WHAT MRS. SOUTH
THINKS OF ERNST
Real Opinion of Senatorial Candi-
date Expressed IN Letter
Published In 1914

Ms. Christine Bradley South, mem
Der of the Republican National E~-
ecutive Committee, and daughter o.
the late Senator ". o. Bradley, rnu
find the candidacy of Richard
Ernst bitter pill to swallow.
Her real opinion of Mr.. Ernst
expressed in letter of hers publi'
cd in the Cincinnati Enquirer in 1"'
on TIE occasion of Ernst's race
the C o P nomination for Senat'
In = she says:
"For political purposes nv fathc,
name is being improperly used
in the interest of the candidacy
Richard P. Ernst =. The atter7~
is also thereby made to give the j.,
nrcssion that these friends are doin,.
what my father would have done We,
he alive today.
"It was we'll known to all who
were intimate friends of fathe'';
that he strongly opposed Mr.. Ernst
candidacv on the ground that aftc.
father received the unanimous nolhin-
alton Of his party for Senator in tFf
legislative caucus of 1908 Mr. Ems
though claiming to be a Republican
opposed his election as Senator and
sought to prevent it."
Mrs. South further says:
"That Mr. Ernst could have per-
nlitted his personal feelings, or his
jealousy, or whatever other motive.
have inspired him to cause him to at
tempt to bring about the defeat of
duly nominated candidate of the re-
publican party, was in my fathers
judgment dereliction which destroy
ed Mr.. Ernst's claim upon the party
for the support of his nomination as
candidate for the Senate"
In justification Of her action, Mrs.
South says:
"Often have l heard my father ex-
press himself on the subject and par
ticularly short time before his
death"
1t was largely the influence of the
late Senator Bradley expressed thru
this letter of his daughter that caused
Mr.. Ernst's defeat in the primary by
Augustus E. Wilson. Realizing that
Mr.. Ernst could not win at the pri-
mary because he is not a strong can
didate among the republicans them
selves the party bosses declined to let
him stand for nomination in 1913
when DR.. Ben L. Briner ran. Last
year, however. at the republican cor
didate.

WEIGH COMES TO
HANDLE STORE HERE
Famous Young Business Man oi
Berea to Actively Manage
Richmond Welch Co.

Announcement has been made that
John w. WelcE, of Berea, will come
to Richmond November 1st to assume
active management of the Richmond
Welch Company. He will fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
M. J. McSween, who returns to
Texas.
The coming Of Mr.. Welch to Rich
mond as an active business man, will
prove decided event in the CONNER
cial life of this community. He al
ready is well known and has a host
of friends here who will extend him
cordial welcome. There is perhaps
no better known young business man
in Kentucky than he. His success
with the Welch Department Stores a.
Berea, the management of which he
took over at the death of his father,
the late S. E .Welch, has been phen-
onemal and the subject of comment
in trade journals and other medic
over the country. He recently sold the
major portion of these establish
ments to a syndicate of BeIea bus
mess men. He was the prime mover
in the establishment of the Richmond
Welch Company here, but up to thi.;
time, has not given his personal at
tention to the management. Will,
the aggressive policies which feature
any business enterprise to which he
turns his hand, it is being predicted
that the local concern will go for
ward by leaps and bounds with the
new manager at the helm.

Mrs. Samuel w. Wilson, of Lex
ington, chairman of the Democratic
Women's Campaign for Kentucky,
has issued the following final appeal
to the women voters of this state to-
day: -
The tide has set in strongly fol
Cox and Roosevelt, and victory for
the great American principles fol-
which they stand.
From every part of Kentucky, and
every part of the United States, have
come messages of encouragement and
cheer. We deserve to win and we
are going to win.
But in these closing days of the
campaign, we, who have had the priv
ilege of striving for the Right, must
not relax our efforts or waver for an
instant in our whole-hearted devotion
to the greatest cause that has ever
engaged the thoughts or challenged
the advocacy of the American people.
We must not only strive for a
clean-cut and decisive victory, but we
should strain every nerve to make the
victory overwhelming and unmistak-
able in its significance, so that its
moral effect may be complete 1t must
be SO striking that no Senate, how
ever constituted, will dare to trifle
with the declared will of the Ameri-
lean people. or wilfully refuse its con-

