VICTORIOUS RUSS
STILL SWEEP ON
Won Hindenberg Declares Of
fensive Impossible Without
100000 Additional Men.

tby the international news SERVICE
London. July 9.-Two heavy blows were
delivered against the Teutonic battle
front in the east yesterday by the Rus
SLAMS.
The first was the capture of two i'm
portant villages in the drive on Kovel.
The second was the capture of Delatyn,
an important railway junction through
which the Austrians had supplied their
armies at Stanislau and Tarnopol, pro-
tecting Lemberg. Several days ago Rus
sian troops cut the Delatyn railroad west
of Kolomea, but not until yesterday did
they occupy the junction city.
Heavy fighting continues between the
Stokhod and the Styr rivers. Petrograd
officially announces today that the Teu-
tons are retiring in great disorder on the
lower Stokhod where the Cars troops
took 1900 unwounded prisoners, includ-
ing 300 officers between July and Z.
Forty-five guns of heavy and small cal
iber and forty-fve machine guns also
were captured
Kovel Is Keynote.
BY the capture of the villages of
Goulevitchi and Kachova- the Russians
have further imperilled the German hold
on Kovel In the event koVel falls' mill
tary experts declare the Germans will be
forced to retire on the entire front north
east to Baronovichi, in order to straighten
out their lines.
II Germany is to hold the invaded
parts of Poland and Lithuania, it is
essential for her to keep Baronovichi and
Kovel. The fall of Kovel would force
the retirement of Gen. Won Lisengen from
the Lutsk salient.
The loss of Kovel, it is also stated
might even result in a German general
retirement from that point all the way
to Riga on the Baltic.
1t is reported that at recent councii
of Austrian and German marshans that
Won Hindenburg announced it would
be impossible to launch a new offensive
on a large scale unless the Teutonic lines
are stiffened with at least 10000 fresh
troops.

DemOcracy'S Cause

The cause of the Democratic
party in this campaign should APP
peal not only to Democrats, but to
all good citizens in our land. The
great mass of the people, who take
no active part in politics, are not
interested in the mere victory of
one party over another, but they
should be deeply interested in the
proper administration of their pub
lie affairs and in the cause of good
government. They should reward
that party, or those men, who have
well and faithfully served them.
They should look upon such mat
tiers not as partisans, but as pa
triots. If this Democratic admin
istration has made the excellent
record which many believe it has,
then it is entitled to the overwhelm-
ing endorsement of the American
people. 1t should be continued in
power, not so much as an endorse
ment of what it has done, but be-
cause what it has done has shown
it to be superior to its rival in ca
pacity and purpose for further
good service to the people.

A Successful Administration
The sober and impartial iudg-
ment of a large majority of the in
telligent and patriotic people of this
country will pronounce that admin
istration to have been unparalleled
and conspicuous in its successful
conduct of the affairs of the ma
ton. History will so write it, and
posterity must commend and praise
it, because within these brief years
of its existence so far we have
come to turning point IN the
worlds history, and the hand that
has guided US through such peril
Gus experiences has kept us in the
pathway of peace and safety and
progress. Is it wise to take that
hand from the helm before we have
reached the end of the hard jour
ney? Is it the custom of passen-
gers on ship, when a pilot has
safely carried them through the
storm and tempests of the sea, to
throw him overheard and substitute
in his place an unframed and mex
perienced man for the place? Does
the farmer, or the merchant, or
the banker, discharge faithful
and efficient servant, just to give
the place to some untried fellow,
who happens to want the job? Do
you know of any successful bust
ness concern that follows the prac-
tice of dismissing its manager, who
has capably and satisfactorily con-
Quoted its business, simply to graf
ify the appetite of some hungry Of
fee seeker9
Then, what reason on earth can
there be to displace Woodrow Viii

it be to satisfy, if possible, the in
ordinate greed for Office of those

Hughes? What principle do they |
Their most resourceful
leaders can point to none. What
issue do they present? The most |
powerful political microscope has
so far been unable to discover a
single one.

Henry FOrd's Statement

? Henry Ford has been the most
remarkable figure in the industrial
world for some years. His extra
ordinary genius has established the
largest and most successful manu-
featuring plant on earth. He has
always been a Republican, and in
the primaries in his State, Michi-
gan, before the National Republi-
can convention of last June the
Republican voters of his State, by
substantial majority, gave him
the instructions in that state for
the Republican nomination for the
presidency, even when he was not

WILSON'S SPLENDID GUIDANCE OF
NATION is BECKHAM'S THEME
Senator EOqueny Recouns the Great Achievements of
Record Democratic Finest in American History

Senator J. G. w. Beckham open
ed the campaign for President
Wilson in Mclean county Saturday
before one of the largest audiences
that has heard political speaker in
that section of the State in many
years.
There have been persistent re-
quests from Western Kentucky that
Senator Beckham begin the most
important part of his speaking
tour in that section of the State,
where he has always been very
strong politically, and the address
as made by Kentucky's junior Sem
ator made fine impression.
Substance of Address
The address of Senator Beckham
in part follows:
No party ever came before the
American people in a presidential
campaign with a better record or
stronger case than the Democratic
party presents to the people in this
campaign. Democrats confidently
and unhesitatingly claim, and in
telligent Independent voters and
many fair minded Republicans ad-
init, that the administration of our
Federal government for the last
three and half years has never
been excelled in the history of this
country, in the wisdom of its con-
duct, in the number and Importance
of its far-approaehing and benefi-
cial Legislative reforms, in the ad-
mirable and patriotic manner in
which it has managed our relations
with foreign countries under the
most difficult and, at times, dam
gerous circumstances, and in its
many splendid achievements for
the advancement of the welfare
and happiness of the great common
people of our land. 1t has fully
justified the faith of those voters
who by their suffrage placed it in
power nearly four years ago, and
by its remarkable course in mo-
mentous period in the worlds his
tory, it has won the unreserved APP
proval of that large body of Am
erican citizens, who are indepen-
dent in politics, who are not infu-
enced by partisan prejudices, and
who have grown so in numbers and
strength in recent years, that they
can turn the tide of battle either
way in national election.
