The colored people Of this city will
have a fair this fall, in contradiction
to the statement made sometime age

streets.
Messrs. Bradford, HUMPHREYS and

A large number of premiums have
been arranged and entries for the
same will be sent in from now until

secured their merry go-round. a cake
walker. old plantation. and numerous
other attractions.
Arrangements have been made to
accommodate the large crowd Of col
ored people that will undoubtedly
come from various parts OF the county
to stay during the fair and there will
be no crowded quarters as during the
meeting of the Colored Odd Fellows
They assure the people that there will
be plenty to eat and numerous places
to stay.
The management has secured a con-
tract for band for the two days OF
the fair The band is one of the best
in Northeastern Kentucky but the men
in charge are keeping the name OF
the band in secret so as To surprise
the people.
The fair this year promises to be-
one of the best that has ever been In
this city. Preparations are being
made each day for the success of the
exhibition.

G. 0. P. Wins


Portland, Me-, September 11-Maine
Republicans. reinforced by returning
Progressives, won signal victory at
the election today, They elected o
Governor, an Auditor, two United
Senators, and four Representatives in
Congress and wrested control Of the
State House of Representatives from
the Democrats and will be able, on
a joint vote of the legislature, to
elect the other state officers not
chosen by popular vote.
Carl E. Milliken led his ticket, de-
feating Governor Oakley c. Curtis,
who sought reelection by a plurality
OF approXimating 10000.
At 1890 o'clock tonight the indica-
tons based on tabulation of the vote
from a little more than half the pre-
cincts was that the Republicans had
won by safe plurallties.
If the ratio of the Republican mar
gin is maintained. Bert NJ. Fernald,
Republican, seems to have been elect
ed for the short term in the United
States Senate, and the same ratio of
gain would give him a plurality of
$500.
United States Senator Charles F.
johnson, Democrat, apparently has
been defeated by Frederick Hale by
an indicated plurality of 1900
Pour G. o. p. Congressman
If the Republican Congressional
candidates hold the lead they had AT
1890 o'clock, four, Louis b. Goodal
in the First District; Wallace II.
White, Jr., in the Second; Congress-
man John A. Peters, in the Third. and
Ira G. Hersey, In the Fourth, will be-
elected.
The Republican drift extended &c
county officers, the greater number
of county attorneys and sheriffs being
Republicans. These officers are i'm
portant locally because the holders
are charged with enforcing the pro-
hibition laws. The vote was heavy
as had been expected for the cam
paign had been waged with n deter
mnation not seen In recent years
The country was searched out for
speakers OF national prominence and
the greater number OF these battled
on national issues. National defense.
the tariff and the eight-hour law for
railroad men doomed large in the
speeches.
The PrOgressives who two years
ago cast 1926 votes returned large
ly to the Republican party in the opln-
ion Of Republican leaders.
The closest fight was for Congress
from the Second District where Rep
resentative Daniel ]. McGillicuddy
was defeated by Wallace II. White. Jr.,
500 plurality.
Heavy Vote Cast
The total vote may prove to have
been the largest ever cast in the
state.
The election was the elimination of
one of the hottest fights ever waged
in the state and marked the reunion
of the Republican and Progressive
parties, whose differences in 1912
gave the electoral vote to Maine to
President Wilson and two years later
resulted in the election of Governor
Oakley C. Curtis by a plurality of
3,189. Tonight figures indicated that
the regular percentage of the Pro.
gressive vote which two years ago was
1926, was cast today for the Re-
publican ticket.
For the first time the two United
States Senators were elected by pop
ular vote, and the Republicans made
a determined effort to win the one
seat in the Senate and the single seat
in the House of Representatives held |
by Maine Democrats.
