GLOOM OYER ALL
IN DEMOS CAMP
Efforts to Appear Satisfied With
Political Conventions Are Pal.
pably of Little Avail.
REPUBLICANS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

(From Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Neb., June lS.-(Special.)
Efforts of local democrats to ap,
pear as if they were perfectly salts
fled with the political situation, nov
that the conventions have performed
their work, is hilariously amusing
and so palpable is their discourage
.ment that even blind man can dis.
cover the predicament they find
themselves in.
Republicans everywhere and some
democrats, too, are enthusiastic for
Mr.. Hughes for the presidency and
the fact that the only criticism the
opposition make is that he had nc
right to leave the supreme bench tc
become a candidate for the presi.
dency, is not going to get very far.
Plenty of Red Blood. We
Every red-blooded American citi
zen believes it is the greatest honor
that can come to him to be made
president of his country and the fact
that Judge Hughes has shown that
he has plenty of the true American
red blood, is making him many
friends among the opposition.
That Nebraska has good chance
to clean the slate and elect sena'
ator and six congressman and full
state ticket from governor down with
both branches of the legislature re-
publican is made plain by the pam
phlet issued by Secretary of State
Pool few days ago giving the vote
of each county in the late primary
on the most important offices. The
record shows that in the entire state
the republicans cast 1886 vote:
more than did the democrats and fol
that matter 13,477 more votes thar
all the opposition parties combiped
Going a little further through the
record it discfoses that the republi
cans cast more votes in sixty-ont
counties than did the democrats. ex
act figures being, republicans, sixty
one; democrats, thirty, and two coun
ties a tie.
What Vote Indicates.
Going just a little further through
the record it is disclosed that of thu
twenty-eight senatorial districts il
the state, nineteen of them cast {
larger republican vote than they die
democrat and these nineteen districts
elect twenty-four of the thirty-thres
members of the state senate. The
other nine districts elect exactly min.
senators.
If the vote at the primary indi
Gates anything at all, and it would
seem that it would be just as fail
one way as the other, there is no rea
son whatever why Nebraska SHOULD
not elect an entire state ticket re
publican and a legislature strongly
republican in both branches.

In making report of an examination
of the Kentucky Central Life and Acct
dent, Commissioner Clay Of Kentucky
in one of the most searching of ex-
aminations said in part:
An investigation Of the COM
plants filed by policyholders with
the management show that the
company gives special and prompt
attention to same, forwarding
them at once to the superintend-
ents for investigation, with in
structions to settle same imme-
diately If found meritorious.
The death claims are principally
settled in the field by the superin-
tendents, but the policy, premium,
receipt book, proof Of death and
receipt of payment are turned into
the home Office for the files.
Your examiners are glad to say
in their belief that the company's
treatment of policyholders is be-
yond criticism.
We have found the books in an
excellent condition, and must COM
mend the bookkeeper for accuracy
and neatness.
We found the management eX-
ceptionally strong, and commend
the president, +. ]. Walker, and
the secretary, J. o. West, for their
earnest and constant attention to
the company's business
The company is economically man
aged and its officers have the respect
and confidence of those with whom
they have dealings.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH OF COMPANY
THAT OPERATES IN SINGLE STATE
KENTUCKY CENTRAL LIFE AND ACCIDENT HAS POLICY OF
FAIRNESS THAT INSPIRES CONTINUED CONFIDENCE

IL must be a great incentive for
those just beginning in the industrial
life, accident and health business to re-
view the history of the Kentucky Cen
trail Life and Accident Insurance Com.
pany of Louisville, KY, which has had
remarkable career, for which entire
credit is due President f. J. Walker
and Secretary-Treasuper T. o. West.
The company was organized in Sep
TENDER, 1902, and has perpetual char
ter. Beginning with little aside from
self-confdence in their ability to sue
cessfully direct an institution of this
character, Messrs. Walker and West
now find themselves at the head of a
company which is writing probably the
largest business of its kind in single
State. 1t is needless to say that had
they not death with unusual fairness
with policyholders they could not have
inspired so much confidence nor could
the company have continued growing
in such a phenomenal way.
The Kentucky Central Life and Ac-
cident is mutual in spirit as well as in
fact, and the officers feel it their duty
to treat the members literally and to
pay claims with the utmost dispatch.
Despite this policy is loss ratio is not
abnormal. In 1914 the premium in
come in Kentucky, in which state it
operates exclusively, was 576,721.60,
and during that year the company paid
over $4,000 weekly sick and accident
and 1922 death claims.
So effective is its policy that instead
of having to seek agents the Kentucky
Central Life and Accident has more
applications than it can care for. Its
men are prosperous and are largely of
that clean, young, aggressive type
which is a characteristic of the Off
GERS themselves.
Although the company operates in a