CANDIDATES. Names
NOT ON THE BALLOTS

In order that new voters may not
become confused because the names
of the presidential candidates do not
appear on the ballots for use Tues
day, workers are calling their atten-
tion to the fact that stamp in the
circle under the party emblem will
vote the straight ticket. For instance,
if you wish to vote for Cox, put a
cross mark in the circle under the
rooster, and if you are going to vote
for Harding, vote in the circle under
the cabin. This votes the straight
ticket The names of the candidates
for the presidency or vice presidency
do not appear on the ballots, but they
are formally chosen by the presiden-
tial electors whose names do appear
above the names of the candidates for
the U. S. Senatorship and Congress
man, on the ballots which will be vot-
ed Tuesday.
Democrats should remember that
one mark, right in the circle under
the rooster is all that is necessary
and is a vote for Cox and the demo-
cratic ticket straight.

MADISON STUDENTS
ISSUE COLD Smile

1t was a cold but yet a pleasing
smile Jpn the countenance of a
number of boys and girls Friday
morning when they entered the
Madison High school. There were
some red noses when the students
arrived, and the atmosphere was
not conducive to change, and
finally, after mucll-very much
(some affected )suffering upon
the part of the students-that
longed-for announcement came
1t was to the effect that there
would be no school owing to the
lack of heat. This pleasing infor-
nation was followed by an abrupt
dismissal and the dispensing rep
resented a record-breaking fire
drill.
Owing to the various improve
ments at the building during the
summer. the heating apparatus
had not been thoroughly adjust

EIGHTH DISTRICT PRIDE
political Advertisement,


Hon. King Swope, who is asking
to be returned to Congress from the
Eighth district, is a young man of
whom all the citizens of the district
should be proud. Having graduated
in the Danville schools and havisg
College, Lexington, he entered upon
his profession with all evidences of
a career which would class him with
Clay and Breckenridge. When tn,
war clouds gathered over the nation,
he entered the service of his country
and made record in the army to
which the coming generation may
point with pride. Having served
during the World War, at it's close
he returned home, and was elected
to Congress in a democratic district,
defeating one of the most popular
men in the district. In Congress he
has made most enviable record. He
has devoted his time and ability to
wise and helpful legislation, ever
keeping in mind the needs and well
fare of his constituents. His inter
est in legislation affecting the SOL
der and his dependents, his stand
for the farmer and the laboring
classes should draw to him large sup
port from all parties. As n recog-
milton of his services and ability he
was assigned important committee
duties, being a member Of the COM
mittee sent to California to investi-
gate the Japanese situation. In the
heat of political contest we may
overlook this signal honor which
comes to one Of ou- citizens, but In
the years to come, when we are per-
mitted to look back upon the history
Of the Eighth district, one of its
brightest spots will be the election
of King Swope for the second time
to Congress. When this matter is
considered soberly and rightly, the
men and women of our country, re-
gardles of past party affiliations will
vote to Congress this gallant young
soldier to Congress and by so DOING
say to the coming young men and
women among US, that the people of
this district will always regard abil-
ity and honesty and services. Con-
gresham Swope is credit to the
Eighth district and his election will
inspire hope in the bosom of every
aspiring young person in the dis
trict. Vote for Swope!

TO THE WOMEN OF KENTUCKY

sent to the ratification of the League
of Nations.
In this connection it should be
borne in mind that it is imperative
that Gov. Cox be surrounded by
men in harmony with his progressive
policies and his program for the es-
tablishment of world peace. In Ken
lucky the only candidates before the
people for the Senate who will sup
port Governor Cox as President, is
Senator J. C. w. Beckham, always a
leader of the moral forces of the state
and consistent advocate of the Lea
que of Nations. A vote for Governd
Cox's supporters is, just as essential
as is one for him by those who de-
sire to insure Americas entrance into
the League.
The fate of the League of Nations
in which the honor of our country, the
good name of Kentucky, and the fu-
ture peace of the world are INSOFAR
ably bound up, rest largely in the
hands of the women of our stAte
Whatever happens in other states, let
Us, at all events, be sure that, in this
crisis, the women of Kentucky do not
fall short OF the unselfish and patri-
otic standards set for US in the long
ago by the brave, self-sacrificing
pioneer Women of the West"
