Enemies of County Unit

Judge Humphrey, who is for county
unit but against State wide prohibition
sees in the possible combination of
Stanley for Governor and James P
Edwards, for president of the Senate a
menace TO the county unit law. Stanley
fought the county unit plank in 1911
platform convention and Judge Hum
phrey says;
I'm Kentucky we are certain to have
county unit or State wide. Any tamper-
ing with the one will certainly lead to the
other. 1t is not possible to convince the
conservative temperance Democrats of
Kentucky that the victory gained by
them in the passage of the county unit
is assured by putting into office those
who oppose it. 1t is not the mere pass
ing a law that affects results, the en-
forcement of it is the vital thing And,
however unjust people may be. still it
is well-nigh universal belief that the
friends rather than the opponents of a
measure are looked to in carrying ii
out.

For Lieutenant Governor.

Judge James d. Black is man of
character and standing, alawyer of abil-
ity, and his record on the bench is such
as to entitle him to the confidence of the
whole people
The Democratic party is fortunate in
having at its command such a candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. The position
is one Of first importance. Insofar as il
relates to the County Unit bill, 1t is a
matter of greater Importance than that
of the Governor.
The Democrats, therefore, owe it to
themselves, to their own record, to the
platform upon which they elected the
State officers four years ago, to name as
their candidate for Lieutenant Governor
man who has always stood for party
loyalty, for party principles. for home
rule and for the County Unit bill
Judge Black will add strength to the
ticket, both because of his personal quail
ties, his party record and his representa-
tive character as man from the noun
tains.-Louisville Post.

Look Them All Over

The liquor interests of Kentucky
claim to be in favor of the County Unit
laws of Kentucky because they know
the State is overwhelmingly dry and
that the people are itching for chance
TO vote it that way. Also, because the
present laws permit them to ship liquor
into dry countess No temperance man
should allow himself to be fooled into
voting for the candidates of the liquor
interests because they claim to be for
the county unit. Before you make
up your mind in the Governors race

its of all the candidates and find who

to about two million dollars for the
same period. Should the courts up
hold the action of the board in regard
to the four railroad companies, it
would add about one million dollars
more to the state, and about two mil
lion dollars more to the counties,
same four years.
No man has had more to do with
this great work than Tom Rhea, and
no man now seeking a nomination for
state office is better prepared than
he to render useful and valuable serv-
ice to the state and to the people in
the next four years. No, other man
seeking this Office has ever had the
slightest experience with its duties.
Some of his enemies. at the beginning
of this campaign, undertook to crit
icise him and his record as an official,
but they had to quickly abandon such
attacks, because the published facts
clearly disproVed their misrepresenta-
lions. In the next administration, Mr.
Rhea would prove himself tower of
OF its revenues and fiscal affairs.
AS a Democrat and party worker,
there is not a blot upon his. record.
Four years ago, when he was on the
state ticket as the nominee for Treas
prer, he added great strength to the
ticket, as was shown by the increased
majority of $500 given in his judicial
district alone. Last fall, in the Sem
atorial and Congressional races, he
was chosen by the Democratic State
Committee as Campaign Chairman,
and under his intelligent and success
full management and organization, the
Democratic majority in the state was
increased to $4,000
Tom Rhea has always been true to
the party and its nominees. He has
never bolted nor sulked when things
did not go his way in primaries or con-
ventfons The Democratic party in the
campaign this fall needs him upon the
ticket. No other man can give it
greater strength or do more to insure
its success in the November election.
He is man Of pleasing and attractive
personality, free from malice, kind,
considerate to all, a temperate and a
temperance man, never having touched
drink of alcoholic liquor in all his
life, and, all in all, he is a man worthy
in the highest degree of the confidence
and support of all good citizens.
The Democrats of the state could not
find better man to nominate for any
office than Tom Rhea, and, If the signs
indicate anything, he will be the NOM

COMPLETE ANSWER
To Argument That Prohibition Does Not
Prohibit as Seen by Golfers Weekly.

According TO the wall Street Jour
nap' of New York City: Production of
whiskey in Kentucky in January was
1850, 900 gallons, against 6,1o2, 452 gal
ions in January, 1914; production in
Pennsylvania was lob, sos gallons in
January. against ], 80, 445 gallons year
ago, and in Maryland JO6, 919 gallons,
against 9ts. 5o2 last year. Whiskey bot
tied in bond in January. was 619, sos gal
Ions, compared with 92S, 1877 in January
1914.
The decrease in Kentucky's produc-
ton of whiskey amounts to GO 2-3 per
cent; in Pennsylvania it is about 80 p r
cent; in Maryland more than 40 per
cent. These figures (and others for Feb
ruary, March, and other months, more
recently available) indicate that the DIS
tillers, who can look ahead like anyone
else, see that within few years the
commercial demand for whiskey viii
fall off at unprecedented speed The
distlllers are buying newspaper space in
more than one City to argue that probi-
bition doesn't prohibit-thaL more liquor
than ever is being drunk in this country;
but this is bluff They are meanwhile
curtailing production and quietly dis
counting their own funeral. Better
times are ahead for the United States

Forward Step.

There is strong sentiment among
Kentuckians 10 take another step for
ward concerning the liquor question,
and the liquor interests are naturally
trying to head it off. This same inter
est made a desperate effort four years
ago TO prevent the Democratic party
putting a temperance plank in its plat
form; but the people were SO insistent
that the plank went in, and as a result
the Democratic party went into power
by the largest majority of recent years.
If the party is bulldozed into back
tracking the times, it will be guilty of
cowardice, and will deserve to be re-
buked at the polls-Pembroke Journal.

SANKEY'S Boast.

Mr.. Stanley has been making much OF
his boast that he ''shucked his coat"
and made campaign speeches for Beck
ham last fall. He says that he made
more speeches for ,Beckham than any
one else. The truth OF the matter is
that Stanley made only FIVE speeches
for Beckham and these were of such a
nature that he aroused no enthusiasm at
all. He spoke at Carrollton, Newport.
Henderson, Owensboro, and Shepherds
VILE At each of these places Beckham
ran behind the ticket. If Mr. Stanley
had not been called off the speakers
list he might have-succeeded in cutting
down Beckham's majority. This is but
another of the specious claims Stanley
is making. But the people are learning

It is natural and proper that the
Democrats of Kentucky should take a
deep interest In the selection of their
candidate for Governor on August z,
but they should not allow that race
to overshadow all others and cause
them to neglect or overlook other i'm
portant races. Especially should they
give their attention to the Auditors
race, for that position ranks in i'm
portance next to that of Governor
The Auditor is the head of the fiscal
affairs OF the state and the head of
the important Board of Franchise AS
sessments which fixes the franchise
valuations upon which all corporations
doing business in the state must pay
taxes. The work of that board is of
far-reaching importance to the people,
and, above all others, the Auditor, who
presides as chairman of the board,
should be man well equipped and
trained for its difficult duties, and one
who is incorruptibfe and fearless,
ready to compel the corporations to
pay their just part of the revenues Of
the state, without being unjust to any
corporation or persons.
