The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1907-08-28

Mr.. II, n. GOse, of Meneft e
county, has been nominated by the
Democracy of the 35th Senatorial
district, composed of the counties
of Menefee, Bath, Rowan, Carter
and Fleming for State Senator.
The convention was held August
Goth and Mr.. GOse was nominated
on the first ballot. We have had
business relations with Mr.. Gose
for years and have found him an
active, correct man.
He has served his county as
County Clerk for two terms. Mr..
Gose is for temperance and the
Democratic principles, the embod-
iment of which is temperance and
higher morals. He is an enhusias-
tic supporter of Governor Beckham
for l.. :. Senator. Mr.. Gose is an
intelligent, careful man and will
make "a valuable Sen; toy. Z

A NOTE FROM OUT OFTOWN

"A note has been received from
Hon. W. 5. Taylor, now soiourn-
inc in Indiana. The statement is
signed by Mr.. Taylor and we
wouldn't be dealing much in fancy
were we to say the Kentucky Re-
publicans hurried him, put words
in his mouth and possibly wrote
the note which is intended for po-
litical thunder.
Well, let's see. Taylor wouM~
come back to Kentucky to testify,
thought he does not know anything
that would help Powers out of his
trouble.O himself stand trial, pro-
vided (here is that mischievous
word if) an unbiased Judge could

PUERILE FALLACIES.

Mr.. Wilson criticises the Gov
ernor because, having been Speak
err, he desired to be Governor, and
having been Governor he sought
to be Senator of the United States.
He criticises Mr.. Hager, who,
having been Treasurer and Audi
tor, desires to be Governor of the
State.
| The Evening Post confesses that
in certain sense it has a sympa-
thy with the general feeling that
this kind of rotation in Office is not
exactly in accordance with the ira
ditional principles of the DemoA
cratic party, with the Jeffersonian
principle of rotation out of office
as well as rotation in Office.
But we have never seen any dis
position among the Republicans in
office to get out of office. They
want one term, then they want
two terms and some Of them APP
piled to the President for the
third term, and there have been
standing candidates in the State
for every vacant place within our
recollection.
Moreover, the two men most
distinguished in the councils of the
Republican party today are the
men whose whole lives since ma
turity have been passed in the
public service. President Roose-
welt has served as Police Commits
sioner, as Commissioner of the
Civil Service, as member of the
Legislature, as Governor of his
State, as Colonel in the army, as
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, as Vice President and as
President for two terms.
1t hardly lies, therefore, in the
mouth of Republican candidate
for Governor of Kentucky, who
has himself frequently been can
didate for Congress and the Sen
ate, to censure Democrats who are
filled with a like ambition. If he
finds in the public career of these
gentlemen grounds for complaints
he should specify them, and he
cannot content himself with solely
Directing to them as chronic Office
holders. Louisville Post, indie
pendent.
The Republican candidate for
Governor has done nothing but
founder since the delivery of his
set speech at Maysville, making
accusations of laudable ambition.
He undertakes to prejudice the
Democracy of Kentucky against
their candidates, because in line of
promotion, they have been WORTH
ly honored. Men will not for a
moment give favorable considera-
ton to such rot. The fact is a
man can not be too well prepared
to enter upon high and responsible
duties. The man capable of max
ing the most acceptable chief eX-
ecutive is the one who has begun
with the initial and has attained to
the highest, making himself prof.
Gent in each department of state
work. Judge Hager has had such |
drilling but Wilson were he elect
ed would be as green to his duties
as Governor as Judge Hager is
trained in his duties and for the
exalted position to which he as.
pires. The-oost exposes Wilson's
puerile fallacies.

WE DO ASK FOR A CHANGE

Sanitary conditions and the APP
pearance of our courthouse wall
demand change. We hope, the
city and county officials will de-
wise some plan whereby there can
be a much needed change. This
is question deserving attention.

Mr.. WILSON ON TEMPER
ANCE.


