CLARK COUNTY'S EXAMPLE.

If the Democrats of the state general
ly would be as liberal and as enterpris-
ing as are those Of Clark county, there
would be no trouble about raising the
money for the legitimate campaign nee
essities. The Democrats of Winchester
and Clark county, declining outside as
sistance raised $4,000 and gave the
most elaborate spread ever attempted
in Kentucky on the occasion of the
opening Of the state campaign there
and fed some $1,000 to 10000 people.
who were dri wn from all sections to
listen to burning oratory and enjoy bur
goo and barbecued meats. II was a
day never TO be forgotten by those who
were fortunate enough to be present
both for the lavish display of hospitality
and the cheering words Of the speakers.
The money for the entertainment
was easily raised, scores contributing
800. each and still! others largely more
than that sum, while all appeared t.
give according 10 their ability. II
other counties, many of them more
able to contribute than CLARK, would
give half us much as she hes for the
advancement Of the Democratic cause.
there would be no occasion for fears or
doubts on the part of the campaign
committee for its expenses. An emu.
lation Of Clark's splendid example is
urged and rivalry suggested.

DAY ALMOST HERE
Big Circus and Great Spectacle Occupy
Five Trains Crammed With Wonders.

The big event for which the young
sters and grownups have been impat-
iently waiting is drawing near, for on
Friday. October 9th, Ringing Brothers
circus is to exhibit in afternoon only in
Richmond Ky. Expectancy never ran
so high before and it is likely that this
district will send large delegation to
feed the elephants. Unusual interest
centers arou d the gigantic spectacle,
cinderella, with which the famous
showmen are this season opening their
wonderful main tent program. Gin
derella" is probably the best loved Of
all fairy tales and 10 see il produced
with more than l00Opersons. Hundreds
Of dancing girls and glorious pagenants
indeed gives promise Of making Child
hood golden dream come true. In
the same great tent will come the mar
velous circus numbers in which 400
men and women performers. scores Of
trained animals and galaxy Of special
features are Introduced. The majority
of the acts are entirely new TO America
the Ringing Bros, having secured the
pick of those European performers who
have been obliged TO seek engagements
IN this coentry because of the war. The
all-new street parade will take place

The citizens of Lancaster should con-
graduate themselves upon having in
prospect one of the best privately own
ed electric hight, heat and power fran
chises of any town of its size that we
know of. The ordinance creating the
franchise has been prepared with TIE
greatest care and no effort has been
spared to give the citizens Of the town
all the protection that can be given by
contract. The rates to private consum-
mers is lower than any town surround
ing US. The street lighting contract
disposed Of at the recent sale will give
the citizens twice as much street light
running from sunset until dawn with
out moonlight schedule for less money
than we are now paying for the street
lights until one O'Clock with moonlight
schedule. while the private consumers
get twenty four hour service for less
money than the present eight hour SER
vice. The purchaser. Mr.. II. V. Bas-
tin, is well known TO the citizens of the
town as one Of the most emerge tic and
thorough going young business men of
our city. We have no doubt that he
will comply with all the provisions Of
the contract and give US lighting sys-
TEN according to the terms of the CON
tract which will be one of the most
complete and modern in the State of
Kentucky. BY this contract there will
be several hundred dollars saved per
annum in the pumping of the water.
The contract for lighting the streets
and the prices TO be charged to private
consumers for electricity are far more
favorable than We anticipated and We
join in congratulations with the citizens
in having this important matter DIS
posed Of so fayorably.

NO LAUNDERING
IN KENTUCKY

1t is well enough for the Democracy
in Kentucky to understand that to wiz
the electoral vote in November il
must fight snd fight hard, contesting
every inch of the ground and bringing
out every Democratic vote. II 10000
Democrats in the State should stay
away from the polls, an average of five
to the precinct. the Republicans will
carry Kentucky. There must he no
laundering or mismanagement, but
wise leadership, close organization
and every voter gotten to the polls.
Kentucky. for number of Presiden-
tial elections, has been a close State.
In 1896 the Republicans elected ten
electors and the Democrats one. In
1900 Bryan carried the State by only
5000. In 1916 Parker carried it by less
than 10, ZOO. In 1905 Bryan only had a
majority of II. 900 and in 1912 Wilson
had only majority OF 1000 over the
Taft and Roosevelt vote.
These figures in the last SIX Presden-
tial elections show how close Kentucky
is. They give hope and encouragement
to the Republicans.
In addition to this, Mr.. Hert, the
National Republican Committeeman
for Kentucky. has charge Of the purse
strings in the Chicago headquarters
and if coin can carry the State Hert
will see that it IS supplied.
1t is not year for confidence upon
the part of Democrats. but for work.
Net year for claims of big majority
but year to work to secure a substan-
tial one. We have the votes to make
victory certain but to be absolutely
sure Of winning we must see that every
/ Democrat casts his ballot. Elizabeth

fatal wounds. 1t is thought the skull

that Arnold was attempting to strike
his (Arnold's) wife when he interfered
to protect her. Faulkner was taken
before Judge Arnold, who held him
over to the grand-jury under $500

ger tleman and makes friends at once of
young and old. His voice is sweet,
sYmpa thetic. lyric. tenor. AS gospel
sooist he excels. As a leader of songs

A month ago it looked like einoh
for the Dodgers and the Red Sox. Both
had leads that looked like commanding
ones. The players on each club had
started to spend their world series
money in advance went-zowie! the
form reversal came.
The Phillies moved up from poor
third in the National to second place
The Braves shot from second place to
first and the Dodgers went to third.
The clubs ziz-zagged a while and then
the Phillies annexed fair lead. All
but the staunchest Dodger fans con-
ceded the main chance to the Moran
itese and then came the rude upset.
The Dodgers came back" and the
Phillies went away. The Moran crowd
met the Giants and got an awful whal-
ing just at a time when they were fig
ured "in." 1t sent them back to a po-
sition we'll removed from the pinnacle.
Then the Braves got jolt and went
into very rutty third place. 1t look
ed as if they were out of the battle
entirely; that the fighting the rest of
the way would involve only the Dod-
gers and the Phillies, with the Dodg-
ers having every advantage. And then
came the second uprising or the
Braves which moved them forward in
the percentage table put them back iii
the fracas.
Which club will furnish the next up
set? And which the next comeback?
And when?
