BRYAN ONLY FOR \ DAY
TRIP THROUGH KENTUCKY

The grip that William Jennings
Bryan holds on Kentucky is most re-
markable and the desire to hear him
comes from every section. In re-
spouse to this desire the Chairman
of the Speakers Bureau, Arthur B.
Rouse, laid claim to his time, but it
was so completely filled that the
great commoner could be secured
only for one day, October 18th, when
he will speak from Franklin all
along the line to Elizabethtown.
where the last and principal speech
of the day will be made and where
great preparations to receive him
have been arranged. The greatest
platform orator of his day will not
fail to thrill his hearers and make
them more determined to keep Will
son on guard.

Logan o. Smith was born Sept.

nearly 16 years old at the time of his
death. He was born again" when
about 25 years of age, being baptiz-
ed by Elder Jesse Sewell, of Tennes-
see. For more than a half century
he was a humble, consistent men,
Der of the Church of Christ. He was
born in Tennessee, but when a young
man he moved to Kentucky and in
1874 came to Texas and first settled
in Llano county. In 1882 he bought
a farm and moved to San Saba coun-
ty. He was twice married and leaves
wife and three children. The lat

His death, while not unexpected,
was very sudden and a shock to the
community in which he lived.
Uncle Logan as everybody call
ed him, had gone in and out so long
before them that they could not
think of time when he would not
be with them. He was a lovable
character; everybody loved him. No
one lost an enemy when Uncle Lo-
gan" died. While not possessed of
great wealth, he had always enough
and to spare. No one ever appealed
in vain to him for help. AS a gos-
pei preacher, | have often been in
his humble home. Uncle Logan"
and Aunt Logan" as he and his
good wife were known far and wide.
loved to entertain their friends and
especially gospel preachers. They
both studied the Holy Scriptures and
hence were wise unto salvation"
They talked much of the doctrine
of God, our Savior" and rejoiced in
the hope of eternal life.
Besides his own children, he
leaves eleven grandchildren and
fourteen great-grandchildren. His
aged companion is in feeble health,
now at the home of her daughter,
near Mercury. Texas. She would be
glad to hear from their old friends
in far-away Kentucky. if any who

Is Based On Just Two
Main Theories
WHICH PEOPLE PLAINLY NOTE
First, That People Are Fools
Second, That Money Can
Buy Presidency.
WHY WILSON GROWS STRONGER

The Republican national campaign
is based upon two theories. First,
that the American people are fools;
and second, that money can elect a
President.
These are the guiding principles
of the Republican managers. The
business of exploiting the American
neonle as fools has been instructed
TO Mr.. Hughes and the other Repub-
lican speakers. The business of
electing & President with money is
in the hands of the trusted lieuten-
ants of the Old Guard.
OF Republican money the supply
is inexhaustible. Every reactionary
interest, every financial and corpora
ton element that fattens off privi-
lege and partnership with govern
ment, is pouring its contributions
into the Republican campaign chest
with a lavishness that would have
won the envy of Mark Hanna.
Whatever can be done with money
in this campaign, the Hughes man
ayers are in a position to do it.
In other respects the Republican
campaign adheres rigidly to the doc
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1916-10-18
KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN
Is WHOOPING ONWARD

The political campaign In Ken
lucky is now fairly on. Both of the
great political parties have had
their openings" To be sure the
Journal of Labor is mainly interest
ed in the political issues as they
pertain to Labor. The Republicans
opened their campaign in Lexing-
ton and Judge Hughes was the prin.
cipal orator. Because Judge Hughes
is the Presidential nominee great
weight is naturally given to what he
has to say. Mr.. Hughes saw fit to
attack the course of the President
and Congress on the recent eight
hour day law. We think he made q
fatal mistake in antagonizing labor,
but Judge Hughes is frank. He
shows where his party stands. II
we may read Judge Hughes between
the lines we can not fail to be con-
WINGED that Samuel Gompers made
no mistake in saying Judge Hughes
was not friendly to the cause of Ia
Dor, that his trend of mind was all
the other way.
The Democrats opened their cam
paign at winchester recently and
Vice President Marshall was the
chief orator. MIR. Marshall was for
merly Governor of Indiana and did
much for the cause of Labor in that
State. The tendency of all of the
Democratic orators in this campaign
is to support the eight-hour princi-
pie.
1t Is to be expected that Repub-
lican politicians will urge that it
were better to let the strike take
place and allow the industries of the
country to suffer than to compro-
mise the way President Wilson did,
but we do not feel that way in Louis
vile and in Kentucky generally. We
think the poor suffer sufficiently
now without having them subjected
to further increases in prices which |
would have resulted had strike ia
ken place. AS the campaign pro-
ceeds We hope the Labor cause will
be kept steadily before the public in
order that Labor may get a fair
hearing after the election.-[Jour-
nal of Labor.

