The vote of the legislature, which
has just adjourned, shows what the
temperance forces of the State can
do by united effort inside of the re-
spcctivc parties. The liquor forces
in the full flush aud prestige of IA
great victory fought every temper
ance measure as bitterly and brut.
ally as they fought statewide pro-
hibition. They constantly paraded
their great victory In order to in
timidate and overcome members
They wished it distinctly understood
what money could do and that they
had plenty left. If they could not
buy him they now had the power to
crush and ruin any man who stood
IN their way. They rcsorted to ev-
cry means, fair and foul. They
flooded the legislature with litera-
tur" pufporting to come from the
patriotic, dlsinterested Defense
Committee" now outside the gates
OF their saved city and bent not
on defense but on conquest. They
begged, battered. overawed or made
drunk, as occasion required or per-
mitted. Little fellows trembled like
quaking asps. Some hid out when
the engagement was on. Outside of
the judiciary, the example of most
OF those In authority was on the
side of the liruor forces and their
lawless henchmen. High state Off
cials openly proclaimed themselves
wet" and passed under the power
of the brewer as meekly rs the
trained OK places his neck under the
yoke.
And yet the County Unit Bill
passed the Legislature by safe ma
jority. This, too, In spite of all the
parliamentary tactics and delays
the talented advocates of rum could
invent, and all the impassioned ora
tory and invective to which they
could resort.
1t Is now demonstrated beyond
peradventure that the temperance
forces In 1912 can elect legislators
who will pass liquor laws demanded
by justice and humanity. Whatever
else is done a stirring campaign
should be inaugurated at once to
this end. The very best and ablest
men in the state should consent to
run as patriotic duty which they
owe to their country and their fire.
side. The lovers of thier homes and
their civilization ought to begin at
once in every county to pick their
man. Make the fight in the pri-
mary. This Is the place to be effec-
tive. Compel candidates to come
right out and say openly where they
stand and what they will do. Do
not take the old hackneyed excuse
of the dodger, whatever the people
decide that / will be for" A candi-
date for office ought to have the
courage of his convictions. A luke
warm evasive fellow may be Dragged
on as "a man of fine Character
etc, but we have noticed that the
lawless gang invariably owns him

The story OF the big Calvert for

are to receive many thousands from
a big piece Of land In Baltimore.
II has developed that Fulton coun-
" has several heirs TO the estate and
they are getting plans on foot to
prove their interest in IT, They are:
lsreal CLARK. Mrs. NJ H. Rose, Mrs
y. u. Henry. OF near Hickman. Mrs
Sam Chandler. OF Tennessee. and the
three children of Obid Clark.
There is no doubt that 5000 acres
OF land in Baltimore are well worth
$4,000 900. aud IL would be pleas
ant thing for the Kentuckians who
are being told they are Calvert heirs
TO share IL.
The Kentuckians might as well
forget IT," however, because hun
