Fires a BrOadSide Into His
Ancient Enemies and The
Frankfort Ring.
MAKE VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Woods Will Be Full of Candi-
dates For Governor With
Stanley Against The Field.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 1S.-In a.
Washington interview Congress-
man A. o. Stanley formally an
nounced his candidacy for the dem
ocratic gubernatorial nomination.
He fires several broadsides at his po-
litical enemies and at persons he
terms the enemies of Kentucky"
He lays special stress on the state
ment that Kentucky is boss-ridden
and declares the people have reached
that state of mind where they intend
to rise up and strike off the shackles.
General Percy Haly and Sam Shackle-
ford, well-known Beckham support
ers, are singled out for attack.
Stanley bluntly charges that lobbying
of these two men has been RESPONSE
BILE for the enactment of legislation
detrimental to the many people Of
the commonwealth and in the inter
est of the few.
Another broadside is directed
against what he terms public Office
trust, which he charges has sprung
up in the last few years. He says
that few men, in the recent cam
paigns, have controlled the party's
machinery and dictated nominations
at will. Rotation in office of a
favored few has become all but per
petual and he intends to do his ut
most to break up the ring"
| Stan.ey's friends assert he intends
to make the vigorous campaign Of
his career.
Other announced candidates for
the democratic nomination in the
governors race include ire follow
ing: Lieut.. E. J. McDermOtt.
Louisville. Henry M. Bosworth,-
state auditor, Frankfort; j. w. New
man. commissioner of agriculture,
Versailles H. H Cherry, Bowling
Green; and Judge j. H. Hazelrigg.
Frankfort. Gossip has it that At
torney-general James Garnett of
Columbia intends to announce for
the nomination and that Percy
Haly may also be a contender.
Haly is the dark horse" so much
discussed.
On the Republican side of the
fence Edward Morrow, of Somer-
set, nephew of the late United
States Senator w. 0. Bradley, is the
most talked of man for the nomi-
nation He may get the prize with
out opposition. The Bull Moosers7
appear to have vanished as a party
and there is little likelihood of their
putting up a fight for primary
honors. The most of them scorn
the invitation to return to the re-
publican fold and intend to lineup.

Hopkinsville Like London.

Not even the oldest inhabitant re
members such a dense fog in this
region as the one that settled like
a blanket on Hopkinsville Thursday
night. 1t began to appear early in
the evening and by 10 o'clock was so
heavy down town that it obscured
the street lights and rivaled the fogs
of London.

.ITALY'S EARTHQUAKE.

Detailed reports received in Rome
regarding Italy's earthquake in
crease the appalling list of dead and
the enormous property loss. The
number of dead and injured in the
Abruzzi alone is 10000. while the
numker of bodies under the debris
at Avezzano is 1900. From the
ruins Of the latter place eighteen
persons were taken out Saturday,
still alive after three days had
elapsed. Tremors have not ceased
At Sora, where cold rains have added
% the suffering.

Once More, But French Ad-

RUSSIANS MAKE GAINS EAST.
Germans Say French Lost TO-.
600 Men In Recent Battle
of Scissors.

London, Jan. While the main
Russian army has been busy repell-
ing what Grand Duke Nicholas in
his official report describes as a series
of violent attacks by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to break his way
through to Warsaw, other Russian
forces have stormed and taken Kirl-
ibaba pass on the borders of Transyl-
vania, and have made further pro-
gress in their advance along the
right bank of the Vistula toward the
German frontier.
The Germans in force have deliver
ed seven successive attacks, which
developed desperate bayonet fight
ing, on the Russian lines on the left
bank of the Vistula, and have sue
ceeded in taking one of the Russian
advance trenches.
Further south there have been
similar attacks, in each case preced.
ed by heavy artillery engagements.
The Russians have succeeded in
silencing the heavy Austrian guns,
which from the banks of the Duna.
jec have been bombarding the towr
of Tarnow.
The capture of Kirlibaba pass,
through which roads lead into thu
heart of Pennsylvania, is likely Il
have political as we'll as a militar,
effect. 1t possibly will hasten tn
action of Rumania and compel tn
Germanic allies to send troops t
defend eastern Hungary.
In the west there has been brisl
fighting at many points. The French
claim further progress along the
coast of Flanders, but not to the ex
tent indicated by the unofficial re-
ports. Attacks and counter-attacks
have prevailed in the region of Arras
and in the Aisne valley, south OF
Laon, but apparently without either
side making any important gains.
The French progress at Rheims
and in the Vosges, however, contin-
ues despite heavy snowstorm, ac-
cording to official claims. In the
Argonne the Germans claim to have
improved their position. An official
German statement estimates the
allies losses since they commenced
their offensive four weeks ago at
$4,000, including 10000 killed and
more than 1000 prisoners.
An interesting account from Ger
man sources of the battle north of
Scissors says the French defeat was
the result of a surprise attack.
While the French expected an attack
on their left the Germans attacked
on the right and center and drove
the French completely out of posi-
tons north of the Aisne which it had
taken them month to capture.

