about in years past by the head
strong and obstinate course pur-
sued by the State committees of
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties in their eager desire
to advance the interests of one
set of candidates over that of an
other. The result has been that
honest, self-respecting men who
love liberty and good govern
ment more than they do willy and
oily tongued politicians seeking
positions of honor and trust,
have become disguised and now
vote for principles and not for
men. This large and constantly
increasing vote holds the bal
ance of power in the State.
Neither party can win without
their aid. Not to recognize their
strength and influence is both
foolish and puerile. Without
platform and without any decla-
ration of principles, can the
nominees of the Democratic par.
ty appeal to this independent
vote and stand any chance of
securing their support? Other
questions of a serious nature are
now engaging the minds of our
people. Many laws affecting
their lives, liberty and property
need changing. Measures look
ing to the development of the
States resources should be
framed. The taxing laws under
which we live should be remodel
ed. A system of internal i'm
provements is badly needed. Our
school system is not what it
should be. Our penal and chart
table institutions need legisla-
ton. The management of our
penitentiaries should be vested
in a Board of Control, non-parti-
san in nature, and unbiased by
political considerations. These
are the present living, important
questions now engaging the
minds of the people, and candi-
dates seeking their suffrage must
express their osition as to the
best manner of dealing with these
propositions. There must GER
/ tainly exist a strange condition
of affairs when the governing

one of the States of the Union.

The Executive Committee.


ecutive Committe is being Sc
verely censured. Read the fol-
lowing expressions:
Georgetown Times: fit We're
possible it would be good thing
to "cut out, this Executive Com
mittee. Such action would be a
good move in the interest of the
party.
Owensboro. Messenger: There
seems to be a determined effort
all over Kentucky to have a con-
vention or mass meeting" of
Democrats for the purpose of
adopting a platform for the nomi
nees Of the primary of July 1.
By all means let.us have a plat
form.
Shepherdsvilie News: We can
win, and win in a walk, but it
will require intelligent work to
do it. So let the powers that be
call convention of represe nta-
tive Democrats and promulgate
representative platform, put our
candidates on it and fail the
stuffing cut of the enemy.
Hartford Herald: By all
means there should be a State
Democratic Convention or some
sort of gathering to formulate a
platform upon which candidates
may run. Political platforms
are sometimes considered unim-
portant, but they at least serve
to enunciate current party prin-
ciples.
DanvilleAdvocate: The short
sighted politicians controlling our
Democratic State Executive
Committee think they can go
along without a party declara-
ton of principles and make the
people think they are for what
ever the people want, that they
can be all things unto all men.
In vain is the net spread in the
sight of any bird.
Lawrenceburg News: We
have always been a Democrat
and worked and voted for the
nominee, even if he is our po-
litical or personal enemy. We
are now much interested in the
Democratic party in the State of
Kentucky. But we must admit
that we are becoming tired of
the way the interests of the par
ty are being handled by some of
the so-called Democrats.
Marion Falcon: The Demo-
cratic State Committee in session
in Louisville Friday changed the
date of the primary for selecting
nominees for State officers to Ju-
ly 1. The plan to change the
primary to a convention was
abandoned, as was a motion to
call a convention to adopt a par
| ty platform. Without a plat
form and with dissention within
the party ranks, Democracy tru-
ly is in a pitiful plight.
Murray Gazette: Here we
have a lot of gentlemen running
for State Offices as Democrats
and no provision for a
platform is to be made. 1t
would be a nice thing, now.
wouldn't it, to have a lot of nomi-
nees on a platform of principles
in which they did not believe and
could not indorse. Watt Hardin

who will not follow blindly but
demand to know beforehand for

Committee is actuated by the
party's interest, they will call q

US hope for the party's welfare
that this will be done.
The Democrats of Henry coun-
ty met at New Castle aud passed

Whereas, The State Demo-
cratic Committee has ordered a
primary election to be held July
l, 1911, to select candidates for
the various State officers; and
Whereas, There has been no
platform of principles declared
by the State Democracy in re-
cent years; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Demo-
Gratis of Henry county, ask the
State Democratic Committee to
call mass meetings in the various

Garrett does, right next door

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message
suggesting an amendment to the
pure food and drugs law in its rela-
ton to prepared medicines, does not
refer to such standard medicines as
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and Foley's Kidney Pills, both OF
which are true medicines carefully
compounded of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized
by the medicinal profession itself as
the best known remedial agents for
the diseases they are intended to
counteract. For over three decades
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
has been a standard remedy fol
coughs, colds and affections of the

and for grown persons, and 1t retains
