A FIzzLING FROST.

The Beckham, & o'Resr movement
has fizzled out in Kentucky and we
hear nothing more of their great state
wide campaign. From what the Ga
zette has learned from men who at
tended the speaking in Western Ken
lucky. the campaign was the biggest
frost ever accorded speaking tour of
any character. Whatever the object
of the combination it is evident that
the scheme failed of fulfillment. And
right now we predict that when the
Democratic statewide candidates read
their votes after the August primary
there will be more astonishmeni ex-
pressed among their ranks. Whatever
the status of the liquor question, it is
certainly not political question. and
no one has a right to inject it in politics.

In his speech at Paintsville, Hon. A.
o. Stanley said:
ITO succeed in Kentucky the Demo
cratic party must remain harmonious
and united. To succeed nationally, the
party must preserve an unbroken
front. We are fortunate at this fateful
hour that great, patient and coura-
geous man is at the helm. Democrats
and Republicans alike forgetting for
the time being their differences, turn
to Woodrow Wilson as their hope and
their shelter in time of storm. Think
ing of the safety of their homes and of
the lives of their sons, all are ready to
uphold the hands of the President.
''He is especially anxious at this
time that the Democratic party should
not be divided by any foreign issues.
that no question which is not political
in itself. should be injected into Demo-
cratic councils. He is entitled to the
support of every Democrat in the So
luton of the worldwide problems that
confront him and confront the Demo
cratic party. For that reason he has
again reasserted his earnest hope that
the Democrats of Kentucky will not
allow themselves to be divided into
hostile camps over the liquor question.
1--WE settled that question in 1911 as
Woodrow Wilson wanted it settled. On
May Is, 1915, in letter to Gen w. b.
Haldeman he again expresses his earn
est wish that the Democratic party
would adhere to the position taken in
1911, and asserted with emphasis that
it was not only his position then. but
that it is his position now.
lis there Democrat in Kentucky
who has the effrontery to claim that he
is better friend Of temperance thar

lis there Democrat in Kentucky

President for the leadership of CaleL
Powers or Edward c. O'Rearl
II am willing to trust the President
Of the United States as my counsellor
and guide not only in matters political
but in matters moral and social. and
pity the taste Of man who believes
that o'Rear or Powers or any Other
Republican, is capable Of leading the
people of Kentucky to higher spirit
ual level than our own President, OF
that any cause however good can be
advanced by the destruction of the
