A Tricute To Rufus Vansant.

The fight made upon Rufus Vansant,
who is candidate for Chairman of the
Democratic State Central and Execu-
tive Committee, comes as a surprize to
every democrat who is not informed as
to the plans and purposes of the Wat
terson- Haldeman- Whallen combine. In
the nature of things it would appear
that Mr.. Vansant had only to ask for
an endorsement at the hands of his
party to secure it, but on the very
threshold his ambition was challenged
by the very combination which fought
Governor McCreary in the primary and
sulked in the rear when the general
election was held. They do not like
Vansant because they cannot control
him. They could not dictate to him,
and they failed to involve him in any
deals that would embarass the incom-
ing administration or get him to break
the pledges that the party had sacred
ly made in the platform. For this rea-
son Mr.. Vansant must be driven from
public life and repudiated.
Who is Rufus Vansant? He is lum-
Der dealer; his home is at Ashland, in
Boyd county By thirty-five years of
hard work he has hewn out of the for
est of Eastern Kentucky a fortune.
He did not want to get into state poll
tics, but when his friends asked him
to take charge of the campaign and
help elect the democratic ticket, he
shut up shop and spent five months of
his valuble time at democratic head
quarters, and when funds were low and
the heavy expenses of the campain had
to be met he opened his private purse
and met every obligation that the cam
! paign imposed. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Vansant's contribution to the cam
paign fund, made willingly and without
promise or hope of reward or remuner-
alton, exceeded an amount of the COM
bined yearly salaries of the monde
script gang that is now trying to de-
feat him. He never faltered at any
4
stage of that critical contest, his faith,
courage and endurance giving heart to
all his associates.
Mr. Vansant is certain to be chosen
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail and Executive Committee, because
the democrats of Kentucky have never
yet failed to reward faithful and unsel-
fish party service. He is the loyal
friend of Governor McCreary, the ear
nest supporter of his administration
and his policies, and under his direction
no matter who is nominated by the
democrats, you can rest assured that
Kentucky will roll up an old time mai
ority for the democracy.

Much comment has been heard upon
the prices realized for the bonds re-
Gently sold in the Lancaster school and
city precinct, many people being of the
opinion that the bonds should have
brought more money. The school bonds
to the amount of $29, brought
per cent above par, plus the sum of SIS. OC
and the bonds for the water works
improvements only brought S22. sc
premium above par.
When we take into consideration the
fact that there is already the sum of
SIG, 900. outstanding in unredeemed
bonds for the construction of the water
plant, then add to that the sum of
$29, 900. for school purposes and another
$12, 900. for water works improve
ments. and all being based upon the
same property, we are of the opinion
that it is pretty good deal to be able
to secure par for the entire issue. II
is true that it is contemplated, and is a
fact, that the Leavel fund will take
care of the school bonds, but the peo-
pie who are investing in bonds do not
take this fact into consideration; what
they consider is the amount of taxable
property and the amount of bonds is
sued on that property, and taken alto
gether, we think the school trustees
and the city council did well to realize
2 per cent for the first sale and a slight
valuation above par for the second. If
the people who have the matters in
charge will do one half as we'll in the
disbursement of the proceeds of the
bond sales as they have in their actual
sale, then we think the tax payeas will
be ready to say ''well done thou good
and faithful servants, and we believe
they will merit the praise.

There is more agitation among dem.
ocrats in Kentucky at this time as to
who is to be sent as delegates to the
National convention and whether OF
not they should be instructed than
whether Wilson or Champ Clark is to
receive the vote Of the State. We are
firm in our opinion that the democrats
of Kentucky have sufficient intelligence
and quite enough information to know
who they are for. The delegates are
simply agents to carry out the will of
the people. We can see no good reason
why the democrats of Kentucky should
not advise their representatives to Bal
timore of their wishes, Therefore, let
the delegates be instructed that go to
Baltimore from Kentucky.
