A Voting Republican

Joseph Sampson of this place,
celebrated his 92nd birth day
last Saturday and had with him
to dinner members of his family.
He is hale and hearty and looks
just like he did twenty years ago
and appears in good health and
vigor both in mind and body.
He began voting in Bell county
seventy-one years ago, and has
never missed an electiOn-not a
vote. He supported Lincoln for
President and help organize the
Republican party and voted with
its founders. Never has he bolt
ed a ticket or swerved from the
faith and is now anxious to help
elect a Republican President to
take the place of Granny Will
son" in the White House.
Mr.. Sampson is the father of
large family and has many grand
children and Great Grand chill
dren. scattered through Knox
and Otner counties. Joseph
Sampson, Jr., Lewis D. Sampson
John w. Sampson and Judge F.
d. Sampson are all sons of
Joseph Sampson; and Mrs.
Katherine Barner of Barbour
vile, and Mrs. Hiram Jones. of
London, KY, are daughters.
Father Sampson has rhe respect
and confidence of all who know
him, and we wish for him many
more happy and prosperous
years, and an opportunity to
help restore the Grand Old Re-
publican Party to power, so that
we may enjoy that old time Re-
publican prosperity and plenty.

Lewis of this district arose and
said, mr.. President, | resent
the remarks of the Senator from
Lyon county about the ppsscnle
from McCreary. Those people
are constituents of mine. And !
want to say that | know as a
whole they are just as good citi-
zens as live in any other county
or section of this State. They
possess more than the usual
amount of that Angio-Saxon
blood md heritage which is the
boast of our civilization. While
it may be true that some few of
them fpr selfish aed partisan mo-
tives have done things they
ought not. | cannot remain silent
and let the whole people be con.
demned for that.
If, as the gentleman says, dis
graceful things have COME from
there, that is a strong reason
why we should vote down this
proposition and not bring another
disgrace upon the State"

Where do you stand on propo-
sition? Let your neighbors know
where you are, talk it, write it
to your friends, let us all get to-
gether on the subject. let us ask
ourselves the question, are we
ready for it now? Would it be
best for all the people of the
great State of Kentucky? AS
far as we are concerned we have
always been prohibition, we have
always looked at it as a bad thing
especially in this end of the State.
We are far away from a city
where in toxicating liquors are
lawfully sold, Lexington being
the nearest, vet we are not at all
rid of the awful influences of the
cursed stuff. We are in the
newspaper business, and are sup
posed to take advertising for pay
we like to have the pay, yet we
have turned down many paying
contracts for whiskey advertis-
ments. We will not take enc
from anyone, we need the money
and need it bad, yet we had
rather have patches all over the
southern part of our trousers, and
wear a coat with the >seves
fringed at the wrist, and \ds
at all covering the elbow, u. 60
advertise anything that would
cause one neighbor to take the
life of another neighbor.
Forty dollars is not bad for a
page ad. we take them sometimes
for less, we would go entirely out
of the newspaper business before
we will do this kind of advertis-
ing. Yet we do not have the
support of the fellows that want
to make the most noise against
the liquor trafc, but few of this
class patronize our paper, or en-
courage US in our feble way of
trying to do something for the
good of all, but on the other hand
we have many strong supporters
who sometimes take a drink,
they stand by US and help US by
taking the paper and paying US
for it.
We invite any and all to write
us their opinions on the state
wide subject, if you do not want
it published say so, and we will
not publish it. If you do, say 30
and we will publish it, and if you
do not want your name to it we
will leave it off. But at all haz-
ards lets get together, exchange
ideas. We are Kentuckians and
ought to have each others inter-
est at heart.

to have a box of Rexall Orderlies in

Who Will We Have For
Delegates

The time is drawing near at
hand when we shall select our
delegates to the National Repub-
lican Convention. and we should
select men who have really done
something for the party. In
doing this we find ourselves at
sea, we have so many who have
worked hard for the party, that
we are 10th to say which it shall
be. except. that we can think of
none better qualified, or one who
is more deserving of this honor
than r. P. Ernst, of Covington,
Edwin p. Morrow, of Somerset,
E. C. O'Rear, of Frankfort, and
Phil Brown (CoD of Hopkins
vile, Ky.
Each and all of these men
have done much for the party.
not only on the stump, but they
have given of their worldly
goods. On one occasion, when
the Republicans had a fight on,
and it was learned that it would
be necessary to have Sl500.00 to
run some special trains. this
same R. P. Ernst when apprais-
ed of the fact, told the managers
to go right ahead, make all the
arrangements, and draw on him
for the cash. Such men as these
should have the honor to repre-
sent his party.
, Besides all this. we have 9TH
ers, who have worked hard and
earnest, there is the odd War
Horse George W. Long, Maui
rice L. Calvin, Avis S. Bennett,
and thousands of others, that
have devoted time and money
for the part, who, by their un-
firing energy are entitled to the
highest arcania of the Republi-
can party Of Kentucky. Yet,
WE will have to choose among
them, and in doing so we want
those who can best serve and
best agree. Taking the whole
matter into consideration. we do
not believe that the first four
mentioned can be beaten. We
will be satisfied, no matter who
is named to represent us there
just so that he will stand up for
the Grand Old Republican Party
and bear its standard high in the
air. The Republicans will not in
our judgement make any mistake
this year; they will go to that
convention with a fixed and
steady purpose to nominate a
man that will carry the country
a it has never teen done before,
o e that is equal to the occasion,
let that occasion he what it
may. We have enough true and
qualified men to fill the high
office of President of the United
States in the Republican party
TO make an armv sufficient for
the nations defense now so much
talked about.
!. And, when we shall have gone
ito the National Convention, we
!Hfe sure that the men who go,
will make a platform that will
be strong enough for every voter
in the United States to stand
upon, it will be our judgement
to have that old plank that has
borne this great nation across
the pillows when hard times
have looked US in the face, that
old plank that gives us not only
revenue, but gives US protection
from the cheap labor of foreign
countries. With that plank

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad.--That working conditions
in the southern Colorado coal mines
are as good II not better than in the

ion of members of the federal commits
sion headed by Seth Low of New York,
who returned to the Trinidad district
after inspecting coal mines in Huer-

feet was given by Patrick Gilday, u
member Of the commission.
II believe" said Mr.. Gilday, that
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was sincere
when he came to Colorado. There
are some who believe that his trip to
this state was n grandstand play, but
l don't. l think he played the part
OF man and feel that his trip and
the things he saw here will result in
material improvement Of conditions
generally" He stated further that he
did not believe the working of the
Rockefeller industrial system would
bring about the conditions demanded

The members of the commission ex-
pressed themselves as much i'm.
pressed with the sociological work in
the coal camps, Mr.. Gilday, speaking
for the commission, commented with
particular approval on the splendid
conditions at the Cameron mine in the
Walsenburg district.
We had pleasant but busy stay
In the southern coal fields" said Mr..
Low. I'VE visited mines at Prlmero.
Frederick, the one at Hastings, the
Walsen-Robinson and the Ravenwood
and Cameron mines. The conditions
as to houses and general living condi.
tions seemed to be most satisfactory,
comparing very favorably with the
Pennsylvania and other mines In the
East that have come under my obser-
walton.
We found one company was build.
ing garages and that many of the
automobiles to be housed therein are
owned by the miners.

operators and with the miners, and
