REPUBLICANS MAY
COMPROMISE IN 9TH
Move On Foot To Make Bastin
Committeeman and Wallace
Delegate

Reports have it that before the
republican county conventions are
held at the various county seats in
the 9Th district rext Saturday
that compromise will have been
reached between the candidates
for the various party honors. In
other words the dove of peace is
said to have been invited to step
in and compose the differences
that exist in regard to selection
of delegates, district chairman
and other honors that may be
conferred.
Rumors are floating about to
the effect that all three of the
candidates for State Executive
Committeemep will retire from
the race, and that new man, not
hitherto mentioned, will be given
the honor without opposition. Ur
to now VIII o. Mays, of Rich
mond, Will Hanna, of Shelby
county, and George d. Florence,
of Lincoln county, have been ac
tive for the place, which Mr.. Flor
ence has held for the past four
years. Mr.. Hanna is now Com
missioner of Agriculture at
Frankfort, and Mr.. Mays, a first
cousin of Gov. Morrow. is also in
very strong position in the race.
His friends have been claiming
that he has the race won.
The compromise man said to
have been agreed upon, is I1enly
Bastin, of Garrard county, who is
one of the best Known young re-
publicans in the district. He has
never held office and his selection
is being urged, it is said, as hap
py compromise between friends
of all the candidates, SO as to pre-
serve party harmony in the dis
trict. The scrap between friends
of the three candidates in the field
promises to become rather inter
eSting when the district conven-
tion is held at Danville, March 2,
unless some arrangement is
reached. Friends OF Mr.. Mays
are insisting that he must be ia
ken care Of properly in any ar
rangement that is made as-jt is
conceded that he is the strongest
candidate for the place and i'll a
position to WELD an influence
that others cannot secure.
Such a compromise as above
outlined, while not finally deter
mined upon. if arranged. will also
mean that William Wallace, OF
Richmond. Will be assured cleo
ton as a delegate to the national
convention at Chicago At pres
ent. it is understood that a warm
contest for this honor is also
brewing, and selection Of the pop
ular young local republican with
out opposition would prove a very
strong move by his party.

CARRARD AND BOYLE
ARE WORKING HARD
On Federal Highway Plans And
Madison Should Not Lag-Mr.
Lc9forfs Strong Argument

Those Garrard and Boyle folks
are going about this Federal
Highway proposition in way
that means business. Both are
boosting the bond issues they will
vote on to provide their counties
funds to build the model road.
Fortunately Madison does not
have to vote bonds, but only raise
about $4,000 by subscription, and
most of that will be raised along
The Lancaster pike which will be
rebuilt. Pledges are now being
made t. help the good cause By
other public spirited citizens.
People all along the proposed
highway are taking the liveliest
interest iii it and with such splen-
did support, it cannot fail. A
prominent citizen of Paint Lick,
Mr.. r. Fl. Ledford, writes
strong argument for the highway
IN this weeks Lancaster Record.
It is SO good that the Daily Reg
ister republishes it herewith:
Paint Lick, KY, Feb. II, 1920
The Central Record:
You have asked for the citizens
OF Garrard county to express
themselves on the bond issue of
'the Federal Highway, or in other
words, "Do we want better roads
for less money!"
Our roads are the arteries of
trade and commerce, and are the
making or .unmaking of our coun-
try, and this being the case, ]
have my first man to see that op-
poses this bond issue.
Over and above all else. let Our
different county administrations
give us good roads and good good
schools and when these two
things are a living reality, you
will see people wanting to come
to Garrard county, and will see
none that wants to leave.
When we consider better roads
with no increase of taxation, why
shouldn't we he in favor of it !? :
The Federal Government wants
70 give us 100000 to be expended
on our main pike leading thru
the -countXLf we don't get this
money, this same identical road
must be kept UP with. county
funds, but if we vote these bonds
and pay our 40 or. As per cent Of
this cost, then the road money IS
released, to apply on all side pixies
that otherwise would have to be
expended on the main pike.
And then again, the word
Federal" when coupled to ous
road, is sufficient guarantee that
this road will not only be built
but we'll kept up. Let. one and
all work together for this road.
and let no one be found pulling
back. r. H. LEDFORD. {.

Oh May Shcat Up Again

The market for Pennsylvania
crude oil was thrown wide open
at Pittsburg last week, by the an
nouncement Of the Joseph Seep
Purchasing Agency that, begin
ming March 10, it would no longer
sell oil to individual refners. The
reason was that it did not have
enough oil for its own business.
So scare is oil Of all kinds that
scouts ahve been sent into the diff
ferent fields in the hope OF picking
up oil in sufficient quantities to
keep the independent refneries
going. One refinery, it was stat
ed, was trying to buy oil by the
trainload," while others, not so
firmly entrenched financially,
were endeavoring to get it i'll
smaller quantities. The action of
the. Seep Agency, it was said by
veteran oil men. would return the
market to the conditions which
prevailed years ago, when there
was no powerful buying agency
through which prices were stabii-
lied. No one would predict to
what heights quotations would go
but refiners, without their own
crude production, it was stated,
would be compelled to get oil
wherever it could and pay such
prices as producers saw fit to de-
nand.