On the Down Grade,

1t seems the further Mr.. Hughes
goes the further he gets from the
White House. His speeches have
been evasive, fault-fnding and total
ly without constructive ideas. II he
has an issue or a fixed program he
has failed to take the people into
his confidence. He straddles when
1t would be easier to be straightfor-
ward and instead of making a can
yass worthy of the high Office he
seeks he adopts the tactics of a can
didate for constable. Owned by con-
nicting interests and fearful of Of
Tending any OF them. he has had to
keep ON that narrow strip of land
between the devil and the sea. Per-
hEps he Is doing the best he can UNI
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1916-10-18

for granted not merely that the
American people are fools, but that
they are idiots. 1t assumes that they
are not only ignorant, but that their
brains are closed to all possible
channels of information and knowl-
edge. Mr.. Root might as well have
told them that there was no war in
Europe, and that the reports of
war were the sensational inventions
of licentious press inspired by a
ribald Government in Washington.
Yet this is the kind of campaign
that the Republican candidates and
speakers have conducted since the
night that Mr.. Hughes delivered his
speech of acceptance. 1t has no par
allel in American history. Never
before was Presidential candidacy
presented to the country on so low
and contemplate an intellectual
plane.
Is 1t surprising that President Will
son is growing stronger every day
and that Mr.. Hughes is growing
weaker? How could it be other
wise? The American people are not
fools. The Presidency of the United
States is not for sale. The millions
that Wall Street is flushing into the
Republican Golfers cannot take the
place of conscience, courage and
conviction ia a Presidential contest,
and in conscience, courage and con-
'viction the Hughes campaign is
poorer than the poorest and most
miserable of paupers.-[New York
World.

that as between Wilson and Hughes
he would support Wilson.
Recently Judge Proctor wrote a
letter to Governor Wager, of Porto
Rico, like the judge, a Progressive
and Kentuckian. In that letter
the Judge outlined his position in the
present campaign and gave his rea-
sons for his support of the Demo-
cratic ticket. He sent a copy of the
letter to Chairman Cantrill, of the
State Democratic Campaign Commit
tee, and the contents were given
wide publicity.
Judge Proctor has just received
the following letter of acknowledge
ment from Chairman Cantrill:
Hon. B. F. Proctor, Bowling
Green, Ky. Ny Dear Sir:-Your
splendid letter to Governor Wager
received to-day, and | beg to assure
you that it is very much appreciated
at Democratic Headquarters.
81 will arrange to have your letter
put into pamphlet form and give it
thorough distribution. The Cour-
ier-Journal of tomorrow will carry
a synopsis of it.
Your letter hits the bulls eye,
and will be of invaluable service to
tho Democratic cause in Kentucky
and | certainly appreciate your. val
liable support.

der to send to the printer to have

trine that the American people are
ignorant and uniformed, that they
do no thinking for themselves and
are sufficiently credulous to believe
anything that Republican orator
tells them.
Mr.. Hughes is the great apostle
of this doctrine. All his campaign
speeches draw their inspiration from
the belief that IL he attacks the
President viciously and vindictively,
1t is not necessary that he should
have issues or policies or a program
of his own. His notion is that
the average American voter is too
stupid to ask what would really hap
pen If President Wilson were defeat
ed and Mr.. Hughes were elected.
The thing to do, in Mr.. Hughs' opin-
ion, is to infiame popular passion
and prejudice against the President
without allowing the country to
know what a Hughes Administra-
ton would do or what it would
mean. To present program of
government would enable the voters
to make comparisons between the
Presidents policies and achieve
ments and Mr.. Hughes promises.
Such a comparison must not be per-
mitted, and so Mr.. Hughes pussy
foots over a German-Wall Street
trail toward the White House.
Republican confidence in the in
herent stupidity of the American
people attained its highest fulfill
ment in Elihu Roots speech in Car
negie Hall last night. Even Mr..
Hughes has never reached such
heights of contempt for American
intelligence Sneering at the claim
that President Wilson has kept us
out of war, Mr.. Root said
Never since Columbus sighted
San Salvador has there been a time
when it has been so easy for Ameri-
ca to keep out of war by doing moth
ing as it has been during the great
conflict now raging in the Old
World"
Such statement as that takes it
