votes to their candidate. the McChes-
ney men are trs ing to start a stampede
to Mr.. McDermott. Now everyone
who has taken any interest in the cam
paign or has made inquiries about the
result knows full well that the race is
between Stanley and McChesney, with
McDermott and BOsworth dividing the
few remaining votes. Then the Nc
Chesney men start the claim through
the Louisville Post. which claims to be
supporting McDermott, that the bottom
has fallen out of the Stanley boom and
that the only chance that the anti-State
wide men have is to nominate McDer-
mott. Anyone with a sane mind can
see through scheme from the mere
fact that it is the McChesney men who
are making the fight for McDermott.
So called Democrats are trying to d.
vide the issue instead of letting the
leaders. who are making the race on
seperate platforms, fight it out at the
polls. Did you notice the number of
McChesney men sitting way down in
'front.' at the McDermott speaking?

is alleged was perpetrated on bank in
Butler county, Missouri, not long ago
Mr. VIM few days ago received a
request that his photograph be sent "a

years ago Mr.. VIM purchased farm
of 100 acres in Cass county, Missouri, a
few miles from Pleasant Hill. Since
that time the farm has grown in value.
A few days ago Mr.. Vim received a
letter from the Butler county bank re.
questing him to forward the interest on
a loan of So, 500, which the bank, much
TO his surprise, informed him he had
borrowed. At the same time he receiv-
ed a letter from the County Clerk notify
ing him that his mortgage on the place
had been duly filed. Having borrowed
no money on the land, Mr.. VIM be-
leved mistake had been made and
Immediately wrote to the clerk. giving
description of his land. He then
learned that his land had been mortgag-

about year ago, and Mr..
VIM has just learned il. He intends

Candidates tor Governors;

of the state is sadly off. former Cor.-
gresham Augustus Owsley Stanley, Of
Henderson, will be the Democratic

A compilation Of figures from 81 of
the 100 county shows Stanley to have

Col. w. z. Walton, candidate for
Secretary of State, is entirely worthy
of the enthusiastic support he is receiv-
ing from the democrats of Garrard
County. For many years he was editor
of the Interior Journal and during all
that time worked faithfully for the
democratic party. He has never be-
fore asked any assistance or favor from
the democrats of Kentucky, and if
there is any man in the State who is
entitled to a consideration from the
organization it is W. p. Walton. He
is not only good democrat who has
served his party well So long, but he is
the best qualified man for Secretary of
State. We think. of all the candidates
who are seeking that nomination.

In the closing days of the campaign
it is but natural that the supporters of
the various candidates for Governor all
are claiming that their candidate is a
probable winner.
But it is very PLAN and evident to all
those who have kept in touch with the
political drift and sentiment that the
race is now between Stanley and Me
Chesney. McDermott and Bosworth
will receive a small support in various
parts Of the State, but neither have
sufficient support for democrats to take
their candidacy seriously. 1t is up to
the democrats of the State to say
whether they want McChesney upon a
statewide prohibition platform or
Stanley upon the County Unit platform.
Only few years ago there were
about one hundred prohibitionists in
Garrard County who voted the prohibit
tion ticket Those voters all have now
deserted the prohibition party and have
concentrated their efforts to load on the
democratic party this prohibition plank.
There is no question that could be in
jected INTO politics that is more sus
ceptble Of destroying party organiza-
ton than the statewide prohibition.
There will be two classes of demo-
Gratis voting in this primary; one. who
would destroy the democratic party in
order to promote statewide prohibition.
another, who would preserve the demo-
cratic organization and give state wide
prohibition to the people when the peo-
pie are ready for that issue. We,
therefore. think that the democrats of
Garrard County and State Of Kentucky
ought to vote against Mr.. McChesney
and support Hon. A. o. Stanley.

The crux OF the situation is simply that
the voters are not in favor of political
prohibition" if they are in favor Of
statewide prohibition at all.
An estimator writes that Morgan

but not through McChesney." After
saying that the miners will vote for
Stanley, Harlan County forecast says:
IF the issues were put to the voters,
this county would be for statewide
prohibition. " An estimator who saws

prohibition submitted to the people CAL
loway County will be Overwhelmingly
for it, ;" give McChesney only 100 more
votes than Stanley. FLOYD County,
which comes in from two estimators as
about evenly divided as to Stanley and
MeChesney is declared by one of the
tgure-makers to be "sold for state
wide prohibition. Scott County will

question of state wide prohibition. It
Is the same in Graves County and

the gubernatiorial nomination:
In Kenton County Stanley will get
rot less than 1000 votes. McDermott
ray get about half that may and Bos.
worth and McChesney divide what is
left In Campbell County, Stanley will
get half the votes polled, with McDer-
mott second aand the few remaining
divided between Bosworth and McChes-
ney. In Boone County, Stanley will be
first; Bosworth and McChesney close
for second and McDermotta bad fourth
In Grant County Stanley will be a big
first; McChesney and Bosworth close for
second and McDermott a poor fourth.
In Gallatin County, Stanley will have
small lead over McChesney, with Bos-
worth and MeDermott third and fourth
respectively. la Pendleton County
Stanley will be first, with Bosworth and
McChesney fighting for second place
and McDermOtt fourth. Ii will be the
same in Carroll County, though
Stanley's head will not be 50 large as in
Pendeton. Trimple County presents
double situation, but a majority of
the votes appear to be favoring Stanley.
though McChesney may carry it. Bos-
worth and McDermott will divide few
votes"
Stanley put in the week with telling
effect in Western Kentucky. At every
point he was greeted with big crowds
and tremendous ovstions. Monday
Stanley will speak at Owenton. where
il is sand he will have the largest
gathering Of his campaign in the
