DEMOCRATIC
CAMPAIGN OPENS
Governor Black Fires First Gun at
"Hoptown." cantriII Opens In
Blue Grass at Winchester

Ten thousand persons were pres
emit at Hopkinsville Saturday to hear
Governor Black open the State I'm
ocratic Campaign. The meeting was
most enthusiastic one and the
Governor was frequently interrupted
by applause. He made a splendid
speech and did not mince words in
taking the Republicans to task for
tactics employed in their hopeless
effort to defeat the Democratic
state ticket. The Governor made a
splendid impression and the opening
was glorious one.
Reclaring that Edwin p. Morrow,
Republican nominee for governor,
had convicted farmers who pooled
their tobacco in the fight against the
tobacco trust, and that S. Thurston
Ballard, nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor, was robbing farmers and la
boring men by selling them flour
at a price higher than he asked in
the South, Congressman J. Camp
he'll Cantrill, champion of the farm
er in Congress, opened the Demo
cratic campaign at Winchester Mon
day.
Mr.. Cantrill declared that the re-
peal Of the state primary law sought
by Republicans would practically
disfranchise Kentucky women, who
will soon have the ballot and chal-
lenged comparison of the pardon
record of Governor Stanley with
that of Augustus Wilson, the last
Republican governor.
The state is not strongly Demo-
cratic, as has been supposed, he said
in urging, that the entiSe Democratic
vote be gotten out at the coming cleo
ton. He gave figures showing the
close votes polled by Republicans al
recent national elections, and said
that his party asked support in the
confidence of having kept all prom
ises in the platform two years ago
| Mr.. Cantrill spoke for an hour and
half to a crowd of enthusiastic
Democrats who crowded into the
Clark circuit room and adjoining
corridors. He was interrupted by APP
plause time and again when he
spoke of the Democratic record.

PREPARE TIRES FOR
LONG, HARD WINTER
Car Owners Should Take Few
Necessary Precautions.
Carefully Wash on Outside to Remove
All Harmful Substances, Wrap in
Paper or Carpet and Store
In Dry Place.

The skin is thick on the belly of the
Goldfish and the fur is heavy on the
back Of the squirrel, so prepare for
long, hard winter.
Many motorists will soon put their
cars in the barn for the winter and
think no more of motor riding until
about the ides of March.
Many automobile tires will 60 into
storage with thousands of miles of
wear left in them, and car owners
should take the few precautions nee
essary to keep them from damage
while they are not in use.
Here are some recommendations
made by the service department of a
large tire company to the motorist who
wants to put his tires away and find
them in good shape next spring:
1. Wash tires carefully on outside
to remove oil and other harmful sub
stances.
2. Remove tires from wheels and
wrap in paper or old carpet.
3. Store in cool, dry place, away
from light Heat, light and moisture
are enemies of rubber.
4. Cold has no bad effect on tires,
but they should be properly housed.
5. If tires are left on car, jack up
car, debate the tires and wrap them
in covers.
6. Don't let car stand on tires all
winter. To do so means weakening
them in the parts that rest on the floor.
Care will make the tires last out the
full length of their guarantee, despite
climatic conditions. "'.'
