In the hub-bub and hoorah ol
State politics, it il a difficult mat
ter TO arrive at the true facts re
garding State issues by the read
ing Of many of the newspapers
Of this district. The neutral pa
pers have wasted little energy on
the subject and those supporting
the various candidates are natur-
ally PARTISAN to a greater OF
less degree and are not modest
in villifying the opposition. The
issue in the Governors race il
clearly based on the liquor ques-
tion, and the fight is being made
by the temperance leaders to g
lect u candidate favoring State
wide prohibition. State wide
means the prohibiting Of both
sale and manufacture of intoxi-
eating liquors within the State.
Kentucky now has the local OPP
tion law, under which each coun-
ty is free to say whether or not
liquors may be sold within said
county. 1t is an Independent,
self-governing unit so far az the
liquor question is concerned.
Fully nine-tenths of the counties
have voted ON this. question and
have barred the sale Of liquor.
Hon. A. o. Stanley is opposed 70
Statewide and Hon. II. v. Nc
Chesney is the leader for the
Statewide forces. There are 9th
er candidates - McDermott and
Bosworth-but their chances seem
TO be for third and fourth place.
On this one issue the State politi.
cal battle is being waged. Both
McChesney and Stanley are Dem
ocrats and running subject TO the
August primary. To what ex-
tent the people Of Kentucky will
support the Statewide movement
will be known after August 7th.
Both sides confidentially expect
TO win, indicating a pretty close
finish. Each side accuses the
other of being supported by a
machine" In all probability,
both have such support. Nc

ton - and Stanley will not deny
that the brewers and saloon men
are friendly TO his candidacy. Oh.
lie James once said, when speak
ing of the Democratic organiza-
tion which won a sweeping vie
tory, "if this is a machine, give
us a bigger machine. F" So, accord
ing to Big Ollie, machines" are
necessary adjunct to the body
politic-and this gives both sides
about an even break, with the
pot calling the kettle black. We
believe the qualifications Of the
two candidates have not been
questioned. The whole, sole
question resolves itself into one
of Statewide or not Statewide.
The main argument advanced
against Statewide, boiled down,
is that by running out the saloons
and distilleries, we cut down the
State revenue around a million
dollars a year-and that this is
poor business in view of the
present deficit OF more than two
millions. And, finally, that Ken
tuckians will continue to get just
as much booze under the State
Wild propaganda as local option,
while other States will get our
distilleries with their big invest
ments, pay-rolls and revenue.
State-widers claim il would be
worth many times the revenue
they pay TO get rid of the liquor
business for all times. That

St4Ss-D,as Is Issue in Su6e,natoryal Race

Statewide is merely local option
on bigger scale, and that whis-
key interests are now supporting
local option as a "stall, " having
fought il hard when the local OPP
tion issue first came up. They
admit that local option doesn't
prohibit, but il helps; Statewide
will not prohibit, but il helps still
more; and that nationwide will
follow Statewide and then the
whiskey business will be 30 bad
ly crippled that its finish is in
evitable. In other words, destroy
il by degrees.
Today, IS per cent of the Unit
ed States is dry. Congress con
sidered seriously, in its last ses-
sion, submitting a nationwide a.
mendment. II was voted down
by small majority, but at the
rate political leaders are flop
ping over 10 the dry side, II will
only be a short time until the vets

national houses. In view OF

clue this will be national issue

Informing drugs.
III Statewide wins in Ken
lucky this year, even then State
wide proper is some distance off,
as Statewide constitutional
amendment can I be voted on un-
til Nov. 1917.
There you are.
The Courier has thus far taken
no active interest regarding this
issue. With a knowledge of the
experience of our neighboring
State of Tennessee with State
wide, there is a shadow of doubt
AS to the timeliness of this move
ment; there is a possibility of its
having been prematurely advanc-
ed. BE that as it may, the die is
cast, and We must take our pre-
liminary step August 7th. This
paper has always been ON the side
of temperance and never misses
a chance to swat the liquor traf-
fic. We are not opposed to
personal liberty" but as re-
CARDS liquor, our observation is
that il is generally the innocent
and dependent rather than the
consumer who suffers the ill con-
sequences Of drunkenness.
In this instance, it seems, the
temperance forces have all 10
gain and nothing TO lose by sup
porting Statewide. II they do
not succeed in electing a State
wide administration, they still
have local option and no ground
has been lost in the fight. But
State wide is only halfway
ground. II must be followed by
nationwide TO be really effective
and TO give the dry States
square deal from a commercial
aud financial point of view. A
few wet States would be merely
50 many oasises--liquor would
still come into dry territory at
the cost of lost revenue TO that
territory. But, we believe, the
liquor business today is on the
run-making its last stand. Ma
tion-wide is sure to follow, and
when it does, the great curse OF
the age will have been wiped
out. Ii the election of McChes-
ney will help TO purge the ma
tion, 10 put a quietus on drunk
enness, the debauchery and crime
the offspring of liquor--then by
all means, let's elect McChesney.
