NEWMAN WITHDRAWS FROM
GOVERNORS RACE.

Frankfort, KY, June %, 1915.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence 1.-The with
drawal of Commissioner of Agriculture
j. W. Newman from the race for Gov
.erner was somewhat of a surprise to
many, although it was conceded that
Harry McChesney, backed as he is by
the Anti-Saloon League and General
Percy Haley, had much the larger fol-
lowing among the extra drys," as Mr..
Newman expresses it. Evidently Mr..
Newman realized that he could not
make much Roadway as state-wider
against the candidate selected by DR..
Palmer, the Anti-Saloon League super
intendent, and o. KID by Senator
Beckham and General Haley.
Although Mr.. Newman was the first
candidate to announce for Governor
on a statewide prohibition platform,
and had the endorsement of the w. G.
T. U, the pioneer temperance organi-
cation of the state, the powers that
were to direct the campaign did not
look with favor on his candidacy. Mr..
McChesney was selected as the stand
ard bearer of the prohibitionists. His
headquarters are busy, with large
force of clerks, and ample funds to
make an aggressive campaign.
In his card of withdrawal Mr.. New
man says he has canvassed and
spoken in more than forty counties,
and has concluded that there are only
TWO candidates for Governor who are
seriously considered in the race.
Though he did not mention names, it
is conceded that he meant Stanley and
McChesney. Furthermore, he says the
Democratic party is facing a crisis
that may endanger its success, unless
harmony is restored and all unite for
victory in November, which he pledges
himself to aid in accomplishing. The

STANLEY SPEAKS TO RECORD
BREAKING CROWDS IN THE
THIRD DISTRICT.

Franklin, KY, June 26, 1915.-Spe-
cial Correspondence.)-Hon. A. o.
Stanley finished the busiest week of
his campaign to-day at this place,
speaking to the largest crowd that
has attended a political speaking in
this county in years, estimated at 81
600 to 5000. Enthusiasm was unbound
ed, and, to all appearance, Stanley
men we're the only kind of Democrats
in Simpson county.
Mr.. Stanley began the weeks cam
paign at Glasgow, where a record
breaking attendance greeted him. 1t
was the largest crowd that has been in
Glasgow since the Civil War. Prac-
tically everybody seemed to be for
Stanley.
From Glasgow, Mr.. Stanley went to
Edmonton, Metcalfe county; Browns
vile, Edmonton county, and Scots
vile, Allen county. Everywhere the
attendance was larger than the court
houses could accommodate, and win
dows- and standing room were occu-
pied by eager Democrats, notwith-
standing the fact that the farmers are
behind with their work and in the mid
die of their harvests.
The mastery appeals Mr.. Stanley is
making to the people to stand by Pres
ident Wilson in his splendid leader
ship of the party is received most en-
( Enthusiastically. 1t is apparent every
where that the people want a business
administration, with such a revision
of the tax laws as will enable the state
to pay off the $2,000,000 state debt,
without laying any heavier tax burden
upon the farms, live stock and other
tangible property that now pays the
expense of government. Millions upon
millions of property that escapes as
sessment and pays no taxes must"be
put upon the tax duplicate and made
to pay its share of the taxes necessary
to pay off the state debt, build good
roads throughout the state, and i'm
prove the school system by having
longer terms in the country and better
paid teachers.
The County Unit Law, passed by the
last legislature, meets the approval of
the people. They do not want to ex-
pertinent with statewide prohibition,
when under the County Unit system
every county can vote out the saloons
any time a majority of the people
want to do so. The taxpayers do not
want to destroy the $100,000,000 OF
taxable property in the state that is
paying nearly a million dollars year
in taxes, and place upon the farms,
factories, live stock and other prop
erty, already too heavily taxed, that
additional burden, which would be
necessary if statewide prohibition
were adopted.
The slogan, Stand by the President
and the Democratic platforms, state
and national, upon which the party
has won its greatest victories" meets
the hearty approval of the people.

MeDERMoTT's sPEAKINes.

Paducah, KY, June 26, 1915.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence - Lieutenant
Governor E. ]. McDermott spoke here
Thursday afternoon to about $50 peo-
pie. There were present number of
Prohibitionists and Republicans, and
several Stanley supporters, all OF
whom, regardless of their choice for
Governor, honor and respect Mr.. Nc
Dermott.
The address was characteristic Of
she speaker-eloquent and outspoken
on the issues he deems paramount in
Kentucky to-day.
AS in his previous speeches, Mr.. Nc
Dermott gave his reasons for opposing
statewide prohibition. He served in
the Constitutional Convention and
helped place in the constitution the
provision that enables each county to
be a self-goVernipg unit, without in
Serference from outside counties. In
the last session of the legislature,
was passed making the constitutional
provision fully effective, Mr.. McDer-
mott stood for the Jeffersonian fun
damental democratic doctrine that
people can govern themselves on such
matters better than outsiders can gov
eern them.
In this he agrees with his opponent,
Mr.. A. o. Stanley, that statewide pro-
hibition is not an effective temperance
measure, but, on the contrary, would
take away, without the consent of the
governed, that most sacred right OF a
free people to regulate for themselves,
within their own county, moral and
social affairs, such as the license or
prohibition of saloons. He maintains
that whenever the people Of county,
whose elected officers must enforce
the law, If it is to be effective, want
to abolish saloons, they can do so
under the County Unit Law; and that
that prohibition thus obtained will be
exactly what the people want. If state
wide prohibition is forced upon the un-
willing people of any county, neither
they nor the officers they elect will
obey or enforce the Objectionable law.
Such contempt of law is hurtful to the
character of the citizenship, and tends
60 cause disrespect for other laws.
From Paducah, Mr.. McDermott went
90 Marion, Sturgis and Morganfield,
where he addressed rather small audi
ssnces, owing to the fact that farmers
are busy with their crops.

