The surprising thing was that.
although the senator's audience con-
strned his remarks as an attack upon

Secretary Norton said the president
had withhold federal patronage from
certain senator's and congressman, but
would discontinue that practice, was
brought into the limelight. on pre-
vious occasions insurgent senator's
threatened to read this letter. but until
tonight M public reference had been
made to 1t.
Mr.. Bourne opened his speech by n
discussion of the Oregon law He said
when this law Is enacted by all the
states II will destroy the power Of the

A Commemorate Work.

Under the auspices of the Kentucky
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, the first instruc-
ton car left Louisville Monday NOR
ming to begin the battle for the ex-
termination of the White Plague in
Kentucky. The car was fitted up with
charts, drowning and different devices
for the introduction of pure air into
the home and for the various means of
combating the dread dlseare. The car
is leased for one year by the L & N to
the society and will be transported free
by the various roads over which it
travels. The tour is to be an extern
sive one and is calculated to do much
good. The ultimate aim of the Society
is to secure legislation favorable tc

Lights Next Week.

The machinery for the light plant
has arrived and is being installed, and
Mr.. Walker tells us that he hopes to
be able to turn on the lights next week.
A new power house has been built, the
boiler room of brick and the dynamo
room of galvanized iron and concrete,
and the entire plant is now fire proof.
The entire line has been gone over and
remodeled and when completed we will
have one of the best light plants in the
state. Why not take steps to secure
an all night service? The past few
weeks of complete darkness has DEM
onstrated the fact that the old l a. m.
service is far superior to none at all.
but Lancaster is striving to keep
abreast of the times in other things.
why not in this. An all night light
service would cost but little more than
the service for which we now contract,
and it surely seems that some steps
should be taken to amend the present
contract or get new one that will
give us lights all night.

Instructions. We know him to be q
good clean gentleman and noted ed
ucator. If he is elected to this very

democrats of Kentucky will be justly
proud of him and will feel that they
have done a good turn for democracy.
In this weeks paper will be found g

dacy and the good work which he has
done. He has made a good impression
all over the state, having made per-

For County Judge.

In this issue We announce the candi-
dacy of James A. Beazley for County
Judge. He is we'll known as a moral,
honest and capable man, and he will
have a strong following. His splendid
service. as Chief of Police of the city
of Lancaster, in the suppression of the
illicit sale of liquor, made him many
friends. His supporters claim that he
abhors corruption in any form; that he
is free from any clique; that he will
guarde and protect the interests of all
the people, ignoring the plans and
schemes of those who seek special fav-
ors and privileges; and that his adj
ministration would be effective in pro-
noting the general welfare.
