Restriction Of Cook County is
to Be Paramount.
Deneen Forced by Speaker TO Take
Cosnizancc OF Question During
the Campaign.
THE PLATFORM OF sHURTLEFF.

Springfield. H., Dec. 24.-Informa-
ton from Chicago indicates that after
January the chief issue In the CUB
ernatorial contest wiI7be Chicago
Tvs. the country" When Speaker
shurtleff announced his candidacy for
governor some months ago, he an
lnounced his platform" the princi-
pal plank of which was declaration
in favor of placing a constitutional re-
Istriction on the representation OF
Cook county in the legislature. The
speaker declared that, az IFS present
rate of growth in population, Chicago
within a very few years would abso-
lutely control both branches of the
general assembly.
The issue thus raised by the speak,
er surprised and startled some OF the
politicians, many of whom declared 1t
bad politics" on the part of the
speaker "But this contest is inevita-
ble." Shurtleff replied to his critics
THE sooner We meet it and settle
| Il the better Il will be, both for Chi
| cago and for the rest of the state.
Shurtleff at Work Early.
Mr.. Shurtlef. II will be recalled,
began his campaign and lost no OPP
portunity to present his paramount
issue" But before he got very far
along, the decision of the supreme
court annulling the primary election
law put a quietus, for the time being,
upon all campaign plans.
Gov. Deneen. apparently tired of
waiting for a new primary law, sur
prised the opposition by taking to the
hustings early in December He has
been on the stump three weeks. . Up
to this time he has given particular
prominence TO the Importance of en-
acting a new primary law, and It is
said that he has created a good deal
of primary law sentiment in the coun-
ties in which he has spoken.
But now comes the report that af-
ter January 1 the governor, in his
opttNucos Will blNc INC Nooh Oouhes
restriction issue" the right of way.
This decision Is due. perhaps. to two
circumstances--first. the governor
very likely has discerned some evil
denee of latent sentiment on the
restriction" issue-a slumbering
prejudice against the aggressions of a
mighty city upon the state at large
a prejudice that is likely to be vastly
increased with agitation; second.
Speaker Shurtleff has announced that
he will resume campaigning early in
January. and it is understood that he
will follow closely upon the heels OF
excellency.

advisers in the country have told him
that the "Shurtleff idea"
The governor, however. will de
clare neither for nor against Cook
county restriction. The political sit
Iuation is such that he can not take
sides" on the main question. SO he
will simply take the ground that the
question of restricting Cook county's
representation is one with which the
governor of the state can have moth
ing 10 do: that the proposed result
can be accomplished only by means OF
Ia constitutional amendment: that
such an amendment is possible only
through legislative action; that res
|olution submitting an amendment to
the people must first pass the two
houses by a two-thirds vote. and that
the people themselves must then de-
termine the question; that the COVER
nor has no veto power over a consti-
tutional amendment.

Great Base Ball Game at Central
City, August Z.

1t was advertised throughout West
ern Kentucky that the Boston Nation
al League Base Ball Team would play
at Central City the 9Th of last April,
but just before the team left its
training quarters at Thomasville, Ca,
one of their players, Harry Dolan,
died, and all of their southern exhibit
ton games were cancelled so that the
team could attend the funeral of their
comrade. But Manager John T. May,
of the Central City Athletic Associa-
ton, met President George B. Dovey,
of the Boston National League Base
Ball Company, at Cincinnati, when he
played there a few weeks ago, and
accompanied him to st. Louis and
arranged for him to bring his team
to Central City, Wednesday, August
7th., and this high class base ball at
traction will, without any kind of
doubt, be seen there on that date.
This is an unprecented affair in
fore did a big league team stop to
play a game in a small town, or a
large one, either, in this section of
the country. Central City will enjoy
the distinction of being the only town
south of the Ohio River that ever play
ed a National League team during the
championship season and the people
living in this section of Kentucky
should not fail to avail themselves of
this single opportunity to see such a
ball game. Arrangements will be made
with the railroad for special rates and
excursion trains for those who cannot
accommodated by the regular trains.
The game will be called at 300
o'clock p. m.

IMPORTANT MATTER TO
Be VOTED ON THIS FALL
If Amendment Wins, Only
Men Who Pay Their
Taxes Can Vote.

Few people in this county are IA
miliar with the act that was passed
by the last Legislature which pro-
vides for an amendment to the Con-
stitution, to be voted on at the next
general election. 1t will be submit
ted to the people as an excellent
remedy for the erstwhile voter if it
becomes a law. There will either
be more taxes collected or fewer
votes polled.
If the amendment is adopted, ev-
cry person who wants to vote here
after will do we'll to ascertain wheth-
er or not all of his last years taxes
have been paid and if not, they
must be paid at least sixty days be-
fore the election. If a voter owes
State, county, city or school district
taxes for the year preceding the one
in which the election is held he will
not be allowed to vote. This is the
proposed law and it would cut quite
figure if it was now in effect.
IL the officers do not comply with
the law, and do not allow delinquent
tax payers to vote, they open up a
way for a contest of the election. An
election held under such conditions
would probably be declared void, for
it surely would be illegal. The best
thing under the circumstances for
those who want to vote if the amend
ment carries will be to see that all
taxes are paid before going to the
polls. This applies to everybody, rich
or poor, white or black, Democrat
or Republican

Yours respectfully,
Part of 1905 Crop Sold.

The Louisville Tobacco Warehouse
Company has sold G,500 hogsheads OF
the dark Green river crop of 1905
which was stored by the Green river
branch of the American Society OF
Equity.
The total price that was received
for the tobacco was about 100000
The purchasers came to the terms
which had been fixed by the Society
of Equity.
The Warehouse Company says that
the tobacco was sold to various man.
ufacturers and exporters, and that
none of it was sold to the American
Tobacco Company, the trust.
The consignment was a mixture of
leaf, Tugs and trash. The leaf brought
from $40 to $1,000, while the Tugs and
trash ranged from $3.50 to $6.75 per
hundred. The average would make
the total something over $65O,OOO,
with 100000 as the estimated total.
An officer of the warehouse COM
pany said that the sale is one of the
most remarkable ever made in Louis
vile. The tobacco has been selling
on the breaks at from $3.50 to 81
per hundred.
The consignment was received about
year ago, some of it coming in as
late as October, 1906, but none of it
was disposed of until late in March,
1907.

Dear Sir:--The late contest for

the parties are nearly equally divi-

Jackson candidate, has been elected
by a majority of about twelve hun
bred, yet Mr.. Morehead was elected
by upwards of two thousand votes
and we have nearly two to one in
the lower house of the, assembly for
Mr.. Clay. This satisfies me that
the Clay party is the strongest in
our State by several thousand, If they
will come to the polls; but we are
too negligent and no person will eX-
ert himself to bring the voters to the
election, whilst our opponents are all
life and action and come to the polls
rain or shine. The next Presidential
election l consider the most inlpor-
tant one to the liberties of the people
and prosperity of the country that
ever has taken place; indeed, in my
opinion in a great degree it will de-
eide whether our Government shall
be administered agreeably to the
Constitution or agreeably to the
opinion of the President. without any
regard to the opinion of the people ex
pressed through their representatives
in Congress. / am a candidate for cleo
tor and, my dear sir,let me beg you to
exert yourself and bring your neigh
bors to the election; see them before
hand and appoint some place to meet
at on the morning of the election and
all come in 'togather.
