ERNST AND BLAIR
TO GET A Big VOTE Z
HERE ON TUESDAY
Republican Candidates for United
States Senator and Congressman
VIII Receive Support Of Many
Democrats In Mason County.

During the past two weeks there
has>been much interest in therace for
United States Senator from Kentucky
shown in Mason county. Senator ]. c.
W. Beckham is making the race for
reelection against Richard P. Ernst
of Covington Mr. Ernst has many
personal friends in Mason county and
his character and reputation have ap-
pealed to the voters of this county.
From the interest displayed in this
race Just before the election it ap-
pears that there will be many Demo-
Gratis who will support the Repub-
lican candidate for Senator at the
polls Tuesday. Senator Beckham has
+ never been very popular among Mason
county people and he is probably less
popular in this race than in any race
that he has yet made in this state
Forecasts by Democrats on the Sen.
atorial race are not so encouraging tC
the Senator and there is every reason
to believe that the Covington man will
have defeated him when the votes are
counted on Tuesday evening.
Judge W. G. Blair, the Republican
nominee for Congressman, will alst
poll large vote. His opponent Con
gresham W. J. Fields, has never beer
popular with Mason county Demo
Gratis and Judge Blairs ability is ap
pealing strongly to the Independent
voters.

for the moment frustrated in her haste
by a long freight train which had come
to q stop.
Resolved not to be late the girl started
to climb over the barricade between two
cars. The train received terrific bump
just as she made the hrst step and she
fell beneath the wheels.
MiracuIously the girl escaped death.
