Returns received from the Thirty
fourth Senatorial District indicate the
re- election of DR.. j, d. Whitaker Of

dent pro tenn and other officers, and
draw up the rules of procedure. The
Democrats will control the House by

to 800. His opponent. NJ. S. Grain Of
jackson. Republican. was credited with
carrying Lee county by 437. and Ma
Coffin county by 51s This apparently
gave the present Senator a lead OF 495
to 1,045, to offstand any lead which his
opponent may have had in Breathitt
county. ~

THE ABANDONED SHRINE


There's a little old church at the
fork of the road,-a landmark, dis
mantled and grey where once
the warm fires of humanity glowed,
Yes, an old country church, where
the ravage of Time its plan of de-
struction pursues. - Where the
looks down on the worm-eaten pews.
= And the old congregation
lies, sleeping, serene, where the
spread of Gods Acre enthralls. :
They hear not tn eroar of HUI
manity's tide, nor the plant when the
whip-poor-will calls, Thus,
the little old church, at the forks of
the road, divinely yet mutely holds
sway.-till Time with his sickle, and
Tide with his goad, shall have swept
her last fragment away. ****
This house was the Mecca of sim
ner and saint, in the halcyon days of
her youth. *** From her Holy of
Holies of vestibule quaint, they
quaffed at the Fountain of Truth,
but the spire in the City hath crown
ed in its might, greater and grander
abode-till, only the Angels may
pause in their flight, DER the church
at the forks of the road. Uncle John.

eral wealthy and prominent men on

The Marshall, her bow and stern

City shore Monday night. Her captain
and mate escaped in a swift motor
boat, leaving foud members of the.

men that federal officials obtained
what they declared was startling"

V0NDERFUL ACHIEVEMENTS
Of DEMOCRATIC PARTY

stroyed by Republican congress
Withholding appropriations for it's
support.
1t was a Democratic president who
appeared before congress and urged
that the woman suffrage amendment
be submitted to the states for ratifi-
cation.
list of other measures enacted
under a Democratic administration
for the public welfare could be named.
but to what single measure can the
Republican party, since its two years
in power, point with pride in the in
terest of the great majority of Ameri-
can citizens? Let it be remembered
that the Republican party has had a
majority in both branches of congress
for the past two years.
Our great leader, Woodrow Wilson.
was stricken down before his admin
stration came to close, but the
great record which the Democratic
party made under his leadership will
always be an inspiration to those
whose hearts go out to struggling
humanity. He was cut down in the
prime of life, but his words and deeds
will be forever honored and cherished
because he labored for humanity with
the ideals of the Democratic party al
ways before him as his guiding star.
Let those who love justice and equal
ity before the law: let those who be-
lieve in serving the masses rather
than the classes: let those who want
to see America take her rightful place
as the leader of nations strike hands
with the Democratic party, so that
progress and not reaction shall be our
national policy.
