The following week was a hard one

a Republican journal has said:
Wilson makes a new speech each

vice versa, does keep the distin-

Wilson's much lodging reminds
US of the predestinarian's story of

HAVE YOU READ?

In a card sent out to the teach
ers of the state, Mr.. Crabbe, Re-

creed. The production is really
wonderful in that he has been suf-
ficiently brilliant to declare for
himself either the methods of the
Democratic administration, what
they are bringing to pass or is in
course of realizing. While we are
ulad to know that Mr.. Crabbe is
theoretically correct in the adop-
ton Of Democratic measures, we,
like others, would have been

ATTENTION, TOBACCO MEN I

j. Morgan Chinn, Clerk of the
Kentucky Court of Appeals, in u
recent speech in Franklin county
threw hot shot into the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor, Mr..
Augustus f. Wilson, by calling
attention to the fact that in a case
decided last week in the Court of
Appeals, wherein the American
Tobacco Company was a party,
that said Wilson, who is now pos
ing as the friend of the farmers,
appeared as the attorney and de-
fender of their most bitter enemy,
the tobacco trust. On the other
hapd we find the Democratic adj
ministration fighting the farmers
battles and at the last session of
the Legislature a law was passed
(Which was approved by the Gov
ernor March 81, 1906. authorizing
the farmers of Kentucky to pool
their crops of wheat, tobacco, etc,
in order that they might be ableto
fight Mr.. Wilson's. friend, the
American Tobacco Company and
similar trusts.
Voters, will you vote for man
who for a fee would deprive you
of the protection given you by the
Legislature 1t now comes to
pass that Wilson is counsel for the
Farmers, he is not your friend.

peals bears out this statement.

DEMOCRATS p ROU ID OF
THEIR RECORD.

Our Public Schools are in fine
shape and improving With each
year. The increased per capita
for the school fund insures salts
fed teachers. We, have competent
teachers now and under our pres
ent system they will improve. We
do not know of any State with
more competent teachers than
there are in Kentucky. The State
stands pledged by our candidates
for a Great University. Under
Democratic management we would
have it. Republicans would be
long time providing such an insti
tuition. The people are getting
better schools with each passing
year. The teachers cannot secure
certificate without good moral
character. Hence the lines APP
proved and followed by Democrats
are securing the most helpful re-
suits, the best schools, longer
terms, better pay, satisfied, ag-
gressive teachers. The Democratic
nominees are correct men, expert
enced in state work and will be
kept in charge, pushing forward
this laudable work.

THE TELEPOST

The Telepost is a recent inven-
ton by which Geographic service
is facilitated almost a hundred per
cent, very much cheapened and
yields greater profit to the pro-
iectors. A message of so words
can be sent to any part of the
United States for % cents and
yield profit to the investors of
II cents per message. The follow
ing is a comparison of costs be-
tween the old and the new services:
Average charge for the old com
panies per 10 words, Lie; net
cost per message to the older COM
panies, 27.6c: net profit to the old
er companies, 4.c; telepost charge
per 80 words, $50: net cost to the
company, 1l.0: net profit per mes
cage to the company, l4.O.
According to this showing if the
old company could become very
rich then the new would have a
brighter financial sailing. Itthere-
fore appears that there is revo-
luton in telegraphy is at hand and
that the person fortunate to get on
the ground floor has an assured
fortune.

A FALSEHOOD NAILED.

Wilson should have some re
gard for truth. He has declared
to the people who have some con
6dence in him that William Jen-
uings Bryan was paid to make
speeches i'm Kentucky, to be taken
down by statement from Nation
al Committeeman Urey Woodson,
saving in substance, Wilson's
charge is false.
Wilson has been making other
charges which have proven false.
He talked about graft in Il general
way but failed to be specific, thus
falling the charge breaks Of its
own weight. The temperance
question is Just the same way with
him. A saloonist may be an alb
,tuiner of strong drink. How do

FOR THE ASKING.

Mr. Henry Lees, of Plymouth
Penn, was in the city last week
and called attention of some of our
business men to the fact that the
Mt. Sterling Water, Light q Ice
plant had power sufficient to mo-
torize an electric railway, that
they were anxious to employ all
their power, and that in any effort
made by our people to construct
road they would do their part in
making a subscription for the en-
terprise. Our people realize the
necessity of having other roads
and they may also realize that if
we get them we must 90 down i'm
our pockets and put up. The
question is how much it would pay
and our ability to contribute. The
Business Mems Club might turn
the young men on this enterprise
to obtain the needed road.
