POLL LISTS FOR WARDS
 HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

D. W. Crosland, who was appointed by the City Executive Committee of the Democratic Party to prepare lists of qualified voters of the wards of Montgomery. announced yesterday that the work had been completed.
 The committee decided that it was expedient for 1t to have the lists made. In the laws which govern the primary to be held March 23, there is, no pro- visiC,l for a registration of voters, as there had been in municipal primaries previously held. The necessity of au- thoritative directories of the duty quail filed was recognized and the present plan was deemed the most feasible that could ba devised.
 Three. lists of voters in each ward are to be furnished to the election ofii- cers of the ward

tend school from lack of clothing and
from want of school books. 1t was
about this time that the American So
ciety of Equity furnished to the to-
bacco growers the pooling" plan,
briefly the idea was to meet zone pur-
chaser" with zone seller" 1t was first
attempted in the Green River and in
the Stemming districts, where 1t prov
ed so successful that the hurley district
soon saw its beneficial results and
also adopted it. In the dark tobacco
section since this fight was Inaugural
ted by the farmers they have seen the
price of their tobacco go from three
to ten and twelve dollars per hun
dred.
Every means has been resorted to by
the trust to break down the organiza-
ton. They have paid for column
after column of misrepresentation in
some of our leading daily papers
They have sought the individual
farmer and offered him enormous prices
for his tobacco, in order to divide and
thus break up the pooling" plan
Some ill-advised growers who do not
belong to the American Society of Eq-
uity, but who have adopted the pool
ling" plan, incensed no doubt by these
efforts of the trusts representatives to
thwart them in their effort to OBJ
tain just remuneration for their labor
have resorted to deeds of violence in
some instances which have not been
countenanced by the great body of in
telligent law-abiding tobacco growers
These outbreaks of lawlessness which
have been committed by persons who
have become known as might riders
have been exaggerated by the trust pa.
pers to fearful degree and have to
some extent injured or delayed the
growers in their organization. No one
has ever been able to discover who the
perpetrators of these deeds arebut
make this statement which maybe start
ling to some, the American Tobacco Co
in all this reported burning of tobac-
co and barns has never lost dollars
worth of property. In view of the
fact that these disturbances could only
injure this society and that members
of the order have been demanding rigid
investigation, and have even Offered
rewards for any member of the society
who may be convicted of any lawless-
ness in connection with this fight,may
we not suggest with propriety that all
of this outbreak could have been star
ted by enemies of the society for the
sole purpose of destroying its influ-
ence?
The sympathy of ninety per cent Of
the people of Kentucky is with the
growers in their efforts to obtain jus
tice and fair remuneration for their
honest toll, and no power on earth
can prevent final victory in contest
which is almost won, if the growers
will stand together and maintain their
organization.

In another column will be found an
article written by Post Master J. II
Thomas, of Narrows, in the interests
of Taft for the Presidency, which We
are glad to publish. as it is not our de
sire to close our columns 10 any Re-
publicans. We are still further glat
to publish this letter because it gives
us an opportunity to make some refer
ences to the thoughts present
ed. il will be noted that the sole
claim made for Mr.. Taft is the fact
that he will carry out Roosevelt pol
icies-not Republican policies, mint
you. Has it come to this in our coun-
try? How many degrees are. we re-
moved from a Monarchy, or at least
some of us? We always thought the
people. through their delegates out
lined the party policies. Has any Pres
ident the Republicans ever nominal
ed failed to carry on; party policies?
Does any one doubt that Cannon, Knox
Hughes or Fairbanks would carry on,
the platform pledges. Is there only
one man in all the party, we can
trust?~ If so, we had better disband
and turn the whole matter, postoffices
and all, over to the Democrats. Our
correspondent intimates that Fair
banks would have made a good Pres
ident some years ago, but not now.
Why? Would not Mckinley. Garfield
or Lincoln carry out Republican pol
icies, if in the Presidential chair now
We understand that Mr.. Roosevelt has
claimed to pattern after Lincoln, es-
pecially. However, we doubt If Lin
coin would ever have attempted to die
tate to his party his successor, or
even have intimated what it should do
as to a nomination. much less used
the great machinery of the Govern
ment to bring about his desires in
that particular. We feel sure that Nc
Kinley would never have endangered
the success of his party by an open
attempt to run rough shod over those
who had helped to elect him and pass
laws which he had urged, in an at
tempt to dictate his successor. Dem
ocrats are claiming that the Roosevelt
policies are taken from them and
Mr.. Bryan, and here comes Mr.. Thorn
as with the plea that a legatee of Mir.
Roosevelt is the only one who can
be successfully pitted against him. Is
it to be a case of out "Heroding Her.

