Powers a'Fakir.l
Artful IN DupIicity and
Strong on His Mix-up
In the Coebel Affair.

The press in the 18th district las'
week was wen supplied rs to why
Powers should be returned to Con
sress. This stan Is similar 10 WhaI
the people have heard so much Oh
before 1t is matter that has no place
IN this campaign between two Re
publieans aspiring to the nomin-
alton to Congress from this grea'
Republican district, especially ny
Powers, in that his opponent makes
no charr, that he was guilty in the
I4oebol transaction and has no Issue
with him as tu whether or not ne
got square deal
It is assumed the llth district
which is composed ~ people Oh
nigh culture, aspiring for progress
and the development Of our unusua'
gift or natural resources, desires inc
election 5f ~ Representative VINO
can command The attention OF the
nation to our duty. In this assulpp-
ton there should not he any anuel'
patton hat thsY5ters will he inter
ested IN the Inference that because
Powers was arrested 10y BosW0Ith
brother. NyhoNus sheriff of FaYe'e
county. Senator Bosworth IL not
deserving of the support of the peo-
Ils:uur j. there in THE charge eA-
cent the uersst rut that BosWorth
isa Democrat. Powers. himself,
assisted in. having Bosworth put on
the Republican state Central Com
mit,es; assisted. in. his election 10
.he Se-ace, both il his candidacy
Sor tins nomination and il the gen
sraI election. Furthermore Bos-
worth has held Office as Kepunh-
can fer fifteen years IN the capacity
of c3tv attorney, councilman and
b police Judge Of Middlesbor0, and
subsequl utly inthe House or Repre-
sentatives ana as Senator. The
Republican party at nome ana
throughout the State have COM
mended his efforts and recognized
mis- achievements Try putting him on
the State Central Committee from
the Statc-at-large.
Undoubtedly the real fault that
Powers sees in Ellsworth is his sue
cess as q lavmaker; IS the encomi-
nuns the people Of all parties and
the press have FOR mis- good roads
legislation, his tight for q fair prt-
mary law re- districting the State,
SO that Republicans may be on an
equality with the voters OF other
parties the enacting of laws Great
ing new judicial districts in this Sec
ton Of Kentucky to enable poor liti-
giants 10 have their rights adiudicat-
ted; the passing of a workmen'
compensation act, which enables
the injured laborer to he fully com
peusated and in case Of death, his
family paid for HE life, whether
such person was in fault or not; per
sistentlv advocating the cause tot
temperance ia accord with the best
thou1 ht # temperance people anu
numerous other acts, az against
Powers record OF not a single
achievement; as against marry law
passed Of which he was the author
during his term as our Congressman
Wen might the Artful duplicity,
the unjustifable accusation by Pow
ers that Henry Bosworth mistreat-
ed him as prisoner; the statement
that BoswUrth is not a Republican ;
the awfulness Of Bosworth having
voted to erect a monument TO JetIer-
son Davis, find lodgInent in the
minds Of this electorate were We
not q people Of high attachments,
possessing already the appreciation
that tho Republican and Progressive
parties have, IN unbouBded mag
nanimitv, endorsed the giving Of our
money and expressions Of our love
to the wounded soldiers and their
widows Of the Southland.
And we'll might Powers toisC his
prejudice and passion upon us peo-
pie, his trickerv and questionable
accusations, if there were no news
papers printed nowadays and no
public schools for the enlightsn-
ment Of our children aud teachers
10 sharpen their minds TO differen-
tate betwixt merit and the preten-
sions of it.-Advt.
Accept II as the Truth.
