When we take survey OF
the recent primary we are cor
WINGED that the selection OF
Governor Black as the demo-
cratic nominee for Governor
was the wise one. HIS can
didacy seems to have struck a
popular cord with the demo
Gratis of the State and his fol-
lowers were very enthusiastic
and earnest in supporting him
in the primary. However, the
result of the special election in
this Congressional District and
the failure of so many deTo-
Gratis to come to the polls and
participate in the primary is
some what discouraging to *
at the present. But we con-
fdently believe that with a Wig
orous campaign begun at an
early date and continued act
lively until the election in Nov
ember we shall be able to
arouse the democrats of the
State and elect our ticket.
Governor Black is a safe, con-
servative and honest leader
and the opponents of our party
will not be able to find any OBJ
lection to him that have not al
ready been discovered and
which presented to the neople
in the most forcible manner
had no effect whatever in the
primary contest.
The democrats of the State
should begin at once an active
organization and make Il Wig
orous defense OF the democrat
ic party and its doings in the
State ard nation. The Record
is thoroughly pleased with the
ticket. We took no part in the
primary whatever ard did moi
undertake through. the col
umns of this paper to influence
any democrat in casting his
vote in the primary. The Rec
ord will give its best efforts in
loyal support of the democratic
ticket in this on-coming fight
and shall do our best to put
Gerard County in the demo-
cratic column in November.

will act as attendance officers

ing directly among the parents
gives them an opportunity 10
influence these parents to SEMI
their children to school. The
organization was complete for
the opening of the first session
on August A with the CouI
Illiteracy Agents in direct sup
ervision of the work.
Three State Agents are con-
stan;!y going over Kentucky to
meet groups of teachers and TO
attend Institutes where the
work of he Illiteracy Commits
sion is outlined and pledges are
secured for volunteer teachers.
These agents are Mrs. Mary ..
Warrington. Mrs. Lucille Gro
gan Jones and Miss Lena Wells
Lykins. These State Agents
have a strenuous itinerary
planned for the coming months
including both day and night
travel in many instances.
Realizing that this is the last
year of the life of the Kentucky
Illiteracy Commission and that
an apprecisble step toward the
complete eradication OF Hitter
acy must be made by 1920,
many organizations of the state
are throwing their weight into
the campaign in the hope that
the final report shall show Xsn-
lucky far up in the list of sta,es
claiming no illiteracy. The
first years were spent more or
less in organization work as
well as teaching but now that
the machine is in good wo. kEc
order. it is believed that IL ter
acy can be wiped out in the al
lotted time.
Bankers. speakers, travel
ing statesmen, jailors. the press
and the Kentucky Federation

tons already have begun their

district so largely democratic
as the Sth. Congressional Dis
trict democrats should know
what has been accomplished by
our party. This should be a
lesson to future nominees of the
party. We attribute the de-
feat of our nominee to some ex-
tent to the mistake in the cam
paign. That is, in the failure
to make an open, vigorous fight
in the support of our party.

| The opening of tha Moon
light Schools on August J, was
a great step in the campaign
hich is now being waged by
the Kentucky lliiteracy CON-
mission in the hope of eradica-
ting illiterdcy from the state
by 1920. Besides the Moon
light Schools, several other
branches of the campaign are
in progress and plans are per-
fected for every step of the
campaign for retaining Ken
lucky from illiteracy.
According to the act of the
Legislature, the Kentucky IL
literacy Commission was Great
ed to wage a fight against Hit
eracy, in the hope of complete
ly eradicating it from the state
by 1920, and with this view the
Commission is bending every
effort to make the remaining
months count. The report OF
Nat B. Sewell, State Inspector
and Examiner, rendered in
December 1918, shows that APP
proXimately 100000 illiterates
were taught to read and write
through the work of the Com
mission and that similar num-
Der yet remained to be taught
during the existence of the H.
literacy Commission. The or
ganization is perfected and it
is the aim OF the Commission to
reach the remaining 100000
before the 1920 census.
Many of the teachers are be-
ginning their fourth or fifth
year of volunteer service in the
counties of the state and all are
confident of wiping illiteracy
out of their districts during the
campaign. The sessions which
opened August 4th, will be fol-
lowed by successive sessions in
other counties of the state, the
Moonlight school openings fol-
lowing close upon the begin
ming of the day school terms.
During the six weeks session
adult illiterates who are unable
to attend the Moonlight
Schools will be taken care of
in their homes so that by the
end of the term, it is hoped all
residents will be able to read
and write and the ban of illit-
eracy will be lifted from Ken
lucky.
A force of County Illiteracy
Agents have been trained by
the Kentucky Illiteracy Com
mission and assigned to various
counties for the campaign.

DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

1t is deep disappointment
to the Editor of this paper that
we were unable to carry on our
front page in this issue the
democratic rooster. The de-
feat of Judge Charles A. .Har-
din, our nominee for Congress
5y his republican opponent at
the special election last Satur-
day comes as a great surprise to
the many enthusiastic admirers
Of Judge Hardin throughout
the district. 1t will tend to
discourage democrats and en-
thuse republicans wherever the
news is heralded. The cause
of the defeat of Judge Hardin
is easy analysed. The immed-
late cause upon an inspection
of the returns is shown to be
that democrats did not come to
the polls and vote either in this
special election or at the demo-
cratic primary. Four years
ago in the Stanley-McChes
primary in Garrard County
there were nearly 1900 votes
cast, while in the primary be-
tween Black and Carroll last
Saturday there were only about
500. Judge Hardin received
on the same day 994 demo-
cratic votes, considerably over
100 more than cast in the pri-
mary. Democrats were indif-
ferent and apathetic for var
ious reasons, but we feel as
sured that there was no person.
al opposition to Judge Hardin
in the district, and that this
lack of interest on the part of
democrats could easily have
been overcome by a vigorous
educational campaign in the
district. While the offers of
the National Committee to gre
assistance in this fight might
not have availed at the time
that it was declined, yet we be-
lieve it would have had a ma
terial effect if the speakers had
come in this district even at a
late hour. We feel sure, how
ever, that if the speakers had
come at an earlier date and
this fight been made Judge
Hardin would have been elect
ed. There should have been a
speaking campaign and an APP
peal to the intelligence and
thoughtful consideration of the
democrats of the 9Th District,
in which event our party as a
mass would have rallied to the
support of our nominee and
sent him to Congress. We have
little patience with the "still
hunt" campaign anyway. In a

CLEANUP DAY
ISPLANNED BY
LESLIE WOMEN

LESLIE, April 5.-The newly organ
lied improvement club of Leslie boasts
of remarkable growth in it's short life
of only four weeks. Much interest
and enthusiasm were manifest at the
meeting Friday afternoon, April 4.
The chairman of the Playground, LII
brary, Literary and Musical commit
tees gave splendid reports of their
work.
New features of club work were dis
cussed, some of which were decided
upon.
One plan is for the first meeting in
each month to be business one when
the discussions will be upon town
improvements. Another plan is for
the last meeting of the month to be a
social one, at which time the program
will be devoted to musical and liter
airy studies.
A committee of three from the club
were appointed by the president to go
before the city council and present a
plan for Cleanup Week and secure
their cooperation.
Cleanup Week will be observed in
April.
