ATTORNEY-GENERAL GIVES
OPINION ON ELECTION LAW

The section of the primary law pro-
viding an agreement among candidates
in the selection of election officers, was
construed by Assistant Atorney-Gener-
al M. M. Logan in the following com
munication to Representative Eli Ber-
ry, of greensboro:
frankfort, KY, July 11-Mr. Eli
Berry, Owensboro, Ky.-Dear Sir: In
yours of the 10th inst, you ask for a
construction of Section %, of the pri-
mary election law, which section per-
mits any group of candidates before
the primary to select election officers
in each precict in accordance with the
condition of said election.
my construction of the law is that
all candidates whose names will ap-
pear upon the primary ballots must be
counted in making up the total num-
Der of ballots, but it is further my
opinion that the precincts should be
considered as the unit when such
groups of candidates Recommend
ton officers for appointment, and that
no candidate should be counted in ar
arriving at the total number of candi-
dates in any precinct unless his name
will appear on the primary ballot in
that particular precinct.
This may not be the right con-
struction of the law, but it seems to
me that the law should be so con-
strued, and SO constituting it justice
will be done to all parties. Your very
truly, M. M. LOGAN,
Assistant Attorney General"

BABIES

BABIES
Written for The Day Book by Berton
-,z Braley.
When first they land here they are
And they have funny screwed-up
faces,
And, frankly, they cannot be said
TO show a lot of airs and graces;
Quite frequently they have no hair,
Or what they have is thin and
shoddy,
And they don't look truth I
Like anybody!
And they're heap Of worry, too,
And raising them is not frolic;
So many troubles they go through
With feeding, teething and the
collie.
The family comfort is upset
From Little Tommy up to father;
A baby CAUSES lots of fret
And bother.
They're helpless and they make ex-
pense,
They never earn single penny,
Yet some folks yearnfng is intense
For babies when they haven't any;
And somehow they are nice, it's true,
However much we laugh and fout
them;
don't knew what the world i
would do
Without them!

WHILE RUNNING THE AUTO

of 572 Central avenue, who was ar
rested early Saturday morning and
held by the police as a suspicious
person, was arraigned in the First
Criminal Court today on three
charges, namely, running an automo-
bile without license, running a ma
chine without the machine license,
and running an automobile while IN
an intoxicated condition.
Germany pleaded guilty to the first
two charges and was fined $40 on each
by Judge Hahn, but to the third
charke he pleaded not guilty, but was
held in $500 bail for the grand jury.
Patrolman Quinless, who arrested the
man, testified that he saw the car
standing on the trolley car tracks in
Market street, near Plane street, and
when he investigated further 1t de-
veloped that Germany was asleep IN
the car with his head resting on the
wheel.
Efforts were made to start the car
but without success, and it finally de-
veloped that there was no gasoline
in the tank, and 1t was necessary to
send to the First precinct station
house to get sufficient fuel to run the
machine in. Germany is alleged to
have been intoxicated at the time. but
he denied that he was running the
machine in such a condition.
