and everyone of them expressed entire
satisfaction over tie fairness, open,
and above-board manner in which it
was conducted. We print the form
Of the ballot in this issue to show
our readers the position which the va
rious candidates have drawn. OF course
the candidates for Magistrate will be
changed in each Magisterial district.
There was only one candidate for
Circuit Court Clerk, Surveyor and
Coroner, and only one candidate for
Constable in the county, and that in
the Cromwell Magisterial district. The
committee also appointed a list of
election officers which is composed
of the very best men in the county,
from a list of names suggested by the
candidates. Thus the preliminary wor
for the primary mas been perfected,
seemingly with entire satisfaction to
all parties concerned and there is no
reason why the primary Itself should
not be conducted in the same satisfac-
tory manner, so that in the end,
while there will necessarily be
disappointment and defeat for
many of the candidates, no
excuse should be given any
one TO feel that he had been defeated
in an unfair or corrupt manner. 1t is
now with the voters in each precinct
to see to it that corrupt practices are
not allowed; that the man
who attempts TO purchase or
bride voters, snail meet with
swift and vigorous prosecution
and that every candidate receive and
have counted for him every vote IN
every precinct to which he is entitled.
Nothing short of this lie will satisfy
the people and a ticket nominated by
any other method will have difficulty
in the final election, Notwithstanding
the seeming secure majority which we
have in the county.

JUDGE CHARLES BOOZE
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE
Last Democrat In Auditors Office
Charged With Padding
Claims.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. PA war
rant for the arrest of Judge Charles
E. B. Booze, claim clerk in the Depart
ment of Public Accounts, was issued
today upon the charge of misappro-
priation of funds belonging to the
State. The warrant was issued follow
ing. II is claimed, disclosure on evil
dence that Booze has obtained thou
sands of dollars of the States money
by. padding of witness claims idiot
claims and other warrants OF like
o. character, which passed through his
hands,
The short investigation made by
State Inspector and Examiner M. ii.
Thatcher shows that speculations
. have been going on for number OF
years, but 1t is impossible yet to tell
what the total amount will be.
Booze is one of the best known Demo
c~ats in the State adeacon in the
Christian church and Exalted Ruler of
the Frankfort Lodge of Elks. He was
assistant audior under the last Demo-
cratic administration and was consid-
cred so capable and reliable that when
the Republicans took charge of the
State government they retained him in
his position to instruct the clerks In
details in the Auditors department.
A sensation was revealed when suit
was filed by Auditor James in the
Franklin Circuit Court this afternoon
seeking to secure $3.50 which had
been discovered that Booze had obtain
ed by padding warrants, vouchers.
etc., since the first of January, when
James took charge of the department
Meanwhile State Examiner Thatch-
er had been busy and had found evil
dence of collections during the pre-
ceding administrations and until each
account has been examined separate
ly it will be impossible to tell how
far back his populations extend.
When confronted with checks made
out to fictitious parties, endorsed by
fictitious names and with second en-
dorsements and his own, he said II
must be an error, but as the evidence
piled up he admitted that 1t looked
like he got the money but he said he
would pay 1t back to the satisfaction
of the officials. A conference Of his
friends was held with Auditor James
and assurance was gaven that what
ever Is due will be made good.
A large number of his friends have
called to see him at his home tonight
and he seems more cheerful but he is
plainly under a heavy nervous
strain and his friends will try not to
give him any further chance to take
his life.
State officials, when asked this aft
ernoon what first led them to suspic-
ion that Judge Booze had been guilty
of alleged irregularities, replied that
the number OF vouchers for amounts
against the State which he had cashed
had given rise to rumors. These
vouchers were made out In the names
of men other than Judge Boone, yet
his Endorsement was on the backs OF
most of them.
MANY of these checks were cashed
In groceries In Frankfort" and a
State official and Others had been
ceshed by Judge Booze In banks.
Sometimes. in attempting 10 cash
these vouchers, he would object to
indorsing thine himself on the ground
that they were as good as checks
and that the Endorsement of the man
In whose name they were made out
was sufficient

Sherman on "Uncle Joe. y

James S. Sherman, the republican
candidate for vice president, in an in
terview in Chicago as published in the
Tribune Monday came gallantly to the
defense of Joe Cannon. MIR. Sherman
said:
Il was not aware that Uncle Joe
was an issue. l am not aware that
there is any opposition to Uncle Joe
either in his own district or elsewhere.
l cannot conceive of any constituency
so blind, ignorant or dense as not to
appreciate the services of that great
statesman. He is the most useful
member Of the legislative branch of
the government.
Mr.. Taft's running mate brands as
"blind, ignorant or dense" all those
who do not appreciate the services of
that great statesman" and vouches
for him as ''the most useful member
congress.
''Most useful to whom, to what?
Will James B. Sherman, if he should
be elected, he 'smost useful to the
same persons and interests?
If, through cruel fortune, he should
step into the shoes of the president of
the United States, will he still con-
tinue his career of usefulness" along
the lines Cannon has marked out for
him?
If. Mr.. Sherman would come out to
Nebraska and hold joint debate with
Congressman Hinshaw, Congressman
Boyd and Congressman Norris, and
either convert them or let them con-
vert him. 1t is distressing to see a
once great party at war with itself,

AS to Subsequent Prosperity,

In his reply to Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Taft
referred to Republican success in No
vember and subsequent prosperity. 1t
is one of the jovialities of the situation
that the Republicans habitually refer
to continuance of the causes of dull
times ana business depression as the
remedy for them.
In complete control of every branch
and department of government, the
Republicans produced panic. Indif-
ference. Encouragement, extrava-
gance. lack of foresight, failure to
adopt and apply corrective legislation,
blind adherence to an obselet tariff and
unwillingness to reform an antiquated
currency were the contributing causes
to the panic, and the Republicans were
the sole contributors the only possible
contributors. SIS
It was first-class panic, too-not an
underdone, half-hearted affair, but q
lusty, wool-dyed. bottle-blown article,
which the mighty prosperity of the
most prosperous country in the most
prosperous times in the history of the
world could not stem or check. 1t was
a prosperity which came and stayed
not because of the Republicans and
their mismanagement, but dispite theis
Encouragement. But it succumbed in
the end.
Now they come forward with prom
ises to do everything just as they have
been doing it and ask nation of in
telligent people to believe that the per-
petuation of the causes of business dis
aster will be a sure cure. Is it not
effrontery?- st. Louis Republic.
