Next Tuesday, November 11th, will
be the first anniversary of the signing

Of many states and the mayors of
many cities have issued proclamation

clamation follows:
TO THE PEOPLE OF MAYSVILLE:
Tuesday. November 11th, Is the first
anniversary Of the signing of the ar
mistic in the great World War. That
memorable day will live long in the
memories Of all Of the present genera
tion but 1t is fitting that the day be
observed as a holiday.
The governor of our commonwealth
In proclamation has already set the
day apart as state holiday and as
Maysville gave many Of her sons to
the great conflict, it is no more than
right that we celebrate the day on
which they laid down their arms in
battle.
Therefore. I, Thomas M. Russell
mayor Of the City of Maysville, de-
signate. Tuesday, November II, 1919
Armistice Day, a municipal holiday
and call upon all to celebrate the day
most flttingly. At II o'clock the city

Kentucky Dry

Although Mason county gave ma
jority against the prohibition amend
ment, the latest report from the entire
state Of Kentucky is to the effect that
the state prohibition amendment was
carried by an overwhelming majority.
Figures on this amendment are not
given at state Headquarters of either
of the two parties and the Anti-Saloon
League has been unable to get reports
from the most of the counties, how
ever, enough reports are in to assure
the state voting dry.

ED. morrow Wins THE GOvERNORSHP BY
over $4,000 MAJORITY

Edwin p. Morrow and his associates
on the Republican state ticket, were
elected yesterday by majorities which
exceed the expectations Of their most
confident supporters.
Complete, altho unofficial, returns
from 102 of the 120 counties in Ken
lucky, gave Mr.. Morrow majority of
1850 votes.
The vote of the eighteen counties
from which reports had not been re-
ceived estimated on the basis of the
1915 election, would leave Mr.. Nor
rows majority undiminished. Esti-
mated on the basis of the gains made
in the counties reported, these coun-
ties would give substantial in
crease in Mr.. Morrow's majority of
more than 100000
The sweeping Republican victory
carried with it control of the Ken
lucky House of Representatives. The
Republicans will have a substantial
majority in the House, but exact fig-
ures were not substantial last night.
The overwhelming victory of the Re-
publican candidates was marked by
reversals of political form hitherto
without precedent in the history OF
Kentucky. Counties which never be-
fore had been known to go otherwise
than Democratic gave majorities tc
Mr.. Morrow and his associates.
The Sixth Congressional District
which Republicans had been conced'
ing to the Democrats by estimated
majorties of from 1000 to 1000, gaze
Morrow a majority of more than 1,OO(
votes. Large majorities in Kentci
and Campbell counties contribute
largely to this result.
The Sixth District often has giver
Democratic majorities of nearly 10000
Never before has any election found i
in the Republican column.
Governor Black ran poor race il
every section of Kentucky as com
pared with the race Of four years az
when Mr.. Stanley, on the face of thu
returns, got majority of All. In thu
mountains, where Democrats believed
Governor Black would show his great
est strength, Mr.. Morrow was givei
greatly increased majorities, com
pared to the election of 1915. Cover
nor Black was defeated in his hom
precinct and failed to reduce the nor
NAL Republican majorities in his hom
county, Knox.

DR.. ". S. YAzElL DEFEATS CALVERT EARLY
IN A Big VOTE

Mason county did the unusual Tues
day when they gave to a Republican
candidate for governor a majority OF
2s6 votes for although Blacks Mason
county organization bagged 2O67 votes
Morrow carried away the county with
1858 votes.

sentative by the good majority OF l6l
votes even carrying Helena precinct,

Calvert Early, the Democratic STAN
dard bearer.
These two races, of course, over
shadowed everything else although In
the city of Maysville there was con-
siderable interest in the race for
Councilmen.
There was very little interest taken
in the Prohibition amendment fight
until within two weeks before the
election when the Dry forces of the
county organized and started a cam
paign. With their organization the
Wet forces also got busy and the
proposition of including tobacco III
the prohibition movement, seems te
have worked the game in this county
"a well as in all other tobacco dis
tricts and although complete returns
from the entire county could not b'
received last night, IA Of the 22 pre-
cincts give the vets majority of 431
