WHAT'S DOING
IN POLITICS

With the appointment OF an execu-
tive committee Of men and women to
guide the policies of the campaign, the
democrats have about completed their
organization. Chairman John l..
Grayot appointed the following men /:
Judge Alex p. Humphrey, Louisville ;
Senator George Il. Martin, Catletts-
burg; Judge Chas. A. Hardin, Har-
rodsburg; Col. p. II. Callahan, Louis
Vile; Senator Chas. M. Harriss, YER
sailles; Hon. w. J. Sparks, Mt. YER
non; Thos. s. Rhea, Russellville. Mrs.
Samuel nj. Wilson, chairman Woman's
department, has appointed the follow
Tag women TO advise with her: Mrs.
John ID. Castleman, Louisville; Mrs
A. M. Harrison, Lexington Mr.. John
Fulton, Bardstown Miss Alice LLOYD,
Maysville; Mrs. Sam Il. Watkins, Ow-
ensboro: Mrs. Shelley Rouse, Coving-
ton, and Mrs. Il. b. Phillips, Paducah.
These two groups contain the lead
ing citizens Of Kentucky, and the quail
1ty of their attachments and character
will doubtless attract the Independ-
ent as well as the Democratic voter.
William Adams, Jr., adiutant of the
stephan b. Whalen Post of the Amer
lean Legion, has accepted the appoint
ment as chairman of the Cox and
Roosevelt Club in Harrison county.
MIR. Adams Is a member of the State
Executive Board Of the American Le-
gion, and is one Of the many former
service men who recognize in the plat
form and purposes of the Democratic
party those ideals for which they went
to war.
Is there any connection between six
teen dollars ton coal and the Repub-
lican slush fund? The coal operator
who confessed at Chicago that he had
collected sixteen thousand dollars
from other coal operators to help elect
Harding says he was forced to make
these assessments. Are the people be-
ing assessed so much a ton of coal to
help elect Harding? There seems to
be distinct relation between the high
price of coal and the high price of
elections.
The League of Nations isn't good
enough for Warren G. Harding to sub
scribe to, but it's good enough for him
to steal from.
Here are a few of the oratOrical
heavy artillery who have been enlisted

paign: Gov. James NJ. Cox, Franklin

work of making Kentucky safe for
this fall. Mr.. Kinsolving

He has perfected organizations of Cox
and Roosevelt clubs in every precinct
In the state. His estimate is that there
will be four thousand young men and
young women Democratic clubs in the
state when this work gets under way,
1t is the vital duty of all organiza-
lions to awaken women to the neces-
sity of registering in October so that
they will not lose their vote in Novem-
Der. October 8 is registration day in
all cities of the first four classes In
Kentucky and also October 6, wher-
ever fixed by ordinance. 1t is impera-
i've that every white voter register on
