Registration results in the cit
les Of the Eighth Congressional
District augur a Democratic vic
tory in that district in the com.
ing Presidential election.
In the special election of Au-
gust 1919 this district sent King
Swope, Republican, to Congress,
but in the regular election last
year in the face of the Republi-
can landslide throughout the
State it turned to the Democratic
column.
An analysis of the registration
fignres in the cities of the dis
trict indicates that it will go
Democratic this year by even a
more deceive margin than it did
last year. This will mean the
election of Judge Ralph Gilbert
to Congress and the defeat of
King Swope, who is running for
reelection.
The facts as to the principal
towns in the Eighth:
ShelbyvilIe, which usually reg
isteres about rs Republican
went 80 Democratic on the face
Of the registration, for the first
time in its history. This is an
overturn of LOT votes. -,

ed to 200 Democratic. -

istration. This is a switch of LAP.
Harrodsburg normally breaks
about even. 1t went 81 Demo-
cratic in the registration.
Richmond ordinarily goes $50
Republican. 1t shows a Demo-
cratic reistration majority of l25
today. This is a switch of 275
votes.
Danville which usally goes a.
bout lbs Republican went Is this
time, a gain of 112.
In these six cities therefore the
Democrats have gained more
than 800 over past shoWings in
presidential election years, AS
the rural sections of all of these
counties except Madison which
contains Richmond, are normal
ly Democratic, the Democratic
managers assert that no conclus-
ion except that of a Democratic
victory can be drawn from these
figures. The best political obser-
vers in the Eighth District be-
Iieves that it will go from 1000 to
to 5000.

bIem of pride that must BE- yours
to have laid so costly a sacrifice
