10. We favor the return to a d.
rect vote for the nomination of all
county, state and national elective
of.ces and the repeal at the earliest
possible moment Of the present cum
bersome, expensive and unintelligible
so-called Richards primary law, which
practically restores the old caucus and
convention system.
20. We challenge comparison In ex
pense Of conducting our state govern.
ment with that of any other common
wealth, considering service rendered,
and we call special attention to the
report of State Auditor Anderson to
the last legislature in confirmation of
this statement.
81. We pledge ourselves to con
tinue the administration of the affairs
OF the state with the strictest economy
consistent with good and efficient gov
eminent, and the adequate mainten.
ance of our education and our bene-
VIOLENT and other institutions.
%. The contest for fair and reason
able freight and passenger rates must
be continued until such rates and
charges are fairly and equitably estab-
lished on a basis of a fair return on
the actual value of the property EN-.
ployed.
%. The business Of telegraph, tele.
phone, express and sleeping car com,
panies should be regulated, controlled.
and their charges limited, on the same
basis indicated herein for railroads.
"a. Contract labor in our peniten.
tiary should be abandoned. The shirt
making contract upon which part of
the men are now employed Is indie
feasible from any standpoint and must
not be renewed on its expiration in
1915; other employment must be de.
vised for the inmates as rapidly as
possible, and outdoor employment
should be provided SO far as practi-
cable.
rs. While favoring every possible
improvement in all the schools of the
state, we call especial attention to the
importance of the rural schools where
so many of our coming citizens are to
receive their education. We favor the
encouragement of consolidation and
improvement in such schools, teaching
the fundamental principles of agricul-
ture, industry and commerce therein,
and increasing their efficiency. We
favor a system Of efficient agricultural
extension education, both national and
state.
26. We favor the development Of
a system of rural credits that will

thought they had seen everything
worth seeing in and around Delray,
but there is something to e here all
he time. There is to be an auction
sale of lots in Osceola Park to last five
days. Free dinners every day at the
Baptist church for customers. Each
day a horse leaps from a tower fifty
feet high into the canal. Free auto
rides to and from the park forenoon
and afternoon of each day, free for
everybody. That big object lying on
lawn looking for all the world like a
big brown dromedary is really nothing
but the aeronaut's balloon, which is to
sail every day to draw the crowd.

Co. Fair with it's mammoth display

rowing money on their farms on long
time at reasonable rates Of interest.
We favor such legislation as may be
found practical to promote and en-
courage this.
q. We favor amending the taxa
ton and revenue provisions OF the
state constitution to permit classify
ing different kinds of property so as
to secure a more just and equitable
assessment and valuation, than can
be secured under the limitations of
our present constitutional provisions.
%. We favor a graduated, progress
sive income tax, with proper exemp-
tons and an occupation tax upon for
eign corporations to take place OF
part, and ultimately all, of the general
property tax.
20. We favor a law, state and ma
tional, providing for the insurance of

80. The late republican legislature
having submitted a constitutional
amendment providing for the extern
sion of the right Of suffrage to the wo-
men of our state, the thoughtful at,
tention of the electorate is invited to
the consideration Of this important
measure to the end that an intelligent
and fair settlement of the question
may be reached.
81. We favor liberal appropriations
by congress for the carrying out of

semi-arid lands Of the west as inau'
gurated by the republican administra'

Why does my heart beat SO because

Hurley Drops Two Games.

Too much carnival" is proba-
bly, the reason for the Hurley boys
poor playing last Sunday. They
lost both games, the first to Besse-
mer by the score of 8 to 3 and the
second to the Dixie All Stars by
the count of II to 8. Lubi was on
the mound for the locals in the
first game and although he pitched
a good game his support was rag
ged and the enemy had an easy
time of it. Jareski served EN- in
in the second contest but the poor
support was still in evidence and

mer and Hurley play at Bessemer

A Happy Wedding AT Cedar.

At her home near Cedar, Miss
Sarah Crandall, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs 5 l.. Crandall was hap
PLY married to AIr, Richard Clar-
ence Coey, on Monday morning at
a quarter past ten o clock. The
bride wore a gown Of beautiful
white satin and long flowing veil,
very appropriate for the occasion.
The groom, thrifty, enterprising
young man, wore blue serge and a
smile Both are fortunate in their
choice. The ceremony was per
formed by the Rev. G.. B. Thomp-
son, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of Hurley. The sol
emn words were hardly spoken
when Mrs. Cook, sister of the bride
broke the quiet spell by a shower
of rice. From that moment every
one, the mother and the father, the
neighbors and the minister, cele-
brated by purely innocent jest and
jollity. A very bountiful spread
was set before all. The wedding
cake, was as usual, cut by the
bride. 1t goes without saying she
did it up good and white. " The
groom s friend, Mr.. Ennis, Of Ce-
dar, was the best man, and Miss
Thompson, of Ashland, graced the
occasion as the brides maid. They
accompanied the bride and groom
on their wedding trip to Ashland
and other points. The friends de
parted musing in the spirit Of the
poet Milton And if I give thee
honour due, mirth admit ms of thy
crew

DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
Hand of the Grim Reaper Rests Upon
Many this Week. One Killed
in Mine Accident

In the death of Peter Gleason
another old Hurley pioneer has
joined the great majority. A week
ago last Saturday Mr.. Gleason was
taken to St. Joseph's hospital at
Ashland, and last Saturday even
ing he breathed his last. He had
been i'll with dropsy for long time,
finally resulting in his death. The
remains were brought here and
Tuesday morning were laid to rest
in the Hurley cemetery with ser
vices from ST. Mary's church.
The deceased came to Hurley
about 80 years ago and therefore
was one of our earliest residents.
He was unmarried and lived alone
in a small house on the corner of
Second avenue and Maple street,
and as far as known has no rela-
tives. He was of Irish descent and
at the time of his death was so yrs.
old.
The death of this old resident
brings sorrow to many of his old
friends. Although he lived the life
of hermit Mr.. Gleason had his
close friends and companions, and
while of a retiring disposition he
took great interest in the things of
the day and by reading and study
became well-versed in the various
activities and duties of life, and
among his friends was honored for
his sterling character and broad
mindedness.

COMPLIMENTS MONTGOMERY
Lancaster Paper Pays Tribute to State
Senator of THIS District

Under a picture of him. the Lancas-
ter Record, IN recent issue, paid the
following well deserved tribute to SEN
ator Charles F. Montgomery. of Lib
erty: We know OF no young man that
has arisen SO rapidly in public favor
as Senator Charles F. Montgomery of
Liberty. who represented the counties
OF Garrard. Lincoln. Boyle, and Casey
IN the upper house during the General
Assembly. While he was not at all
times with the majority OF his asso-
ciates in the Senate the position he
took that brought him into disagree
ment, added to his popularity with his
constituents. In fact to be popular
with the people it was necessary for
members of the last Legislature to he
IN the minority. Senator Montgomery
was one of the most active members of
the Senate against the Glenn Insurance
Bill, against the passage of which the
people of his district were almost I'M
aninlous. He used his best efforts for
the enactment of the Anti-Press Bill
Although Senator Montgomery pos
sessed very decided views upon public
questions he was polite and consider
ate OF the opinion of others which made
MIN one OF the most popular and in
iiuential representatives in Frankfort.
The reputation he made by the firm
stand at all times at Frankfort on be-
half of the peoples interest with his
personal popularity, makes Senator
Montgomtry one OF the most promising
young democrats in this section of
Kentucky, and we predict for him a
bright future.
