The Climax-Madisonian. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1914-1917, 1915-08-11

Republicans who were decided upon
months ago.
Lack of opposition failed to stimu-
late interest among the Republicans
in many sections of the state, some
counties casting only few votes.
PLATFORM BEFORE NOMINATION.
The Republicans at their Lexington
convention decided upon a platform
which stands for the county unit as
against statewide prohibition.
Agreed with the attitude of the
Democrats on this matter, there will
be little division in the parties, with
the exception of the Progressive vote,
the leaders of whom claim they will
draw from both parties.
KENToN STRONG.
Kenton County gave Morrow the
biggest vote of any county in the state
at the Saturday primary.
FIRST PRIMARY.
This is the first primary in which
the Republicans have ever participate
ed. Formerly and before the recent
enactment of the General Assembly of
Kentucky all nominees were selected
by the old-time conventions.
HARD BATTLE FOR NOVEMBER.
Headed by State Chairman Ed
Franks, of Greensboro, the Republicans
have laid plans for strenuous fight
at the November election.
While the state is normally Demo
cratic, the Republicans expect a sim.
liar reoccurance of 1907, when Will.
son, Republican, was elected Governor
and Bradley to the United States Sen
ate.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM CON.
VENTION,

The Democratic platform convention
continuous performance political show
for the purpose of promulgating a
platform to put under the Democratic
candidates named Saturday to try con-
clusions with the Republican and
Progressive nominees at the regular
election on Tuesday. November 2.
With A. o. Stanley. the Democratic
nominee, and pledged to the county
unit law and against statewide pro
hibition, it is practically certain that
the county unit sentiment will pervade
the convention, and, with the views of
President Woodrow Wilson and Sen
ator Ollie NJ James, which are in
keeping with the view of the Kentucky
Democracy as expressed in the con-
vention of 1911. will be written into
the platform of this year.
Within the next week or ten days
State Democratic Chairman Vansant
will call the state committees together
and fix the time and place for the
assemblage of the delegates and to de-
termine the date and manner for the
selection of the delegates.
FIRST PRIMARY ELECTION.

ination for state offices under the pri-

OPTOMETRY'S LATEST
DISCOVERY
PROMISES GREAT BENEFIT.

Until very recently colored lenses
were prescribed and worn without
any attempt to assign scientific rea'
son for their use. The ordinary colors
used were smoke, blue and green, and
1t was clearly conceded that certain
colors gave great relief to sore eyes,"
but 1t was equally we'll known to the
optometrist that the results were not
uniform. Where a pair of colored
lenses secured immediate relief and
cure in one case, they proved to have
no value in the next, although the eS.
ternal symptoms were identical in
both cases. This is the problem OPP
tometry set out to solve: If pair Of
blue glasses Of proper strength, ac.
curately ground, gives results in one
case why are not like results obtained
in all similar cases? Since the Option.
etrist has made Optometry an exact
science nothing less than a. scientific
reason would suffice. This led to an
Investigation of the nature and prop
critics of light in general and it's ac
ton on the human eye in particular.
Several centuries ago Newton proved
by using the spectrum that white light
is blending of several other colors,
red, green, etc. This was practically
the sum of light knowledge until the
new science of Optometry entered the
field, Early in his investigation the
Optometrist discovered that the glass
in old buildings underwent a good
deal of change in color, in many in.
stances amounting to a full shade
Seeking cause it was found to be
due to the difference in the wave
lengths of the different colors OF
which light is composed. Here was
a new train of thought, viz: that be-
side the several colors that combine to
make likht as we know it, these colors
have different wave lengths. The red
waves being longest, the violet the
intermediate. These different wave
lengths have the power of producing
different sensations in the eye, the
ultraviolet ray producing positive irri.
tation in numerous cases. Here was
found the solution of host of eye
infiammations hitherto unexplained,
and here also the Optometrist discov.
cred why so many people wearing the
regular white optical lenses, al.
though perfectly fitted and accurately
ground, failed to find the expected
comfort because their lenses had no
effect on the irritating wave
lengths. 1t reasonably follows that
lenses made from glass that would alb.
sorb or radiate the disturbing rays
should succeed in giving greater COM
fort to the wearer, as well as curing
inflammatory cases. New formulas
for optical glass followed the new dis.
covery, that the Optometrist Is able
at once to decide what material to
order for his patients lenses. Thou
sands of experiments have proved
that this latest discovery by the Op-
| tometrist furnishes the long sought
| for comfort to sensitive eyes.
Few, if any, of the sciences have
made the strides in exact knowledge
that Optometry has in the past dec
ade. The high scientific training, the
! technical Skill of the modern Optome.
trist have superseded the crude meth
DDS of dilating the pupils, lengthy and
tiresome examinations, together with
the pompous guesswork of the self
