VIGOROUS CARD
TO VOTERS 18TH KENTUCKY
SENATORIAL DISTRICT:

SENATORIAL DISTRICT:
I am a candidate for State sena-
tor. subject to Democratic primary
am for submitting constitutional
amendment for state wide prohibition
and so voted in the 1914 Legislature
and voted for a county option bill in
1898 when a member OF that Legisla-
turc. will work and vote for said
amendment when submitted and am
for nation wide prohibition. am
against the bill submitted by the
state Tax Commission because II will
place greater burdens upon lands
and create many new Offices which II
has done. am for curtailment of
state expenses by abolishing many
superfluous state Offices. am for a
reduction in the pay of members
from SO to IS per day and so voted
in 1914 | am for remodeling the
Fish and Game law so as to permit
the farmer the laborer and poor
boys after a hard days work to cast
their nets into the streams like the
Disciples and get mess of fish. | am
for remodeling the road law so as to
permit the expenditure of state aid
money on the side pixies so that the
farmer. laborer and boys in remote
sections may have good road to go
to church. to school and the county
seat. am for law that will with
draw the power of the courts to col
lect a note, bond or stock where II
has not been listed for taxation. am
for law that will release from taxes
the amount a land owner may owe
on the deferred purchase price on
land and let the holder of the mort
gage pay on the deferred payments.
Neither of my opponents proposes
any remedial legislation. Do you al
ways want to be hewers of wood and
drawers OF water? These are ques-
tons of vital importance to you.
Think about them and discuss them
with your neighbor and then vote for
man who submits remedy for
yours and the states ills and how he
proposes to remedy them. My oppo-
nents in their cards of announcement
are silent upon these important ques-
tions, one claiming your support on
"it's Boyle county's time" and the
other that he reduced the salary of
the State Tax Commission to less
than ten dollars per day and not his
own salary a cent. but he found
time to discover "the good saloon
keeper and move to release him
from the penalties OF the law for run
ming an open saloon on Sunday and
further wanted to make the person
who swOre out a warrant for Sunday
violation give a heavy bond. A COM
mittee of astute politicians from
Frankfort and Mayfield have sought
to aid Mr.. Kaufman because Of his
antipathy TO Gov. Stanley. one Of
these made the proposition to get be-
hind me and furnish money If
would agree TO help organize the Leg
islature in opposition to Gov. Stan
ley and build up a political machine
in the state opposed to him. declin-
ed, saying that if you intrusted me
with your commission | would not be
a party to try to discredit Gov. Stan
ley's administration or to build up a
political machine in the state for any
one; that the state had already suf-
fered too much from this practice.
| belong to neither Of these factions,
hence will be in a better position to
render you and the state a better SER
vice. The presumption is that Mr..
Kaufman has agreed TO do their bid
ding and bring discredit upon a DEM
ocratic administration. Mr.. Kauff-
man accepted a trust from the peo-
pie and instead of being true to that
trust and trying TO lower your taxes,
used his time and influence to pro-
tect the good saloon-keeper" from
punishment for running his saloon
wide open on Sunday, thereby maxi
ing the Lords Day day of drunken
ness and debauchery. When | exposed
his duplicity and deception at Hus-
tonville he replied that the court of
appeals had reviewed the 1916 act
and decided according to his views.
This is not true, for | have a letter
from a member of that court, saying
that it had never been before the
court. Here was employed evasion,
duplicity and falsehood by him
this good friend Of the good saloon
keeper" Again to show the great in
terest and apostleship he has in
state wide prohibition he recently in
Garrard county toured the county in
an auto and distributed money and
whisky to debauch and dishonor the
voter and in the interest Of a certain
aapdilatp I may name LATER He
