And Tried Hard to Stir Up
The Apathetic Repub-
licanS.
SOMETHING OF AN ORATOR
He Made an Entertaining Pre-
SentatiOn of His
Side.

Hon. E. P. MorroY, Republican
candidate for Governor, spoke at the
Tabernacle Thursday afternoon and
the crowd was a large one, almost
filling the big building. Mr.. Nor
row is good speaker and a fine en-
tertainer and made a good impress
sion, this being his first appearance
here.
His speech was a general arraign-
ment of the Democratic party, the
customary campaign material of the
Republican speakers. He did not at
tack Mr.. Stanley's record, but con-
fined his criticisms to candidates for
minor offices.
His crowd was made up largely of
Republicans and he was given liberal
applause at times, but aroused no
enthusiasm. He claimed to have
confidence in his election, but this
claim did not seem to impress his
hearers.

OLD PIONEER
CEMETERY
To Be Enclosed on Four Sides
By Low Wall of
Concrete.
WORK HAS ALREADY BEGUN
Winding Concrete Walks Also
to Be Laid Inside the
Grounds.
WORK HAS ALREADY BEGUN

At recent meeting Of the city
council an appropriation Of $1,5OC
was made to place wall around the
four sides of the Pioneer Cemetery
on the corner of Thirteenth and Fer
rell streets. The cemetery contains
about two acres and fronts $50 feet
on Thirteenth street.
The contract to build a concrete
wall was let to M. G. Moore. The
wall is to show II inches above the
ground, except on Thirteenth street,
where the street has been cut down.
1t will show 8 feet high on that side,
being about level with the ground
inside. In addition to the wall there
will be concrete pavements 5 feet
wide extending from the two corners
on Terrell street in an irregular
course to the western corner on Thir-
teenth street. Near the center there
will be a square made by the pave
ments in which it is planned to erect
a monument to the pioneers buried
in the cemetery prior to 1858.
This old cemetery was formerly
overgrown with weeds and bushes
but several years ago it was cleaned
up and its improvement started.
Trees we're set out, plans made for
walks and the work was about to be
begun when the council of 1913 with.
drew the appropriation made by the
preceding council and stopped the
work. Mayor Yost has become in
terested in the matter and under his
leadership the council authorized the
present work to be done. There
will be no provision made for the
cemetery to be entered by vehicles
and there will be no entrance on the
south side of the cemetery.
The work is to be done at once and
has already been started. 1t does
not call for pavements outside
of the walls on the streets on the
north and east sides.

PARALYTIC
STROKE FATAL
End Came to Ferd Schmitt
Thursday. Buried With
ElkS HOnOrS.

Ferd Schmitt, one of the promi'
nent business men of Hopkinsville
died at his home on West Seventh
street Thursday afternoon at A
O'Clock, of paralysis.
The stroke that Frustrated him a
few days before was recognized as
fatal from the beginning. He soon
lapsed into complete Inconsistencies
and sank gradually to the end.
Mr.. Schmitt's father was M.
Schmitt, a well known citizen of the
war period. He was born in New
Orleans in 1853 but came here as a
boy and nearly all of his life had been
spent here.
He was a charter member of Hop.
kinsville Lodge No. 545, B. p. o. E.,
and the Elks conducted his funeral
services yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock according to the ritualistic
forms. The lnterment was in River
side Cemetery.
A sad feature is that his death oc-
ours so soon after that of his brother
in-law. 7. j. Tate. from the same
disease, only a few weeks ago.
His surviving relatives are Mrs.
Eva Bachman and Mrs. Fannie Tate.
Also two nieces. Mrs. Bailey Russell
and Miss Fannie Bachman and one
nephew, DR.. Leslie A. Tate.
Mr.. Schmitt was a man of wealth
and had many friends to whom his
untimeIy death will come as cause
Of sorrow. He was a loyal friend, a
devoted Elk and an honest man, gen.
erous and kindly in bis impulses. As
a citizen he was liberal and progress
sive and no man took greater pride
in the development Of the city.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
MORROW'S MARES NEST.

In his speech here Thursday Mr.
Morrow. the Republican candidate
for Governor made a bitter attack
on Barksdale Hamlett'srecord as Su.
perintendent of Public Instruction,
Among other things he said Hamlet
had collected hundreds of checks Of
$5seach from persons who were is
sued state certificates as teach.
ers. He exhibited some of the can
celed checks and declared dramat-
ically: There is a stack of them a
foot high and the money went into
Hamlett's pocket and is there yet
and ! can prove it. l dare him to
sue me for saying this"
AS a matter of fact the law author
ICES the collection of the fees in the
following language:
Sec. 1902, KY. Statutes, Carrolls
Edition, 1915, says: 90" Said
Diploma shall be impressed with the
seal of State Board of Examiners, and
the fee>of the applicant shall be S.,
which shall be paid to the two men,
bers who with the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, compose the
State Board of Examiners"
Sec% 4503. speaking of the fee for
state teachers certificates, says:
49, The proceeds of the fees
for examination for state certificates
shall be divided between the two
professional members of the State
Board of Examiners, in proportion
to the services rendered.
AS to the other charges against
Mr.. Hamlet. the reader is referred
to the speech of Mr.. Hamlet reply
ing to them, which appears in full in
this issue of the Kentuckian.

