California is a great state. There is
no doubt about that 1t has had a
wonderful growth in recent years.
Everybody you meet Is a booster

great results. Southern California

No Beer.
Crowd Of Kansas Boosters
Ma de Trip Without
F In d ing Beerin Thir-
: teen Towns.

The Emporia. (Kan.) Gazette
in a recent issue, made the fol-
lowing interesting statement:
1T was a hot summer day, it
was, also dusty. One hundred
and fifty men were riding from
town to town in Central Kansas
in autos, on a trade extension
tour. They were Kansas men
merchants, lawyers, doctors, ed.
itors, clerks, mechanics, bank.
ers, farmers. From time to
time they stopped at thirteen
towns during the days run. No
one in the crowd spoke Of beer.
No one had any beer. No one at
the thirteen towns offered any
one any beer. At most of the
towns there we're great, deep
stoned jars Of iced lemonade on
the sidewalks, with bright tin
cups hanging from the Jars, and
a sign up welcome, Empori-
ans. :" There was no whisky,
wine or beer in the crowd. No
one missed it. No one spoke Of
it. For these man, ranging from
30 to 80, had lived in Kansas
thirty years under absolute pro.
hibition. Most Of them had new
er been in q saloon in their home
town in their lives. Booze was
as remote from their conscious
ness MS carbolic acid. Booze is
not in the Kansas scheme Of
things. No one thinks Of it.. Its
presence or absence is not con-
sidered By the Kansas mind. !"
When the Nashville Boosters,
two hundred strong, invaded
West Tennessee, Rev. Ira Ian
drith, one Of the crowd, was re.
sronsible for the statement that
not drop Of intoxicating drink
was to be found on the special
train--and his word was verified |
by many others, notwithstand-
ing the personnel of the boost.
ing crowd contained a number of
Nashville business men classed !
as whisky men?'' Booze and
business is an undesirable mix.

and its hopes are we'll founded
If it can get its kind, the fol-,
lowers Of the rotten liquor bust
ness, to handle the counting of
the votes. We are frank to say
that if the whiskey gang gets
hold Of the election machinery
Of the State, we can think Of no
means of redemption and the
restoration Of honest elections
short Of by bloodshed. The
Jacksonian says, and says truly
from its standpoint: Had
Democracy (whisky) had control
of the election machinery three
years ago Hooper would never
have been elected Governor Of
this State" and bob Taylor
was defrauded Of severel thous-
and votes he should have ceiv-
ed and Hooper got several thous.
and he was not entitled to.
Such statement is ridiculous,
for the jackson paper knows that
the principal swlndling in the
election was done in Davidson
and Shelby counties, and all
against Hooper. Bob Taylor and
McMillin got q fine, large nigger
vote, but they fell short on the
whites who would not be led off
on . whisky platform. To put it
ia nutshell, the Jacksonian
thinks fnsion . thing Of the past
in Tennessee, but We have no
doubt what will happen again in
this good old State the first time
another whiskey candidate for
Governor il trotted out-witk
none but whisky money in his
pocket to pay his keep on the
campaign.

iClerk Of the Supreme Court
Chief Justice NJ. NJ. Neil denied
the writ Of supersedeas which
sought to dissolve the injunction
of Judge A. B. Neil, stopping
the old Election Board Of David
son County from holding an elec
Ition.
Inrcndering his opinion Judge
Neil sets forth that his former
opinion in which he dissolved
the injunction of Judge A. b
Neil commanding the old board
to turn over the election machin.
cry to the new board, would
stand, and that should the new
board attempt to conduct the
primary and later be declared
an illegal board that the prima.
ry would be null and void.
Two injunctions were directed
against the old Election Board
by Criminal Court Judge a. B.
Neil. Que was mandatory, com.
manding the old board to turn
over the election machinery and
mantle Of Office to the new board.
The other was prohibitory and
enjoined the old board from con.
Quoting registration or election.
Seeking to dissolve the injunc-
tions, the old Election Board FL.
ed supersedeas before Chief JUS

Chief Justice Neil granted the
supersedeas and dissolved the
mandatory injunction. but re.
served his opinion to to the pro-
hibitory injunction until q later
date. Friday Justice Neil hand.
ed down his opinion as to the
prohibitory injunction.
In speaking Of the legality or
illegality of an election held by
the new board, Justice Neil says
in effect that should the new
board conduct the, primary in
September, and that later If the
Supreme Court should declare
unconstitutional the law passed
By the present General Assem-.

board was crested, that all can

Lightning

Children Killed by Light
ming Last Friday.

Last FRIDAY afternoon was one
of almost unforgetable horror to
many in Lexington. Soon after
noon the lightning began its
play and the reverberating thun-
der seemed to shake the very
foundations Of the Earth. Be-
tween ! and 2.o'clock an unusu-
ally keen streak of lightning,
from a cloud North of the Public
Square, followed by mostterrif-

pressing our opinion on this sub.
ject, we want to explain our
designation Of the Jacksonian

for whisky, for anarchy in the
large cities and for a dishonest
election law by which the whis.
ky element hopes to get hold Of

ion of William Jennings Bryan,
we and thousands Of others in
Tennessee would have left us no

Wilson that with all his high
office we held him in contempt
and scofned his Offices. But
again, we state that we do not
believe President has made any
such statement. As to the atti-
tude Of Senator Shields, the re.
port seems to be authentic.

Winnepeg Strikes.

Winnepeg, Man, April 25. The
painters and the tailors' unions
are on strike. The painters demand
raise of 10 cents an hour, and the
master painters have refused to
concede, hence the stoppage of the
work. Since the strike began the
painters have practically doubled
their membership. All means were
exhausted by the journeymen to
secure an amicable settlement, but
the master painters refused every
proffer, even arbitration. The strike
of the tailors has resulted in a
complete tie-up of the custom
houses in the city. About 200 tail
ors are involved. Another contest
IS also imminent the carriage,
wagon and automobile workers be.
ing on the verge of contest. The
employers of the latter craft have
refused to accede to any of the
terms demanded, but efforts are
still being continued to secure al
amicable settlement-w without much
hope of success, however.
