Since April 6, 1916 the hopes of
civilization have been centered on
America. From the first we felt
this trust & with confidence took
up the obligation Of honor.
Our sons, clad in the "whole ar
NOR of the truth, went out like
the shining Galabhad to do battle.
We justified all confidence plac-
ed with us. and through the ideals
Implanted by democracy we were
able to conquer the red dragon
Of "efficent barbarism.
America fought as one. AS one
she supported the highest hopes.
AS one she must continued to
stand. for the time of test has ar
rived. The theory Of democracy
is in the balance. United we
standardized we fall has never
before been more poignantlv true
It is time when the winds Of
divided purposes and counter
courses invite disaster.
The eyes Of the world are on
us.
The shadowy menace Of Bolshe
vlsm lowers over the unfortunate
victims Of the retroaction Of war.
The success Of the Victory Lib
elty Loan means the dissipation

We would suggest to these eX-
cellent missionaries that having
worked this reformation IN heath
en- lands they would find worlds
to conquer in America. The field
is different one, but it exists.
Who has not been driven almost

found wads Of gum p1astered upon

We submit that the comfort
and spirituality of the people OF
this country would be much en-
HANGED if the missionaries would
labor here to curb the zeal and
dexterity Of the. gum-chewers. AS
they have met one problem effect

them to hope carry this state
next year for the Republican
presidential nominee, and also to
elect a Republican Senator. The
showing made by Mr.. Morrow
will undoubtedly enable Mr..
Hert and the Republican candi-
date for Senator to secure all of
the financial assistance that can
possibly be used in Kentucky
next year.
Democrats will be very foolish
to fail to recognize the fact that
they have a very difficult situs-
ton before them. There is of
course the possibility that con-
siderable proportion of the local
factors effective for Mr.. Morrow
this year can be employed quite
as effectively in the contest of
next year. 1t will probably re-
quire a complete reorganization
of the Democratic party and the
development of a new leadership
to prevent a year hence the rep
etition of Tuesdays result.

New York situation are taken
into consideration it does not
seem possible to attach any sig
nificance, so far as national af-
fairs are concerned, to the New
York results.
The growth of Socialism in
New York is evidenced, howev-
er. by vote of more than 10O,-
900 for the Socialist candidate
for president of the board of
aldermen, and by Socialist gains
in the election OF aldermen and
state assemblymen.
Republicans at Washington
were looking to the Kentucky re-
suit as likely to be the most sig
uifcant respecting national pol
itics. They were prepared to
accept whatever might happen
in the other states holding cleo.
tions as without influence in
national affairs. They recogniz-
ed the purely local character of
these other contests. But they
were prepared to hail a victory
in Kentucky as hopeful sign
for next year. 1t must be ac-
knoWledged, too, that they have
more reason to be encouraged by
the Kentucky vote than by the
vote in any other state. Those
who are familiar with conditions
in Kentucky know that local af-
fairs with no direct relation to
national politics were the more
factors in the result.
1t is nevertheless true that the
Republicans have a very much
better chance to carry Kentucky
for a Republican electoral ticket
next year than they would have
had if Black had been elected.
The result undoubtedly entities

HEADS TO DROP IN TIE BASKET

A correspondent at Frankfort
writes as follows of positions now
filled by Democrats that will soon
be occupied by Republicans:
Three members of the State Tax
Commission, five members of the
State Board of Control. Confed-
crate Pension C Commissioners, Com.
missioner of Forestry and Cecil
ogy, State Geologist, three mem
bers of the Workmen's Compensa-
ton Board. Superintendent of
Printing and members of various
State boards have been appoint
de by the Governor since the last
session of the General Assembly,
and therefore still lack confirma-
ton by the Senate.

GOV. BLACK.

He gives the following reasons
for his!defeat:
The wet counties of the State
voted against me because l was
a dry man and stood for and adj
vocated prohibition.
Second, The pro- German ele-
ment was against me because of
their hatred for the President
and my advocacy of the adoption
of the Peace Treaty.
Third, Because l did not re-
move some of SANKEY'S ap,
pointees without law for so do
ing.
Fourth, The Armstrong affair
came on the eve of the election,
to do me an injury unjustly.
Fifth, The action of the Pres
ident with reference to the strik,
ing miners lost me thousands of
votes, as a dirty circular was
distributed among the miners
which claimed / was against
them.

In New Jersey, where there

In New Jersey, where there
is even a more radical political
change than in Kentucky, the
result is to be attributed mainly
to local conditions, mainly to
the fact that the anti-prohibi-
ton forces are dissatisfied with
the existing Republican admin
istration and therefore threw
their full support to the Demo-
cratic ticket.
In Massachusetts, Governor
Coolidge has won, mainly on a
law and order platform. Both
R epublican and Democratic state
platforms in Massachusetts were
antagonistic to the peace treaty.
There was really no issue be-
tween the two parties on this
question, since their platforms
were practically the same and
since Senator Lodges.and Senator
Walsh have voted together on
nearly every test vote affec ting
the treaty. 1t is to the credit of
Massachusetts, that she has re-
elected a governor who had the
courage to break up the Boston
police union and to establish the
principle that a police officer
must at all times be a servant of
the state, an officer of the law,
and that he is not to be permit
ted TO set up an organization
claiming an allegiance superior
to that he owes the state. It
would have been a national Ca
lamity for Massachusetts to have
done otherwise than elect Gov
ernor Coolidge, under the cir
cumstances.
In New York, Tammay has
suffered a defeat. But Tammany
is not the Democratic party;
Tammany is merely an aggrega-
ton of politicians existing not to
enforce any particular set of
principles OF policies. but to con-
troll and distribute the spoils of
power. Mr.. Murphy declined to
renominate certain judges with
clean and satisfactory records,
and these men have been taken
up by Republicans and Independ-
ents and retained in their posi-
tions. The Hearts newspapers
have for some time made a Bit
ter fight on Governor Smith, and
this led to aggressive opposition
to the whole Tsmmany ticket by
the Hearst papers. When all of
these different angles Of the

THE ELECTIONS MAINLY LOCAL
Lexington Herald.

The elections of Tuesday were
without exception local in char
acter. No member of the House
of Representatives or of the Sen
ate was chosen. National is
sues were therefore only indi-
rectly involved. A fair analysis
of the returns reveals o. little
indicative of a trend of public
opinion respecting national af-
fairs. However, it must be ac-
knowledged that if the elections
have any such significance they
show a trend toward the Repub-
lican view.
In Kentucky the Republicans
have won more decisively than
ever before. Mr.. Hert, who is
the head and front of the Repub-
kean organization IN this State,
attributes the result entirely to
local conditions. Even a slight
review of the returns will tend
to confirm Mr.. Hert's opinion.
However, the Republicans, are
in position, if they so desire, to
claim the result in Kentucky as
a reputation of the Presidents
plans for the settlement of the
issues of the war. The Demo-
cratic platform endorsed the
peace treaty and called for its
ratification without amendments
or reservation. The Republican
platform was silent on this sub
ject, but many Republican cam
paign orators vigorously assailed
the treaty. 1t is plain that Ken,
lucky Democrats who voted for
Morrow, if they did not intend
thereby to express condemna-
ton of the treaty, were more
concerned for the expression Of
their own ideas and purposes re-
speeding local affairs than they
were for the fate of the treaty.