Sir Edward Grey Makes State
ment in House of
Commons.
ALLIES IN DARDANELLES
RumOr That Gar Has Asked
Permission to Move Troops
Through Rumania.

London, Oct. 15.-Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
made long statement in the house
of commons on the situation in the
Balkans, but failed to satisfy curosi-
ty as to the progress of the Anglo
French expedition landed at Saloni-
XII, He did say, however, that Rus
sian troops would cooperate "as
soon as they we're available"
The French premier, M. Viviani,
had more cheering news for the al
lied countries, when, in the French
senate, he expressed the belief that
the allies can count on Italian CO.
operation in the Balkans"
There is much speculation as to
how Russian assistance will be af-
forded. Italy has large number of
troops available and the means of
moving them to the desired spot, but
Russia is Handicapped and there is an
inclination here to believe a report
from Rome that Petrograd has ask
ed Rumania to allow Russian troops
to pass through her territory.
These diplomatic questions are not
delaying military operations. The
Austro' German and Bulgarian at
tacks on Serbia are proceeding. They
are, however, meeting with stern re-
sistance; and the Serbians are giving
ground foot by foot. The extent of
the Bulgarian invasion, according TO
a Nish dispatch, consists of an adj
vance over the frontier at one point
of mile. With this exception, says
the report, the fighting line remains
intact and the railways have not been
reached.
1t is reported also that the allies
have begun a new offensive in the
Dardanelles. The Russ ans are con-
tinuing their attacks in Galicia in an
effort to clear the Austrians from the
Rumanian frontier and prevent them
from sending further reinforcements
against Serbia.
In fact there appears to be a gen
eral attack on all the German fronts.
The British and French, Berlin re-
lates, have attacked in Flanders and
Champagne, while the German Off
cial report of the campaign in Russia
Is a record Of counter attacks against
the Russians endeayoring to regain
the initiative.
Even the Belgian coast is not ex-
cepted, British monitors having again
bombarded German positions there.
British submarines in the Baltic have
sunk ten German ore carrying steam
ers and have completely paralyzed
the ore trade between Sweden and
Germany. This has caused some dis.
satisfaction Sin Sweden and it is
charged that two steamers were.
sunk within Swedish territorial
waters. But the British assert they
have been observing studiously inter
national law and have been sinking
only German steamers.

Candidates Well Bunched and
Running Neck and
Neck.
TO NOMINATE A CANDIDATES
Every Voter Will Have Two
Votes And Only
Two.

The results of the primary election
to be held to-day, between the hours
of 6 a. M, and A p. M. are in doubt
There are four nominations to bt
made for two offices of commission
er to be filled Nov. 2.
Each voter will be given a ballot
with nine names arranged alphabeti
cally to begin with but the order
changing every 80 names. There is
no device upon the ballot and the
illiterate voter is disfranchised un.
less taught or shown how to vote
without being able to read. OF the
nine candidates c. P. Ashby, N. A.
Barnett, DR.. F. H. Bassett, NJ. F.
Crenshaw. G. E. Dalton, r. H. Hol-
land and r. M, Woodbridge are Dem
ocrats and j. Sol Fritz and w. R.
Wicks are Republicans.
The contest has been made, so far
as known, on non-partisan lines.
There are 2,259 registered voters,
l 1922 white and 937 colored.
The probability is that rs per cent
of the votes will be cast, or approx
mately LOO. AS each voter has
two votes, the aggregate vote may
run as high as 3,400 to be cast for 8
candidates. This is an average of
367 votes to the candidate and it
would seem that 700 votes would in
sure a nomination and less than 500
may nominate if the candidates run
close together. The estimate gives
703 colored votes. 1t is conceded
that Wicks will get a majority of
these. Fritz has been fighting hard
for colored votes, both Bassett and
Woodbridge apparently having an
equally strong pull for them while
all the candidates expect to get some
colored votes. With 1,400 colored
votes to be divided up, no candidate
is likely to get enough to nominate
by these alone. OF the 9S2 white
votes likely to be cast it is claimed
by Hollands supporters that he
will get at least half. Bassett,
Crenshaw and Ashby are also claim
ing enough votes to be nominated.
Wooldrid &c and Fritz are hot con-
testants for the cOlored voters.
Fritz had a meeting at the Court
house last night and to offset this
Woodbridge had a meeting at Friend
ship Hall.
The outlook at this writing indi-
Gates that Holland and Wicks are
liable to be two of the nominees
with much uncertainty as to the
other two.
