FOR The G0OD0FALL
Is Democratic Admins
tratiOn of Affairs.
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE RESTORED
And Money is Pouring Into
the State for Invest
ment-New Era.

That Democratic administration OF
public affairs in the State of Ken
lucky tor the last seven years, or
since w. S. Taylor and other Repub-
lican leaders became fugitives from
Justice charged with the blacklist
crime in the history of the Common
wealth, has been for the best inter-
ests of all the people of the State,
and has to a great extent restored
the confidence destroyed by that
crime, is evidenced by the influx of
foreign capital during the last few
years seeking investment. The pub
lie records will bear out the state
ment that more money has poured
into Kentucky during the last half a
dozen years than for a quarter of a
century before that time; that more
firms and corporations with large
capital have been organized within
the State by citizens of other States
in conjunction with citizens of Ken
lucky, and that more of the fortunes
made in Kentucky have been invest
ed within the State, than during any
similar period in the history of the
State
That nothing is more chary than
money seeking investment is well
known fact, and, following the out
rageous Republican crime of 1900, it
was we'll recognized by the best cit
liens of the State that its develop
ment would be greatly retarded, TOR,
while assassination before that time
had been charged solely to the feud
sections of the eastern part OF the
State, it had been committed on the
door stone of the State Capitol. Ev-
cry energy of the Democratic Off
Gals, the party having just returned
to power, was devoted to restoring
that confidence which all felt was
absolutely necessary to the well-beine
of their Commonwealth. How well
they have succeeded is shown on ev-
cry page of the legislative Acts, on
the records of every public office, in
Department reports for the period,
and in financial c.cles not only in
Kentucky but elsewhere.
This condition is nowhere better
shown than in a report just made to
Governor Beckham by Prof. Chas. j,
Norwood, of Lexington, Chief In
spector of Mines and State Geologist
for Kentucky. Prof. Norwood shows
by actual figures reported to him
from the various coal mines in Ken
lucky that the output of commercial
coal in the State has doubled with
/ in the last half a dozen years. From
an output of 5,O20,675 tons of coal
i'm 1900. there has been an increase
of 901S per cent, or a production
last year of a.59S,529 tons. That out
side capital has confidence once again
in Kentucky is shown by the state
ment in the report of Prof. Norwood
that the number of operating COM
panies has increased from ninety-one
working 1913 mines in 1900 to 207,
operating 277 mines last year,
No only in coal. but in other min
erals has outside capital been inter-
ested during these last seven years
of Democratic administration. 1t is
also shown in the Norwood report
that. while there has been a crafty
| ing increase in the production of
coal, there has also been much in
vested in the mining of tluor spar
and barytes, with their associated
lead and zinc ores.
i is shown that the State of Ken
lucky is not only the largest produc-
er of fluor spar in the United States,
but one of the largest producers In
the world, and that it is rapidly com
ing to be one of the important pro-
ducers of barytes.
rhe Democratic administration is
not only keeping up Kentuckys rep
utation for law enforcement and pre-
servation of the rights of her citi-
zens and those who come within her
borders tor the purpose Of investing
their money, hut is looking along all
lines to promote her best interests
ami keep her abreast of her sister
States.