The Hartford Herald continues its
bemoaning wall about the State militia
and the Might Riders" 1t has be-
come so exercised, and its mental Wis
ion thereby SO badly dwarfed that 1t
is led to say we don't know enough
to quit endorsing Gus Wilson and Cat
ling guns. Just what this means we
are unable to say. But suffice 1t to
say that we have never endorsed Cat
ling guns or the use of them by any
Governor. We have stated in re-
spouse to the Herald's palaver about
Gov. Wilson calling, into active SER
vice the state troops, that Gov. Beck
ham likewise called them out, and
that too to protect the citizens from
might riders" We do not believe ii
was necessary for the protection OF
the citizens for either Governor TO
send soldiers to Hopkinsville and If II
was useless for Gov. Wilson to send
them, we desire to pause long
enough to ask if it was not likewise
unless for Gov. Beckham to send them
This is the question MIR. Herald edi-
tors we demand that you answer. We
have never endorsed any Governor for
trotting troops here and yonder over
the State even though citizens where
they have been sent have invariably
demanded them.

The Democrats Did II.

An analysis of the vote on chang
ing the Senate rules so as to make
two-thirds vote necessary to call
bill out of committee a requir&-
ment that will have the probable
effect of strangling the county unit
bill shows that eighteen Democrats
supported the amendment, and eleven
Republicans opposed it. Only two
Democrats voted with the Republic
cans to prevent the change in the
rules.
The killing of the county unit bill,
therefore, lies at the door of eighteen
Democratic Senators. OF these eighteen
all but two were stanch supporters
of Beckham during the Senatorial
race. What becomes of the boosted
friendliness of this man and his par
ty for the temperance movement in
view of these facts?
Throughout the session the Repub-
licans have done all in their power to
fulfill their pledges made in the last
election and embodied in their plat
form. Time and again they have been
baked in their efforts by Democrats,
either by Democratic control of COM
mittees appointed by a Democratic
Speaker or by Democratic majority,
as in the present instance.
How many more evidences of Demo-
cratic insincerity will be necessary to
convince the State that the true friend
of temperance and reform are not to
be found in the ranks of those who
followed 'Beckham and Hager? This
latest demonstration of a desire to
avoid facing the issue, which the peo-
pie have sought to force upon the
Legislature by the pressure of pub
lie sentiment, should show to even the
most prejudiced where the antagon-
ism to the popular will really lies.
There is practically no hope for the
county unit bill now unless the con-
stituents of these men, who voted
to stifle 1t can make them
change their minds and secure enough
~ them to call the. bill out on two
Thirds vote. They had better be direct
ing their efforts to this end than hang
ing man in effigy who never pretend
ed to be a temperance man and did
not hold himself bound by Mr.. Beck

The TOBACCO SITUATION IN
KENTUCKY.

After three years OF continuous
work, ana close organization, the to-
bacco growers of entuclIy have prac-
tically won cir fight against the great
tobacco rust. This fight began about
five years ago when the trust first made
itself ielt il the elimination of all
competition in the market for all grades
of Kentucky grown tobacco. One pur-
chaser could only mean one OF two
things. First, that there was TO be
starvation prices for a product which,
while il had a worldwide market, was
limited in production to comparatively
a small area Second, the turning of the
great tobacco fields to some other
product. The first became a reality
in the years of 1903 and 1904 when to-
bacco went down to the lowest price
II had ever commanded, notwithstand-
ing the country was enjoying the most
prosperous times in its history and the
further fact that there was no over
production. Men who had their all
invested in tobacco lands, barns and
teams Tor the raising of tobacco saw
their property depreciate in value thou
sands OF dollars without any seeming
good cause. The tenant was in even
worse condition because he had no re-
sources from which to draw, except
the immediate tobacco crop. His chill
dren were deprived of the necessi-
ties of life and from an education be-
cause they were often unable to at

In an interview given to the Ow-

shire admits that he Democrats put
the county unit bill to sleep in the

that it had to be done in order to
keep the Republicans from passing the
redistricting bills. Well those prohibi-

explanation are not prohibitionist ito
