Gregory a Sure Winner

1t is being conceded by the
friends of Ben II. Gregory that
he will be a sure winner for the
Republican nomination for the
office of County Court Clerk of
Knox County.
The people are demanding
clean, honest, sober and compe-
tent men for office. His moral
life is an open book to be inspect
ed by all who are concerned. We
have no fear that even his oppo-
nents will dare attempt attack it.
His educational qualifications are
equal to or superior to any one
asking for this office.
Ben, as he is called by his
friends, is the son of James A.
Gregory, who is well know in this
county, having taught school IN
many educational districts. He
is a staunch Republican, ready at
all times to work for the success
of the party.
At his earliest convenience he
expects to call upon every voter
personally and place his claim
before them for consideration
and solicit their support. 1t nomi-
mated and elected he assures the
people that he will faithfully per-
form the duties the people and
this office place upon him. ANY
given him in this race
will be greatly appreciated. adv

it he could not tell whether it

Have the people in the State
of Kentucky gone to sleep, or
maybe it would be better to ask
have they never awoke from the
sleep they were born in? All
these inspectors and all other
unnecessary officers of the State
are Democrats. They were put
there by a Democratic Governor
or one of his sub-ordinates.
Every law upon the Statues of
Kentucky was fathered by a !
Democrat; every one Of them
was made by a Democratic Leg
islature. Are they good laws?
Are they safe and sane laws? Do .
they do equal justice to the poor
and the rich? Are you satisfied /
with them? If you are. then it .
is alright. If you feel that a
State that is nearly four millions /
of dollars in debt, a State whose
claims and paper can not be sold /
on the money markets Of the
world at a discount of 10 per
cent when the State is paying 5
per cent on them, then you ought
to do your duty, be true to your
country, State and party, and
keep on voting the Democratic
ticket.
Do these political shysters
keep their promise? If they do,
why is it that Kentucky has
even one saloon where intoXicat-
ing liquors are sold? Do they do
as they promise? If so, why are
we so deeply in debt? Do they
keep US out of debt and lower
our taxes? If so, keep on voting
for them. Have they filled the

What of Politics?

We have, from time to time,
said much about the political sit.
uation in the United States as
well as the State of Kentucky.
Many surprises have been
sprung, and we have been made
to wonder what will happen
next.
We have in Knox county the
best Democrats to be found any
where in the world. In most part
they are gentlemen who want to
do right; they are conscientious
in their belief; they are entitled
to their belief. We do not re-
member whether it is in Holy
writ or not, but we heard a
preacher once say, believe a
lie and be damned. We don t
wantto accuse anyonecf wantonly
misrepresenting anything, but
we do want to ask a few ques-
tions. How many times have
you heard the orator, the candi-
date who possibly. when he de-
cides to run for some Office, could
not carry a speech in a basket.
that soon becomes a great orator,
stands up and tells you that if
you will vote for him he will see
that our taxes are reduced; that
he is for economy.
The fellow who tells you that
he will, if elected, make laws
for us, that he will vote for
lower taxes and for a more eco
nomical administration. Do they
keep their word? Do they vote
as they solemnly swore before
you they would? We say no. In
stead of voting for lower taxa
ton they have made it greater
at every mention Of the tax laws.
Instead Of lowering the taxes,
at every meeting Of the Repre-
sentatives they have made them
higher. If not directly, they
have done it indirectly, by Gre
ating new and worthless Offices
to be filled by appointment as
the Governor recommends in
order that his political pets may !
all have a share Of pie. In the
State Of kentucky we can not !
tan around for State officials. |
Some Of them are necessary; and !
do great deal for the State
each year. But the pie hunters
have found it out, and at each
meeting of the lawmakers there
are a dozen or more new offices
created.
In Kentucky we have Labor
INSPECTORS; they are a necessity. (
We have State Inspectors and
Examiners; they are a necessity,
and are usually men of high
character and standing, espec-
tally the present incumbents.
But while that is true, we have
Pig Pen Inspectors" called
health officers. Then there is
called a Concrete In
spector, and some of them, al
though the woods are full of
them, would not know a con-
crete block if he were to meet
one in the road.
Then there is the Hog In
Spector, the Cow Inspector, the
Seed Inspector, the Hotel In
Spector, the Fire Inspector, the :
Sheep Inspector, the Automobile ,,
Inspector, the Meat Inspector,
he Smoke Inspector and God '
llone only knows how many Il
,ther kinds of inspectors the ,
State of Kentucky is now feed a
