GREAT CROWD
AT DEMOCRATIC RALLY.


Boyle. Madison and Jessamine. Gar
rard county Democracy turned out in
full force and enjoyed the cd fashioned
barbecue that had been prepared on the
grounds by large force of help. where
burgoo in abundance was served to the
hungry crowd. The Danville band Of
twelve pieces furnished the music
which was good and added very much
TO the happy occasion. Editor j. Z.
Robinson introduced the speaker and
incidentally put in some good words
for the local ticket which everyone
should be interested in electing next
Tuesday. When the distinguished
Kentucky Senator mounted the ros-
trum. repeated and deafening applause
greeted him. He was most happy in
his ready and continuous strains of
oratory.
Answering criticisms of the special
tax made necessary by war conditions
abroad. he said when the tariff was
enacted the administration had a right
to expect that revenue would come
from the usual sources. but an unan-
ticipated war stopped international
commerce.
I'VE didn't make the war;" he said,
but, thank God, Woodrow Wilson
prevented us from getting into it,"
Then he told what had been subject
ed to this special ax-liquors, cigars
and cigarettes, documentary stamps
and Pullman car tickets.
1--WE tax Injuries which people can
do without. The Republicans taxed
the necessaries of life. We tax the
man who rides in Pullman. The Re-
publicans would have taxed the man
who rides in a day coach"
He said that the defeat of the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall wonld be ascribed
to the unpopularity of the National
Administration and considered rebuke
to Woodrow Wilson. and was vocifer-
ously applauded when he added; "Such
