GOVERNOR JAMES D BLACK, of
Barbourville made a rousing
speech to a large and enthusiastic
audience last Saturday at Rich
mond, in opening his campaign
for the Democratic nomination
for Governor. In our opinion
the speech is vote getter. If
the people of Kentucky will read
and study this speech, they will
realize the wonderful Importance
Of exciting such man to the high
Office he seeks We shall, from
time to time, comment on the va
rious things he advocates aud
stands for as candidate That
part of his speech which pleased
Us most is as follows:
"But let me say right here that
election to the Governorship of
my state will fill the measure of
NY political ambition, l would
not again be candidate for Office.
But, with greatful mind, l
would set myself with tireless zeal
to the task of rendering devoted
service in the hope same would
yield a great peoples approval,
so earnestly coveted by me. ]
would have no end to subserve
beyond that of giving to the peo-
pie clean, business-iike admins
tration of affairs along lines of
economy and industry. l would
n OF want or have any need of any
political machine. ! am not a
politician and am unacquainted
with the ways of the politician
The political mountebank and /
have nothing in common. While
l am wholly unacquainted with
his tricks and the shady road be
goes, / know him and his wavs
well enough to avoid him and his
snares. am one of the plain
folks and my friends are those
who want honest government,
and believe 1 would do right. The
willy politicians are not for me.
They do not trust me, for they
know they cannot control me. l
belong to no faction. 1 belong to
the people. /"

At LeAiL gton at the same
time a political convention was in
session To all of these great
gatherings Rockcastle had large
number of delegates, who not only
attended but were active in th
various doipgs of each. This
proves how rapidly Rockcastle

ence she will exert. The Signal

of progress and feels CT ntideri
that as time goes on the delegates
will grow in mum bers and expa

Notes from Washington

Ny first vote in the House OF Rep
resentatives on a matter OF legislation
was for the Woman Suffrage amend
ment.
The resolution was passed by the
House on Wednesday. May l, and was
the first real business taken up in the
House. 1t took Just 2 hours and 80
minutes to do the job. The fight was
led by James r. Mann of Illinois.
There were two hours of debate.
one hour for each side. The debate
wasn't exactly necessary. but it gave
lot OF men a chance to make a few
remarks. that may be later extended
into great speeches. literally inter
spered with "applauses~ printed in
the Record and still later sent out to
admiring bunch of constituents. There
was great demand for time to speak
on this question. but by the rules OF
the House debate was limited to two
hours.
In procedure OF this kind the leader
on the floor who has charge of a bill
has an hour at his disposal. The
leader of the opposition has an hour at

II was stated in the debate that
this question had been discussed in
the House for so wears.
The vote was 304 yes. % no. -

luton. and more than the required
number voted for II.
The proposition viii now go TO the
Senate and II is believed that the re-
ouired number of votes will be favor
able there.
After the resolution passes the Sen

The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1919-05-29

Resolved ETC.. That the following
article is proposed as an amendment
to the Constitution, which shall be
valid to all iHtents and purposes as
part Of the Constitution when ratified
by the legislatures of three-fourths of
the several states:
"ARTdcLE
THE right Of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate leg
isiation."
In Colorado the question of woman
suffrage has ceased to be an issue or
curiosity. I have been voting for
"a years and I have never voted at
any polls where women did not vote
on az equality with men Iwould not
know now II seemed to vote where
women did not vote.
In Colorado the women began vot
ing in 1894 and that year the state
was redeemed from waiteism II
was charged by Gov Waite. who was
running for a second teiIrrr. that the
new women voters defeated him-no
doubt with more or less truth.
Down here you hear many funny
and foolish prophesies of the dire re-
suits that will follow the adoption OF
woman suffrage But we who have
seen our wives and mothers voting for
quarter OF a century know better
than these false prophets that nothing
but good can follow.
