THE SHADOW OF AUGUSTUS.

The shadow of Augustus Owsley
Stanley hangs heavily over the hopes
of the Kentucky Democracy. 1t is
not the loss of the Senatorship that
is worrying the Democratic leaders.
They are reconciled to the defeat
of Mr.. Stanley, and accept the in
evitable. But it is the Stanley mill
stone dragging down at least three
Democratic Congressman and one
Judge of the Court of Appeals that
is giving cause for worry. And the
effect on the gubernatorial election
next year is another source of grave
concern. With the Democratic press
Apologize or Indifferent, and the min
listers and church assemblys openly
appealing to the voters to support
DR.. Bruner, the Democratic leaders
are in a panic. In their desperation
they sent Mr.. Stanley to Washington
to plead with the PRESIDENT to chance
his prestige with the Kentucky De-
mocracy by a real Endorsement of
their Senatorial candidate, but the
President was occupied with some
matters on the continent and has not
found time to give his attention to
Kentucky politics. They turned to
the despised negro voter. to beg his
humble aid in an hour of despair, but
the colored man in grasping the hand
of Esau recognized the voice of ia
cob, and would have none of it. Veri-
ly amid the appalling wreck the
Democratic leaders behold the fatal
shadow of Augustus Owsley Stanley
over it all.

At time when the Democratic
press. urban and rural, is ignoring
Mr.. Stanley's candidacy it is refresh
ing to find the jacksonville Hustler
coming editorially to the rescue of
the dead 'un. The Hustler refers to
the Governor as an ideal candidate.
Ideal to whom? Not TO the minis
ters and church people of the Full
ton Baptist Association; not TO the
Democratic press, most of which will
not mention his name in its editorial
columns; not to the public, which
displays no interest in his candidacy;
not to President Wilson who gave
him such perfunctory endorsement
that the Governor went to Washing
ton to ask him to amend it. Ideal,
perhaps to his ancient friends and
supporters, the liquor people. But
the Hustler grows positively funny
when it warns Democrats against over
confidence. Where, o, where is the
confidence" to say nothing of the
"over?" Do some of editor Glenn S
close kinsmen or near friends hold
office under the Governor?

THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
IN GRIP OF THE Flu

Washington, Oct. 15.-Spanish in
fluenza now has reached epidemic
proportions in practically every State
in the country and in only three has
it been reported as stationary, with
some improvement in the situation
in Massachusetts. In spite OF all
efforts by federal, state and local au-
thorities, the disease has spread rap
idly and the death toll has been high
in most parts of the nation.
I'm army camps the epidemic Is
subsiding, a further decrease in the
number of new cases being noted to-
day at the Office of the surgeon gen.
erai of the army. The total of cases
reported was 6,49S, a decrease of
.773 from yesterday. Pneumonia
cases were 1916, against 1888 the
day before. but the number of deaths
increased, being $50, against ZIG yes
terday.
Reports made public tonight by
the public health service show that
outside of Massachusetts the epidem-
ic is severe throughout New Eng
land. Not single state east of the
Mississippi is clear of the disease and
in nose of the coast states from
Maine to Florida conditions are SER
ious.

STANDS BY HIS GUNS.

The Louisville Times, which along
with the other Louisville, and most
other Democratic newspapers of the
State stood solidly in demanding a
primary or a convention to nominate
a candidate for United States Sena-
tor, following the death of Senator
James, still defends its position TAX
en- then. In the following question
and answer, appearing in the Times
of October 10, the Times makes it
clear that there was nothing in the
situation TO prevent primary or a
convention being called, had Mr..
Stanley's ofIice-holding committee
been willing to take the risk Of the
defeat OF its candidate:
Q.-Please state, and give reasons
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-10-18

Our good neighbor, the Herald,
misquotes us. 1t says we are writ
ing political editorials. We are do
ing nothing of the kind We did
mention some of the reasons why we
thought Governor Stanley should not
go to the Senate, but they were not
political. The statewide prohibit
ton amendment will be voted on next
year. We don't know what position
the Herald will take on that ques-
ton, but we are going to whole
heartedly support it. We want 1t
to carry, but if Kentucky sends the
chief advocate of the liquor interests
to the Senate this year does not the
Herald know the chances of voting
Kentucky dry next year would be
seriously endangered. We refer our
neighbor to the resolutions passed
by the Baptist Association at Fulton,
published elsewhere in this paper.
There isn't any politics in this Sem
atorial race. 1t is, because of the
public records of the candidates,
wet and dry race. Which side are
you on?

