A two per cent gross production tax
will yield in taxes more during 1917
than 3 per cent in 1916 This being
fact why should the oil industry be

The reduction of the 3 per cent tax

Now think | am the one to win
and | think you ought to consider
us and help us to have one officer
from our end of the county one
time. If we are going to keep
just a few men in Office, it is dis
heartening to our boys to educate
themselves, and then have to
wait until some one dies to get an
Office. | made a start in this
race seven yerrs ago and my OPP
ponents and friends asked me to
step down and out and help them
and | did so. now they are ask
ing me to quit the race and help
them again, now l think some of
my opponents ought to get out of
my way and help me. | think
they ought to. but this is free
thing for every man. But voters
please look at the principle of the
thing, and help me to win this
race, and / will greatly appreci
a;e your kind favor. do many
kind favors for you if elected.
Women please ask your husbands
to vote for me. Young ladies'
please ask your sweethearts to
vote for me.
My intentions are to see every
man at his own home and shake
hands with him before August
the 4th, 1917. Lewis and Mitch.
ell are fighting each other now
as if there was no one else in the
race but them; but they will find
out that there is some one else
in the race, they are both losing
now, there are many saying that
they ought to stand back and let
a man have an Office that has
never had one, and / hope that
the people will pick me up and
elect me, and will pay you all
back in kind favors, the people
say am gaining votes every day
Mitchell says let him stay he
knows how to take care of the
Jail. | guess he had to learn, and
if am elected the lucky man
can learn as good as he did and |
know | would feed Door women,
children and men when they had
to be in town on business, and he
never has done that since he has
been in office. Men get busy and
look out for your own and your
neighborS interest, and for the
interest of your county that is
one thing that we should all look |
out for and pick the best man to !
serve us. Inever mistreated any

To the People of Knox County:

To the People of Knox County:
am a candidate for the nomi-
nation for Jailer of Knox County
on the Republican ticket. was
the first one out in the race; |
declared myself a candidate more
than two years ago. | have been
a life long Republican, | never
change my ticket. While ! have
nothing to say about the other
parties and | have no people much
in this County, my father is
dead but seemingly | have a host
of good friends: they tell me they
will stand by me, and believe
they will. thiak that it is time
for us to have one officer from
our end of the county, none of
my people have ever held an Of
flee in this county.
Should it be the will of the
voters of Knox County, to elect
me to this Office | will always ap-
preciate their kindness, and if |
should be defeated | will be the
same man, but | will say one thing
that if / am elected. | will not do
as some have done. my doors
will be standing open and all are
welcome.
If nominated and elected | will
fully discharge all my duties and
treat you all so kind and good
you will never regret having vot-
ed for Blevins. | am a friend to
every one and respect the labor
ing man for | am one myself.
| own a small farm and labor for
support. | have some mother
less children, not even q STEP
mother to help me raise them.
Again | say should it be the will
of the people to help me win this
race | will thank them. | need
the proceeds of the Office; ! would
like to put my little children in
school, you all help me and | will
help you by being kind to you
and treating you with respect, if
elected, when you come to town
| think | am in this race heavy
and have good chance to win.
There is no one in this end of the
county but myself, any nearer
than Barbourville running for
this office. My neighbors are all
for me, in fact all of the lower
end of the county and Big Rich
land are for me, and | will get
a good vote in Barbourville. Il
have been coal miner a part of
my life and where | strike the
miner | will get a good vote, and
/ will get a scattering vote all
over the county. and there is no
reason why | haven't a good
chance to win. There are two of
my opponents who have had Of
flee, men who Ihave helped and
now they are opposing me, |
guess they think because the good
hearted people of Knox County
gave them a good thing, that the
people must keep them in Office
the remainder of their days.
Now voters please take this to
heart and think it over and see
or not you will keep
one man in office all his life, or
will we let some other good man
IN. While there are good men in
office there are just as good men
who have never been in Office.

Patriotism Stunning.

Last Friday night the faculty
end students of Union College
came out on the streets of the
city with the college band playing
patriotic airs and started the fires
of patriotism burning in every
bosom in the city.
On Saturday night it was re-
peated. Not by the college peo-
pie alone. bit the college band
and Red Mems band consolidated
and the largest parade ever
formed in this city started from
the Public Square marching up
Main street to Manchester street.
From Manchester street the par
ade came down College avenue
to Knox street and thence to the
Public Square.
This parade was, made up of
people from every walk of life.
There was the old and the young,
the rich and the poor, the halt
and the lame, all feeling that
their country needed their assist
auce. There was no politics
shown, the democrat and the re.
publican walked arm in arm.
Everybody carried flags and
seemed that every throat was
trying to do its best to Guido its
neighbor who was making all the
fuss possible.
The time has come when we
must put down all political feel
ings and stand for one country.
one flag and one cause. This is
not the time to talk politics.
Woodrow Wilson is the President
of all the people and every true
American will stand by him in all
his actions.
Those who would ridicule any
action of the President at this
time are certainly standing in
their own light. The time has
come when all must watch their
words. The German people who
are Americans by birth or adop-
ton will stand b. the United
States against any foreign foe. !
If he should show disloyalty he
will be placed whore he should .
be, where he will 90 no harm.
The demonstration last Satur-
day night was most encouraging.
The time has come when men
will not stand for any further
disregard for personal rights and
the lives and property of the
American people. We hope the
demonstration that took place
last Saturday night will be re-
peated. and that others who did
not join in the parade then will
be in line next time. Let us
show to the world that we are
true Americans: true to our
country, our flag and ourselves.
