The first compulsoryiprjrnarjr election In Kentucky has passed into history. the smoke of a hotly contested family battle has cleared away and before us stretches the outlook for a splendid democratic victory in November. It now behooves every democrat to bow to the inevitable, to cherish no animosi ty because of the fact that "his man" failed to land the nomination, to put his shoulder squarely to the wheel and aid in the greater struggle that is be fore us. The strusnrle of last Saturday was a friendly one throughout, a striving to place in nomination the person to whom we were each and everyone of us most favorably inclined, a struggle to ad vance the interest of our friends, but after all it was a family affair and to be treated as such, and every good democrat should and will now forget that there ever was a struggle as to who should bear the party standard, will gird on his armor and go forth to do battle in the cause of democracy against the common enemy. The various candidates in this dis trict, both congressional and judicial, were good men and true, men with whom we may safely intrust the cause of democracy, and who were prepared to give a faithful account of their stewardship, the means of determining just who should unfurl the standard at the November election was new, a re cently enacted law and one which we fully believe is a wise, just and impar tial one, a law calculated to safeguard the rights of each and every man who seeks office at the hands of his party, and which we believe at this, its first trial, has proven a great success. Every democrat in the district had his choice as to who should be given the nomination for the various offices and they had the opportunity to ex press that choice at the polls, if the outcome did not prove to their liking, there should be no sore spots, and we believe there will be none, but that the party in the district will be united as it was never united before and each and every democrat who voted at the prim ary in August will be a cheerful partic ipant in the victory in November. Mr. Helm has served his district in a most creditable manner and will con tinue to do so, and while we supported Mr. Sullivan for the nomination, yet we are greatly rejoiced over the fact that while our choice did not receive the nomination, we are to be represent ed by a democrat, and by as good a one as can be found in the old Com monwealth. The opposition to Mr. Helm, if at all is scarcely noticeable, both parties seem to have a tendency to hold aloof from Mr. Dinsmore, in fact they do not seem to know exactly where he stands, whether he is a Stand patter or whether he is a Bull Moose, but be this as it may, we can never tell what may develop, and while the opposition may not, nor do we believe it will, amount to anything, yet it is the duty .of every democrat in the dis trict to give his unqualified support to Hon; Harvey Helm, the nominee of the Democratic party, to take no chances on the superior strength of our party, or to underestimate the strength of the opposition, vote for him and then you take no chances. As for Mr. Puryear, he will have no opposition, but at the same time vote for him too, for it is a bad habit to fall into, that of not voting the straight ticket, and if we just go in and "put it under the rooster", then we are giv ing their dues to everybody. While in some cases in the district races there is no opposition, and in others it is but meager, yet we are to have one great struggle at the coming November election, the struggle to elect a Democratic president, and ths most flattering prospects for success that the party has faced in years. For this reason there must be no sulking in the tents among the democrats, there must be no wounds received in petty races to heal, any ill feeling engender ed must be put aside and all must labor together in the great common cause. The democratic party is united as it has never been in years on national issues and in behalf of the national standard bearer, Woodrow Wilson is acceptable to the great masses of democracy as no democratic nominee has ever been in years; the enemy is divided against itself, has we might say too seperate and distinct parties with Teddy leading one and Taft the other, both we firmly believe headed for ignominious defeat, divided with no possible chance of being reunited, as far apart in their ideas as are the democratic and republican parties, can their be any doubt but that defeat stares them in the face. It Is all up to the democratic party, victory ia within their grasp 'for' the taking, all that the democratic party has to do now ' is to stand solidly ' together and support their splendid nominee and we shall see 'a "glorious victory. Therefore again let us warn every democrat to-put aside any ill feeling that may(have been engendered in the primary that would have a tendency .to make us even do our duty in a half hearted way, get busy now and give every assistance in your power in futherance of the great democratic victory that is to-be ours in November.

Coiitr Brawi Before -Fas- tor Of Tke Local Presbyterian Church Tenters Resigsatios Ami Will Eater Evaagilistic Field. On last Sunday Rev. Charles Connor Brown tendered his resignation to the elders and trustees of the Presbyterian church as their pastor, to take effect on or about the 15th, day of Septem ber. Bro. Brown's resignation will in all probability be accepted though with a feeling of the deepest regret. He was designated by the late "Presbytery for evangelistic work in Eastern Ken tucky and will have his headquarters in Lexington, the principal field of his labors being in and around Buckhorn. Rev. Brown has been the pastor of the local church for six years, he has been a zealous worker in the Master's cause, and under his charge the church has made splendid .progress. He has always been found at the front in all religious and charitable work and has endeared himself, not only to his own congregation, but to the entire com munity, and it is with a feeling of re luctance upon the part of everyone to see him leave. He and his estimable family will be sadly missed in the com munity and the well wishes of his host of friends and admirers will follow him to his new field. Helm And Puryear Sweep Tke County, The Formers Majority Being 547, The Latters 277. The first compulsory primary election ever held in Garrard county went off quietly, there not being a brawl of any kind throughout the county. The vote was heavier than was expected. Har vey Helm for Congress defeated Jere Sullivan by a majority of 547 votes, while Emmet V. Puryear carried the county over W. S. Burch by a majority of 227. J. W. Dinsmore republican candidate for congress without oppo sitson received only twelve votes in the county. It was tacitly understood that while Dinsmore's name appeared under the Log Cabin, that he was a "Bnll Moose", and the adherents to that faith would not support him because his name appeared under ithe republi can emblem, and the old line republi cans withheld their support because of his alleged support of the Progressive ideas, so he caught it going and coming.

