The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-10-28

gested by Gov. Beckham, 1t has been
a long struggle, but it has been a de-
lightful struggle. l know nothing that
gives man more real satisfaction
than to feel that he stands for cause
that can not die. Yes, it has been a
long struggle, tiresome at times and

Hopes Then; Realization Now.
They say We in politics say the
same things over and over. That is
partially true, but l have new
speech for you. l have never had a
chance to deliver this speech for you.
Heretofore | have fed you on hopes;

And what record he has made.
Tonderful! And he could not have
ade it without Democratic Senate
md a Democratic House.
The Presidents Labors.
This is not a one-man government.
One man in the White House can do
G"aat tti"qs. and yet from the begin
ming to the end our constitution bears
he impress of the idea of co-opera-
ton. The President can recommend
That is the beginning. And he can sign
he bill. That is the end The Presi
tents actions are the Alpha and
Omega. but the rest of the alphabet is
I the Senate. and the House. Unless
"a President has the Senate and the
'crse in sympathy with him, his
commentator are in vain. Unless
le has the Senate and the House to
end him bills to sign, he waits pen
~ hand in vain. But, fortunately, the
iame tidal wave that carried our party
to the White House gave us a substan.
,ial majority in both the Senate and
he House, and this President of ours
began work at once. According to the

as has Mr.. Wilson.
Elect Beekham and Camden. e.,
desire first to emphasize the fact,
and desire you to bear In mind. as

could not have given you one single
act OF remedial legislation had he not I

TO help carry out these ideas and con-
time these reforms Is TO elect Beck
