Col. Bennett Young Says
Kentucky Is Sure For Wilson

Louisville, KY, Aug. II There are
no Democrats in Kentucky SO far as
know who are intending to vote for
Roosevelt. Among the hundreds of
people with whom | have discussed the
results of the coming election | have
never heard any Democrat say he
would vote for Roosevelt.
On the other hand, many Republicans
have declared that they propose TO
vote for Wilson and Marshall. In this
city and state the majoriti.s of Wilson
and Marshall will, in my judgment, be
Unprecedented.

excellent that it is hardly possible
to make special mention of any of

two performances to entertain the
crowds that attended. 1T was really
good from beginning to end and was
greatly applauded. There is a unan-

some future date and we. hope that
