A FAIR VOTERS VIEW OF
The CIRCUIT CLtRk'S RACE

Barbouryiile, Ky. July %, 1913
Editor Advocate, City
Dear ir:-
Between the very exciting con-
ditions existent owing to the
election and the strained Condi-
tons between our fatherland and
Germany our people should not
lack for interesting topics for
discussion. And 4 frank discus
sion of these two prominent fea-
lures of interest would not, ]
think, be amisa either in point of
interest ur necessity. Let Us
take up, firstly, the lycal matter,
namely the election Of fitting olii-
GERS !or cur local territory. AS
it suits our minds, in that we are
naturally more interested in
things that we have to deal with
close at hand we will consider
the local political situation.
We thiuk, those of us who do
think, that we should have W.
H. (Henry) Mcdonald for Cir
cult Clerk for the following lea-
sons:
|. We know he is efficient for
we have watched the conduct of
his office since he has been Cir
cult Clerk and we know positive
ly, that he has made us The lest
Clerk Knox County has ever pro
duced.
2. Apart from the actual du-
ties he owes as an official we be-
leive that there has been no Off
Ger, ever, in Knox County with
AS GREAT an accommodating spirit,
willing to help anyone anytime.
WE WHO KNOW HIM KNOW
THIS WELL.

ed to the office of Sheriff one

year term)
S, II. Jones has had the Sher-
ifs Office a term of four years.

Court Clerks Office two terms of
six years each, twelve years.

wards were the sections where the
purchase plan was killed. These
three wards alone piled up q ma
jority OF 1881 votes against the
purchase. that being pretty nearly
the whole majority against the plan
in the city.
Home owners and taxpayers
turned out to defeat the street rail-.
way purchase plan at the election
Tuesday. The result was a major
ity OF nearly 1000 against the plan,
which to become effective would
have had to poll 60 per cent Of the
vote.
The vote on the street railway
proposition was very heavy in pro-
portion to similar votes In the past.
With the returns from one precinct.
the first OF the Seventeenth ward
mislaid, and not aavilao Die. the total
vote was 6a174 This Is almost
5000 more votes than were cast for
mayor last year. the total then be-
ing 81 .610. On the Thompson-Hally
ordinance in January. 1912. there
were but 5S,04l votes cast.
The vote Tuesday. however. heavy
as IL seems In comparison TO recent
totals. was not particularly heavy
in comparison 10 the registration.
Prior To the Monday registration
there were on the registration books
Of the city 1869 names. The
Monday registration was reported
everywhere to be the heaviest on
the history OF the city. II has been
estimated that 10000 new names
were added to the lists.
There Is total registration there
fore. OF somewhere near l25.o00. and
the vote cast was but little more
than so per cent c: the registra-
ton.
The defeat Of the purchase plan
may he attributed almost entirely
to the fact that the price to be paid
for the property was not part OF
the ballot. as II shown by the fact
that TIC houN Wv
districts and the districts where the
business and professional men and
women I've were. as general rule,
strongly against the purchase.
II was the business feature that
did the trick The polling booths
Tuesday were full OF stories Of men
who had not voted since the last
presidential election. or since the
presidential election before the last,
who turned out to register and vote
this time. because they feared the