KENTUCKY POLITICAL NEWS.
Leading Facts Of the
Past Week

Governor, down TO the boys in the
trenches who hope to get jobs under
a Republican administration.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Newman declares,
like the good Democrat he is, "The
Democrats will continue in power in
Kentucky, and indicate to the world
that Kentucky Is behind the National
Democratic administration, and in line
for the presidential election in 1916"
Some say that Mr.. Newman feels
that President Wilson's opinion that
local option, and not statewide prohi-
bition, is the proper method of con-
trolling the liquor question, meets the
annroval Of Kentucky Democrats, who
are enthusiastically behind the Presi-
dent in all his great policies.
Mr.. Newman is a Democrat of the
truest type, and as Commissioner of
Agriculture has. accomplished greater
results for the development of the
farming interests of the state than all
his predecessors combined. He is a
tireless, fearless worker, and has done
things worth while since he has been
in Office.

MORROW ADDRESSES A BIG
CROWD AT SHELBYVILLE.

Shelbyville, KY, June %, 1915 (Spe-
cial Correspondence).-In the rock
ribbed Democratic stronghold of Shell
By, the Hon. Edwin P. Morrow had
very large attendance to hear him
speak last Tuesday evening. Demo
Gratis and Republicans, as we'll as
many ladies, turned out to hear him.
It was noted that, although Mr.. Nor
row spoke at night, he had a larger
crowd than Mr.. McChesney had a
week before, on County Court day.
Ed Morrow, as he is Familiarity
called by everybody, is a most attrac-
tive speaker, and off the platform is
the best handshaker, and wears the
happiest smile of any man in Ken
lucky, and if the Democrats make
any serious mistake in choosing their
candidate for governor, many Demo
crat will hear Morrow's eloquent voice
and feel the magnetic persuasion OF
his cordial hand when they go into the
booth on November election day.
After the speaking, number of
Democrats, and ardent temperance
men, met Mr.. Morrow, and told him
that they agreed with him on the liQ-
Quor question. believing that the Coun-

ty Unit law was all that is needed to
Danish the saloon from any county
where a majority of the people are
opposed to them. The recent wet and
dry election in Shelby county proved
to them that statewide prohibition Is
not necessary, for they voted out sa-
looms, and the county is now as dry as
a powder horn. At the same time
they do not want to destroy the vast
distilling properties in the state that
pay nearly a million dollars in taxes,
for if they do, they we'll know that
other property, already heavily taxed,
will have to take up that burden in
addition to what they now carry, and
that without accomplishing anything
for real temperance.
With a state treasury already over
two million dollars in debt, the tax
payers do not fancy adding another
million on account of statewide pro-
hibition, for they know they will have
the whole thing to pay in the end,
while the Office seekers who are
riding the prohibition issue can take
it easy. The bankrupt neighboring
states of West Virginia and Tennes-
see, each with a debt of twelve mil
lion dollars and statewide prohibition,
are warning danger signals to thought
full people.

JAMES p. EDWARDS
ANNOUNCES FOR LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR.

Louisville, KY, June %, 1915.-(Spe-
cial COrrespondence)-Hon. James P.
Edwards, of jefferson County, one of
the most prominent lawyers in the
state, has announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Lieutenant Governor. His platform is,
briefly, better schools, improved pub
lie highways, economy in state affairs,
adjustment of unnecessary expensive
offices, revision of tax laws so as to
relieve overtaxed properties and taxa
ton of such property as now avoids
taxation, favors the present County
Unit Law for regulation of the liquor
traffic as passed by the legislature in
compliance with the Democratic plat
form of 1911, which is the fundamental
law of the party, and opposes State
wide prohibition as unnecessary as a
temperance measure, a menace to the
overburdened taxpayers, and contrary
to both the National and State plat
forms of the party.
Mr. Edwards was a candidate for
Lieutenant Governor in 1911, and was
defeated by Mr.. Edward J. McDermott,
the present Lieutenant Governor, now
a candidate for Governor, by a plu-
rality of 1862 votes in the State,
though Mr.. Edwards carried Jefferson
County over Mr.. McDermott by over
5000.
Judge Edwards is a giant physically,
being several inches over six feet tall,
is a forceful public speaker, man
| always with the courage of his convic-
tons, and loyal to his sense of duty
| in both private and public life.

AS health talks to women become

The most important thing that a
