to the outcome of the approaching election so far as the State ticket Is concerned, there is no doubt about the next Legislature being Democratic. Nothing short of a political earthquake could wrest control of the Legislature from the Democrats.
