CAMPAIGN NOTES.

When a Democratic house pass
es bills reducing the tariff on
wool, and the farmers and labor
ers free list bill, and the Dem
ocrats of the Senate with the aid
of Republican insurgents, enact
these measures into laws, and a
Republican President vetoes
them, every Kentucky speaker
must keep silent on the subject
for the reason that Judge O'Rear
publicly confesses that he has
never read the bills, nor heard
of the vetoes.
When the official records show
that Governor Wilson spent in
three years and a half over
$27O,OOO for State militia,
Judge O'Rear objects to Gov.
McCreary's discussion of the mat
ter, although the Republican
platform, which he and Caleb
Powers wrote, unreservedly en-
dorses Wilson's administration.
Nor does the Republican candi-
date think it polite for any body
to quote from the records, the
astounding fact that Gov. Will.

Hon. E. ]. McDermott, Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, made a farceful speech
in the Court House Monday. He
was introduced by Hon. ]. F.
Montgomery of this city, whose
address was heartily received and
who vouched for the eminent
qualifications and fitness of Mr..
McDermott for the position he
seeks. The Court House was
full to the point of uncomforta-
bleness, but throughout his entire
speech of over an hour, the
closest attention was given, meet
ing hearty applause in many in
stances. His speech, an appeal
to reason, not passion nor preju-
dice, was pointed and logical and
in the main will accomplish more
good than a dozen of the kind
that appeal to the rabble. In fact
we need more speakers of Mr..
McDermott's trend of mind in
in every partiof the country

Hon. VIM. Adams, who con-
tested the: nomination with Gov.
erncr McCreary, states in a
Courier-Journal interview that
the Democratic ticket will be
elected by::15, 900 majority. Mr..
Adams took::hissdefeat like the
good game loser that he is, and
is now working,'valiantly for the
success of his party in Noyem-
Der. The significant feature of
this campaign is the unselfisL-
ness of the Democratic leaders.
Every man of..ssthem is putting
aside his personal ambitions in a
loyal effort to redeem the State.
The Adair County news., 1911-09-20

1t is gratifying to see the old
leaders in the ranks once more.
All of them realize that Demo-
cratic success in Kentucky this
year will add materially in the
election of a Democratic Pres
ident next year. These access
ions prove that the Republican
statements that the Democracy
of Kentucky is divided into fac
tons, are without a basis of
truth. While-the party has been
through a very::strenuous period,
Democrats everywhere have &C
copied the result, and instead of
flying at each others threats, are
united in their determination to
place Kentucky where it be.

states.

platform approves every act of
the Wilson administration.

Voters throughout this section
of the State should bear in mind
that Mr.. Jas. Garrett, of Adair
county, is the nominee for Attor-
ney General On the Democratic
ticket. He has many warm,
personal friends, who do not
agree with him politically. but
they will readily tell you that he
is a very competent gentleman,
a 'lawyer of ability, and would
make a most excellent State Of
fetal. There is'scarcely a doubt
as to his election, but Mr.. Gar
nett desires to poll a large vote
in the counties that he calls
home, and all his political and
personal friends are urged to
support him.
The Adair County news., 1911-09-20

Gov McCreary, has enthused
every party man in the State.
Victory in Kentucky and the ma
ton is the battle-cry, and the
whole Democratic electorate is
falling into line.
This is not a contest to ad-
vance individual interests. or to
further personal ambitions. 1t
is a call to arms to dislodge the
Republican enemy from control
at Frankfort, and Washington,
and it is the patriotic duty of ev-
cry Democrat to enlist for the
war. 1t will be a victory in
which all of US will share.
The Democrats never had a
better ticket or a stronger plat
form. How can any man who
has the interest of his party at
heart, fail to support every man
on it, and once for all, get rid of
Republican rule in this State.
Edward ]. McDermott, the
Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, is proving a
revelation on the stump. The
people of the State are learning
what his home folks already
know, that he is one of the most
eloquent, forceful and convincing
speakers in the South.
Gov. Wilson is entitled to his
vacation like any other state en-
rloye. but when he is absent
from his post of duty 269 days,
and has drawn full pay from the
treasury for work he never per-
formed, the Lieutenant Governor
drawing a salary likewise, then
the people have a right to object.

Governor McCreary's crit

spending over $4,000, for
militia purposes struck Judge
O'Rear on his funny bone. He
did not see why the Democratic
candidate should get excited be-
cause Wilson chad spent a few

said, My tive brotliersIn-law have

is parasite dangerous to the life Of

1t is only question Of time after

Is of slow growth, taking years TO de-

poked and' jabbed at him from. the
