night:
Kentucky on November 2 will
give a majority for Governor Cox
and Franklin Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Beck ham that will not be less

Il want to warn the people of
Kentucky to be on their guard
against circulars, letters and affida-
Wits appearing on the eve of the
election, rejecting in any way on
the Democratic candidates, or their
position on any question:
The Republican ticket victorious
by $1,000 in kentucky is the claim,
of Chesley H. Searcy, State CAM
paigE Chairman, who directed the
G. o. P. forces in 1919 also.
MIR. Searcy would make no an

expects a victory other than the

A PROTEST FROM THE CITIZENS
OF MILLERSBURG

We, the citizens of Millersburg,
wish to enter our protest against the
unkind and damaging misrepresenta-
lions which have been recently cir
culated against our fellowtownsman
Mr.. Albert Moffett, in regard to the
local school situation. Millersburg's
greatest asset is her schools. Mr..
Moffett, business man of unusual
clearness of vision and integrity of
character, realizing this, has worked
with untiring energy to uphold our
schools. He has been interested not
only in the welfare of the private
schools, which have been in the COM
munity for over fifty years, but he
has also supported every move for
the betterment of the public schools.
Mr.. Moffett is emphatically not op-
posed to any school or schools but on
the contrary stands ready to aid in
the upbuilding and increase the eff
ficiency of all the schools of the
town. Mr.. Moffett is one of our
most public spirited citizens who will
continue to give unsparingly of his
time, thought and energy to further
the cause of education, of all the
schools through out the county.

LOCAL DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
COMES TO CLOSE

With speaking at several points in
the county, and the address of Major
Samuel M. Wilson, at the court
house yesterday afternoon, the DEM
ocratic campaign in Bourbon county
came to a close. Judge Denis Dun
don and Mrs. VIM. G. Talbot adj
dressed the voters of the Shawhan
precinct, at Shawhan, Saturday
night, Major Wilson spoke 10 a large
audience of enthusiastic Democrats,
yesterday afternoon, and Judge Geo.
Batterton and County Attorney D. n.
Cline addressed a large audience a.
Jackstown last night, winding up
the speaking part of the campaign.
To-day the battle of ballots is on in
earnest. From six this morning to
four this afternoon the workers, both
men and women, will be busy fer
both parties.
The campaign for the election of
Ihe Democratic National ticket,
headed by the distinguished states
men, Gov. James M. Cox, and Frank
lin .. Roosevelt, was waged in this
city and county without display of
red fire, fireworks, brass bands or
any other form of noisy de,monstra
ton. All the Democratic leaders
have done excellent work. We de-
sire 10 especially commend the Dem
ocratic County Campaign Chairman,
Will G. McClintock and Mrs. VIM.
G.. Talbot, chairman of the womeL
workers, and their able corp of
assistants T hey were busy day and
night in the work of organization
and education of voters, especially
the women, to whom the business OF
voting came as trial, to some ex-
tent. When the vote of Bourbcl
county s counted tonight the fruits
be apparent to all. Great enthus'-
be appreciated to all. Great enthuSi-
asm was aroused among the voters
throughout the county on account o.
the organization built up by the
men and women back of this work
for the ticket.
THE NEWS took some part in the
campaign. 1t advocated the cleo
ZION of the Democratic ticket from
top to bottom, as it has always done.
1t did this from principle, and tor
no other reason. And we feel I'M
mensely satisfied with our part In the
great struggle.
The speakers who went out TO ad-
dress the voters always found large
crowds to address, and these croWds
went away from TIE speakings well
pleased and ready to do battle for
Democratic principles and party sue
cess at the opening of the polls TINS
morning.
The good women Of the city aud
county. hundreds of whom will vote
to-day for the first time, are aroused
as never before in any previous cleo
tion. and it is safe to say that ninety
five per cent. of the women OF Bour'
bon county VIII vote at the election
booths to-day, and thai tteir votes
will help to roll up the biggest
Democratic majority Bourbon county
ever gave. This is the most impor-
tant election since 1860, and the
issues are far-reaching in their i'm

FORMER PARISIANS MAKE RAD
POLICE RECORD

Paris people will recall with. vary
ing degrees Of emotions, the time
when Jimmie Ward and his family
were residents Of this city. Trouble
began early in the lives of the Ward
boys. who were always having
something doing" 1t was a ccld
day in Angus, when the Paris police
were not called to settle with jim
mic Wards boys" Their mischevi-
Gus activities knew no bounds, and
ihey respected neither persons or
property. A recent issue of the Gin
c1nnati Commercial-Tribun gives a
review OF later-day events in the his
tory of the Ward boys after they left
Paris and settled in Covington. The
Tribune SAYS:
When the cell door was locked be-
hind Mike Ward, 33 years old. who
shot and killed Thos Mahoney, sc
years old, Ironton, O., in JOS Jen-
sens saloon, Pike and Russell
streets. Covington, on Wednesday
night, Covington police said they be-
lieved they had succeeded in round
ing up the last of the Wards, fam
lily of fiv, brothers, whose deeds have
been recorded on police registers III
all the large cities of Kentucky dur
ing the last twenty years.
1.-The five brothers were known to
detectives and the underworld Of
Northern Kentucky cities as the
kentucky James Boys Mike, the
prisoner, and his brother, Owen, who
was killed in an attempted robbery
in Kansas several years ago, were re-
garded as the most desperate Of the
quintet.
Ward, 33 years old, was born in
Paris, KY, and came to Covington
with his parents when a small boy.
Other b, others John, Owen, James
and Edward, also at an early age,
drew the attention of the police
About five years ago former pa
trolman, Marty O'Herron. who was y
private Waterman in the residential
district of Wallace avenue. COving-
| ton, was shot and killed. Later the
Kenton county grand jury returned
an indictment against john and
Owen Ward, charging them with the
murder Of O'Herron.
Both men suddenly disappeared
from their haunts in Covington. Two
years later Owen Ward was killed oy
the Kansas City police while staging
restaurant holdup in that city.
The police have lost track or John
Ward. The other two brothers. Ed

TELEGRAM TO CHAIRMAN THOM

STATE CHAIRMAN

w. A. ThOmasOn. Chairman of the
republican County Committee, Paris.
ky., has received the following tele-
gam:
Louisville. KY. Oct. %, 1920.
w. A. Ihomason, Paris, Ky.
Inc elimination of the Democratic
campaign falsehood and appeal tc
prejudice has come in the circulation
of outrageous Misrepresentation of
Warren G. Harding. Senator Harc-
1ngs life, private and public. has,
been under the closest scrutiny of
the people of his home State since his
birth. They know him and all his
connection. He is beloved and re-
spected by his neighbors. The peo-
pie of his home State, home town.
have twice elected him to the Legis-
lature. The people of Ohio elected
him their Lieutenant Governor and
he was chosen to represent his hone
State in the United States Senate by
more than 100000 majority. Under
the searching scrutiny of the public
duriLg this long career he has thus
emerged an honored and beloved cit
izen. The base appeals which are be
ing brought out at this last hour of
the Democratic campaign of misrer-
resentation are denounced by the Re-
publican State Committee as corr
mon falsehoods. Persons guilty of
circulating these libelous statements
are as responsible under the law as
those who originated them and the
Republican State Committee desires
information that will lead to prose
cutiOn.
