haven't been heard from sihoe Inv
election.
At last account Judge O'Rear had
not handed down his latest decision
on Republicanism VS.. Democracy IN
Kentucky.
II would have been just the same
with Cox or Franks-or maybe
worse-and the latter should con-
eratulate each other for failing to
get into the Republican boat.
The Democrats will certainly
have much to be thankful for at the
coming Thanksgiving. Among 9TH
or things. that the Republican party
has such poor political prophets.
The Louisville Post took about
two columns TO explain the cause q
the recent Republican defeat. ut
can be easily explained in four
words -" too many Democratic
votes"
Put Ohio county down 500 Tor

O'Rears majority, 173. Didn't
seem to hold 'em after they got 'em.
Seems like just as soon as the
public gets through with settling one
vexatious matter, another comes up.

ARGUS" of the Louisville Herald
sure had his figures and estimates
Knocked to smithereens by the
result of the election. George is
clever fellow in more ways than
one. but like the rest OF us, his cal
culations sometimes fall afoul of the
mark.
The handsome vote given Mr.. NJ.
T. Westerfeld in Ohio county is
record of which any man should
feel proud. He not only led his
party's ticket, but in doing this, ev-
identity got the votes Of a number
of men who are afiliated with other
political parties.
Il has been decided to perpetuate
the McCreary Club here at Hartford
for the good 1t has done and the
good It may do in the future. II
certainly accomplished grand
work in the recent campaign and
added much to the sum OF victory
won by the Democrats in the State.
If we remember rightly, Editor
Sam Roberts said in his paper, the
Lexington Leader Republican,
that the election of Bradley to the
L. S. Senate, in the way in which it
was done, would never be worth to
the Republican party what it cost.
The recent election proved that Mr..
Roberts was right.
One of the most significant FEAT
ures of the recent election was the
unprecedented gains made by the
Socialists. In nine cities Of the
country they elected 2 mayor and
New Mexico gave the Socialists a
heavy vote. The gains scored by
the Socialists make them a strong
factor to be reckoned with in the
politics of to-day.
The Green River Republican, pub

The Democrats OF Ohio coun-

ton day. They came out and voted
almost to man, and 1t was by this
process that the big Republican
majority OF former years was so
largely cut down. They deserve all
credit for their loyalty and the Won
