OPENING GUNS.

Hon. A. o. Stanley opened his cam
paign At Frankfort Saturday. He makes
practically the same old speech that he
has been delivering for years, and en-
phasiZed the fact that he was great
advocate of local option.
Gov McDermott opened his campaign
at Greensboro the same day, and he an
nounced that he stood for the county
unit and home rule, the same as he did
in 1911.
This brings the issue directly to wet
and dry campaign. McChesney and
McDermott and Stanley for the county
unit.
The contention that the state officers
have nothing to do with the question of
state wide prohibition is great fallacy.
The Governor has the veto power, and
can put the AK to any bill that does not
meet his appreciation. The state officers
WELD powerful influence, and if they
should be inimical to a statewide bill,
their influence would serve to encompass
its defeat.
In spite of the candidates, the issue
has been made, and this state must de-
termine whether or not it is for the Wet
or the Dry. So far as we are concerned,
we made our position clear in the last
issue. Locally this position had always
been proclaimed and was well known.
We have neither apology nor explana-
tion to offer to any person for the posi-
ton that we take. We believe in a
sober community rather than drunken
one. We believe In encouraging the
best that is in man rather Than sur
rounding him with influence which de-
grade and debauch him. And so long
as we are able to speak, or able to write,
we shall maintain and proclaim this po-
sition.
We leave it to the sober, intelligent
judgment of the fathers and mothers of
this city and county, and to the intelli-
gent young men and women, who in a
few short years will be directing and
controlling the affairs of this country,
whether or not we are right.
We have no quarrel to pick with the
very excellent gentlemen who differ
from US. We respect them and respect
their opinions. The only trouble is, we
differ and, differing, we express our
opinion on great question which must
be settled by intelligent discussion.
Kentucky must be redeemed from the
curse of rum.
