The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-11-13

In the placing of credit for the splen-
dl1 ~v--ocratIu victory in Kentucky
on Tuesday, the major portion is be-
ing handed to Thomas S. Rhea, of Lo-
gan county, State Treasurer who led
the fight for Beckham and Camden as
Chairman of the Democratic State
Campaign Committee. 1t was an old
time Democratic victory, probably the
greatest in Kentucky in thirty years,
the majority going above anything
given the party in that long time, and
Mr.. Rhea was the recipient of hun
dreds of kilograms complimenting him
on his leadership and campaign man
agement for the party.
1t is conceded that the oyerwhelm-
ing result was largely due to organi-
cation, in getting the people aroused
and to the polls to vote. Chairman
Rhea has long been known down in
the Third Congressional district as
a campaigner, but this was his first
tory. He brought the methods of or
ganization which made him so sue
cessful in county and district politics
into the state fight. He devoted
every energy to the work, selecting
his own campaign committee and all
of his assistants and personally di-
recting every move that was made.
Not content with running one special
train through Kentucky bearing a
national character, Mr.. Bryan, as the
star speaker, he conducted another on
more extensive scale, which carried
only Kentuckians as speakers and
campalgners. This proved more sue
cessful than the first and did much to
arouse the voters to the necessity for
turning out on the day of election.
County and precinct campaign com
mittees were everywhere named early
in the contest, and were kept in
touch with the State organization and
it's speakers bureau to the end that
every section of Kentucky had its

cabinet council Of the empire meets
every day at Peterhof It's resolutions
are outwardly submitted to the car
for confirmation. But, as a matter Of
fact, the cabinet simply o. ks the
orders of the all-powerful commander
in-chief. and the car then also at
tached his signature. In time of war
the cabinet does not dare defy the
army head nor does the car.
II all this is concealed from the
mass of the Russian people, it is en-
tirely clear to that astute German, the
czarina. Supposed to be a nervous in
valid, she has suddenly donned the gar
ments of the sisters of charity with
her daughters and entered the hospi-
tal wards. She is even present at
operations and has bound up the sol
dier's wounds with her own hands.
Anyone who knows the almost relig-
tous attitude of the Russian peasant to
the Little Father" can realize the
wild enthusiasm aroused among those
whom the Czarina thus visits.
Can the czarina be striving to win
back for her family the personal pop
ularity the grand duke is taking from
her husband? 1t may be so. Her little
son, now 10 years old, is suffering from
an obscure ailment and may never
grow to maturity If he lives he might
have hard work in gaining the throne,
for the tradition of blood inheritance
is not any too strong in Russia. Many
times in her history Russia has seen
Inheritance by might instead.

car has long suffered by physical
comparison with his soldier cousin
now he suffers in a more serious way.
If ever there were a king in looks
il is Nicholas Nicholaievitch. He is
full six feet six inches in his stock
ings, lean but graceful, with a head
in which the keenest intelligence is
combined with vast dignity and force.
When he is with the car the latter

cant looking. a coddled monarch. In
secret the cars subjects are not slow
to speak of this and many avoW his

promises? Such an issue might prove
popular one for Nicholas Nicholaie-
witch.
The history Of grand duke Nicholas
begins in an unhappy youth. He chung
to his German mother, whose Russian
husband had woefully wronged her and
ruined the family fortune. But come
to manhood, he followed straight in his
fathers footsteps, for the parent was
one Of car Alexander IFS famous field
marshals, who many times had
scourged the enemies of Russia.
Alexander III was not especially fond
OF the young grand duke Nicholas, for
noble and peasant alike consciously or
uncOnsciously gave more homage to
this splendid giant than to the three
spindling. dull sons Of the ruler. He
ordered that the grand dukes army
activities must be limited to the cav
alry-but the only result was soon to
be told that his horsemen, thanks to
Nicholas Nicholaievitch, were now the
best in Europe!
Family Not Free From Scandal.
Meantime the Nicholas family life
was not free from the scandal which
so often has made the title grand
duke" a reprOaCh. He first married
the middle-aged widow of a wealthy
trader. He did not bring her to court,
but left her at -AoscOW, where she
would be safe from the sights her ex-
pany. She died and her husband, now
a rich man, only too quickly welded
the princess Anastasia Of Montenegro,
with whom he had long been in love.
1t was while she was the wife Of an
other man, the duke of Leuchtenberg,
that Nicholas Nicholaievitch wooed
and won her. She persuaded car
Nicholas to permit her divorce.
Wife is a Firebrand.
Anastasia is a large framed, vigor-
GUS ambitious woman, devoted to the
cause OF the Slavs She is a firebrand
and unscrupulous in methods to fur
Their her husbands progress to the po-
sitiOn of natural leader of the Rus
sian SIavs She is always magnificently
clad and is as regal in figure as her
husband.
Throughout the japanese war the
soldiers hoped grand duke Nicholas
would be made their leader and he
was again and again promised to them.
Many believed final disaster would
have been averted if the car had con-
quered his jealousy of his popular
cousin. After the war, when the throne
was threatened by the revolutionists,
the car was forced to fall back on
the man he had sighted and the
grand duke restored order by stern
means. He was in danger of assassi-
nation. and commanded admiration by
constantly going about the streets un-
attended.
Cars Ambition Curbed.
Just what happened when the pres
ent war broke out remains to be told.
II will be an interesting story It is
known that the car aspired to follow
the kaiser's example, take the field
with his soldiers, and "be his own field
marshal" What pressure was brought
to bear to dissuade him from this pur-
DCse and to force his acceptance Of
grand duke Nicholas is hard to say.
But there are rumors that the mObili-
cation was well along before the car
knew of it.
It is to be remembered there is a
Junker party in Russia as well as in
Prussia. And this party claims the
grand duke as leader.
The present situation is this: The