S. GoYerment Accepts Option On Lo cal Property To Be Usel As Site For Federal Building. j.ne u. o. uoverment has tor some time held options on several pieces of local property to be used as a site for the Government building: they at one time decided upon the Park in the cen ter of the Public Square, as - the site. but owing to the differences existing between the town and county as to the ownership of that property they aban doned the idea of utilizing it, and last week they notified Mrs. Emma P. Grant that her property, upon which they held an option would be accepted as the site for the proposed site. The price to be paid Mrs. Grant is $4500. ana in addition to this about 25 or 30 front feet have been purchasd from the Presbyterian church for which the sum of $500. will be paid the two pieces of property will give a frontage of 150 feet on Danville street and the lot will be 200 feet deep to the alley. The deal is closed with the exception of the ab stract of title which the Government requires, and when that is prepared and accepted, the money will be paid, the appropriation having been made Borne time since for the purchase of the site. There is regret felt by some at the failure to place the Federal building in the center of the square but there are agreat many people who strenuously object to its being located there, however, there is a general feel ing of delight that a site has actually been decided upon as this means that we are surely to have a building, just when we are unable to say, but its ul timate erection is assured. .

Harre Helm Wins Democratic Nomi nation For Congress Over Judge Sulliyan By An Unprecedented Majority. The result of the primary election on last Saturday in the eighth congress ional district was the nomination of Hon. Harvey Helm of Lincoln county over Hon. Jere Sullivan of Madison by a majority of between 7000 and 8000 votes, Mr. Helm carrying every county in the district including Madison Judge Sullivan's home county. In the race for Commonwealth's At torney Judge E. V. Puryear of Boyle defeated Hon. William Burch of Lin coln by between 500 and 600 votes. The election was quiet through the county and a much heavier vote was polled than was expected. J. W. Dins more of Berea, republican candidate for Congress received only 12 votes in the county. A Lincoln county race in which Gar rard county people was interested was that of Circuit Clerk, to succeed the late lamented "Uncle Josh" Swope, and for which office Mr. Jesse D. Wearren, a former townsman was a candidate, he was defeated by ' James F. Holdam by about 175 vote?. Modern Political Methods Adopted To Prevent Action By City Council In Hubble Telephone Matter. At the regular monthly meeting of the City Council on last Monday night means usually adopted as a last resort in the U. S. Senate, and savoring very much of the muchly talked of "steam roller" tactics, were resorted to to pre vent the Hubble Telephone Co., from gaining entrance into the city. In be half of the Hubble Telephone Co a reg ularly organized corporation with a capital stock of $2500., one half of which is paid up. Mr. G. B. Swine broad asked the City- Council to grant this corporation the right to enter the city and establish three pay stations, guaranteeing in behalf of the Hubble people that they would furnish to the people of Lancaster a first class me tallic circuit telephone service at the fixed rate of 1. per month, and fur ther granting the City Council the right to remove them at any time that they might sell a franchise, or that they might see just cause for their re moval. They asked for only three pay stations within the City. Councilman Gregory moved that their request be granted and was seconded by Council man Zanone. Councilman William Herndon promptly put up a strenous objection to their entrance and a plea for the Bastin Telephone Co., and made the point that the Council had no right to allow the Hubble people to enter. Uity Attorney, K. H. Tomlinson was appealed to for a legal opinion and he ruled that the City had not the right to allow the Hubble people to enter with three phones as they had no franchise, the question was then asked if the Bas tin people had a franchise and his re ply was that they did not have, he was then asked how it was that the Bastin people were allowed to maintain a tele phone service in the city of Lancaster without a franchise and that the peo pie of Hubble were not allowed the same privilege, this question Mr Tom linson has not yet answered. Seeing that a vote upon the question was in evitable Councilman Herndon fearing it would be in favor of the Hubble peo pie, and plainly favoring the Bastin Telephone Co., to the exclusion of all other telephonecompames or promo ters, deliberately left the Council cham ber, thereby breaking the quorum and rendering any action in the matter im possible. County Attorney, Joe E. Robinson was present, not in his capacity as an attorney nor as the employe of any one but to assist in the conservation of the peoples rights, and made a strong plea that the Hubble people might be allow ed the same privileges that are vouch safed the Bastin .Co. Mr Robinson called the attention to one fact which is -perhaps yet vivid in the recollection of the citizens of Lan caster, namely, that the present City Council was elected upon a platform pledging them to a conservation of the peoples rights in the telephone matter, and pledging -themselves to give the people $1. telephone service. Just how well this pledge is being carried out may be readily seen. The Record, would earnestly advise the citizens of Lancaster, and of the county as well, that they attend the future meetings of the City Council, see who is carrying out pre-election pledges, see who is standing for the rights of the people as against a grasp ing corporation, aBmall one we will ad mit, but nevertheless a grasping one, and we believe that their very pres ence will have a 'moral influence that will peroaps strengthen up the back bone of the "City dads." If it does not, you will Surely go home wishing that the "recall" was in force in this municipality. In next weeks Record we propose to give a copy of the platform upon which the present City Council was elected, together with a few pertiment com ments.
