From John N. Waugh.

To the Democrats and people Of
the 32nd Judicial District: 49,.
Five years ago the people of this
Judicial District, which then con-
tanned Boyd County with 600 or 800
Republican majority, making the dis
trict normally Republican, after a
hard fight against the strongest and
most available candidate the Re-
pUblicans had in the district, elect

the present term.

Home Minister RepudiateS Taft

New York, Oct. ia Cincinnati
dispatch to the Evening Post is as
follows:
The religious issue of this cam
paign is no mirage to be seen only
from the next countybut It may be
more than offset by other forces
which it sets into motion. That Mr.
Taft will lose a great many vo,es OF
lifelong Republicans because of his
religious status is indisputable. The
minister of the Presbyterian Church
of which Charles P. Taft is a trustee
and Mrs. Charles p Taft is member
ard TO which she pays a six hundred
dollar pew tax, has publicly announc-
ed that he will vote for Bryan, al
though he never before has supported
a Democrat. Before the nominations
were made, when it seemed newt
able that Taft and Bryan were 10
lie the candidates, this minister, DR..
Robert Watson, declared from his
pulpit on Sunday morning that he
did not see how Christian people
could do otherwise than votefor Bryan
in preference to a man who rejected
the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and whose public life was not, ac-
CCrding to DR.. Watson, in harmony
with Christian principles. This was
striking very close at home. Every
body knows that Charles P. Taft, a
half brother of the candidate, has
been an exceedingly important fac
tor in recent political events. His
resources, which are ample, went far
to finance the Taft campaign for
the nomination. His position as pro
prietor of leading Republican news
paper had much to do with the polit.
icai preferment which began to
come to his brother as soon as he
left the law school. ...a.---- . .....
Although Charles P. Taft does
not often attend its services, to
have the minister of this church
who is also an instructor in the Lane
Theological Seminary, come out FOL
Bryan, was naturally a disappoint-
ment.

this present term of office and do

In my five years service I have
not missed day at the criminal
court OF this district, and on ac-
count OF the change made by the
Legislature In 1906 have been COM

Mrs. VIM Damron, living in Louisa,
KY, says: Il take the greatest pleas

The American Tobacco Company
las decreed that James n. Kehoe
shall not be elected to Congress be-
cause of the prominent part he mas
taken in the interest Of the tobac-
co farmers. There is only one way
in which the soulless corporation
can be prevented from carrying out
its threat, and that Is for the FAR
mers to vote for the man who has
fought so successfully for them Mr..
Kehoe has been and is the chief fin
auCial agent of the Society Of Equi-
". which has made it possible for
the farmers TO get from two to three
times rs much for thsir tobacco as
they did while the American T1bac-
&C Company had them by The throats.
The professional slanderers who
are taking part in this campaign are
referring to Mr.. Kehoe rs the Might
rider candidate." 1t is hardly nee
essary to tell any intelligent man
10 this district that Mr.. Kehoe is
as much opposed to night riding
and all forms of lawlessness as any
man on earth. The night-rider out
RACES are deplorad and denounced by
the Society of Equity, 1t is grossly
unjust to charge these crimes to the
Society; as much as TO charge all
Big Sandians with being feudists, out
laws and moonshiners, because these
forms of outlawry have been iudulg-
ed in by small proportion of our
population. No higher type Of true
manhood exists in any State than
is exemplified in he person Of James
y. Kehoe. And, We shall add, no
ADLER and more courageous fight
err for the rights OF the great com
mon people than he. ....
The story Of the oppression OF
Kentucky Farmers by the American
Tobacco Company is a long and
horrible one. The farmers were driv.
en- to organization. They will win
II their brethren, the tillers Of the
soil, will stand by them. Are you
for the American Tobacco Company
or the Kentucky farmers? Your
vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, will answe
this question.

CARRIE NATION CALLS
ON CANDIDATE TAFT
Latter Declines to Discuss the
Liquor Question.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, without her hatchet, dropped
in to town and went direct to the Pike
street address of Judge Taft. The
judge himself admitted Mrs. Nation
into the spacious hall
you know me?" she demanded
without prelimiDaries.
The candidate admitted that from
the public prints he knew who Mrs
Nation was.
We'll, have come here to have a
discussion with you on the liquor
question" was her next remark.
"You will have to excuse me from
entering upon any discussion with
you" was Mr.. Tafts half smiling re
ply.
Whereupon Mrs. Nation began one
of her characteristic speeches against
the drink evil, not overlooking con
demnation of all those who did not &C
valiantly to the work of reform as she
believed it should be carried on.
Judge Taft was modestly backing
away and Mrs. Nation, seemingly
somewhat awed by what she was do
ing, also backed her way out of the
door and the interview was ended.

ed was expedited in order that il
might be gotten out before the in

Mr.. Gompers said that he personally

to develop particular details abea
that proceeding Mr.. Genpers replied

American ambassador, and Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
university, we're among the distin-
guished strangers.
Prince Won Buelow made the well
coming speech In behalf of the gov
ernment. He spoke in French and said
that the delegates would find sympa-
thetic appreciation of their aims and
achievements in Germany and that the
government was with them in the end
for which they were striving. The
only differences of opinion were with
regard to which road should be fol-
lowed SO as to attain the desired aims
In the best and surest way.
Believes in Arbitration.
1--WE In Germany are taking a vital
part in the consideration of the ques-
tion with which you are occupied"
said the imperial chancellor. ALLOW
me to call to your attention that we
proposed at the second Hague peace
conference the prize court agreement
and that we supported the plan for a
permanent court of arbitration and
signed the protocol recommending
this. We have in various treaties
made use of the arbitration principle
and we have embodied this principle
in the clauses of our trade treaties.
Our cooperation is won in advance for
all measures which, by unalterable
laws, makes secure the rights of hu-
manity."
A love of peace, Prince Won Buelow
said, did not signify lack of love for
the Fatherland. True patriotism was
the avoidance of conflict by resisting
damaging, INSCRIPTIONS and unhealthy
blind hatred and deceptive ambition.
Germany had been taught in the
school of hard experience for three
centuries and she was and must be
strong enough to defend her territory,
her dignity and her independence. She
had not misused her strength and
would not do SO. The German people
lcnged for peace founded on right and
justice and, having kept that peace for
many years, they had proved the sim
cerity of that desire.
Prince Won Buelows speech was
warmly cheered and its tone had a
favorable effect on the bourse as an
indication that the international polit-
ical situation was tranquil. The men,
bers of the union sent telegram to
Emperor William In which they said:
"The 500 members of the Interpar-
liamentary union permit themselves to
offer to the emperor their respectful
homage and at the same time to thank
your majesty for the energetic words
uttered recently in favor Of the main
tenance In the future of the peace OF
the world"

Congressman Laning Cries When Ac.
quilted by Jury.

Fremont, O., Sept. 1S.-The jury in
the Laning case returned a verdict of
not guilty after considering the case
less than an hour. Following the re-
turn of the verdict there were con-
gratulations on all sides between at
torneys, jurors, judge, the defendant
and others interested. Congressman
Laning cried like a child when he
heard the jurys verdict and was com
PEELED to leave the courtroom until he
recovered his composure. Later he
returned and thankes the twelve
Jurors one by one. Congressman
Laning will issue a statement within
few days and will at once enter into
his campaign for reelection as con-
gressman of the Fourteenth district.

his various financial matters were ne
gotiated, and president of the Laning
