The double offer of $500 in gold and 90,000 extra votes on $30 clubs has woven it's charm over all the young men and women who are steadily forging ahead in the vote columns.
 As a special event it bids fair to stand out in this in- teresting campaign as the most liberal inducement placed before the candi- | dates.
 The offer is bringing quite a flock of new candi- dates and served to make others get busy gathering votes. Already they are imbued with the spirit of vote getting and showing results.
 Concerning this phase, one of the late starters said yesterday: You can be- lieve that I mean business. My name has been in the list since the beginning, and the vote credits increased in a sort of half-hearted manner. That's because I

ed large and enthusiastic audience
at the Courthouse Monday afternoon
in the interest of the Democratic
State ticket. The Congressman made
good the claims of his constituents

mented Ollie M. James.
In clear cut, logical speech brist-
ling with facts and figures Mr.. Bark
ley arraigned the Republicans as
being unworthy of being trusted to
administer the affairs of either State
or nation. He showed how weak and
unfounded were the sweeping crit

Democrats to support the nominees
Of the party that would uphold the
Democratic leaders of the nation,
who have labored so valantly for the
welfare of the country and that
Republican victory in Kentucky
would be heralded as a reputation
Of Woodrow Wilson and the League

Iduced by Hon. w. j. Fields, who
spoke briefly in behalf of the Dem
ocratic nominees for State offices.

CROWD
GREETS BLACK


Thursday evening at the Court
house Governor Black was greeted
by one of the largest audiences that
has listened to any political speech
during the State campaign in this
city. Not only was it a large audi
ence, but one Of the most attentive
and intelligent gatherings that has
assembled in a long time. The crowd
showed plainly who the representa-
tive citizenship were for for Cover
nor of Kentucky. The hoodlum was
conspicuously absent; it was think
ing assembly. Governor Black was
presented to the audience by Judge
Senff and the Governor at once en-
tered upon the issues between party
platforms and the opinions Of can
didates as well. The Governor is in
high spirits as to the results Of the
election November 4th. Morrow was
taken to task for Misrepresentation
relative to the school book issue and
showed that the very books criticised
BY Morrow and associates we're the
ones rejected by the committee. The
fact is Morrow is as ignorant on
this school book matter as he has
been proven to. be on many others,
and especially with the tax commits
sion matter. Morrow made, such a
to do about unnecessary offices, but
refused to state what ones could be
dispensed with. The Governor show
ed how necessary it was to have a
Governor in sympathy with the Pres
ident in his efforts to secure the ap-
prevail by the Senate 9of the peace
treaty and League Of Nations. The
Governor refuted every charge made
by Morrow and left his audience in
the very best spirits. He made a
splendid impression and was fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
Montgomery county is strong for
Governor Black and predictions are
freely made that his majority in this
county will be from three to four
hundred.

large buyers from other states, prob
ably induced to come here from read
ing my reports Of the great bargains
gotten last courtday in cattle, and
the sellers, after the low prices of
September court, bought them
cheaper and would have made money
on September prices and when they
could get from 7 to 10c advance they
sold readily and never have I seen
cattle change hands faster. From

hogs nor sheep. Mule colts were few
in number. but sold higher than last
court. While on my way to the stock
yards on street crowded with peo-
pie, l heard three pistol shots in
quick succession. Stopped my buggy
as l did not care to catch bullet
not intended for me. Soon a marshal
came along with a bare-headed man
who did the shooting; then one with
the shot man riding in an auto. He
was shot twice in the head and once
in the body, but the head wounds
were only flesh ones; the other may
prove fatal The men were brothers
in-law and had a COW and buggy
trade and quarreled over it. The
wounded man was named White and
the other Willoughby.

DIRIGIBLE
is COMING
British Airship Intends to Fly From
England to Atlantic City
Some Time This
Month.
TBy Edwin Hullinger, United Press

[By Edwin Hullinger, United Press
Staff Correspondent
LONDON, June THE big British
dirigible R-34 is undergoing it's final
tuning up near the Firth of Forth be-
fore attempting to fly to Atlantic
City, N. j.
'sThe airship's equipment is COM
plete and she will be ready to start
for America as soon as the crew is
convinced that every piece of appa-
ratus is 100 percent perfect" an adj
miralty official said today. 1--WE have
given the crew permission to leave
any moment they WISH
The admiralty'is uncertain regard
ing the day of departure. Although
the officials say they would not be
surprised to see the R-34 "cut loose
any day." it is generally believed the
start will not be made before the
end of the month, owing to the ex-
IRENE thoroughness of the tests she
Is undergoing.
The R-34 will seek to fly to New
Foundland at an altitude Of about
I 900 feet, which is above the lower
storm filled area usually traversed by
airplanes. From New Foundland it is
planned to follow the coast to Allan
tic City.
The drift" of the airship, which is
expected to be the greatest problem
encountered will be corrected by
dropping smoke or flame flares period
ically The drift Will then be COM
puted by estimating the angle and dis
lance between the flares, the speed of
the motor, etc.

FIRST CANDIDATE
is FOR VETS
Believes in Free Beer and Two Law
full Sprces Per Year for All
Good Naturalized
Citizens.

WASHINGTON, June Z. - The
first candidate to announce himself
for the presidency in 1920 is wet"
He believes in free beer and other
intoxicants-an and would permit two
"souses" year under the law.
His name is Captain Sir Mark
Golein, Kt. M. M."-whatever all that
may be-and he halls from New Jer-
sey, which already boasts one presi-
dent.
Golein heads what he terms the
New Party" and allows that his
party will save the union" He's
got platform and everything. And
his wife, Lady Golein," who appar-
emily is getting her husbands boom
under way, says he's fighting no
party because there is "some good
and some bad in all of them
She dropped into the United Press
office here and submitted her hus-
bands name as candidate, adding
privately that she really had hoped
he wouldn't win the election, but
someone had to be elected SO she
had become resigned to help out.
Then she sprung his platform,
which has wet" plank as q head
liner. Golein would have free manu-
facture and sale of beer, whiskey and
other liquors; six months on the
chain gang for convicted drunkards,
the family receiving 81 day for his
labor. Such drunkards could only
get drunk twice a year-July A and
Christmas.
Golein says he stands for "the lib
erty of the people," reduction of
taxation and trade protection" con
struction Of a merchant marine on a
sure and safe basis" religious,
political, medical and business free
dom, with minimum wage for work
ers and equal suffrage"
Golein also has unearthed 1--WE
large, perpetual, positive sources" Of
revenue which he proposes to substi-
tute for taxation, and which he will
explain eff invited by associations,
societies and organizations"
AS solution of the immigration
problem, the New Party leader pro-
poses that foreign labor coming here
'for the first two years residence in
our country shall at least be 200
miles in the interior from our coast
Ines" Golein's idea is to get the
onto the land, instead of
INTO the tenements.
Old age pensions and free educa-
ions and homes for the afflicted and
poor constitute another platform
plank.
The Irish, the Germans, the Aus
rians, the Slavism, the Italians and
others from countries beyond the
seas, left their kaisers and kings and
came here and helped build our
and sustained our freedom
md independence and they and their
descendants fought our battles in
,ur past wars most faithfully and
lonorably and it is our absolute duty
o protect them and honor and help
hem in their endeavors in every
way" reads another plank.
No entangling alliances with
oreign nations, is the eighth plank,
With strict adherence to the Monroe
doctrine and the Sherman trust act.
The new party will not have gov
ownership of public utilities,
10 as to promote safe private invest
nents for our general public's sur
'lus capital" the platform concludes |
