Campaign Opening PreSaSes
Victory.

The meeting of the Democratic State
Committee at Louisville last week was
attended by scores of enthusiastic Dem
ocrats from all parts of the State and
determination was manifest TO elect all
the nominees by overwhelming MAORI
ties this fall. Thomas S. Rhea, State
Treasurer, was named for chairman of
the campaign committee, and Urey
Woodson, who held the position of ma
tional state committeeman so long and
so worthily until displaced by the late
John G. G. Mayo, was re elected unani
mously to it again, as he deserved to be-
After rousing speech for effort and
harmony, Senator Ollie James read a
dispatch from President Wilson, urging
the election Of Governor Beckham TO the
United States Senate and adding that
any other result would be deeply dis
appointing. The President may rest
assured that he won't be disappointed
in that regard, for the Democrats
are impatient to right the wrong four
men wearing the livery of Denoc-
racy the better TO serve the devil of Re-
publicanism, for lucre or other consider
alton, did him and the party that nomi-
mated him. Governor Beckham is going
TO be elected by the biggest majority
since Tilden carried the State by over
10000. In electing him the Democrats
will accomplish two things-right that
wrong and put the seal of their con-
domination on the man who pardoned
those accused of the heinous crime of
asSasinating Governor Goebel.
There is absolutely no doubt of the
election of Hon. Johnson NJ. Camden
for the short senatorial term. His OPP
ponents for the nomination got very few
votes, showing how strongly he is the
choice of his party and proving how
futile will be the effort of Mr. William
Marshall Bullitt to wrest the office from
him.

cent men in Congress. John Langley

cation will not be changed from ten
Democrats to two Republicans.
As Governor Beckham said in his
speech, the issues of the campaign will
be largely national and victory will be

his admirable policies. The election is

REVIEW OF THE WAR

The week ending Sept. saw the
right wing Of the German army In the
vicinity of the Paris forts, following
the reduction of the forts at La Fere
and Maubeuge. German forces now
occupy Belgium and nearly the whole
of France north of Paris. The city of
Amiens was taken by the Germans.
French troops abandoned Bologne,
and Rheims fell into the hands Of the
Germans Saturday without resist
ance. The port of Havre will be
abandoned. General Buelow's army
captured near Rheims a French force
of $4,000, with ammunition. and guns.
Official bulletins issued at Paris Sept.
6 described a movement away from
the French capital by Germans to-
ward the southeast.
The central army of the Germans,
under the leadership Of Crown Prince
Frederick William, is advancing rap
idly toward Paris. 1t Is marching
westward from Verdun.
Ever since the battle of Mons open
ed, two weeks ago, the movements of
the French and English have been to-
ward the rear; first in a Northwestern
ly direction, then in Q southerly d.
ection.
All accounts agree the moment II
approaching swiftly when the French
capital must have resort to it's own
defense. Despite occasional tempo
rary successes Of the allies, their line
| appears to be slowly giving ground
before the German advance. The Ger
mans, in a semicircle, reached points
east and west Of Paris, their left wing
| touching La Ferte-Sous-Jouarr in
the department of Seine-et-Marne.
An agreement has been signed by
Sir Edward Grey, British secretary Of
state for foreign affairs, and the
french and Russian ambassadors at
London, In behalf OF their respective
| governments, that peace shall not be
concluded separately during the pres.
ent war by any one of the three al.
lies, and that no one Of the allies will
| demand conditions Of peace without
| the previous agreement of the others
Last week the French moved the
seat of government from Paris To
Bordeaux, where President Poincare

rived safely. Noncombatants have
fed from Paris to the east and south
The Belgian town Of Dendermonde
In East Flanders, has been taken by
the Germans. The inhabitants OF the
district have opened the dykes and
are flooding the country.
Servians claim that the Austrian;
left 10000 dead after the battle o.
Jadar and that the Servians captured
1900 prisoners.
Russian general staff reported or
Sept. 4 that Austria lost 100000 mel
killed, wounded or captured in the
battle for the defense of Lemberg
The Austrians we're overwhelmingly
defeated by the Russians. The con
fiict lasted seven days, with 100000
Russians attacking 100000 Austrians
The Lemberg forts were reduced.

