Makes Telling Speech To Ganard County
Citizens AT Court HCHse Monday.

Ex-Governor j. c. w. Beckham
spoke Monday afternoon in behalf of
the state and county Democratic ticket
at the court heuse to packed house,
one of the largest and most attentive
audiences that has listened to a politi-
cal speech during the present cam
paign i'll Lancaster. If any of the
citizens of Garrard county thought
that there We're any sore spots on the
Ex-Governor, or that he was showing
any inclination to play the part of a
sulker in his tent, their minds were
certainly put at rest on that score by
his speech. With all the fire and elo-
quence. for which he is noted, and
which he exercised in the conduct of
his own campaign, in a two and one
half hour speech, he advocated the
principles of Democracy and the cleo
ton of Gov. McCreary and the entire
ticket. 1t was conceded by all who
heard him that Gov. Beckham made
the best speech heard here and one
that will have the most telling effect
in behalf of Democracy.

Chairman R. H. Vansant, of the
Democratic Campaign Committee gives
out the following statement:
THE contest for the Governorship
and other State officers is drawing to a
close. On Tuesday November 9TH, the
people will render their verdict at the
polls. The Campaign Committee has
not rested from its labors since the be-
ginning Cf this battle for the redemp-
ton of Kentucky from Republican mis-
rule. Its members have worked I'M
selfishly for the furtherance of party
success. We have made clean, fair
fight in the open; held men to their
public records, and have made no at
tack upon private character. The
Campaign Committee is confident that
the Democrats will be elected to every
office of the State government down,
and that the Legislature will be Demo-
cratic; thus assuring the election of
Ollie James to the United States SEN
ate.
1.-The members of the Campaign
Committee (and | speak also for every
candidate on the ticket feel indebted
to the Democratic press of Kentucky
for their hearty and generous assist
ance. They have rendered invaluable
aid, and without their assistance our
best efforts would have failed of effect.
The daily reports from the various
County and Precinct Chairmen are
most gratifying. They bring assurance
from every District of an increase in
the Democratic vote.
while | am supremely confident
that We will secure a decisive majority,
majority, | want to warn my fellow
Democrats against over-confidence. 1t
will take the united support of every
Democrat to make the election sure.
We are facing a willy, reyengeful and
desperate enemy. They realize that
defeat in Kentucky this year will be
fatal to the future supremacy of their
party in this State, and that it will
have great influence on the Presi-
dental election next year. They will
fight until the last ballot is cast, and
we must meet them at the polls in
solid array, with not a man missing
from the ranks"

VIII Represent CaYrard.

Tuesday and paid US a pleasant call.
Mr. Farra is the Democratic candidate
for representative and will, so knowing

should be, for he will make a useful
member of the Legislature. This thing
of sending figure heads to make laws is
a farce we are glad to say IS playing
out. What is wanted is men who are
right up to the minute on public needs
and matters, men who can and will DO
something Of credit to themselves and
their constituents. Such a man is Mr..
Farra, and he will be heard from.
With men like Farra and Francis Doug

men would hold session of which the

WILL HOLD YOU AT ITS MERCY
In The Event Of The Defeat OF The Bond
Issue.

Do you know why the order was issu-
ed for vote on the bond issue? The
city council were contemplating the ex-
tension of the water works as soon as
possible, but they first proposed to Sc
cure an exact estimate cost of the pro-
posed extension and then submit the
proposition to the people for their ap-
probation. In the meantime the water
became foul and the Board of Health
took the matter in hand and informed
the City Council that unless they took
IMMEDIATE steps to secure better
water that they, the Board of Health,
would condemn the water plant. This
action of a necessity forced immediate
action on the part of the council, thus
is the seeming haste in the matter ex-
planned.
Do YOU know what the condemnation
of the water plant and the shutting
down which would of necessity follow
would mean to Lancaster? 1t would
mean the immediate raise in your rates
of insurance to such figure as to make
insurance almost prohibitory, and prob
ably the cancellation of your policies
and the refusal of the companies to
take risk on Lancaster property at
any figure. 1t means that we would
again be compelled to stand and watch
our property be destroyed by fire and
we helpless to prevent it, no means at
hand with which to combat the flames.
In the face of these probabilities can
we afford to vote against the issuance
of the water works bonds?
Lancaster will be compelled to have
better water, and the only means of
securing it is to extend the pipe line to
the river. This must come sooner or
later, and the only means of extending
is by the issuance of bonds. Better
issue them now, and by the coming of
another dry season the work will be
completed.

Family Reunion.

eden did honor to the occasion by
spreading q sumptuous dinner and Miss
Lille Leavell added much to the enjoy
ment of the guests with her delightful
music and sweet voice in song.
Mr.. Jennings has reared family of
which he might well be proud, and one
whose filial affection gives him so much
pleasure in his declining years, and
while his health is very feeble indeed
and cannot hope to have many more
reunions here, yet we trust that the
''reuniting" will not be unbroken in
the Great Beyond.

The air is vibrant with victory for
the entire Democratic ticket. 1t is
borne on every breeze. 1t fills the
sails of the old party ship, and sweeps
it over the waves to the harbor of
success. The assurance that we will
win in November finds an answering
message in every glad Democratic
countenance. There is no doubt or
dependency anywhere. From every
quarter of the State comes the cry
"All's wellp'
Now that the Campaign is drawing
to close, it is comforting to find the
conditions so satisfactory. The Demo
cratic Committee, through its Chair
man, K. H. Vansant, tells the party
that the organization covers every Pre-
cinct; that it is earnest, active and
faithful, that no sound of dissension is
heard; that a reunited Democracy is
marching in solid ranks behind Nc
Creary, McDermott, Ollie James, and
their party associates; that the old
Kentucky home is certain to be re-
deemed from Republican mis-rule.
Those who have borne the burden of
the fight in the field bring tidings of
great joy. They have spoken to thous-
ands, and have carried into every home
the truths that have made the Demo-
cracy endure. They have preached the
gospel of reform to which Governor
McCreary and his associates are COM
mitted, and whose pledges they will
sacredly keep. They have piled noun
tain high the iniquities of the Republi-
can party in the State and nation,
until its defenders lie crushed beneath
the burden.
These party evangels share the conf
dence which has set the rank and file
afire with enthusiasm. They have seen
victory mirrOred in the upturned faces
of their acknowledgements; they have
seen faction disappear in an unselfsh
desire to promote the Democratic
cause; they have seen former party
leaders, and the thousands who follow
ed them into other camps, back in line,
eager to lend every assistance in their
power to save Kentucky. With these
evidences Of success visible on every
side, is it any wonder that they have
brought from the front news that in
spires every Democratic heart?
There is no possibility of defeat if
Democrats only do their duty. They
must not let over-cOnfdence keep them
from the polls. Every vote is needed.
If only yourself and four Of your neigh
bOrs stay at home, and a similar num-
Der of other careless Democrats do the
same in every precinct, it will make a
difference of 10000 votes. You can
not afford to take any chances.
The Republicans are beating the
bushes in the Eleventh District. Judge
0 Rear is personally walking the noun
tain paths, and is urging the halt, the
lame and the blind to come to the
polls. He is begging them to bring
their neighbors from the ''head of the
creek" that it all depends on the Eleven
tn District; and, that nothing less than
30, 600 majority will satisfy him. The
Republicans are resourceful and desper-
ate. Defeat in November will make
Kentucky Democratic for the next
quarter OF a century, and they will
leave no stone unturned to prevent it.
Every Democratic hope in State and
nation depends upon the result in No.
vember. Give one hour to your party
on November 7th, and victory is Ger.
tain.
