DEMOCRATS TO OPEN
CAMPAIGN WITH BARBECUE
Extensive Plans Being Made For
Opening Of State Campaign BY
Democrats at Hopkinsyille.

Hopkinsville, KY, September 13.--
Big preparations are already being
made here by local Democrats for the
opening of their State campaign Sat
urday, September 20. The proposal
made by the State Campaign Commit
tee has been accepted by local Demo-
Gratis who at once started to work on
the many details.
1t will be an all day affair held at
the Pennyroyal Fair Grounds. There
will be a barbecue dinner served at
noon and it is proposed to have plen-
ty to feed the crowd free, although
several thousand people are expected.
The list of speakers has not yet been
announced as invitations have been
sent to several leading Democrats Of
other states, and until their definite
acceptance is received the speaking
program will not be given out.
None of the speeches will be more
keenly awaited or of more interest
than the keynote address of Governor
Black. This will outline in large mea-
sure the Democratic campaign, as well
as formally open the fight.
Senators Beckham and Stanley, Con-
gressmen Barley and Kincheloe and
possibly other members of the House
are almost sure to be here and ready
to speak If desired.

STRIKING POLICE Will
NOT Be REINSTkTED
Police Commissioner and Governor
Refuse to Let Striking Police
Return to Work.

Boston, September 13.-Although
striking police voted last night to re-
turn to duty, Police Commissioner
Curtis has notified officials none of the
strikers may return under any cir
cumstances."
With Governor Calvin Coolidge and
Commissioner Curtis opposed to re-
instatement of the police on the
ground that in leaving their posts they
became deserters, concessions were
considered unlikely.
With normal conditions restored by
the State Guard, authorities turned
their attention today to seeking per-
manent solution.
Governor Coolidge was to receive
M. ]. O'Donnell, president of the Cen
trail Labor Union, and members of the
Executive Labor Committee today,
when the labor crisis arising from
the strike will be discussed.
Importance was attached to the con-
hoienCe peCduSe VI poSSipiii'y VI q Seh
eral strike should the governor re-
fuse to reinstate police.
That the governor and Commission
err Curtis have strong support in their
stand against reinstatement of police
was seen in action of the Boston Life
Underwriters Association, which pass
ed resolutions pledging support to
Coolidge and urging that no police be
reinstated.

Ed. MORROW IS WARMLY
GREETED IN THE HILLS
Emphasizes His Platform For Reform
All Along the Line; Speaking In
Big Sandy Valley.


Louisa, KY, September 13.-Coming
down the Big Sandy Valley in his
speaking campaign, Edwin P. Morrow
Republican nominee for Governor, ad-
dressed large and enthusiastic gath
ering of voters of Lawrence and adj
joining counties here Friday.
If the reception accorded Mr.. Nor
row here is any criterion Of his
strength in Lawrence, he will carry
the county by big majority.
Nominee Morrow emphasized in his
speech here that the states finances
must be put ON a sound basis as the
first step to lasting progress" He said
that the Republican party is pledged
to the strictest economy in the admin
istration of governmental affairs, and
if elected he would endeavor to carry
out this program.
He declared that the burdens of tax
alton now resting upon the people of
the Commonwealth have been largely
caused by the extravaganza and mis-
management of past Democratic ad-
ministrations.
The speaker advocated a non-par-
tisan judiciary as the safest and most
practical plan for the enforcement of
law and the administration of justice.
In this connection, Mr. Morrow said:
1.-THE strain of politics too often be-
smirches the ermine of the Judge. My
party cheerfully takes advanced
ground in demanding that all judicial
officers be elected on non-partisan
plan, without party emblem or desig-
nation. Fitness and qualification alone
should determine their selection"

HEALTH
Department PLANS
TO Fight INFLUENZA
Health Officers Over Nation Are Ask
ed By U. s. Public Health Service
To BE On Lookout For
Influenza.

That influenza is expected to make
its appearance this fall and that the
U. s. Public Health Service plans to
give it a good fight is shown by their
preparations now being made.
DR.. ]. s. Rice, Mason County Health
Officer, has just letter which says in
part:
Dear Doctor:
With reference to the important
question of the probability that this
year may witness a recurrence of cpl
demlc influenza, this Bureau is adj
vised by the Illinois State Department
of Health of recent increased, though
hardly epidemic, prevalence of what
is believed to have been mild form
of influenza in certain localities in
that State.
1t is suggested that health authori-
ties throughout the country keep in
especially close touch at this time and
throughout the coming fall and winter
with practicing physicians, In order to
have prompt information of any undue
prevalence of mild febrile or catarrhal
affections which physicians may hest
tate to report as influenza, but which
may justify the suspicion of this dis
ease, and that all outbreaks be
promptly and carefully investigated.
The following are suggested as es-
pecially important lines of investiga-
ton in such instances:
l. Careful clinical investigation of
all reported cases, since an investiga-
tor having a view of a considerable
group of cases may be enabled to make
a more certain diagnosis than the
practicing physician who sees small
er number.
2. Careful inquiry into the rela-
tions between cases, to ascertain
whether there is evidence of the con-
tagiousness which is characteristic Of
influenza.
3. Inquiry among the general pub
lie to ascertain whether there is a con-
current increase in the prevalence of
similar illness among persons who
have not consulted physicians.
4. Inquiry, in each case, as a his
tory of influenza within the past year.
Since 1t is not yet certainly establish
ed that an attack of influenza confers
lasting immunity, the history of a
previous attack cannot be considered
as definite evidence against dag
uosis of influenza. However, if inves-
tigation should show that the disease
under investigation was largely con-
fined to those who had escaped infec-
ton during the preceding influenza
epidemic this might constitute import
ant confirmatory evidence. Moreover,
in the event of a recurrence of definite
ly recognized influenza it Is a matter
of special scientific Importance to col
lect full and reliable data bearing up
on the question of immunity resulting
from previous attacks.
The Public Health Service is pre-
pared, so far is possible with the lin
tied personnel available, to respond to
requests for cooperation with State au-
thorities in the investigation of sus-
pected outbreaks of influenza, and
will, within a few days, issue state
ment in regard to the further coopera-
ton which it will be prepared to rem
der in case of serious epidemic out
breaks.
A prompt reply to this letter with
any helpful. suggestions will be APP
preciated.
Very truly yours,
RUPERT BLUE,
