ALL ABOARD DEMOCRATS
FOR THE NOVEMBER
ELECTION.

/ President Wilson will be reelected
for the splendid legislative achieve.
ments accomplished during his admin
istration. By the same token. the
Democrats who have been his co-labor-
ers and fellow workers in his legisla-
tive program merit the endorsement Of
the people. The entire country is pro-
foundly grately to the President and
The Democratic Congress who have
kept our country at peace when the
rest of the world is at war. The pros
perity of the people is unquestloned.
If the Republicans ard Bull Moose
parties can afford TO compose their diff
ferences as they did at Chicago. surely
the Democrats of this district can learn
a timely and useful lesson from that
example. The last State election
showed very narrow margin for the
Democrats. This majority can not be
increased by contests waged on vote
losing issues and the reoDening Of old
sores resulting from the distribution Of
patronage. At this crucial time. the
people demand the guarantee OF a
record of things done.
They know that the salary is a fixed
charge regardless Of who is nominated
and they further know that who ever
is nominated in the Congressional CON
test will want TO hold the Office as hing
as his services are satisfactory to the
people. With the questions of such
moment and magnitude up for settle
ment, il is obvious that those who have
had experience and been in touch with
the conditions are better equipped to
meet the demands Of the times than
those who have rot had such experience.
As the President has the foreign and
domestic situation at his fingers ends
and is familiar with the entire situation,
so in less degree. the Congressman
who have been on the job. are better
equipped than any new man. In order
that Kentucky may be found in the
Wilson column. contests which only aid
the Republicans should be stopped and
we suggest that the friends Of the OPP
posing candidates for Congress in this
district take such steps as will contri-
butte to harmony by adjusting their
differences and thereby insuring Ken
tucky's electoral vote for President
Wilson.
