TIDE IS RUNNING
AGAINST DEMOCRATS
THROUGHOUT STATE
Is Opinion Of Prominent Democrat,
Who Adds That Its His Opinion
That Morrow VIII Defeat
Any Candidate.

In his Kentucky political column in
yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer, Tom
Cromwell says:
Among the numerous things said
and written to this correspondent dur
ing the week by those who follow the
political trend was this, penned at the
bottom Of letter by a Democrat of
high standing, whose name Is not
given because fellows Of his party
might be angry enough to charge him
with heresy.
81 might add that the tide is run
ming strongly against the Democrats
in this state, and, in my humble judg-
ment, Ed Morrow probably will beat
any who may be nominated"
The man who wrote that isn't hold
ing Office and isn't aspiring to office,
but he has his finger on the pulse Of
the people. He is in position to
know much more accurately what is
in the minds of the voters than are
those who are holding Office and hop
ing to continue to hold office. 1t should
not be lightly regarded by gentlemen
with ambitions to sit under the big
dome at Frankfort for it isn't at all
after the manner of quotation from
the Calvert City Times, the late Col
onel Jim Lemons mythical print.
1t may be that General Percy Haly,
who has been in Kentucky some eight
days without disclosing whether or
not he will respond to the call of his
friends in the Democratic Forward
League to enter the race for the CUB
ernatorial nomination, has sensed
something of the sort. If he has, 1t
is good betting that he will put his
ambition on the shelf, just as he did
four years ago.

DID NOT keep HIS
PROMISE TO COURT;
GETS HEAVY fine
Louis ROmine Arrested In January
For Vagrancy Under New State
Statute Falls to Report to
Chief of Police and Gets
Stiff Sentence.

Louis Romine, who live in the
Sixth Ward, was given fine Of fifty
dollars and Jail sentence Of sixty
days by Police Judge John l.. Whit
aker in Police Court this afternoon
on charge Of vagrancy.
! 1t will be remembered that during
January Romine was arrested on COM
plant that he did not work and sup
port his wife. At that time the court
said he was fully satisfied that Ro-
mine was vagrant but he gave him
another chance and told him that il he
would obtain work Immediately and
report to Chief Ort each week giving
the hours put in at work, the money
he made and the amount he gave his
wife, he would release him. To this
Romine promised but he reported only
once.
Other complaints came in and he
was again arrested. Since the trial in
January the stork has visited Ro-
mines home and his wife and baby
have been cared for by her father and
mother. This, together with the fact
that he had failed to keep his promise
to the court, seemed to get on Judge
Whitaker's nerves for after reading
the statute carefully and considering
the case we'll, he assessed fine of
fifty dollars and costs against the man
and added sixty day Jail sentence
which under the statute must be
worked out at hard labor

BODY PIERCED BY
HUN BULLET IN LAST
BIG DRIVE OF war
First Maysvllle Man to Volunteer In
Army After War Was Declared
Returns After Having Seen
Seven Months at the
Front Bearing Mark
Of Hun Bullet.

James McCown, who came to Mays
vile with Mr.. Maurice Ginsburg and
established dry cleaning plant IN
lower Market street, remained here
but short time for in about two
months after he came to Maysville, the
United States declared war with Ger
many and in three days after this de-
claration, Mr.. MCGOWAN volunteered
and was assigned to the Coast Artil-
lery. He soon was elevated to the
rank Of Corporal and with General
Pershing's original crusaders left New
York on November 4th, 1917. This first
contingent of American troops ar
rived in Liverpool, England on mol
vembsr 18th and moved on to Bor-
deau1, France, on November 26th. He
returned to the United States on Feb
ruary 4th and was discharged at Camp
Taylor arriving in Maysville Sunday
evening.
Corporal MCGOWAN probably saw
more active service at the front than
any other Maysville man except per-
haps, James Brown, who is still In
France, he having sailed for Europe at
the same time as Mr.. MCGOWAN.
Corporal MCGOWAN saw active SER
vice on the Boncourt front from April
14th to July End; on the various fronts
in the Argonne sector from July 7th
to July 29th and on the Thiacourt
front from September 4th until No
vember 18th, the date of the signing
Of the armistice. He was in the great
Mt. Sect drive and his bridgade.-the
3Oth-was joined in this drive by the
2Sth Infantry to which outfit James
Brown, belonged. He did not know
that Brown was member of the 18th
or that there was any Maysville man
in the charge.
He suffered no illness during his en-
llstment and was not injured until In
the last drive in the st. Mihiel sector
when a German bullet passed entire
ly through his body. Corporal Nc
Cowan was in the Allied parade when
it marched victoriously into Metz and
has many interesting stories to tell Of
his experiences in Europe.
This was his second enlistment
having served in the regular army for
term prior to the war. He received
his discharge from this service in 1913
He is loud in his praise of the
splendid work done on the battlefeldi

'sGRAvE
NFRANCE,WAR
Department SAYS
Aberdeen Marine Who Had Not Been
Heard From BY His Folks For
Several Months Is Reported
Killed BY Army Officials.

Several months ago Mrs. Anna
Small, Of Aberdeen, received tele-
gram from the War Department an
nounclng that her son, Private Harry
Small, of the U. s. Marines, had been
severely wounded in action. He was
the second man In this section to be
reported wounded in action, his report
shortly following that of Leslie Ar
thurs, the first Mason county man to-
give his life in the conflict. =
Nothing further was heard from the
War Department by Mrs. Small but in
several weeks she received letter
from her son telling her that he had
recovered from his wounds but had
suffered from being gassed. At the
time he wrote the letter he was in an
army hospital but was doing nicely
and expected soon to be out and in
the service again.
No other communications were re-
ceived by the family from Private
Small and an effort was made to have
the War Department make search
for him. This search seems to have
been futile for nothing was heard of It,
The American Red Cross was also ap-
pealed to by ths>felatives and they in
stiituted a search resulting in no in
formation being obtained.
Private Small's sister, a trained
nurse, enlisted in the service Of the
American Red Cross and made a trip
over France. She made diligent in
quiry in regard to her brother but was
never able to learn anything about
him and she returned to this country
some time ago.
Mrs. Small and her folks feared that
Harry suffering from gas was being
confined to some hospital but they did
not fear that he was dead for they
were certain that If he had. died, they
would have been advised by the Of
ficials. They were therefore greatly
surprised and grieved Sunday when
they received telegram from the War
Departaaent announcing that the
grave of Private Harry Small, U. s.
Marines, had been located IN France.
No other information was received but
the War Department promised that
more particulars and details would
soon follow.
Harry Small is we'll known In Mays
Vile, having been employed In local
printing offices for years. He was q
clever young chap and was one Of the
first to answer his country's call for
volunteers, being very anxious tc
see active service and he there
fore chose the Marines as the
branch of service. He was wounded
in the first real skirmish in which the
American troops took part and was
one of the American Marines which
turned the tide of the war at Chauteau
Thierry. 1t was in this great battle
that he was severely gassed and fol.
lowing this battle there was no trace
of his doings or whereabouts.
Mrs. Small has had more than her
share Of trouble and has the sympa-
thies of the entire community. Only
last week she buried a daughter and
grandson and this sad news burst in
upon her very Unexpectedly.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The govern.