While devoting its energies on the
fourth page to winning the war and
upbraiding The Republican for men
tioning politics, the Hartford Herald
on its first page carries the eccentric
Norman Hapgood's dire predictions
as to what would happen If the Re-
publicans were to elect the Congress
"A sort of not letting the right hand
know what the left hand is doing,
as it were. The Herald prints with
evident approval Hapgood's indict-
ment of the American voters, who he
says are incapable of thinking. Hap
good charitably admits, in the article
the Herald becomes responsible for
by reproducing, that possibly one
man i'm ten may think a little. Demo-
cratic papers in closer touch with
their political leaders have cut out
the policy of charging wholesale dis
loyalty to the Republican party, and
the Herald had TO go to the super
Tor Hapgood TO get its bloody thun-
der. Why should the Hun find COM
fort in a Republican victory? Does
he not know that Republican mem
bers of Congress have stood more
sOlidly behind the President than
have the members OF his own party?
Does the Hun not know how major
ity leader Kitchen and Speaker Clark
voted on the draft law? We no not

CHURCHMEN OPPOSE STANLEY

The West Kentucky Baptist Asso-
citation, composed of churches in
four counties, representing con-
stituency of over four thousand, in
session at Fulton. KY, last week
unanimously passed the following re-
solution.
There is no issue of such tremen-
deus importance to the world today
as prohibition" the resolution reads.
"Baptists should pray and then vote
as they pray"
I'VE have the right to demand OF
our political parties that they offer
candidates for whom good citizens
may vote. The issue is squarely before
Baptists whether we shall support a
party or a principle. The Democratic
State Central Committee has dared
violate the pleasure of 80 per cent
of the territory and a large majority
of citizens"
1--WE resolve that whatsoever party
we may be identified with that party
must have a man worthy of support
THAT we. as a representative body
of Baptists make 1t a point religious
ly to go to the poles next November
and register our objections to the
dangerous enemy"
"And that we go on record as
Christian gentlemen that we will OBJ
literate party lines in favor of so
great a principle"
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-10-18

why. IL the Democratic State Commit
tee could have called convention to
nominate a United States Senator
when Gov. Stanley was nominated?
Could a primary election have been
held disregarding the absent soldier
vote? | am not asking about
question of wisdom or policy. but le-
gality. NJ. AND d.
A convention could have been
called because the law would have
allowed it. A primary could have
been called for the same reason.
There is no provision for absent
voters in a primary, so the soldier
vote has no bearing on the question.

high in army camps. and but for the

the present epidemic would have been
given only trining attention. Disease

For the first time in many years
an Ohio county citizen is candidate
for a great and responsible Office. Mr.
Heavrin is making the race for Judge
of the highest court in the State. 1t
is not a political Office. A Judge of
the Court of Appeals, if he is worthy
of the place, knows no party. 1t is
his duty to interpret the laws for
the government of all people. Mr.
Heavrin is capable, and should have
the support Of the people of his home
county. His opponent is an honor
able gentleman and a competent
Judge, but he has held the office for
sixteen years and now asks the peo-
pie to elect him for eight more years.
Life tenure in office is against the
spirit of the American people. Judge
Settle owed it to the people, as he
owed it to his party, to retire from
office at the expiration of his second
term. But like our good friends,
Ringo and Birkhead, the lure of of
flee was too strong, and was willing
to chance the defeat of his party to
crafty his greed for office. The mat
ter is in the peoples hands, and their
will is our will, but we believe it
would establish a dangerous preced-
en- to the best interest of Democratic
government to elect Judge Settle to a
third term of an eight year term
office. What do you think about
it?

! Washington. Oct. 15.-Internal po-
litical conditions in Germany and pos
sibly in Austria Hungary. as well as
the military situation on the western
front, are expected to determine the
nature and time of he German reply
to President Wilson's communication
of yesterday, definitely closing the
door to peace negotiations with Ger
man autocracy. The Presidents
note probably already has reached
Berlin through the Swiss Foreign Of
flee.
Reports reaching Washington to-
day through official sources by way of
neutral countries not only indicated
the existence of almost chaotic con-
ditions in the Central Powers, but
also said that it was Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg himself who was re-
sponsible for the German Government
accepting the Presidents peace terms
and seeking an immediate armis-
tice.
1t was said that at a recent meet
ing of the military leaders and the
heads of the parties in the Reichstag.
Won Hindenburg boldly declared that
Germany must have peace at once on
the best terms she could get. He said
the armies no longer had the neces-
sary munitions and materials to con
tinue the struggle. nor was there
any source of supply so far as he
was aware.
Max Opposed Plan.
In the light of this situation, the
Field Marshal said he felt the time
had come to try first for an armistice
and then for peace. and he urged that
this could be put in the light of a con-
cession to the demands of the social
list and pacifists ineGermany. Prince
Macmillan, the Chancellor, is re-
ported to have opposed strongly such
course, dreading a reaction against
the junker element by the socialists,
but imperial approval spreads among
them of the heavy defeats which the
German armies are sustaining.

of million refugees are making

Should the Germans. in retreating
from Belgium, seize the internal food
supply, consisting of crops now ready

sages said, would be serious. To
meet such a possibility the Relief
Commission has shipped 10000 tons
