Vote IN NOVEMBER
Republican Leaders Promise That Bill
WIN Be Passed Permitting Women
To Vote For President.

Frankfort, KY, March 3. - The re-
quest of one branch of the Kentucky
woman suffrage organization for the
submission of suffrage amendment
to the state constitution has been de-
nfed Oy the State Ecs'-,,. ture, but Ken
lucky women will vote at the Novem-
ber elections of this year.
If the Anthony amendment to the
Federal constitution which the Legis-

ratified by sufficient number of
states then equal suffrage will be
given.
However, in Kentucky, women are
to be given their right to vote upon
presidential candidates by act of the
Legislature
Republican leaders have given posi-
tive assurance that before the end of
the session the bill granting women
the right to vote in presidential elec-
tions VIII be passed, 1t was introduced
in the House by Representative Joseph
Lazarus. the Republican floor leader
and in the upper house by Senator
Hiram Brock, the spokesman for the
administration in that body.
The fall elections will see women OF
Kentucky attain the goal for which
they have worked for many years and
only one thing remains to guarantee
them the rights of suffrage in full anG
without question That is the adop,
tion of a state suffrage amendment ant
the next Legislature can not fail tC
accede to this request.

HOG CHOLERA NEAR RIPLEY.

The Ripley Bee says: "Mr. Thos.
Whisner has lost forty-two head of
hogs by death from cholera in the past
two weeks, and has number of others
sick from it.
"He sent to Columbus for a state
veterinarian, and DR.. Maxwell was
sent here Friday. He went to Mr..
Whisners home, and after killing one
of the hogs and making thorough ex-
animation, pronounced the disease
cholera belond doubt.
"Mr. Whisner warns all persons
against bringing any kind of stock On
his place, as he does not want to have
the disease spread through the county,
"He will likely lose thousand dol
lars worth of hogs himself"

HERT and HARMONY
IS WATCRWORD OF
STATE CONVENTION
Republicans Of Kentucky Meet In
Louisville This Afternoon and To-
night IN Ti,leits State CenxeEt!GH
Big Meet Certain.

louisville, Ky. March 3. - Repub-
lican leaders from all sections of Ken
tucky began arriving in Louisville last
night to get an "early line" on the pro-
gram to be put through at the state
convention to be conducted in Phoenix
Hall this afternoon and tonight The
convention will be called to order by
Ed T. Franks, of Owensboro, Chairman
of the State Central Committee.
At the Second District convention in
Henderson yesterday Franks was de-
MED Endorsement for a place on the
State Central Committee, a post of
honor he has occupied in the party for
many years. Objection to Franks, 1t
Is said, was due to his advocacy OF
the claim of former Governor A. e.
Wilson. who is seeking the Repub-
lican nomination for the United States
Senatorship. The state organization is
said to look with favor upon the as
pirations of Richard r. Ernst, of Cow
ington. in connection with the nomina-
ton.
The principal speaker of the con-
vention will be Will P. Hays, Chair
man of the National Committee. Gov
ernor Morrow will deliver the key
~NAte speech.
"Hert ard Harmony will be the
watchword at the gathering of the
clans. Serious opposition to the plans
of Hert's supporters is not anticipated
but it was learned that negroes of the
Fifth District will make a stand
against the candidacy of Roscoe Conk-
ling Simmons as negro delegate of the
"Big Four" to be sent to Chicago. Sim
mons, it is said, is not even register
ed Republican and did not participate
in the Fifth District convention last
night. Other delegates of the "Bie
certainly will include Governor
gmP. Morrow Mr.. Hert and prob
fJly Mrs. John G. South, of Frankfort
". Mrs. John w. Langley, wife OF
the Congressman from the Tenth Dis
trict, is opposing Mrs. South. and indi-
cations are that spirited contest will
be waged to annex the honor of being
\ Kentucky's first woman delegate to q
national convention.

JUDGE COCHRAN
STATES POSITION ON
water FILTRATION
FavOrs City Building Filtration Plant
If Water Company VIII Issue Stock
To Cover City's Expenditure
OF Money.

Federal Judge A. M. j. Cochran has
taken considerable interest in the
present water situation and to make
his position perfectly clear to all this
afternoon issued this statement:
Maysville, KY, March Srd, 1920.
The Daily Public Ledger:
If the Maysville Water Company
will provide and agree to operate
proper filtration plant upon the City
of Maysville furnishing the money to
pay the cost of its erection and agree
ing to a modification of the present
contract so as to require no more wa
ter to be pumped to the reservoirs
than is reasonably necessary, the City
of Maysville to receive stock therefor
in the Water Company subordinate to
any present outstanding stock and to
receive credit therefor If it should
ever purchase the plant upon an ap-
praisal under the existing contract, l
would favor the City of Maysville pay
ing the cost of such erection. The
City of Maysvllle should be putin DO
sition to know exactly the amount of
such cost. My own judgment is that
now is not the time to incur such ex-
penditure, but l would waive this If
1t is thought best to take the matter up
at once. The payment of anything
more than this will be to reimburse
the Water Company for losses incur
red by mismanagement which the City
should not have to stand. l am salts
fed that if the Water Company is man
aged on business lines under such an
arrangement it will receive a good re-
turn on all money that 1t has invest
ed in the property apart from such
losses and the Likelihood is that it
will reimburse itself for such losses.
In the meantime and at once the City
and the State Board of Health should
insist and see to it that the Water
Company adopts such means for puri-
] fication as are to be had under exist
lrcumstances. / have no more

rs this in his report and the

hydrants than have been contracted
for, would favor that the Water Com
pany should be paid reasonable rent

tucked between hip and knee. Tucks
are better for women OF welldevelop-
ed figure, but for the youthful and
slender, narrow iounces are frequent
ly substituted, and the effect is I'M
usually graceful and youthful.
No material holds a higher place
in the affections OF women OF discrim-
ination than does velvet. It Is used
for one-piece frocks for all occasions,
tailleurs and evening gowns. OF
course, there Is a difference in the
texture and design Of the velvets en-
ployed on various occasions. Fashion
would have TO do this TO safeguard her
reputation for originality, but the av-
ersge woman will confns her choice
TO the less expensive velvets and vel
veteens which sell at prices OF one
figure.
In combination with satin, vel
veteen is more than desirable. One
OF the striking models for Fall shows
a kimono bodice with deeply cut
front to which is attached a straight
gathered tunic. For the foundation
there Is a gathered skirt OF satin. The
scheme Is all black. even 10 the en-
broidered border on the tunic and
short sleeves, except for a vest OF
creamwhite georgette.
The inexpensive woolensl are de-
veloped as attractively as the costly
duvetyns and velours-and combined
with contrasting materials quite as ef.
lfectively. Plain silk poplin and plaid
wool voile are used for a frock which
features an overblouse cut out at cen
lter-back and centerfront TO form pan.

the lower edges, in contrast TO the
straight edge OF the underdress. The
sleeves are finished with puffs inserted
underneath and gathered TO straight
bands. For the neck a collar Of self
material or one OF the dainty detach
able effects with which the shop
abound may be employed.
Much is being said and writer
about sleeves at this time. A consen
sus OF the best opinion obtainable
however, is that both long and short
sleeves will be worn. Comfort as well
as good taste will direct the fortunes
OF the latter, but the coming OF cold
weather does not seriously threateI
the continued popularity Of the shor