On first-page are the extracts OF
the Republican Gubernatorial can
Edidate's speech, at opening of his
campaign, bearing on the temper.
ance question. We hope all Dem.
ocrats will read them. They
should know what the leader OF
the opposing party has to say or
this important question so that
they will not be liable to misrepre.
sent or misunderstanding.
We see his honor pledged to the
fulfillment of those views. We
see his warnings to the liquor men
that unless the disorderly saloons
are shut up there is danger that
the whole systemYill be wiped out.
We appreciate his lifelong devo-
ton to and practice of temperance.
We do not like>his declaration:
Il do not believe that absolute
prohibition can be sustained in a
large city, and l believe that the
attempt to do it simply brings the
law into contempt and makes a
great many people feel that there
are laws which cannot be obeyed,
which is very dangerous idea in
a government of the people,"
for it is a concession to the or
ganized and at present legalized
forces of evil.
Why should an attempt to en-
force prohibition laws in, a large
city bring those laws into con-
tempt any more than the attempt
to enforce laws against murder or
rape or theft bring these laws into
contempt The>saloon is an evil,
a snare, a pitfall, inherently bad
and should be exterminated, root
and branch.
He believes that 1t is necessary
to guard against the great evils
which have followed opening the
saloons on Sunday, ETC." and yet
he believes that absolute prohibi-
ton can not be sustained in
great city.
Read carefully what he says in
last paragraph about "a fanatical
demand for the immediate extinc-
ton and destruction of all that is
invested in the manufacture and
sale of spirits"
From present indications the
whiskey manufacturers have had
timely warning, as IN the years
since the agitation began
80 counties out of l19 in Kentucky
have voiced their determination
that the saloons MUST 90 out of
Kentucky. The investors of this
500, 100000. if they are wise, can
begin to hedge, convert to other
uses.
These same, men have built up
their fortunes at the loss of the
virtue, manhood, thrift and eter-
nal happiness of the saloon victims
in Kentucky and other states.
Loss of money does not compare
with loss of these characteristics
and heritages.
There is much highly common
datory in what Mr., Wilson says.

WHERE DID HE STOP 2

|
Is the question giving the Ga
zette no little concern. The place
where Judge Hager was entertain
ed in Mt. Sterling seems to stir
the immortal being of this Repub-
lican contemporary. we nave
tried to tell the editor, of great
worry, plainly and truthfully as
to where the next Governor took
his meals when here, where restful
sleep possessed his manly body,
where he was entertained. Ii we
have not enlightened the gentle
man. then we would refer him to
his host while in the city, lnsur-
ance Commissioner, Hon. h. Il.
Prewitt. A little while back we
had occasion to inquire into the
unsulled character of this great
man and the very reference to a
man of the highest calling was
evidence to us of who he is and
what he would stand for as citl-
zen, politician and christian gen.
tleman. We turn that reference
over to the Gazette editor. Rev.
II. ID. Clark for more than twenty
years the exemplary pastor of the
Mt. Sterling Christian Church not
only knows Judge Hager person
ally, what his people of his nativ-
ity say of him, his influence for
good but has drawn from him eX
periences of grace, repentance
faith, obedience. Rev. Clark's
phone number is 1874, and he will
say to this Republican, in search
of knowledge, what he he has said
to us. Call him.
WHAT JUDGE HAGER STANDS FOR.
That spirit which leads to the
enforcement of enactments and
where laws are not sufficient to
meet emergencies for the creating
of adequate laws and then for
their enforcement to the letter.
For the installing into State offices
men who do things Systematically
and who will protect the interests
of the State, themselves tinanciers,
keeping a proper record of all
transactions. Recent experiences
prove this. He stands for such |
measures as will develop our State
in all its resources. Our people,
giving to them opportunities for
gaining the highest attainments.
For our poor and unfortunate he
would have the State to be liberal. |
On the temperance. question no
man can doubt his position. He
does not stop with laws now on
our statute books but favors such |
other laws as are needful to make
of our people, the purest of Anglo
Saxon blood, the proudest, the
happiest, the purest and most |
highly honored people on earth,
the glory of the world. Where |
did this man stop! All men are
honOred with him as their guest. |
