two sons, DIR. Geo. NJ. Ragsdale

sonal property is to be shared
equally between her husband and
two sons. This will was filed for

dence property he gets in Paris is
the place he now occupies. Should

Let us be more considerable one
with the other. Let peace, harmony
and good will prevail. March on
and forward to victory as we have
done in the past. Why permit the
Democrats TO incite us to scratch
and fight among ourselves. We
both lose. Why not get together
and turn upon the democrats
Let us answer the call to arms
and get ready to win Kentucky in
1915, and the Nation in 1916. Our
friends ought to Know by this time
that you can not win votes by
abuse and Islander. Those who re-
sorted to this sort of campaign
most, lost by the largest maiorities.

and honest people-get together,
is the word. Let those who be-
Iieve in the principles OF the Repub-
lican party enroll under its banner
and il there he those who can

AS WE SEE 1T.

THE election is over. We may
now, after the heat of battle, see
most clearly some of the mistakes
Of some of the socalled Progressive
leaders.
These Progressive leaders have
conducted campaign OF vili6ca-
ton and Islander. No man OF any
prominence in the county who OPP
posed them, was spared. Thirves,
Scoundrels, Rogues. Gang, Ring.
Clique aud Boss, were their favor
lite words and their socalled cam.
paign arguments. This applies only
to the Bull Moose candidates
The Democrats for, the most part
conducted a conservative campaign.
making lew charges and none of n
serious character
The Republicans met the Bull
Moose abuse by facts and argu
ments, appealing to the reason,
not the passions of the voters. The
Bull Moose leaders have been car
rying on this campaign OF abuse Tor
more than year, and many good
and true men in Knox county were
misled and deceived by their false
charges.
These so called leaders had n
two-fold purpose in view; first to
continue themselves in office, and
secondly, to destroy the Republican
party.
Many were deceived last year,
but the truth come out. The good
Republicans OF the county began to
find them out. Desertion followe
desertion. The Bun Moose ranks
dwindled from about 1900 votes
last fall to about 500 in the August
primary.
Although the Moosers and Dem
ocrats combined. yet some of the
Republican nominees carried the
county on Tuesday by big ma ori-
ties. 1t looked almost unanimous
to us. The so called Moose leaders
were weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
The charges made against the
Republican party and its leaders
were found to be groundless and the
people returned to the party and
principles of their fathers. The
honest, sober minded voters, who
were once Republicans and who
have been deceived. are coming back
We welcome them back into the
fold, all good and true Republicans
extend to them the hand of broth
erly love, and we trust that our
friends VINO have been trying to
and destroy the "Grand Old |
Party" will see the error of their
way and return to the old party,
that we may all join hands and
present solid front TO the common
enemy. We shall soon vote for a
Governor and United States Sena.
