The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1911-09-27

The Republicans OF Drecheh-
ridge county met in mass conven-
ton at Hardinsburg Monday to
nominate a candidate for Repre-
sentative. There were one hum
dred and sixty-one live Republl-
cans present.
The convention was orderly and
tremendously conducted. The
noisy boys were there but were
not allowed speak their mind. They
did speak it tho in a soft way, not
loud enough to be. heard. They
seemed hacked, under cover as
it we're, they felt it down in their
hearts, but like noble fellows they
kept it to themselves. They were
absolutely hacked for the first
time in many years of Republican
conventions in Breckenridge
county How nice for brethren
to dwell in peace and harmony.
Chairman Haswell called the
convention to order. He asked
secretary Allen r. Kincheloe to
read the call after which Mr.. Has
well made a few remarks about
their candidate for Governor as
surfing his fellow Republicans that
Judge O'Rear was sure to be the
next Governor. He called him a
"four square man" and that you
Knew where he stood on all ques-
J tions. He pied for harmony and
peace and a square deal.
Garner Chairman
Editor Brock put in nomination
III. A. Oelze for permanent chair
man, and Jesse Eskridge, with his
:. coat off and his fists flying in the
air. nominated Pal Garner. A
rising vote was taken which re-
<sulted in cleo ton of Mr.. Garner,
who received 81 votes and Mr..
Oelze AZ. g. G. Brock was the
unanimous choice for secretary.
Mr.. OeIze moved that the nOmin-
ating speeches be limited to three
minutes.
Wanted to Know Their Stand
Mr.. Eskridge wanted to know
how the candidates stood on the
county unit. This was sort of a
bumbshell dropped into the quiet
waters but 1t failed to explode. 1t
brot the candidates to time, how
ever, Judge ALL being the first to
come into the lime light. He said
he was member of the Republic
an State Convention and he stood
square on that platform. Mr..
Cannon said every man and woman
in his neighborhood knew where
he stood and had always stood.
His life he said was on open book
on the temperance question.
rlOorman Called In
Mr.. Norman was not present
in the convention and Mr.. David
Phelps suggested that the secre-
tary read his announcement as
published in the papers. Chair
man Garner said this was no good
he wanted to hear from gentle
oman's own lips how he stood. Mr..
Norman was brought into the
convention and said he was for
the county unit first, last and all
! the time. None of these state
ments we're satisfactory to Mr..
Haswell. He had been a member
of the House and knew how easy

it is to whip around the bush. He
wanted to clinch them, bind them
and tie them so if they didn't vote
right when in the legislature, the
people would know the reason
why. He offered the following
misrepresentation which was
adopted: 4
Resolved, that, we the Repub-
lican county convention assembled
do hereby re-affirm the Republic
an State platform as adopted at
Louisville, and especially, that
portion thereof declaratory of the
party's position on the question of
county unit. We pledge our NOM
inee for representative to vote in
the legislature for the county unit
bill on every question, order, re-
solution, or vote, and in its every
phase on every occasion.
Nominations then followed.
BIanford Brings Tears
The Hon. Chas. Blunford put
in nomination Judge VIM. Ali.
Mr.. Blanford made a gallant and
plaintiff appeal for his old conrad
in arms. He said just fifty years
ago he went out with this loyal
old soldier to save his country, and
just AZ years ago they fought side
by side in great battle that saved
this country from It's enemies.
His speech brought tears to ths
eyes of many old soldiers present.
Mr.. Blanford was in one of his
best moods; he had nothing harsh
to say about the Democrats.
Billy Cane nominated F. L. Can
non, of McDaniels; his nomination
was seconded by Henninger, who
paid a glowing tribute to his worth
as man, and as a lifelong Rep
lublican.
Speech for Moorman
II. A. Oelze nominated G.. w.
Moorman. He said be had known
Mr.. Norman intimately for the
past twelve years and for all that
time he knew he had been a loyal
Republican. He said his candid.
ate was all right on the County
Unit and could be depended upon
to stand for that measure.
Roscoe Lasley seconded the
nomination of G. w. Norman,
Jesse Eskridge the nomination of
Judge ALL.
Chairman Garner reminded the
convention that the most serious
and complicated part of this con-
vention was now at hand. He
wanted a square deal. Nothing
else goes in the convention said he
with rap of his gavel.
Tellers were then named to
county the vote-Thos. III. Bates,
Hardy Ball, Sam Henninger, It'd
Mccoy, Jesse Eskridge and Daily
Beard.
The chairman said: You who
favor +. l.. Cannon as the nomi-
nee of this convention stand up.
With another swish of his gavel
2s stood up. Then he called on
those favoring Norman to stand.
81 stood for Norman.
The climax of the proceedings
was the vote for Ali, when 81
loyal soldiers and postmasters
stood for ALL.
The chairman was not satisfied
with the first count by the tell
ers. He called on them to stand
up again. They stood with the
same result.
ALL receiving majority of the
whole vote cast was declared the
nominee. The convention then
adjourned.

