WHAT BLACK LEFT OUT.

In his opening speech of the cam
paign at Hopkinsville, Saturday, Sept
goth Gov. Black presented some
comparative figures on the receipts
and expenditures of the State since
Gov. Wilson's (Republican) admins
tration entered office in January
1908, up to June 80, 1911.
Gov. Black stated that the gross
expenditures for the first three and
one-half years of Gov. Wilson's term
amounted to $24,727,5O4. But Gov
Black, either through ignorance or
misinformation, did not state that
the very first day the Wilson admin
istration was in office it was forced
to pay out 81 ,339,234, which was con-
tracted by and should have been paid
by the Democratic administration, in.
mediately preceding.
OF this enormous sum, nearly one
million dollars (S934,935,45 to be
exact was in warrants due to the
the state for two morth's back salary.
The balance, S404,34S.53 was made
mp of audited claims and Outstandine
warrants due prior to January g.,
1903 and should have been paid by
the outgoing Democratic administra-
tiOr.
CT no
administration contributed to tho
present state debt, $2,235,011. He
neglected to state, either through ig-
norance or misinformation, that the
Republicans paid the sum of $1,339,-
2S4. as enumerated above, which sum
was past due and should have been
plid by the Democratic administration
Immediately preceding. 1t is diff
cult to understand how a man aspir-
ing to the high office of Governor of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky could
be so lax in his efforts to secure real
and established facts. Probably the
figures were furnished to him by some
designing person and doubtless he
will hasten to explain these further
facts, as shown by the records.
Gov. Black also stated that the out
standing warrants at the end of the
three and one-half years of the Will
son administration amounted to ST.
416,4S9. 1t should have been stated.
also, that the Wilson administration
made great strides from the time
named (the fiscal year ending June
30, 1911) to the end of the admins
tration, (January 1922 for during
that six months the Wilson admins
tration paid $4,000 of the $1,416,-
4S9, leaving warrants outstanding for
the Democratic administration follow
ing of only $560,4S9.

NEW SONG FOR KENTUCKY.

"Morrow's the Man is the title OF a
new song being sung throughout Ken
lucky. The words and music are by
Marry 4. Myers and the song is copy
fshted and published by the Zoeller
Music Co., of Louisville. The song
follows:
Like brave Kentucky pioneer,
Those knights in old buckskn
Who followed the ylslon-granted quest
of
George Rogers Clark and kin.
He's standing firm on his platform
Which we know Is staunch and true
So put your shoulder to. the wheel,
boys,
And help him put II through.
CHORUS:
Morrow. Morrow,
The man of the day.
He's the man for Governor,
Hip, hip, hurrah.
Wen all be mighty lucky
Down here in old Kentucky

And Morrow's the man.