Crop Of Small Grains Wa 4 Record

The 1915 crops of North Dakota
are more above the average in yield
than the crops Of any other state in
the Union. The figures sent out by
the Bureau Of Crop Estimates show
that the North Dakota 1916 yield /.
1877 1-3 per cent as compared to the
average yield, or 81 1-3 per cent
above the average. South Dakota
comes next, 1877 1-5 per cent. The
third in the list is Nebraska with
1875 2-5 per cent. For the United
States the percentage is 1O7 2-5 per
cent. This is rather a remarkable
percentage when it is considered that
all crops are included. The per cent
would be higher yet for North Dakota
If 1t was not for the corn crop, which
pulls it down some.
The 1915 wheat crop for North

LANE SAW TORPEDO

Preston Smith, in conversation with
a newspaper reporter, stated that
George Lane, another member Of the
Welsh choir, saw the torpedo which
struck the Lusitania travelling through
the water before the fatal crash came
and as soon as he felt the shock, knew
that the vessel was no doubt doomed.
Other persons on board the steamer
are said to have seen the lrrisco,e of
the submarine which fired the torpedo,
travelling through the water. Nh
Lane was smothcrcd in flying chips
Of wood and debris when tn, cxplo-
sion occurred, but managed to extri-
cate himself and was saved
Mr.. Lane when asked whether
there was lack of life belts on
board the vessel, stated that there
were plenty to be had, but on account
of the list of the boat it was an impos-
sibility to secure them from the lower
decks.
He came very nearly going to the
bottom on board the great steamer
He stood on the stern OF the vessel
and watched the bow OF the vessel
gradually plunge downward, and did
not jump into the sea until the second
steamer funnel snapped of.

THE LORD NOT IN 1T.
The Centralia Guard last wee

The Centralia Guard last week
commented as follows:
Ed. w. H. Hook, formerly of Mex
leo, but now of Hunter, Mo-, in writ
ing to the Mexico Message to express
his disapproval of w. j. Bryan's
resignation as Secretary of State,
says: God Almighty wants peace as
badly as w. ]. Bryan"
A statement like this comes to us
as a shock, after having sat for many
an hour upon hard bench hearing of
the omniscience and the allpervading
power of God; to be told that He
wants peace and cannot stop little
batch of puppet kings from killing off
their fool subjects. If, however, as
this minister seems to infer, Mr.. Bry-
an had the situation better in hand
than God Almighty he certainly
should have kept his office if the
President had even gone so far as to
make him black boots.
The one man who can bring peace
to the world doesn't seem to yet be
in evidence, but this constant drag
ging of God into the war is a de-
light to the atheist and the skeptic,
and the ministers or others who do
this are making it appear that, as In
gersoll once said ,"If there is God
He has never taken any interest in
his people since creation, but has al
lowed them to go about as they
please"
This war appears to us as purely
human affair, and despite the bless
ings of the Pope we don't believe God
is in the war with Italy in her land
grabbing endeavors, any more than
he is in hand with Bill the Kaiser
Fact of the business is, we don't
think the Creator ever went into a
war, and we can't bring ourself to
believe he helped to kill off the emf
mics ofthe ancient Hebrew nations
Natures economy doesn't seem to
call for war and murder for profit
and power; that is a purely selfish
human institution.
