KENTUCKY TURNING
FROM WILSON AND
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
People For America First Robson
Says-SOuth Is Looking to
Republicans.

Washington, September 22.-Declar-
ing that the voters of Kentucky are
still incensed over the letter Of Presi-
dent Wilson, written last year, urging
the country to elect Democratic Con-
gress, and that Kentucky business
men are thoroughly disguised with
Democratic recklessness and waste,
Representative John M. Robson, of
that State, predicts that the entire Re-
publican State ticket will be elected
at the forthcoming elections in the
Blue Grass State.
Judge Robson has recently returned
from his home and makes the follow
ing statement concerning political
conditions in Kentucky:
1.-THE Republican party in Kentucky
is in better shape today than ever be-
fore in its history. There is absolute
ly no discord. The party Is united,
and there is the greatest enthusiasm
over the approaching election at which
it is confidentially believed, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, Ed
win P. Morrow, will be elected, to-
gether with the entire Republican
ticket.
There are man elements contribut-
ing to the great advance in Republican
strength in Kentucky. The Republic
cans have made their campaign prin-
cipally on local issues.
1.-THE Democrats have made the mis-
take of insisting upon national issues,
with the national administration as
the center of debate, which as evil
denced by the election of King Swope,
a Republican, in a Democratic Con-
eressional District, is very unpopular
in Kentucky. The voters, Republican
and Democratic alike, have plainly
expressed their opposition to keeping
American soldiers in Russia and else
where throughout the world.
81 believe the people of Kentucky
are more bitter, today, against the
Wilson letter Of last year demanding
I Democratic Congress-which he did
Mt get than they were at the time II
was written. Kentucky is largely pop.
ulated by Anglo-Saxons, and they
don't favor mixing up in the affairs
Of foreign nations. They are for Amer
lea first. Business men, too, feel thai
he present Administration represents
ecklessness and waste, and they be
lieve that the time for retrenchment
iuch as is now being insisted upon b!
he new Republican Congress, has ar
rived.
in the elections of 1915, Mr.. Stan
Icy, the Democratic candidate for Gov
arnor, was declared elected by ma
iority of only about 400 votes, owe
he present Republican candidate, MI
Morrow. There was widespread doub
as to the legality of his election, an
the slogan today Is Let's right tn
wrong of 1915 l believe the wron
will be righted in most convincin
manner, and in way that will have
tremendous influence in the nationa
elections of next year"

HUGE SUM IS
PAID KENTUCKIANS
BY UNCLE SAM
Kentucky Families Paid $26,O5s,s4O
Through War Risk Insurance
In World War.

Kentucky families are being paid
s26 .O53 $40 in War Risk Insurance
claims by Uncle Sam. He Is making
restitution to those whose sons and
husbands died in the service of their
country during the greatest war Of all
times.
There are 1881 insurance claims be-
ing paid in Kentucky through the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance to bene-
ficiaries named at the time application
for insurance was made by soldiers,
sailors and marines, now dead The
average policy carried by these 1881
men was $S,74O.
Disabled soldiers, as well as widows
and children and dependent parents OF
those who have died, are being made
comfortable by the government which
is paying 1856 compensation claims to
residents of Kentucky.
In addition to the insurance and
compensation claims now being paid
in Kentucky, there are 1895 of both
these classes Of claims under investi-
CATION. These cases, however, are
rapidly being adjusted following an
investigation by Bureau representa-
tives.
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
which administers these affairs, has
been established by the government as
permanent institution in recognition
of the services veterans of the World
War rendered their country.

able to carry as the result of this
act of an appreciative government VIII

Records in the Bureau show that

ner,- in which their full value has
been caught by the camera.
The story OF the young couple
who became estranged through the
husbands ceaseless quest OF gold
and the wife's equally persistent
search for affection, and the subse-
qrent developments in their lives
and final reconciliation is too well
known to need =recs pitulation at this
time. Ii is sufficient TO remind dis
eliminating patrons of the silent
drama that the narrative whiCn
''Nirtuous' Wives unfolds is one of
intense interest and strength. Mr.
johnson draws truly, sometimes in
broad strokes. and when necessary
to drive home his point calls a
spade a spade-a contribUtOTy ele-
ment in the potency of drama that
First Nationals perturbation of the
story admirably sustains.
Particularly noteworthy is the
scene depicting the cave-mans ball
given by the exclusive coterie OF
very rich concerned in the develop
ment of the plot as a means OF miti-
eating the ennui that is said to bur
