WARNED

The Louisville Times has warned
the party authorities that grave dan
ger confronts the ticket to be nomi-
mated in August, but it appears that
those charged with authority consider
the Times either an interloper or an
ignoramus. To say the least of it,
the example sighted by the paper is
a concrete and lasting one, and
stranger things have happened than
that history repeats itself,
By all the rules of right and rea-
son the request made by the Times
for a platform convention before the
primary is sensible and just re-
quest. and concerns those of whom
the request is made in the same pro-
portion that it concerns the humblest
Democratic voter in Kentucky.
1t goes without saying that the
ticket nominated will have the I'M
divided and constant support of The
Favorite, whether the platform is
made before or after the primary,
but one vote will not elect a ticket.
and thousands of men all over the
State decline to be forced when elec-
ton day comes.
The Democratic party has long
been dominant in Kentucky deserves
TO rule and iikewise.to lead. For
these reasons the State press. by a
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-03-13

large majority. has joined with the
Louisville Times in a petition to those
clothed with temporary authority to
call convention for the purpose OF
giving the people working idea OF
what to expect from the Democratic
party.
With the advent of the sixth aspi-
rant for the Gubernatorial honor,
there becomes among the contestants
a divergence of individual opinions,
regarding platform, as widely sep
arated as the poles. There are many
important issues which demand the
attention of the next administration,
and no division should come into the
ranks of the party, at this time. so
as to eliminate all legislation save
that of Statewide.
1t has been the history of post
primary platform conventions that
the head of the ticket forces his ideas
upon the convention. In the present
race for Governor the winner per-
haps will not receive more than one
fifth of the total vote cast. thus
practically eliminating the other
four.fifths Of the Democrats in the
State from any voice in the matter.
A platform not in accordance with
the ideas of the nominees were bet
ter not formulated. "a,
On the other hand, a pre- primary
convention affords all Democrats an
opportunity to, participate in draft
ing platform not inconsistent with
legitimate business and the present
needs of the State government. Then
at the primary the Democrats may
select a candidate in accord with the
platform pledges.
But there is no reason to hope
that the petition of the press will
receive the slightest consideration.

Canon City high school building last
Saturday night between teams rep
resenting the Leadville and Rocky

its coach; and Mr.. and Mrs. o. j.
Baxter.
The debate was a splendid one and
strong. forceful and well presented
argument was made by each disprt-
ant. That the debaters on each side
had made careful, conscientious
preparation for the discussion was
evidenced by the great array OF facts
and figures presented IN support OF
their contention and the graceful, ef-
fectiye manner OF their delivery.
The Rocky Ford team, which was
given the choice OF sides. affirmed
the necessity for an increase OF the
national armament; Leadville deny
ing the proposition. It was expected
that each Of the debaters would be
given twelve minutes for the presen-
tation OF his argument. but the time
was cut down to eight minutes. after
their arrival here, which proved to be
something Of q handicap, although
mutual in its disadvantages.
The debaters were a fine lot Of
young people and Canon City con-
siders itself honored that they should
come here to settle their rivalry in
the field cf forensic discussion. They
came here In order that the expense
incident to the meeting might be ey-
emily divided and that the contest

ed House bill 361, introduced into
the legislature by Representative
Hugh Taylor. creating the Colorado

charge OF the state insane asylum at
Pueblo, the state penitentiary at Can

Buena Vista and abolishing the two
boards which. at present, are In con-
troll Of the institutions.
The new body is to consist OF three
members. who are to be paid 81 200

POPULAR MOTION PIC
TURE STAR GOT HER
START IN CANON CITY

Mrs. Marshall P. Stedman, known
to the motion picture world as Miss
Myrtle Stedman, who got her start
as leading lady for the local COM
pany of The Selig Polyscope company
few years ago, has been declared
by many as the most popular actress
IN the film world. She is at present
playing with Bosworth Inc, who is
associated with the Oliver Morosco
Photoplay company of New York and
Los Angeles.
The Paramount Magazine. motion
picture periodical has the following
to say of Miss Stedman;
Miss Myrtle Stedman won by a
large plurality the contest recently
conducted by the Augusta Chronicle
of Augusta, Georgia. The contest
was an open-for-all affair, in which
readers of the Chronicle showed their
preference by votes. In competition
with every screen actress of any
prominence Miss Stedman's right to
the title of Augusta's favorite was
never in doubt.
In New York City Miss Stedman
won the second contest conducted by
The Morning Telegraph to determine
the most popular motion picture star.
Here also the competition was open
to all and the competitors included
every actor and actress of any i'm
portance in motion pictures. Yet, as
in Atlanta, Miss stedman won by a
very large plurality"

the cyanide process.
Another cyanide mill that has been
contemplated but the construction Of

NEW POLITICAL
ERA IN CHICAGO

Chicago. April 26.-Elected mayor
of Chicago by the greatest plurality
ever given, mayor candidate In the
Windy City, william Hale Thompson
tonight will be formerly inaugurated
head OF Americas second largest city.
Retiring Mayor Carter H. Harrison,
was to welcome hie successor and con
duct the simple but impressive cere-
monies.
Thompson enters into his duties
with several radical and unique poll
cies in regard to alieviation OF the
unemployment problem conduct Of
the city's affairs. and police welfare
on crime and criminals.
Perhaps the most unique policy the
new mayor has declared for is his
planned fight against unemployment
1t is his expressed plan to have the
council vote a sum sufficient to give
every patrolmaD on the street a dol
lar bill. This dollar is to be given.
at the policeman's discretion. to men
or women out OF work. whom the po-
iiceman knows to be deserving.
Thompson's theory Is that the police
man is closer to the average citizen
than all the charity Organization
agents In the world and Is thereby
the one TO do such work. When this
dollar is expended, 1t will be replaced.
j As to the business side OF conduct
ing the affairs OF the fourth city in
the world. Thompson has declared
he win endeayor. wherever possible.
to surround himself with successful
business men. large or small. who
Will be willing 10 emulate his ex-
ample and give mp four years of their
lives to work Of the city.
Mayor Thompson has strong opin-
ions regarding chieago,s crime situ-
alton. He has not yet gone into de-
tail as to what his remedies for the
wholesale robberies. street hold-ups.
etc. will he. but he has said that
crime and immortality can and must
be checked By an honest and efficient
police force He intimated that he
would Try to get as chief OF police
man regardless OF political affiiia
tion. who can be absolutely fearless
IN uphoiding the laws.
