State-Wide 1'rohlbltlon mado three
speeches In llreckenrldL'e county Sat
urday. II. V. McChesncy, ot Frank
fort, and the best class of men groeted
him at Hardinsburg, Irvlngton, and
Cloveruort.
Mr. McChesney did not neglect his
pledge to do all In his power, if elect
ed governor of Kentucky, for the
movement of good roads, agriculture,
education and a clean government.
His most appealing promise was to
give the people a right and opportun
ity to vote on the State-Wide Prohibi
tion amendment. In plain words he
promised to lead State-Wide Prohibi
tion into victory and to rid the State
of whiskey.' Those who met him and
heard him, have perfect faith In him,
and if a man stands for prohibition, he
must stand for McChesney and vote
for him.
Mr. McChesney told what would be
come of the liquor dealers if they were
put out of businoss In Kentucky. They
would be put into better places of life
and industry his statement was veri
fied by every town's experience in
turning men out of the whiskey busi
ness and putting them into better
places of work.
The Democratic voters of Brecken
ridge county who want to stand for
the right cause that confronts the
party today, should vote for Mr.
McChesney.
Moorman Ditto, Morris Kincheloe
and Jesse Vhitworth came from Har
dinsburg Saturday night to hear Mr.
McChesney.
Mrs. McChesney was here and she
Is assured that she will become hostess
of the governor's mansion next De
cember. If her enthusiasm and optim
ism counts for many votes, her hus
band will be the next governor.
Mr. and Mrs. McChesney are de
lightful people, cultured and gifted
for the highest place In the State's
official circles.

The Clarion.
A Strong Letter For
McChesney and the Right.
Dear Mr. Habbage: In your last issue
I noticed some one wrote up Mr. Mc
Chesney speaking to such small crowds.
1 can't tell where this party got such
rotten :tuff ns that, unless he got same
from the Courier Journal, the whisky
organ. I am sure Mr. McChesney has
been greeted with the largest crowds of
any candidate in the last forty years
who has made a race for the Governor
ship of Kentucky, and what I deem the
most respectable crowds, who want to
blot out one of the greatest evils that
confronts the American people today,
and I do hope and pray that the good
voters and law abiding citizens of this
county and State will vote for McChes
ney. He Is the ideal candidate for
Governor. I am for him first, last and
all the time, against the world, fles
and the devil. Yours very truly,
E. E. Glasscock,
Locust Hill, Ky., July 12, 1015.
