DEMOCRATIC Victory.

Chairman R. II. vansant of the
Democratic Campaign Committee, ha
issued statement predicting DEM
oeratic success. This is not the
claim of rainbow-chaser who is
fooling both himself and his par
ty, but is the frank opinion of
practical man, who is in touch
with every county in the State and
VINO can speak authoritatlvely OF
the work that is being done.
The organization is the best that
has been made in Kentucky in many
years. 1t not only comprises old
and new Leaders, but goes into
every precinct and enlists the sup
port of the rank and file. which,
after all, determines whether vic
tory or defeat shall be the portion
of any party.
Every man who has attended the
Democratic meetings, bears testi-
mony to the accuracy of Chairman
Vansant's prediction. The great
crowds, the unbridled enthusiasm.
and the hearty welcome given Dem
ocratic candidates and speakers re-
call the old days in Kentucky. when
the State went forty thousand Dem
ocratic without an effort.
1t only remains for the Demo-
Gratis to go to the polls to place
Kentucky where it belongs. back in
the list of Democratic States, new
er again to stray away from the
old faith and the old traditions.

WIN the Preachers be cnurht2

The Republicans are at their
same old tricks, trying to play up
on the prejudices of the preachers
of the gospel. They are getting
the names OF each preacher in the
state and are sending him spe-
cial class of literature, in order to
prejudice him against the Demo-
cratic party on the whiskey ques-
ton In order to get him to vote
for 0'Rear. and also In order to get
each one of them to try to influ-
ence his members to vote the Re-
publican ticket. II is to be hoped
these gentlemen will not again be
caught by the deceptive song of
the Republicans. Four years ago
hundreds OF ministers bolted their
ticket, thinking they were doing
Gods service and believing they
were voting for man and a par
ty who would vote for and secure
the extensions OF the county unit

Carrollton, Ky, Oct. 9-Formei
Secretary of State H. v. McChes
ney spoke to a good crowd here to
day in the interest of the Demo
cratic ticket He devoted most oil
his address to State issues. He said
in part;
The wearer OF a halo" Is ordi-
narily supposed to be very circum.
spect in his behavior. and especially
careful as to his spoken words This
is necessary in order that the halo
may remain spotless. This being
true. II grieves us to call atten-
ton to the failure of Kentucky's on
ly halo owner to live up to the
plans and specifications.
But let us get down to our NUT
ton. Senaor Bradley, who has dis
carded his SLOUGH hat for the
Phoenix Hill halo" doesn't show
any sign of Improvement in his
manner OF juggling figures and con-
cealing the truth in his campaign
speeches. In his Ashland speech
he told his hearers that the Will
son administration has paid out
for education, in round numbers,
SS,7S5,000 more than the last Beck
ham administration. and added that
II this had not been done the State
would now be s2.5000,O00 out of
debt.
That statement looked like a pref
ty good showing for the Republic
cans. but the trouble about it is
that the Senator was so busy keep
ing his halo on straight that he
entirely forgot to mention the 9TH
er side OF the account. Perfectly
willing to tell his audience that
the Wilson administration has paid
out $3,7S5.000 more than Beck
hams administration, he neglected
to tell them that the Wilson adj
has received into the
treasury S4,S2s,O0O more than the
preceding administration with
which to pay this s3,7S5,0OO ex-
less for education. The Sena-
or left his audience to find this

To date Goeyrnor Wilson has
only been absent 26s days from
his post of duty. He has drawn
from the treasury for that period of
idleness $4,7S6.2O, his salary being
$3.50 per day. and for doing his
work Lientenant-Goyernor Cox has
drawn the same amount. This is
the wastefulness and neglect which
Judge o'Rear's platform tells the
voters is altogether praise-worthy.

When Judge o'Rear thought he
was going to put the Democrats on
the defensive and have them on
the run. he reckoned without that
valiant leader of the embattled
hosts. Goernor McCreary. The Dem
ocratic nominee has not retreated
an inch; nor will he. His cause is
just; his opportunity great; the oc-
casion Ideal, and he will carry the
battle into the thickest of the
fight. Never in his long career
has he shown greater vigor. His
example makes every member of

This campaign may seem all fam
and frolic to Judge O'Rear, who is
striving to surpass Mark Twain and
Bill Nye with his witticisms, but
we can assure him that the voters
regard this election as serious
question in which not only a
Governor. Senator. and all State
officers are to be chosen. but a

test In 1912.

OFF FOR CAMP BISHOP
Company F. Goes to Ottumwa For
Ten Days MANNERS.

First Lieutenant John G.. Bradbury,
Capt. A. T. Drinkle, left this morning
with the local command via the Rock
Island for Ottumwa, where they will
go in camp at Camp Bishop with
eleven other companies and the band
of the saith Regiment, Iowa National
Guard.
Co. F was composed of forty-seven
members and, the boys had special
car for their trip. 1t was the inten-
ton of Lieutenant Bradbury to go in
and other causes, made it necessary
for seven to remain at home. Co. F
is in first-class shape, and the men
have been working hard the past few
weeks. They presented a soldierly
and well drilled appearance as they
swung down First street this morn
ing.
Some of the men were disappointed
as it was this year that the 54th regi-
ment was to go out of the state, but
tho government hao p0Sh at q Sohoiu
cradle expense to keep soldiers on the
border, and made it necessary for
them to remain in the state. They
will be in camp ten days. When the
company camped in Ottumwa before,
about 20 years ago, the boys marched
across the country afoot, taking two
days to the trip, and camping at Ere
mont enroute.

Des Moines Day at the Fair.

Des Moines, Aug. 2S.-Special: The
Wright Brothers are the big attrac-
ton at the State Fair today. This is
Des Moines Day and thousands of Des
Moines citizens were early upon the
grounds. Patrick Conway's Concert
band and the Gait Kiltie band were
the main attractions at the fair yes
terday. The attendance was not
heavy, due to the fact that no excur-
ton trains have been run into the city
from over the state as yet, and to the
further fact that all the buildings,
save the stock barns, were closed and
the public kept out.
Phillip Parmelee and Clifford Tru.
pin, the Wright aviators, made two
successful and beautiful flights at the
state fair at noon today.

MANY Go TO THE FAIR
Rock Island Special was Crowded
Before Reaching Oskaloosa.

Additional service was installed on
the Rock Island railway this morning
between Washington and Des Mones
for the accommodation of the state
fair passenger traffic. Nine coaches
were in the first train arriving at O5,
kaloosa at o'clock, but this number
was not sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the business. The train
was loaded when it pulled into the
Oskaloosa station. One hundred and
seventy-four tickets were sold from
this station for the first train, making
crowd of more than three coach
loads. Not nearly all of this number
could obtain accommodation on the
early train and waited for the 800
o'clock regular train. The ticket
sales to Des Moines for Monday of
the state fair week are in excess of
all previous records.
