QUAINT EXPRESSIONS IN STATE
POLITICS

Kentucky politics abounds in a
variety of expressive terms and
quaint colloquialisms, many Of
which have become time-honored in
their usage. Some of the political
terms and expressions are of State
wide character, while others are
confined to a section.
Kentucky, but now having nation
wide usage, are Politics Is He'll"
and "Going Up Salt River" The
first has been adopted as the most
expressive aphorism applicable to
political reverses and the other is
applied to defeated candidates gen.
orally in or out Of Kentucky.
Sufficiently shod to go through
the briar patch" is a much used
mountain political expression and
translated means that the candidate
for Office has the "wherewith" and
is well-heeled financially to meet
the demands made upon him in his
quest for public preferment.
The voter that barters his suf-
FARCE is generally termed "float-
err" but in some parts of the State
he is called "boodler" and in 9TH
ers "blood-sucker" or a 'louse."
That he is in the race from "eend
to eend," means that the candidate
will not withdraw. but will run it
out to the finish. Running like a
'skeered' dog" means that the can
didate for office is not allowing any
over-confdence in the result to di-
minish any of his campaign activi-
ties.
Beating the bushes" refers to a
close and systematic canvass for
votes and a "stillhunt" means con-
Quoting a race or campaign on the
quiet without attracting the atten-
ton of the opposition. 'Sore spots
designate post-election bitterness
and bad feeling. "Yaller dog" is
an uncompromising partisan that
will not scratch" or vote for the
candidates of another party.

ington, Cynthiana and Maysville be-
ing present, Paris by proxy held by
| Cynthiana, the game in which
Ballou, King, Bacon, Mueller (while
playing with Lexington) and Potts
were protested. The claim being
that they were ineligible players.
ION investigation 1 found that Ba-
con was a suspended player, King
belongs to Louisville, Mueller by the
statement of Morton in the meeting
was taken on same and the games
in which they played were forfeited.
The vote being Cynthiana, Maysville
and Lexington, Yes; Mt Sterling,
No. Cynthiana refused to vote the
proxie of Paris, hence the following
games were forfeited: Mt. Sterling
vs. Lexington, Bacon pitching,
awarded to Winchester, Cynthiana
VS.. Lexington, Mueller pitching,
awarded to Cynthiana. The games
in which Potts played were also pro-
| tested and they are under investiga-
| tion. Just as soon as answers are
received from Secretary Farrell they
will be promulgated, however if they
are forfeited or not, they will have
no bearing on the standing, as
have tabulated them in the Mt. Ster-
| ling column. In the games of Ballou
have a telegram from Secretary
Farrell saying that the games in
which Ballou played are o. K, and
he is the judge of same. However,
you can appeal from his decision to
the National Board of Governors.

and figuring that went on at the
conclusion of the Blue Grass League

The forfeited games due to oppo-

Genoa.-The representatives of the powers which convened the Genoa con- ference, together with the little en- tente, after an all-day discussion, de- cided to continue the economic confer ence, regardless of the attitude of Ger many and Russia.
 A strong note was prepared and sent to the German delegation, which de clared that "Germany's act had de- ytrOyed the spirit of mutual confidence indispensable to international co-opera- ton, and informing Germany that she Is debarred from further participation in discussion of Russian affairs at the economic conference.
 The meeting was held at the Villa Raggio, Premier Facia's home.
 The discussions at the meeting were calm and dignified, although consider able differences of opinion existed. Two groups formed, one led by Eng land, and the other by France, while the Italian delegates displayed a con- ciliatory attitude. Some of the extrem- lsts are said to have proposed break ing up the conference, but majority favored awaiting MOscow's reply to the allied demands.
 According to information from French sources, NIT. Lloyd George em- phasized the necessity of adopting a severe attitude toward both Russia and Germany, but especially against Germany, pointing out that Germany had signed the Versailles treaty where as Russia had not.
 SignOr Schanzer, the Italian foreign minister, favored an attitude of mod eration in the interests of the confer ence. MT. Lloyd George pleaded that it was no time to display weakness. He cOunseled sending a note to Ger many and Russia declaring that they must modify their attitude if they eX- pected to be permitted to discuss Rus sian affairs at Genoa.
 There was a discussion as to the advisability of insisting that Germany either revise the treaty with Russia or be expelled from all commissions of the conference
 The neutral countries headed by Denmark, which are not pleased be- cause the small powers have been al- most eliminated from the conference by reason of the private sittings Of the entente powers, held several meetings, and protested against Ger many's exclusion from Russian affairs without a full vote of the conference.
