THE ANNUAL FISH FRY BY THE
NORTH MIDDLETOWN CLUB

Had the North Middletown Fish
Club not decided to change the date
of holding their annual fish fry
from Thursday to Wednesday they
would have had fine day yesterday
for that event, but as it was, the pros
pect of rain, with lowering clouds
giving every assurance of a precipi-
tatlon, the merry-makers were COM
PEELED to seek the friendly-s shelter of
a big barn, where the original pro-
gram was carried out, with the ex-
ception of landing the necessary fish
for the fry" both small and large.
This was the first time in years
the event had been held in a barn, as
previously all the setting needed for
the great day was a cloudless sky and
the banks of the creek, with plenty
of good things to eat. On this occa-
sion one hundred and sixty people
partOOk of the feast of good things
that had been prepared, with the
help of the ladies of North Middle
town and vicinity Big pits were
dug and the fish fried and the meats
barbecued therein. 1t was pro-

spices of the club. Several baskets
of food contributed by the women of
the vicinity, were not opened, as
there was enough and plenty. These
baskets were turned over to Mr.. Geo
Sehon, Superintendent of the Ken
lucky State Orphans Home at Lou
isvil1e, and sent to the home. AS soon
as the big crowd had gathered
around the dining tables the blessing
was pronounced by Rev. w. e. Ellis
of the Paris Christian church. The

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEN-
TON NOMINATES STATE
TICKET -

Pursuant to the call of the Repub
lican State Executive Committee the
Republicans of the State met in con-
vention in Lexington, Wednesday,
and nominated a ticket for the State
Offices to be placed in the field to op-
pose the claims of the Democrats to
continue their hold on the Offices.
The convention was presided over by
Judge Charles Kerr, of Lexington,
who was made Permanent Chairman,
with Hon. Harry Giovannolli, Of the
Lexington Leader, as Secretary.
Predicting victory, denouncing
the Democratic party, and shouting
like mad at every mention of the
name of their prospective standard
bearer, Hon. Edwin G. Morrow, of
Somerset, the program of the party
convention went through without a
hitch or untoward incident of any
kind, and the convention pledged
the party to the hearty support of the
ticket nominated and accepted at the
meeting.
In the ticket, which was recon-
mended to the voters in the Repub-
lican primary, and which will be &C
copied without change, a few minor
changes were made, but this was &C
complished by compromise, and it is
believed that there will be very little
if any, opposition at the polls to the
ticket. =
Five thousand delegates and Re-
publican visitors, standing and cheer
ing wildly for ten minutes, endorsed
and pledged the united support of the
Republican party to Edwin p Nor
row, of Somerset, candidate for Gov
ernOr.
This monster demonstration occur
red shortly after the committee or
resolutions, which had been in ses
sion since the convention opened, re
ported to the convention and recon
mended that Morrow lead the ticke
in the campaign to be waged thi:
coming fall.
No vote was necessary. The rol
was not called. There vas no Other
candidate for the nomination, tn,
entire support of the party havlnt
practically been pledged months be
fore the convention met. -
The ticket recommended by thu
resolution committee to the conven
ton is as follows: - F
For Governor-Edwin P. Morrow
of Somerset.
For Lieutenant Governor =
LThurston Ballard, of Louisville.
For Secretary of State-Fred A
Vaughn. of Pike county.
For Attorney General-Charles /
Dawson, of Pineyille.
For Auditor-John j. Craig,
Covington-
For Superintendent of Public In
observation-disclosures M. Colvin, o
Springfield.
For Clerk of the Court of Appeal
Roy B. Speck, Of Bowling Green.
For Commissioner of Agriculture
w. C. Hanna, of Shelbyville.
The platform adopted by the con
vention carries general denunc1s
ton of the conduct of affairs by tn
Democratic party of the State.

REMOVE THE LOAN POSTERS

Now that the Victory Loan cam
rajgn is overland very much over
toe very first day-in Paris and the
county. and away over the top at
that. the many big posters and signs
that we're used in the big drive, es-
pecially in the city, have served their
mission. Attractive and convincing
as were these messages the great ma
jcrity have suffered during the hard
campaign from the stress of wind and
weather, and are now soiled, torn
and dilapidated. They should be re-
moved at once. Mutilated pictures OF
the American flag and other emblems
OF the United States are the very
antithesis Of inspiring. With these
posters removed Paris will be a far
more attractive city.

Possibilities of an International
Controversy Due to Deal
Force Discussion of
Monroe Doctrine

Mexico City, March S0.-That the
Japanese corn corporation has been
granted concessions to exploit aRricul-
tural lands in lower California was the
statement made late today by General
Amado Aguirre. under secretary of de-
velopment and agriculture.
Affirmation made. however, of con-
cessions were fully authorized by pro-
visions Of tho Mexican constitution.
There is nothing In the concessions,
Asuirre asserted. that might possibly
lead to diff - les SO far as the Mon
roe doctrine is concerned.
Reports that there is a possibility OF
an international controversy over the
granting Of the concessions to tho Japa-
nese. were said to be absurd by Gem
eral Amado Aguirre in an interview
earlier in the day, in which he said the
action was legal At that time he
would not admit the concessions had
been granted. The japanese legation
here denied it had any official knowl-
edge of the action.
