Courier Journal Claims Victory.

We have been advised that the
Louisville Courier Journal will
claim the election of Mr.. Wilson in
its issue of today. We have made
efforts to get in communication WITH
several of the large papers in Ohio
and Indiana but have been unable
to do so.
The Lexington Herald is of the
opinion that Wilson has a good
chance to be returned the winner.
--latest information from Ohio is
to the eect that Wilson has carried
it by more than 10000.
There were many surprises in
the election, one of them being Ken
lucky which the Republicans have
been claiming by 5000 or more, at
the Democratic headquarters at an
early hour this morning, it was
stated that Kentucky would go in
the neighborhood of $4,000 for Will
son. This will be good news to
those who have labored so long and

A telephone message received by
the writer at 1880 this morning
from the Cincinnati Enquirer says
the result is in doubt, with the re-
suit exceedingly close.
The New York World and New

earnestly to put the grand old Com
monwealth back, beyond any ques-
ton, safely in the Democratic fold.
Whitman, Republican, was elect
ed Governor of New York and
hughes carried the state by a large
majority. In Ohio it looks like Cox,
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, has been elected and that the
Buckeye state will cast its electoral
vote for Wilson with Pomerene re-
turned to the Senate. Indiana is
reported to be especially close and
that possibly the official count will
be required before it can be deter
mined who carried the Hoosier
state. The grand old solid south
gave its usual Democrats majority.
Connecticut while going Republican
is said to have gone only by small
majority. Pennsylvania gave Hughes
a large majority. Illinois is also in
the Republican column. The wOm-
en- voters in that state were a great
disappointment to the Democratic
party who expected to get the
greater percentage of that large
vote but from the meager returns
received it seems that the women
followed the lead of their husbands
and voted the Republican ticket.
The returns have been received
but from very few or the western
states. California is in the Repub-
hcan column while Colorado went
Democratic as did Nebraska, Viii
son is leading in South Dakota.

ed to make prediction as to
whether the Democratic or Repub-

the best information we have been
able to get up until going to press

western states holding the balance
of power. According to the latest

TESTIMONY OF CHILD IN KEN.
TUCKY MURDER TRIAL BRINGS
TEARS TO MANY

Mt Sterling, Ky, October 24-The
trial of Cleveland Pergram for the al
legged murder of James Harris in Bath
County two years ago, began here to-
day. The widow and five daughters
who were with Harris when he was
killed testified. Grace Harris, II, rc-
lated the tragic story of the murder of
her father on the road while he wac
going to his work on farm.
Narrating the facts leading up to the
shooting and then telling of seeing her
father fall to the ground caused many
tears to be shed in the courtroom.
Harris killed Programs brother and
at the time he was himself killed b"
was out on bond. Pergram only n
short time before the murder of Har-
ris had killed, it is charged, Tom Jones
in Bath County and was out on parol"
for that crime.
The case will be concluded tomor-
row.

las it has come to pass that rail-

conducts through which moneys pass
from the travelling and shipping pub

actually pay the freight rates, but
collect the amounts so paid either d.
rectly or indirectly from the ultimate
consumer.
1T, therefore, follows that what
ever is added to wages most be ad-
ded (first) to the sums paid to the
railways in freight rates, and (sec-
ond) to the prices Of the commo-
dities shipped, that is to say, to the
cost of living Of the ultimate con-
sumers. This makes it apparent that

one to increase the cost of living OF

who have incomes lower than those
received by railway trainmen in or

A CONTEST OF
CHARACTER, NOT a
OF WEASEL WORDS
Cardinal Question in This Campaign !,
Whether the People Want In the
White House n Phrase. Maker,
or q Man who Backs
Words With
Deeds.

Woodrow Wilson excels in the ar
tistry of politics beyond the capacity
Of Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
Were the current campaign a game of
professional politics instead of con.
test of character between two candl.
dates for the highest Office in the gift
of the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made a study of
form-tirst of literary form-and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered style peculiarly
his own, and peculiarly Characteristic
The study of words and their multi
plicity of meaning always fasclnates
him, so much that u Princeton class
mate recently said of him: Tommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore RoOse-
velt's Maine Guide calls weasel
words" That is--"he can take u
word and weasel it around and suck
the meaning out of IL like weasel
sucks an egg, until Is don't mean any
thing ut all, no matter what II
sounds like IL means" Thence came
also the series of catch phrases, so
fascinating in sound, so false in sug-
geStion; so easy to read, so hard to I'M
derstand. So it is that he is able to
be on all sides of every public ques-
ton, while covering his c.rcutOus
course with flow of words that roll
us easily from his pen as brook
through the meadow. 1t is his artful-
ness in the use of words that enables
him to pose us 'an amateur In poll
ties while playing the game with the
skill Of II professional Whatever his
ineplitrde in other respects, he is cas-
lily first among presidents In the art
lstry Of politics, and he would win
next November, were that the test
Compare the Witness of Mr. Wilson
with the raishtforwardness of Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smooth style of
the one with the rugged dictiOn of the
other. The one is us complex in the
use OF words as the other Is simple.
Ii Is a case of SonOrOuSness versus
strength. Mr.. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy of straightforward
ness and the strength Of sincerity ;
upon the force of facts, instead of up
on the fiction of phrase, to win his
case before the jurg of the nation.
Ills appeal is to the head and not the
ear of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
tercul side. 1t Is an appeal to the
courage of the country and not to Its
cowardice. Mr.. Hughes could not, If
he would, perform in year the pO-
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
in day. The question today is
whether the people want in the White
House for the next four years a
phrase-maker or hlstory-maker; a
man of many sayings, or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There
is fundamental difference between
the two candidates, which marks the
line of cleavage in this extraordinary
ampaign-"Hughes means what he
saws"

ADAMSON LAW TO INCREASE LIv-
ING COST

When l.. +. Loree, President Of
the Delaware & Hudson Co, sent in
his enrolment to the Hughes Ma
tional College League, he was promp-
" asked for his definition. as n rail-
road man, of the Adamson Law. In re-
ply he referred to his recent statement
before the Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce, in which he de-
clared the proposals of the four rail-
road brotherhoods to be 'an effort to
obtain largely increased pay under the
false pretense of placing a limitation
which has some support in popular
opinion upon the hours daily devoted
to labor, but without any actual pur-
pose to diminish these hours"
Later in this same statement, Mr..
Loree showed that not only is this
counterfeit eight hour day a contrac-
tual fiction, but it will increase the
cost of living of the great multitude
of Americans who have incomes low
err than those received by railroad
trainmen, in order to increase these
higher incomes.
1.-THE trainmen have adopted for
their demand the misleading desig-
nation of the Eight Hour Day. he
said for the reason that the prin-
ciple of the eight-hour working day
has been much discussed by econo-
mists and philanthropists, and be-
cause it has seemed to them that I'M
der cover of a most popular designa-
ton they could obtain sympathy OF
the public for increases in wages
which, of themselves, would not be
approved.
"The trainmen either wish to eX-
tend their hours in the numerous
cases in which they receive a day
pay for much less than eight hours
work, nor to reduce their hours oi
service in those instances in which
they are paid for more than a full
day, or would be paid for more than
a full day if the time for standard
trip were limited to eight instead
of ten hours. That is to say, they
are taking their stand in favor of a
counterfeit eight-hour days which
If accepted by the railroads. could

al fiction. and is beinO pressed onlN
