NEW. KEYSTONE COMEDY REEL

-
Next Tuesday Is election day and
two important questions will be de-
cided by the American people, the
decisions in each case to serve as a
guide for the years to come. The
first will be the attitude of the
voters towards the much mooted
League of Nations, and in addition
to settling a nationwide dispute on
the question 1t win serve as a guide
to just how far the people Of Amer
lea want to go in making connect
ing relations with foreign countries.
The decision Tuesday on the League
Of Nations will be final. The other
question to settle will be the con-
test between the moneyed interests
and boodlers on one side against the
people on the other. 1t will be de-
termined whether the American peo-
pie can be bluffed, browbeaten and
bought to support the candidacy OF
Harding, a mere tool of the money
trust and profiteers. Here we have
the spectacle of a man who does
not impress even his hackers or
supporters, has wiggled and wob-

the Republican bosses propose to
force him on the people as Presi-
dent OF these United States. The
laying off of workingmen and wo-
men in big factories just now is
part of the bluff propaganda, and
although the working people have
had their prosperous existence un-
der Democratic reign they are told
ees
and Figurehead Harding is their
only salvation. Millions of dollars
are being scattered to corrupt the
election and we will all know Tues
day night whether a Presidency can
be bought and the American voters
bluffed at the same time.
N It IL. glad to note that Kentucky
is rapidly repenting for ITS mistake
6s last year and doubly glad to
know that "Howdy Ed" the mistake
OF last year, is helping to right the
wrong. Selected Governor by a ma
jority of 10000, the voters have
soured on him so fast after discov-
ering his real ability that II is
doubtful II he could be elected Con-
stable tomorrow In the Hogwallow
district. Just as was stated in these
IH6Hg hOITOW 10 I'LL OldlOl
of the ba1lyhoo type with no pre-
tensions to craftsmanship, and his
reasoning and argument appeal only
to the negro or ignorant mountain
eer. AS a sample of his cheap and
tawdry style the telegram OF his to
the Center College College football
team last Saturday is a fair cri-
terion. Just think of the Governor

and sacrilegious message such as
the following to bunch of football
players: "For Gods sake make
One can hardly blame Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart, of the Women's
Democratic headquarters, when she
refers to "Howdy Ed" as being In a
class with Charles Chaplin rather
than q worthy successor to Ken
tucky's former Governors. If you
want to meet real down-in-the-
mouth voter and a gloom-of-glooms,
talk to some misguided Democrat
that fell into the error of voting for
our ballyhoo Governor last year.
The biunder in electing Morrow
and Gov. Cox's natural strength will
redeem that Republican majority of
iority for Gov. Cox next Tuesday,
and IL It wasn't for the handicap of
Senator Beckham Kentucky would
give an old-time majority for the
Democratic ticket. There are many
Democratic voters who, In their
anxiety and determination to scratch
the unpopular Beckham, will vote
the straight Republican ticket. An
other mistake of the party was to
allow Haly and Beckham to "hog"
the State Campaign Committee,
planting their prohibitionist allies
at every corner, men who are for
Beckham first and serve as a him
drance to Gov. Cox and the Demo-
cratic Congressional nominees. De-
spite this the Democratic party can
be proud OF its showing and Ken
lucky. will be found in the Gov. Cox
column Tuesday night. In this dis
trict Prof. James H. Richmond. the
Democratic Congressional nominee,
has made q wonderful canvass, be-
coming acquainted with q wide cir
Gle of voters, and on these he has
made a distinct impression. The
Democratic nominee possesses force
and character and the Fifth district
could be well proud OF its repre-
sentative in the event of his cleo
ton. 1t Is believed that Prof. Rich
mond Will receive IS per cent. OF
the registered independent vote.
The result in this district the
writer considers IN doubt simply be-
cause the white and Democratic
voters have been robbed and de-
branded In advance of the election
by unfair and unjust redistricting.
Precincts have been so adjusted that
approximately 5000 white people
will be deprived Of their rights as
citizens next Tuesday through con-
gested white precincts. Negro pre-
cincts have been SO adjusted that
negro men and women Republicans
can all pretty near stand In their
front or side door and cast their
vote for the Republican ticket, and
all can be enrolled by noon, as the
negro precincts average 225 voters
