LATEST ON ELECTION

Louisvilel, KY, August A, $3.50 P. M.
Both the Times and the Post today
say that VIM. H. Shanks, of Stanford
has defeated r. G. Oldham, of Win
chester, for the Democratic nominal
ton for lieutenant governor. Neither
gives figures. Shanks' friends say his
majority will be over 1000, while
Oldham is claiming that belated re-
turns will show him winner. Other
winners in the state primary are: for
Auditor, Henry Bosworth; for secre-
tary of state, Mat Cohen; for commits
sioner of agriculture John W. New
man; these are certain winners and
these seem to be Goodman for clerk
of the court of appeals; Foster for
superintendent of schools and Daugh-
erty for attorney general.

Black Carries County BY 1896
Votes-Shanks Also Ahead
and Collins Wins

AS was expected on all sides
Gov. James D. Black swept
Madison county from stem to
stern in the Democratic state
primary Saturday. His purality
over Judge John D. Carroll, the
contending candidate was 1896
Col. P. J. Noel only received "a
votes in the county. Black s
total vote was 1909, to 313 for
Carroll. f
The vote in the primary was
very light. and lust a lite over
SO per cent of the Democrats of
Madison county went to the polls
Interest in the contest for the
Lieutenant governorship was
just as keen as in the governors
race owing to the fact that Col.
r. c. Oldham is a native Of this
county and Hon. w. H. Shanks
married here and his mother was
born here. Complete returns
from all precincts of the county
show that Shanks carried Madi-
son by majority of 29o votes
over Oldham. Other state cam
didates who carried Madison
were Mat Cohen for secretary of
state !; Henry Bosworth for audi
tor; Ryland c. Musick for at
torney general; J. A. Goodman
for clerk of Court of Appeals f.;
J. w. Newman for commissioner
Of agriculture.
1 There was keen interest in the
Democratic nomination for Rep
resentative from Madison, and
not until the last, precincts we're
finally in was it absolutely set
tied, although Tom Collins, who
is. the winner, showed much
strength in the country precincts.

ballard wins -
| / FROM G. B. M00RES

The republican machine got in
its work nicely in its state and
county primary Saturday and
Dawson carried Madison for At
torney General over Jolly, and
Leonard Ballard defeated g. B.
Moores,. whom the republican
leaders were afraid to renomin-
ate on account of his vote for the
State Tax Commission. in the
session of the General Assembly
in which he served "a nyt<3 .
The republican leaders and
voters paid more attention to the
special congressional race than
they did to the primary, however.
and they "got the grapes by do
ing so. The race in the primary
between Kash and Eversole. was
rather close, Eversole carrying
the county by vote of 6O6 to
534.
For Attorney General, Charles
Dawson's vote was $50 to 40 for
George w. Jolly, the insurgent.
Leonard Ballard won by a vote
of 97o to 362 over Mr.. Moores.
This vote includes all of the
county except Newly precinct
the stub books of which had not
been returned to the County
Clerks office by noon Monday.

same work in Christian county
with about 20 farmers growing
dark tobacco. At the end of the
present season these men will
have data which will be of tre-
mendous value to growers 3of the

|SWOPE EASILY
DEFEATS HARDIN
All Politicians Taken By Surprise
By Result In Eighth Con-
gressional District

Although old Madison did he'
part and held down the republi.
can majority to only 145,T which i:
Just about normal, other counties
in the Eighth congressional dis
trct "fell down miserably anc
Judge Charles A. Hardin, demo
crat, was defeated for Congress
to fill the vacancy caused by Har-
vey Helms death, by Capt. King
Swope, by a majority that will
reach close to 1,500.
| The result Of this race came as
a complete surprise; to republi-
cans no less than democrats. Ev-
eryone seemed to think that
Judge Hardin's election was a
certainty; he thought so, too, for
he declined assistance from
Washington.
Judge Hardin appears to have
lost his race in his own judicial
district, composed of the counties
of Lincoln, Boyle, Garrard and
Mercer, where he was supposed
to be exceptionally strong. He
lost Lincoln by 1868, and should
have carried it by 500; Garrard
by $50; carried Mercer by only
AZ, when it ought to have given
400 democratic majority, and car
ried Boyle by about $50 when it
should have gone 400. Shelby
county barely went democratic
by Us, when it's majority has
gone as high as 1000. ss.
Everyone is seeking the reason
for this complete somersault of
the 9Th which has always been
considered reliably democratic.
Few are inclined to think that the
soldier vote is responsible, for the
soldiers showed when Col, Den
hardt was running for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor,
that they are taking little inter
est in politics. Many including
republican leaders saytthat, Judge
Hardin's close personal and polit-
ica1 relations with Senator A. O,
Stanley were mainly responsible
for his defeat. Capt. Swope made
much campaign material out of
this, and it may have had its ef-
feet. Others say that it was
political error to have the special
congressional election on the
same day, as the state primary.
The republicans voted out al,
most their full strength in the
congressional election, but hay
ing few contests in their primary
paid little attention to it. On the
other hand, the democrats seem.
ed more interested in the pri-
mary. "t ~
Anyway it is a great shock and
will give the political wiseacres
something to ponder over for
sometime to come. = y "A -,.,.

SPEEDERS ON JOB IN
HEART OF CITY, TOO

aug. Z, l9l9'
Richmond Daily Register,
City. '
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Your article is issue OF July 2o,
under heading "Auto traffic laws
to be rigidly enforced coud Mot
help but attract attention.
1t seems certain from ex-
preSsions of opinion that we hear,
that at least large majority OF
our citizens would recommend
the enforcement of Our Auto
Traffic Laws, or any other avs,
that would put stop to the
reckless speeding which goes on.
Your article says that great
many complaints have been made
regarding speeding on the out
skirts of Richmond, and that
traffic officers will be placed on
the outskirts of the city, and So
forth.
Of. course, there can be no OBJ
lection to protecting the resi-
dents of the outskirts, but doubt
less, many Of those who speed on
the outskirts, are also those who
speed on Main street at the corn
er of Collins, and on Second
street, at the corner Of Water,
both of which are dangerous
intersections.
7 1t would not be necessary for
any one really desiring informa-
ton regarding speeding, to put
on green whiskers, a slouch hat,
and a long overcoat, and stand in
a deep shadow to get the infor-
nation needed. They could take
a seat in front of Councilman
Golden's shop, or under the shade
of Mr.. Arthur Todd's porch, with
assurance if there were any
automobiles running at all, that
they would get plenty of material
to work on.
Yours truly,
