The Republican in its last issue
says "the election will soon he over
ard then. Let ms all God. return. to the
practice of brotherly love and enter
into covenant OF charity and gen.
eral good will to men" The election
will soon be over? What election,
pray tell? Strikes US that we had
no election--evcry man that goes
into office on the Republican ticket
does so by default pure and simple
and not as the representative of the
people, because were not about 1000
voters of Ohio county DISTINGUISHED
by the petty political trickery of the
local Republican clique? Then as to
that covenant of charity and general
good will, we can't hardly expect the
man who has been slugged to form
a covenant Of good will with the
thug who has beaten him up.

EXPRESSIVE VOTE.

Although defeated, Bud Bennett
Guy Robertson and Ozna Shuts
have reason for much consolation in
the returns from most of the pre-
cincts in the county. Considering
the fact that their names had to be
written on every ballot cast for them,
and only two days time in which to
instruct their friends, it was the
most remarkable race ever pulled off
in this or any other county in Ken
lucky. Necessarily, there was much
confusion and many votes lost by
mistakes.
The splendid vote pollcd by these
three Democratic candidates is a di-
rect reputation of the unfair scheme
of the Court House clique. Besides,
it shows the high degree Of intelli-
pence OF the voters who stood so 10y
ally for a square deal, and the eX-
treme popularity Of these three con-
testants. The expression Of conf
dence coupled with defeat is more TO
be priced than the Offices tainted as
they arc by the undcrhand methods
of the gangstcrs who succeeded in
forcing lop-sded contest. Hats of
to the game candidates and loyal
Democrats Of Ohio county.
To those manly, fair-minded Re-
publcans who refused to stand for
the raw deal handed out by the ring,
we bow with respect
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1917-11-07

When the Republican clique now in
the saddle boast Of a normal major
ity of more than five hundred in the
county, and. at the same time have
to resort to all sorts Of spiels to pre-
vent reputation at the polls, they
must realize that their rotten meth
DDS have become a stencil in the
nostrils OF an outraged citizenship.
Even after they succeeded in keep
ing the Democrats Oft the ballot, it
was necessary TO give the S. o. 6.
and crack the party whip to keep the
good people from turning. as they
expressed it, to the Socialists in or
der to defeat the gang.

DIsFRANCHIsING 4 people.

The effort to diseranchisc 5000 or
more voters Of Ohio county. by Il
piece or petty trickerv, is meeting
indignant protests Of honest men Of
all parties, not only in Ohio county,
but in Greensboro and Daviess coun-
tv and throughout Kentucky, where
the facts have become known. And
as the day Of the election approach
es, when there will be no election in
Ohio county, simply farce, the
wrath Of the people will grow.
Republican leaders. who have not
hesitated to take advantage of every
political means in the past to win
elections, confess themselves amazed
and mortified at this outrage, and do
not hesitate IN proclaim ii. feeling

their names printed upon the ballot.
1t is unfortunate that the voters
Of Ohio county will be deprived of
the privilege of expressing their
choice for county officials because Of
an oversight on the part Of Demo-
cratic nominees to technically COM
ply with the law.
1t would have been generous, if
not Just, on the part Of County Clerl;
B'anlcnship 20 have caused the
names of Democratic nominees TO be
printed upon the ballots; notwith-
standing the highest court has said
he was within his rights when he re-
fused to do so.
II would have shown that he and
his Republican associates were not
afraid to measure swords with their
Democratic adversaries.
But his course was cowardly one
and deserves the condemnation Of
those who admire a man of courage,
one who would spun an unfair adj
vantage over a worthy antagonist.
Mr. Blankenship alone is respon-
sihle for the leaving of Democrats
names off the Ohio county ballots.
II was not within the province of
Judge Slack, who respected his oath
of office, to grant the relief sought
by Ohio county Democrats in this
instance. The court of appeals, all
of whom are Democrats but one,
have said so.
1t must be comforting to Judge
Slack to see that some of those, ig-
norant of the law, who started out
to scott and criticize him have ended
by profusely compimcntinC and
praising him.--Owensboro Inquirer

The law requires that candidates

1t was real funny-yes, we might
say ludicrOus-to see the Republicans
get a hustle on themselves every
time the Democrats made a move
during the last few days of the cam
paiGn. And this, too in the face of
the fact that they lad no opposition
the Democrats being left OF the
ballot. It is only evidence Of the
fact that the Republicans feared the
wrath of an outraged people, and
that the fair-mindod citizens of Ohio
county would exercise their rights
regardless of the efforts Of the Re-
publican gangstcrs to disfranchisc
them.

IS NOT COMMON
IN WASHINGTON

Examination OF the marriage records
today proved that washingtonians are
not hiding behind petticoats to escape
the military draft.
The total number OF licenses granted
to men OF CONSUMPTION axe between June
8. registration day. and the time the
nrst increment Of drafted men was
called out was found TO be 6l9. OF this
number I53 licenses were issued TO white
couples and 1856 to colored. More than
Is per cent OF the Licenses were granted
to soldiers in uniforms. At least half
the total number were issued TO residents
Of Virginia. Maryland. and other nearby
States. This leaves about q per cent Of
the total licenses obtained by Wash

IDEAS
WILL NOT MODIFY
DRAFTLAW BASIS

Although President Wilson intends
modifying some Of the harsh provi-
sions Of the draft law. especially those
applying to married men. # was EN-
phatically stated at the white House
today. that none OF the changes he
contsmp1ates would touch the funda-
mental principles of the law which
has hesn declared constitutional In .
Federal court.
The decision unfolding the eonsti-
tutionality of the law was handed
down by Judge Emory speer, United
States Judge for the southern district
of Georgia, yesterday. It IL expected
his ruling. made after . thorough
analysis Of all the provisions Of the
law, will quiet propagandists through
out the. country who have been pro
testing against the right Of the ma
tion to press its citizens into military
service.
President Wilson Is expected to
make known before the end Of this
week his views with regard to the
exemption Of married menInd others
having dependents. Only sixteen
days remain before the nrst iners-
ment will be called out, and the Prssi-
dent intends to act before the men
he believes entitled TO exemption are
sent to training camps.
The President IL Understood to
hold the opinion that fathers with de-
pendent children. unless they be men
OF wealth, should be exempted; that
men married to women who worked
should be exempted rather than that
the women should be made to 60 back
to work: and that married men own
ing their own businesses or engaged
in professional occupations should Be
exempted unless they have aceumu-
lated sufficient money a. to leave
their wives independent OF the con-
tinuance OF their business or profess
sional activities.

General Gather was invited to onsr
Suggestions whereby the city might
make pleasant the troops stay IN this
section. The Maryland commander
brought the problem Of transporta-
ton to their, attention and urged that
some carriers less expensive than

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsifed coeoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaselsss)' and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub Il IN. II makes an abundance of
rich creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly. and
IL leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der Of the family for months.-Adyt.
