VOTE YOUR PROTEST.

Does any voter who stops for a mo-
ment to think, want to perpetuate the
present mismanagement of the pixies
of Bourbon county? When your store
or your farm goes down from neglect
for want of attention or failure to dis
charge the duties imposed upon those
in charge, what does any business man
decide to do? Does he fold his hands
and continue to employ those in charge
or does he clean out and take new
start and turn off and get new force
A sweeping vote against Dundon will
be the greatest protest that the voters
of Bourbon county can utter against
be the greatest protest that the voteT
the shameful mismanagement of its
turnpikes in spite of heavy taxation.
The best way the public can protect
itself against such neglect in the flu
ture by the incumbent Of that office
County Judge is to record their votes
against Dundon in such overwhelming
numbers as to warn everyone who fills
that Office hereafter against repeti-
ton of such fragrant neglect of duty
as is manifest in every turnpike in
Bourbon county.

THE PRESENT
= POLITICAL SITUATION.

1t is matter of common talk on the
streets of Paris that Dundon is get
ting weaker and Mcmillan stronger
every day in the race for the nomina-
ton for County Judge. Why? Be
cause all the arguments and reasons
are against Dundon, and in time, the
truth is bound to prevail. Dundon has
held Office until even his friends admit
that he has had more than his share,
and that he has made a mistake in an
nouncing for the Office again. Even
if his administration had been success
full and satisfactory, he would have
made a mistake in running again, be-
cause the public know when he has
had enough, even if he doesn't.
But his administration has been such
a failure that even his friends and sup
porters must confess it, particularly
with regard to the deplorable condition
of the turnpikes, which no one has the
face to stand up and defend. McMil-
Ian is just as good Democrat and just
as competent to fill the Office as Dun
don. Under these circumstances what
good reason can be assigned for re-
electing Dundon? 1t is no wonder,
therefore, as time passes and the voter
soberly reflects on this subject, that
reason prevails and Dundon's cause
grows weaker and McMillan's strong
