ENCOURAGING STRIKES
Lexington has undergone the
throes of a street car strike a
real strikeand as is usually the
case, the public sympathized with
the strikers and encouraged them
in acts of lawlessness. Citizens
may do this without being guilty
of any overt act of lawlessness
themselves. This moral influence
on behalf of the strikers embold
ens and impels them to acts of
disorder and to still grosser
crimes.
It is the office of the Governor
of Kentucky to see that the laws
are faithfully executed. If the
strikers have had their legal
rights invaded, the courts were
open to them for redress. But
instead of appealing to the courts
they, in a body, strike, and they
and their sympathizers say that
no others shall take their places.
This breaks down all law and or
der. If one person does not want
to work for another, he can quit
that service. But to threaten
death to one who succeeds him,
is inviting personal conflict as
well as destroying the legal right
of that other to take honest em
ployment. But to the point Acting Gov
ernor McDermott instead of re
storing order and making law
violators respect it, actually en-,
gaged in a mediation between
strikers and employers and by so
doing gave sympathy and encour
agement to law violators of the
worst type and practically said to
the car owners and new opera
tors, you must compromise with
the men who defy you. While
the Governor may thus have been
instrumental in settling an un
pleasant situation for Lexington,
we fail to see where he has ac
complished any good for Ken
tucky. Law can never become
supreme when it is dethroned by
those who are selected to main
tain and enforce it. Treating
with criminals is merely inviting
more criminals. It gives dignity
to lawlessness, encourages rowdy
ism and paralyzes the judicial
arm of the government.
WHISKY AND DEATH
People of Madison county, one
of the most shame-faced primary
elections that was ever held in
Madison county is soon to be
held. Some of the candidates
who ask your suffrage, have en
gaged in a campaign of debauch
ery. They have invaded the
sacred precincts of the Court
House, our temple of justice, to
carry on their damnable work.
Defying all laws of decency, defy
ing public sentiment defying the
devil himself, they have made
men drunk. Drunken men, filled
with cheap election whisky, have
spilled the blood and taken the
life of a human being. The death
of Reeves lies at the t'oor of the
candidates who have made use of
whisky in this campaign.
Do you want your names pub
lished? Surely if it is such a
good thing for electioneering pur
poses, you will not object to the
publication of your names.
We will reserve space in the
next issue of this paper for your
names. It will be placed in the
column of your choice, provided
you are entitled to go there.
These candidate These candidate
have not used whit- have used both whis
ky or money in this ky and money in
Jas. R Walker (Names)
A. U Miller
In which column will your
name appear? It will appear In
one or the other if we can get the
proof.
People! of Madisori county, give
Us the information In writing.
We will do the rest .
The refusal df the Court of Ap
peals to pass on the election
cases which were appealed to it
is breeding confusion worse con
founded. It appears as a result
that the law in Kentucky regulat
ing elections may have many
constructions placed on it
In the absence of the Circuit
Judge, the County Judge has jur-
isdiction of certain questions and
as there is no appeal from its
1 decision, it is possible that 120
county judges as well as 33 circuit
judges, may make final orders
regulating the elections in Ken
tucky, all differing from each
other.
It was the duty of the Court of
Appeals to take jurisdiction and
try out those election cases. As
we have before said, its failure to
do so was criminal.
We print the letter of Judge J.
M. Benton written to the people
of Clark county, on another page
of this issue. This Is no time for
crimination and recrimination. It
matters not that Judge Benton
may have at one time acted
otherwise. He is right now,
which no man can gainsay.
Will you, Mr. Good-man, help
him? Will you, Mr. Preacher,
help him? Will you, Mr. Candi-,
date, help him?
As we are locking the forms j
the manly, straight forward letter j
of Hon. A. D. Miller reaches us. j
We stop to say that it has the!
right ring. It is pitched on high '
grounds and Madison will do
herself proud to elect him to the
office of Representative.
To The Democrats Of
Madison County
I have been a member of the
Fiscal Court of Madison Court all
the time that Judge Sackelford
has bee;"" County Judge. This
Court is composed of the eight
magistrates, and the County
Judge. The Fiscal Court has con
trol of all the financial affairs of
the County, with power and
authority to levy taxes, and to see
that same are properly collected.
Each and every member of the
Court is entitled to his share of
credit for the good management
of the County's financial affairs,
and no one man is entitled to all
the credit Since I have been a
member of the Fiscal Court I
have looked carefully after the
interest of the tax payers, and at
the same time have done every
thing in my power for good
roads, and good bridges, and an
economical and safe administra
tion of the County's business.
If I am elected County Judge,
I will give to each and every
citizen a patient and respectful
hearing on any matter brought
before me, and will welcome
every citizen to the County
Judge's Office.
I will be very grateful to you
for anything you may do for me.
Asking a careful consideration at
your hands, of my candidacy, and
' for a fair election, square deal,
i and honest count and promising
'to do nothing dishonorable to
secure the nomination, I am truly-
and respectfully yours,
'28-3tf. H.C. RICE.