GIRLS FEET SERVES ALL
PURPOSES OF HANDS

Atlanta, Georgia.-Darwin'S theory
that our prehistoric ancestors were
practically four-handed, since they
hands, is partially confirmed in the
case of Miss Kitty Smith, a haywood
woman, who, although she lost both
arms at an early age, is an accom-
plished artist, seamstress and musi-
clan. Her feet serve all the purposes
of hands so well that she can take a
watch apart with them.
Miss Smith, who is the financial
secretary for the haywood Home for
Crippled and Dependent Children, 519
North Fifth avenue, haywood, loss
both arms in fire when she was 10
years old. She was SO severely burn
ed that it was thought she could not
live. After she had recovered, how
ever. a chance heard remark that the
foot is merely a rudimentary hand
and could be trained until it perform
ed all the functions of the hand i'm
pressed her so deeply that she at
once began to use her feet to pick
up small articles. Within a year she
could write falr hand-or foot-and
could do rough sewing.
Encouraged with her success in
this experiment, Miss Smith next be-
gan drawing. For long time she
supported herself by the sale of pen
and ink sketches which she drew
holding the pen between her toes.
Typewriting next attracted her at
tention. 1t was months before she
was able to use the typewriter with
any degree of speed and accuracy
but she is now able to write in a
manner that would excite the envy OF
many person who has the use OF
both hands.
"Typewriting was very hard al
first" said Miss Smith. you see
with all the training in the world one
cannot spread ones toes as wide apart
as ones fingers. The trouble at first
was that l would strike two keys a
once, but l finally managed to over.

Her method of using a typewriter
is very peculiar. She sets it on the

little above the ordinary height. sC

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR LADIES
WHO WILL GIVE RECITAL

a recital will be given at the stu
dio of Miss Harriet Young in the As
sociation building, Tuesday evening,
May 8, by Mrs. Charlotte Baumels-
ter-ThompsOn, soprano, and Miss
Malen Burnett, concert pianist, of
Fischer's school of music both of
Walla Walla.
Mrs. Thompson is a pupil of Mrs.
Wadsworth-Vivian of New York and
held a choir position in one of the
wealthiest churches IN that city.
Since her return to Walla Walla she
has been on Of their popular soloists.
The Walla Walla Union says:
THE second concert of the Walla
Walla symphony Orchestra's third
season was given at Keylor Grand
opera house to one of the best and
most appreciative audiences the or
ganization has ever had. Charlotte
Baumeister- Thompson was the soloist
and sang with Nerdure Clad" from
Hayden's Creation" and a group OF
American songs. Mrs. Thomz on ;
singing is always a source Of pleas
ure to her audiences and she quite
filled all expectations. Her voice was
especially clear and bright and her
sustained singing was particularly
good"
Miss Burnett has studied in Ber-
lin under oscar Raif up to his death,
then continued the work under Frau
Alexandra Raif. Later she went to
Paris where she studied with Moaz-
kowski. She also studied for a sea-
son with Barth of Berlin. Miss Ber-
nett's four years of European resi-
dence afforded her the best opportu-
mites in the world for the develop
ment of her musical taste and ability.
She has had extensive experience in
concert and recital work and has the
distinction of being chosen to give a
program before the Missouri State
Music Teachers association, her work
proving SO satisfactory that she has
been urged to accept a return en-
gagement. The sunday Union States
man of Walla Walla says of her re-
cital there this year:
The recital given at Eilers Music
House by Malen Burnett of the Fisch-
er's school of music faculty, might
almost be said to be of more musical
value than any that has ever been
heard in this city. Briefly Miss Bur-
nett's recital was a musical and ar
tistic triumph"

SHUTOUT
BY MOUNTA|NEERS
WESTON DEFEATS LOCALS
Wheeler, the Weston Twirler, Is In
vincible-Hollis Was Not in Form
and Allows Opponents Fourteen
Hits.

Bitterest of all the many defeats
which Pendleton has suffered this
year was the one yesterday when she
drew a blank in Weston, while the
home team sent ten runs over the
plate. The defeat and victory were
equally earned, the defeat by a car
nival of errors literally sprlnkled with
boneheaded plays and the victory by
almost perfect fielding and heavy
batting.
Wheeler, the Weston twirler, was
in fine form and had the locals on
his hip throughout the nine innings,
never allowing two of the five hits
in the same inning. Hollis, on the
other hand, was not the invincible
man he was in the Echo game. Four
teen hits were garnered off his de-
livery by the slugglng Mountaineers,
but in justice to him 1t must be ad-
mitted that four of the hits were so
scored because of the improper field
ing of his teammates and the great
little HEAVIER was plainly disguested
with the support given him.
Credit for the miserable showing
can be equally divided for there was
not one man but contributed his
part They were no better with the
bat. But seven men got on bases
and not one of these advanced far
ther than sencond. In the seventh it
looked as If there might be a score
blown in when Hollis hit safely and
Ward passed to first, but the next
three men took their three swings and
retired to the bench.

WOMEN TOO BUSY TO
RAISE BIG FAMILIES

New York.-Rev. Wray, of Null
berry street church, in a sermon to-
day, declared that the women of the
present day so far as his observations
extends, are too busy playing bridge
and going in society, and the men too
deeply in terested in making money,
for them to raise families of credit
able size.
He deplored the fact that three or
four children are now considered a
large family, and contrasted this era
with the time when ten and twelve
children in a family were common.
He said that this indicated a re-
gretable decline in the standards and
morals of civilization.
