PURGE THE PARTY.

A good Democrat is the most de-
eirable citizen We know of, except a
good Republican, good Prohibi-
Zionist. a good Socialist or an honest
independent voter. He Is no whit
less desirable than any of these.
We admire a good Democrat; q
Democrat who is a Democrat, be-
cause, on the whole, that party rep
resents those ideas of government
and policies, which he considers
unrest and best; who insists on his
marty living up to its ideals and ira
ditions, both in the character OF it,
headers and the purpose of its meas
ores. and whose jealous regard for
the good name and welfare of his
marty leads him to take an active in
1erest In the organization.
We believe good Democrat is
Arst a good citizen. He owes a
higher duty to his country and state
than he does to his party. It is
necessarily so, because his party
,0lliation is but the means he
adouts TO express his views at the
general election on governmental
nolicies. and when his chosen party
neparts from those views and poll
cice or conditions change, rendering
>hem unsatisfactory, party allegiance
becomes a form OF political servitude
a. the voter and the name an empty
sound.
The good Democrat or the good
nepublican sometimes feels under
-obiisation to his party, as a party Of
~rinciple; but never to any coterie
~ self-rising politicians. who from

the latch string is on the outside, and
the hand clasp awaits you. II should
be remembered, however, that after a
time the door will he closed"
And what have they to offer in
support of this ticket?
Nothing but the most malicious
falsehoods they can utter against the
Republican ticket.
The answer is the Republican ticket
itself. James p. Smith is known 10
almost every voter as a frst-class
business man and a good citizen. He
Is, perhaps, the city's biggest indi-
vidual taxpayer. He was born and
reared here and his fathers business.
which he inherited and has increased,
is a Paducah institution. Politics is
neither a diversion nor an ambition
with him. Public Office means. in
one sense, a material sacrifice to him.
He consented TO make the race only
upon the solicitation of business men
to save the city from exploitation by
machine politicians. He promises
nothing but an administration devot-
ed to the legitimate promotion of Pa
ducah's progress and the economical
management of the public's funds.
The personnel of the ticket is suffi-
Client TO allay any fears aroused by
the false alarms Of the Democratic
organ.
Is there not not some need for
reform in Democratic leadership in
Kentucky? Is there ever to be
time like the present to purge tn,
party of its false prophets and save
Kentucky from disgrace and ruin?

Two years ago Ohio, a state Re
publican by 100000 majority, went
Democratic.
That result was not achieved by
a change OF party principles on the
part Of $4,000 voters; nor was 1t by
reason Of an overwhelming influx Of
Democrats. Ohio is more strongly
Republican now than she was two
years ago. She is more strongly
Republican by reason Of the fact that
the Democrats carried the state.
The Republican party is stronger
and better because certain politicians
were discredited and relegated to OBJ
livion and others warned that they
must present men and measures to
meet the approval of an independent,
discerning constituency. Ohio is not
a Democratic state, because. she
elected a Democratic governor two
years ago, nor is Cincinnati a Demo-
cratic city, because she elected a
Democratic mayor. The men, who
voted for these two officials, DO not
consider that they lost caste by eX-
erclsing the right of freemen. They
rightfully consider themselves good
Republicans. They were playing the
part of good Republicans and pa
triotic citizens when they purgei
their party OF bad bosses.
Kentucklans have duty to per-
form this fall. Kentucky Democrats
are facing a crisis. They have seen
their old leaders retired and replaced
by mere politicians. They see a ma
chine in the capitol, that rotates in
Office men whose service is tainted
with iniquity. and men who have re-
duced the meaning of Democratic
success to their systematic progress
sion through Offices, hallowed by the
traditions of craftsmanship and pa
triotic service.
Opposed TO this system. the Re-
publican party this year presents a
man, who upholds the highest ideals
of Kentucky politics, and who ap-
peals to the best that Is in our citi-
zenship. His arguments are met
with appeals to the most ignoble pas
sions that could degrade mankind.
In our city AFFAIRS, we see the
wheels Of the state machine turn coz
in cog with a subsidiary machine OF
local politics. We see a representative
from Frankfort. one well known TO
our people, assuming the functions of
pro-consul, to insure the will and
methods OF the "machnocrats" al
Frankfort are carried out.

fishes may have set up for prophets
on their own hook and attempted TO
make allegiance TO their selfish in
terest the test of party loyalty.
Sailors in the navy must follow
and obey the flagship; but when her
crew mutinies and hoists the black
pennant of piracy and sails out, not
to meet a foe, but to prey of legiti-
mate commerce, must the other ships
follow and aid the piratical crew in
their depredations against the pub
lie wealth, or must they turn thei-
guns on the flagship and drive the
pirates from the craft?
As a good partisan, having the
welfare of his party at heart. some
times It becomes necessary for the
voter to purge his party; TO drive
out the time servers and restore tn,
organization to the purity of its
principles. He owes that obligation
as a citizen of the state and country.
When the ablest and most upright
men Of a party are relegated to pri
vate life and men of mediocre ability.
of immoral character and dissolute
habits are placed in command; when.
unable to face a direct challenge on
the issues of campaign, or when in
a local campaign, the personnel OF
the ticket in any particular fails to
be representative Of the community's
true citizenship, and resort is had to
and appeals to prejudice;
these are symptoms, which the good
partisan may not ignore.

What does the success OF the Dem
ocratic ticket mean?
1t means the encouragement Of an
obnoxious machine at Frankfort.
which, while 1t dissipates the states
wealth in perpetuating itself, stunts
the development OF Kentucky's re-
sources and blights the aspirations OF
her young men. II means the final re-
tirement Of local party leaders, the
dominance of aliens in our home
affairs and the reduction OF the Dem
ocratic party in McCracken county
to subservience to the ends Of tn,
machine at Frankfort, and the adop-
ton of Franklin county election meth
DDS in Paducah.
II means that men who have
fought the battles of Democracy
through many a hard struggle, have
been driven out Of the party councils

maligned, but now they are being
scourged into a pretext OF loyalty 10

Some Kentucky papers now are
trying to show that Bryan made Il
tour of the state in the expectation
and under the promise that the Demo-
cratic machine would support him
next year. In view of the fact, that
the Kentucky State Journal. the ad-
mnistration mouthpiece. and the
Courier-Journal, the anti-administra-
ton spokesman, both warned Bryan
when he entered the state not to
mentation the national policies, which
he has made peculiarly his own. be-
cause those ideas are "repugnant' to
Kentucky Democrats, It seems illogi-
cal to believe that either ring Of the
state organization will support Mr..
Bryan's policies in the national con-
vention. The consideration for hin
trip over the state in the sumptuous

thing else.