Political Prognostications
The hot weather has sapped the
ardor of the various candidates,
l hey looK faded and worn we
tender them sympathy. Rest boys,
rest for a few days. It will rejuvi
nate you and better fit you for a
final dash for the "polls." Get
your bearings; sound the waters
then pull for the prize.
There is a tide in the political
life of every man which, taken at
its flood, lands him in a good fat
office; omitted, he flounders,
bumps the breakers and is brand
ed "an also ran."
The political tide is running high
in Madison and some candidates
are on the tempestuous seas with
compass and rudder busted, call
ing loudly for help when all they
have to do is to throw out the life
line. . Their friends can not help
them without this life line, al
though they are anxious to do so.
This life line, my boys, is a pure,
unsullied life with exalted ideals,
with moral courage to do the right,
to run right to keep faith, to rise
to the expectations of your friends
and the highest citizenship of the
county. In other words, the life
line is to be a man in politics as
well as in private life. The peo
ple are looking for big men, men
who know the right and dare to
doit. It was glorious opportunity
for a man to appear on the
scene and say to the people,
"I dare to do right in politics
as well as in private life." What a
lamentable failure in our candi
dates to see the opportunity. For
failure to do so, some of them will
languish on the shoals and will
call in vain for a friend. Friends
help those who help themselves.
The Representatives are still in
the ring with no noticeable change
in the situation. White is turning
over all the rocks the second
time, Miller is up and doing and
Clay is manifesting a disposition
to make a dash.
Judge Shackelford and Judge
Rice are beating the bushes and
both are going some. Both are
putting their number twelves!
down the road at a 2-40 gate.
The sheriff's race is as cleverly
bunched set as every went down
the pike. All are in fine fettle.
Collins has unlimbered and is
showing his mettle and the way
he is handling those feet is a cau
tion. There will be some surprises
in this race in a few days. The
favorites will bound toward under
the lash, leaving their competitors
in the distance. Then you will
C. what you will C.
Walker has made a clear cut
declaration for clean elections
and tabooes the use of money and
whisky to secure his nomination.
He is going forward by leaps
and bounds. The next clerk of
Madison county court will be a
Walker unless all signs fail.
The jailers race is tame, so tame
that they will all eat out of your
hand.
The county superintendents
are making no noise. It is a still
race and a race for some one still.
The county attorneys are up and
at it All are skirting the woods,
shaking the bushes and turning
over the rocks.
Whitlock and Noland are doing
their best and neither can afford
to lose a vote to the other.
The city races are not discussed
enough to get a line on anything
or any one.

Reeres Killed
Saturday afternoon, Wade
Reeves was killed by Sidney
Winkler. The facts as we under
stand from street rumor only, are
that Winkler and Reeves had had
a previous trouble some years
ago. They had both been in the
city drinking election liquor and
got together in the East End in
the afternoon, when Reeves be
gan to kick Winkler, knocked
him down and was on him when
Winkler got his knife out and
stabbed Reeves through the
heart Winkler appeared Mon
day morning in the County Court
for trial, but the case was contin
ued until Wednesday.
This is one victim of election
whisky.

Mr. Jacob Collins
The friends of Mr. Jacob Col
lins have a strong plea in another
column, for his election as the
high Sheriff of Madison county.
Mr. Collins is a man of the
highest intellect and will efficient
ly discharge the duties of the of
fice if he is elected. His friends
claim that Collins is the man.
Can any one truthfully deny the
assertion?
