The city councils losing no time
in letting the contract for the con-
struction of the waterworks. They
will give the contract out on the
23rd of August. This is done for
the fact that it generally takes about
so days for the contractor to get
materials from the iron foundries,
and so the sooner the contract is
awarded the better for the city in
the matter of getting the actual
work of construction under way.

SOME FOXY POLITICS
Contained in Republican
State Platform.
LIQUOR PLANK A PLAIN DODGE
Will Attempt to Play Both
Y the Liquor and Temper
ance Sides.

Louisville, KY, June 24.-Some foxy
politics was played by the Republic
ans in framing their state platform,
and this fact is beginning to dawn
, on the Democrats. 1t was plain when
the resolutions committee made its
report to the State convention We'd
nesday night that the party's stand on
local option was a weak. stand, and
one which did not mean much. The
politicians who controlled this plank,
however, take the view that the DEM
ocrats have no platform at all, and
shat the only way the Democrats are
committed to local option is by the
policy of Governor Beckham and the
recently written letter of s. w. Ha-
ger, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. The temperance element will
lose no time in smoking out" Mr. A.
e. Wilson as to his position on
temperance, the enforcement of the
Sunday laws and kindred subjects.
He can appeal to the temperance ele-
ment by writing much the same sort
of letter as Mr.. Hager wrote, but at
licit the support of the liquor inter-
ests by saying Our platform makes
no war on your business. The DEM
,scrats have interfered with your in
terests and of course will continue to
do so II kept in power. We have not
harmed you, and as long as you
know what the Democrats will do
and not know what we will do, your
logical position is with the Republic
ans"
The Republicans are also pointing
It out to the liquor interests and al
lowing it to be known that six MEM
bers of the resolutions committee did
not want any reference made to the
liquor question at all.
With a plank in the platform which
cannot help but tickle the liquor men,
the Republicans then proceeded to
make a strong bid for the vote of the
temperance and church element by de-
handing the repeal of the act Great
ing the Kentucky racing commission.
The demand for a non-partisan judic-
larry school system and non-partisan
boards to conduct the charitable In
situations was a bait for Independent
votes.