The distrust of man is shown even
with the highest dignitaries of the
Church. The cardinals were locked up
just like jury while they voted for
new Pope, just like common, ordinary
jury in a murder case, to prevent them
from being subject to outside influence.
Cardinal Glacoma Della Chiesa was final
ly elected and he at once assumed the
name of Benedlcte XIV. He is an Ital-
ian and was born in 1854. He has the
distinction of being the first official Of
his Church to condemn the tango, so we
may expect to see all the new dances of
a doubtful nature eliminated by Papal
decree. Then what you gwine ter do?

1t is enough to make cat cachinnate
to hear the Frankfort State Capital ac-

Our city was shocked Sunday morn
ing on receipt of telegram from Day
ton, Tenn, announcing the sudden death
there OF our fellow townsman, DIR. j. Q.
Morgan. There are few citizens in our
city who will be more missed than he
Born in East Tennessee in June, 1850,
he spent his boyhood and early man
hood working on farm, accepting such
educational advantages as were offered
by his neighborhood. Before 30 years OF
age he moved to our county, settling first
at College Hill. where he practicsd his
profession in company with his brother.
Afterwards he moved to Richmond
where after living year or two, he went
to Baltimore TO complete his dental edu-
cation. He did all he could to make
himself master of his profession. Re-
turning to Richmond, he began his prac-
tice. For more than 30 years he had his
office over the Madison National Bank,
and has enjoyed most lucrative prac-
tice. Few men have ever lived in Rich
mond who had wider circle of friends
than DIR. Morgan. They were number.
ed only by his acquaintance. An in.
tense Republican, his clients like his
friends were drawn from all parties
He was Mason and Knight Templar
having been treasurer of the Command
cry for many years. He had gone to his
old home for short visit, when he was
stricken with heart failure. 1t seems
fortunate that he should have returned
to the scenes of his birth and to his own
people to spend his last week in life
He was by inheritance Methodist
and died in the communion of thai
Church. He was buried with Masonic
honors Tuesday in the family burying
ground near Dayton. A number of Rich
mond citizens left Monday afternoon to
be present at his funeral.
Honorable, just, loyal Sir Morgan

Thievey Unearthed.
(W. P. WALToN.)

1t is passing strange that so many
thieves are able to secure Office under
Democratic officials. Another has been
disclosed at Frankfort, who, according
to Examiner Sherman Goodpaster, is not
only guilty of theft, but perjury and mu-
tilation of records besides. This man,
according to the oath of Secretary of
State Crecelius, is T. S. Byars, who had
the automobile desk in his office, and
who is now under arrest, although when
confronted with the charges he gave his
check for the amount embezzled-Sl,'
303 GA. There is license fee on all au-
tomobiles of S. up TO "a horse power and
$40 up to another much higher power.
The plan was to erase all larger amount
and pay the State only the smaller.
Many owners written to answered that
they had paid $40 when the State only
got s.. Byars protests his innocence,
but he may have hard time in estab-
fishing it. Whoever is guilty, whether
he be some one else, it is hoped that he
Will be given such sentence as will de-
ter all future thieving officials from fol
lowing their bent. The Democratic par
ty has had enough to carry of such Gre
atures since the days of Dick Tate
Democratic officials of all others should
be held to the strictest accountability
and be punished more severely because
they parade as Democrats. There may
be some excuse for Republican who
steals; there is none whatever for Dem
ocrat.

II is disappointing that in his appeal
for an emergency internal revenue tax,
to meet the loss in customs receipts oil
800, 900, 900 because of the European
war, President Wilson had not said some
thing about reducing the useless expens-
es of the government. There are suffi-
cient number of them to more than meet
the falling off of revenues if the ak was
properly applied. Among the things to
be taxed and upon which taxes are to be
raised are beer, whisky, tobacco. gaso-
line, railroad tickets, cards, soft drinks
and chewing gum, things that will bring
in revenue at once aud continue to do
so.
