separate ballot printed for the pro-
posed prohibition amendment to the
State constitution. The proposed

THREE PRISONERS MAKE ES
CAPE FROM JAIL.

VI the three prisoners who effect
ed their escape from the Paris Jail
last week, one, Gilbert Huffman, re-
mains at large. The police of the
surrounding counties are on the look
out and it is confidently expected
that the missing man will be re-
turned to the county bastile soon.
Gilbert Huffman, who is alleged to
have robbed Logan Ayers, colored
tailor, of $50, Charles Newsum,
charged with robbing the clothing
store of 1. L. Price, in this city, and
Arthur Jones, white prisoner, who
Is alleged to have stolen the automo-
bile of Newt. Rankin, and was af-
terward captured in Dayton, Ohio, by
Chief of Police Link, sawed the pad
lock and chains which were used to
lock the doors leading into the cell
corridor, and, reaching the Jail
yard, climbed the wall.
One of the colOred prisoners. a
trusty named Wilson, heard the noise
made by the men, and notified Jailer
Taul, but too late to capture the
men. Another prisoner, VIM. Rey-
nolds, charged with completely in
1hN hODOOiy VI thC uhltCllcll q blake
more store in this city, was in the
deal to escape, but being a cripple,
was caught as he was endeavoring to
scale the wall.
Jones was captured by Patrolman
George M. Hill and Fire Chief Nc
Goldrick, as he was passing the fire
department. Jailer Taul has offered
a reward for the apprehension of the
other men. The reward of $25 for
the capture of Jones was paid to Pa
trolman Hill and Fire Chief Nc
GOldrick.
The men used a steel saw to sever
the links of the chain used on the
doors. Some time ago prisoner
priced one of the large stones from
a window in his cell with an iron bar
taken from his bed, and then soap
ing his body squeezed thorugh the
aperture and made his escape. He is
still at large.

STONER CREEK

Under the provisions of the special
road tax voted at the recent road
election held in this county the fund
may be used for the purpose of build
ing new bridges on the turnpikes In

day that the advisory board to the
Fiscal Court, have been convinced OF
the necessity of replacing the old
wooden bridge spanning Stoner
Creek, at the foot of Main street, in
this city, with a modern steel and
concrete structure.
Three years ago Mr.. Charles D.
Snead, of Frankfort, State Inspector
OF Bridges, inspected the old bridge
and while he made no recommends
tions as to the condition of the
bridge, strongly advised. the members
of the Fiscal Court that modern
bridge should be built. The present
structure has been in use for about
eighty years. If a new bridge is
built it will be greatly widened and
a footway for passengers provided.

THE LOUISVILLE POST OUT FOR
GOVERNOR BLACK.

The Louisville Post, which warm
iy supported Judge John D. Carroll
Tor the Democratic nomination for
Governor, comes out the past week
for Governor Black in an editorial in
which 1T quotes strong editorial
endorsement of the Governor by
Harry A. SOmmers, editor of the Eli
zabeth News, one of the high-class
weekly newspapers of the Middle
West. The Post points the useless
ness of electing a Republican Cover
nor, when the Senate and House are
certain to be Democratic and shows
how Morrow could do nothing ex-
cept with the help of a Democratic
Assembly if by any misfortune he
should be elected Governor Of Ken
lucky. The editorial in the Post un-
der the caption "The State Election, I"
follows:
''In the Elizabethtown News, Col.
Harry Sommers comes out strongly
for the reelection of Governor Black.
and the stand taken by the News is
symbolic, we think, of the best opin-
ion inside the party. Of course the
EliZabethtOwn News is Democratic
newspaper, but Kentucky is normal
ly Democratic, and, when the party
is able to command the earnest sup
port of such an independently edited
paper, it may be considered on the
high road to success.
Orators do not make good Gov
ernors,' observes the News. We
what we are talking about This is,
OF course, an allusion to Mr.. Stanley,
but the point that, simply because a
man is good speaker there is no
reason to feel assured that he will
make a good Governor, is sound.
Mr.. Morrow is an orator. He speaks
glibly and he has many of the tricks
of the trade of the old-time stump
speaker. He is more ready speaker
than is Gov. Black, but would he
make a better Governor? We do not
think so.
another thing that should exert
a powerful effect upon the electorate
is that the next Legislature is almost
certain to be Democratic. There
are enough hold-overs in the Senate
to make Democratic control of the
Upper Branch certainty. There is
practically no chance. therefore, Of
our Republican friends really con:
trolling the State government
Should Mr.. Morrow win he will be as
powerless as were Cows. Wilson and
Bradley before him. He could draw
the salary as Governor, but he could
accomplish nothing In constructive
way without the consent of the Leg
islature, and we know that Republi-
can Governors and Democratic Leg
islatures rarely pull together"

POLITICAL SPEAKING AT COURT
HOUSE YESTERDAY.

From a stand at the head Of the
court house steps in this city yes
terday afternoon, Hon. j. Campbell
Cantrill, Representative in Congress
from this district, addressed crowd
OF about one thousand people, in the
interest of the Democratic candidates
for State Offices in the coming cleo
tiOn in November. Mr.. Cantrill was
introduced to the crowd by Judge
Denis Dundon. There had been a
mix-up in regard to the place of
speaking, and the Democratic cam
patgn managers, learning that the
Republicans had secured the Circuit
Court room some time ago, courte-
ously gave way for them, and held
the meeting in open air. A joint de-
bate had been expected between Mr..
Cantrill and the Republican speaker,
DR.. Ben Bruner, but the Republicans
declined to accept the issue.
Mr.. Cantrill opened his speech by
stating that while the Republicans
were confined within four walls of
the court house the Democrats were
out in the open," and that after
the November election the Repu1li-
cans would be confined where they
ought to be. He paid an eloquent
tribute to President Woodrow Will
son and his administration, and call
ed him the greatest American since
the days of Washington. He urged
upon his hearers the Importance Of
every patriotic citizen, be he Demo-
crat, Republican, or Independent,
voting the Democratic ticket from
top to bottom. He paid a high COM
pliment to all the Democratic candi-
dates for State Offices, and to Mr..
James H. Thompson, the Democratic
candidate for Representative from
Bourbon county, and urged all DEM
ocrats, Republicans and independents
to vote for him.
Mr.. Cantrill stated that Mr.. Ed
ward Morrow, the Republican candi-
date for Governor while District
Attorney six years ago, arrested and
convicted five farmers from Grant
county on trumped-up charges Of vio-
lating the Sherman antitrust law,
and that they were afterward par
doned by President Taft at the in
stance of he (CantrilD and Senator
Bradley, and that Mr.. Morrow had
bacco Trust. He took up the pardon
records of the Republican and DEM
ocratic Governors and showed that
the Republicans had issued more
pardons by two to one than had the
Democrats. In the further course OF
his address Mr.. Cantrill defended the
Democratic administration, and ex-
posed all the follies and the fallacies
of the Republican campaign.
While the Democratic speaking
was in progress the, Circuit Court
room was comfortably filled with an
audience that listened to DR.. Ben
Bruner, of Louisville, expound the
Republican campaign doctrine, which
he did in his usual style. DR.. Bru-
ner was given an earnest hearing
and an enthusiastic repetition. He
was introduced to his audience by
Mr.. N. A. Moore, Republican candi-
date for Representative from Bour-
bon county, and spoke for about two
hours on the issues involved in the
for the State Offices.
