FRANKS is THE CHIEF BRAYER

Lexington, KY, May 14.-Ken-
tucky Republicans in convention here
Wednesday adopted a platform and
named ticket which they claim will
sweep the state in November. Aside
from lively tilt over whether the
present tax law should be endorsed
the big gathering was marked by
harmony.
Edwin P. Morrow, Somerset, in ac-
cepting in endorsement for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
prophesized a. landslide for his party
in the November election.
The convention was cut and dried
in every particular, and the program
as outlined weeks ago was put thru
without hitch.
E. 7. Franks, Owensboro, chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee, called the convention to
order promptly at o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. DR..
A. w. Fortine, of Pennsylvania Col
lege.
Mr.. Franks, in his opening speech,
predicted Republican victory in No
vember. He scored the present De-
mocratic administration, charging
that it has heaped taxes upon the tax
payers with a view of taking care
of more Democratic favotites in more
fat offices.
Incompetency and extravaganza
were charged against the National
Administration by Mr.. Franks. He
referred to the "Hog Island Ship
building scandal" and the "fzzle"
the government had made of its at
tempt to manage the railroads of the
"No one man can cover the mis-
,akes of Secretary BurlesOn in the
line allotted to me-" he said.
Judge B. ]. Bethurum, of Somer-
;et as temporary chairman, took the
'eins of the convention in hand at
o'clock and began by criticising the
administration of Gov. Stanley. He
said he had promised to do away with
he "Fire Putters Out" and to divorce
he charitable and penal institutions
rom politics, neither of which he had
lone.
Not a single candidate for the De-
nocratic nomination for Governor
las the courage to defend the pres
mt administration, Judge Bethurum
aid and declared that the pardoning
'ower in Kentucky had been out
aged.
The State Textbook Commission
ame in for criticism at the hands of
he speaker, who said that those who
ompose it are mere figure heads.
"Gov. Stanley, ex-officio chairman
# the commission, was present at its
essions," he said, "and with the
and of tyrant dominated and con-
rolled it."
Referring to the charge by Col. H.
1. Denhardt, Bowling Green, that
edwin P. Morrow was the hand-pick-
d" candidate of the Republicans for
Governor, Judge Bethurum said
would admit that Mr.. Morrow was
hand-picked," but not machine

The local tobacco market is now
open. Although the o. T, Burns
house had been receiving some to-
bacco along for several days. the
first big rush came Monday when
scores of wagons came rolling i'm
loaded with the weed. There are
many small loads, due to the fact
that many farmers have only strip;
ed small portion of their crop,
but the line OF wagons is continual
ly being added to as those i'm front
receive their checks and drive away
Farmers seem well satisfied with
prices this year, We are not in
formed as to the exact time when
the other houses are to open.

GREENSBORO BOWlIAG
GREEN fE! ERAL Highway
Will b. Delayed -Os ensboro TO
Raise S3U. 900 for Ohio
County.

Nov. 29.-The board of directors
Of the greensboro Chamber of Com
merce met yesterday afternoon to
consider q plan suggested for the
promotion of a federal highway to
Bowling Green. The proposition is
this: A proposd federal highway
has been surveyed running from
Bowling Green through Morgan
town and Hartford to Greensboro.
In addition to county appropriation
it will be necessary to raise part of
the money to construct this road by
private contributions. This road is
planned to pass through Ohio and
Butler counties and terminate in
Warren and Daviess counties. The
funds necessary to construct the
sections lying in Daviess, Butler and
Warren counties are practically as
sured, but as the longest stretch will
be built in the sparsely populated
county of Ohio, it will be necessary
to extend help from outside so that
county can meet. its share of the
cost
greensboro approximately $4,000
to give to Ohio county to help to
meet her share of the expense.
The directors of the Chamber of
commerce have pledged themselves
that hey would abide by the deci-
sion of the membership as express
ed by their suggestions offered at
the recent group meetings in the
management of the new Chamber.
The large majority of members have
registered their wishes in favor of
first undertaking such local activi-
ties as the promotion of housing,
sewerage, a hotel, etc. All of these
will require the expenditure of con-
siderable time, money and effort.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
city of Owensboro in general has
only limited amount of money to
expend on any one project. 1t there
fore remains to decide which pro-
ject to undertake at once and which
20 put over until later. This has
been decided for the directors by
the membership and the only re-
course is to allow the Bowling
Green road proposition to come in
it's proper order on the program,
which is fifth place. All recognize
the merits of the road proposal as
outlined, but the fact remains that
even if Owensboro were to raise the
$4,000 to give to Ohio county the
road would not then be assured as
there still remains considerable
balance to raise in other counties.
Further, Judge Wells says he would
not wish to divert the money nee
essary for Daviess county's portion
away from other roads within the
county unless it is understood the
20 cent road tax is assured.
