day, as several hundred students and
wagon loads of trunks and other bag
gage are being received at the various
buildings. The institution has almost
800 students each year, and these, with
the many teachers, constitute quite a
large family for Supt. Rogers to man
age. But he is right on the job and
there is little or no confusion IN put
ting the works in operation.
Several days prior to the coming OF
the students, teachers are sent to des-
ignated cities and towns in Kentucky

by their parents, They are then taken
in charge by the teachers, who bring
them safely to Danville. The Messen-

hold up the hands of Woodrow Wilson
when he takes the place of Governor
of the Commonwealth. So far as his
views on the liquor question are con-
cerned, we differ from him as widely
now as during the late campaign, But
that is not now an issue. The issue
now is between the Democratic and
Republican parties, and as Demo
crat the editor will support the Dem
ocratic ticket.
And we are for Mr.. Stanley because
IL the conditions had been reversed We
should have called upon the friends Of
Mr.. Stanley to vote for McChesneS
Just as they did vote for and elect Sen
ator Beckham after he had licked
Stanley in the primary.
These are few of the reasons why
we shall vote and work for the cleo
ton of A. o. Stanley in November.