SHUGRUE OUTFIGHTS
WHITE AND WINS
Jersey City Lad Forces Fighting Nearly
All the Way and Has the Best
Of Seven Rounds.

New York, Dec. S0.-Joe Shugrue Of
Jersey City outfought Charley White
of Chicago in n ten round bout at
Madison Square garden Tuesday night
Shugrue had the better Of seven rounds
Both men weighed in under 1873 pounds
at o'clock and their ringside weights
were: Shugrue. 1873 Ia; White 100 IA
1t was q clean, fast fight. Shugrue
forced the pace nearly all the way,
while White. during the early rounds,
was cool and seemingly confident He
met Shugrues rushes with snappy left
hooks and right counters, but he de-
pended mainly on his left hand.
Shugrue shot jab after Jab to the
face and White retaliated with left
hooks and short right crosses, one Of
which caught Shugrue's nose in the
opening round. At times they stood toe
to toe in hot mixups, but invariably
the Jersey City lad had the better Of
the argument
In the eighth the Chicago lad showed
aggresslveness and sent in. some hard
blows to the body, as well as hooking
At the end of the round he landed n
hard left hook far back on the jaw.
This was Whites best round.
Shugrue Kept up his jabbing tactics
in the ninth and blocked CleVerly, hay
ing the best Of this session.
The final round was Iull of fast work
by both men. White landed some swift
left hooks to the face and also had the
better of the infighting, at which he
was not so successful in the previous
rounds. He used both hands to advan-
tage, taking the honOrs Of the round
in hurricane style.

VILLA PROMISES
FIGHT CAN GO
His Representatives Agree
that Big Bout VIII Not Be
Molested in JuareZ.


RumOrs and reports of the doings Of
Jack Curley, who is in El Paso in the
interests Of the syndicate promoting
the Willard-J Johnson match, have been
numerous of late. The latest is to -he
effect that CurIey signed an agreement
in Juarez Tuesday night agreeing to
put on bouts in JuareZ in which jim
Flynn, McGoOrty, Gibbons, WEIGH, Dill
Ion, Willard, Richie. Johnson, Packey
Mcfarland and practically every other
boxer of note would be principals. These
reports are all branded by Curley as
false. It is possible that he will match
Flynn at some time prior to the big
bout if it is held here. but ne has not
even thought Of any other matches, he
says.
The reports probably grew out Of
meeting in Juarez Tuesday night be-
tween Curley, Juarez fight promoters
and Villa representatives. The only
article of agreement signed was one 10
which the representatives Of Panch0
Villa attached their signatures and in
which they agreed to permit the fight
to be held in Juarez and to give pro-
lection to it and to all who attend.
The fight is far from being settled,
but a meeting is to be held Wednesday
afternoon between Curiey and those en-
deavOring to bring the match 10 III
PesO. 1t is not only possible but quite
probable that some definite action VIII
be taken at this meeting.
The principal thing Curley has been
waiting for was the official promise OF
protection from Villa and his repre-
sentatives. 1t is now believed that the
fight viii surely be pulled off in
Juarez. as Curley has already closed
conditional agreements for the use Of
the racetrack grandstand for seating
the spectators at the fight.
Arrangements are now being made,
tentatively. to bring Jack Johnson
from South America 10 some point in
