Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion 01
the ear There is only one way tc
cure deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies Deafness ie
caused by an inflamed condition 01
the mucuous lining qf the Eusta
chian Tube When this tube get
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when i1
is entirely closed deafness is thi
result and unless the inflammatioi
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused bj
catarrh which is nothing but at

LEGAL OBSTACLES TOA PR
MARY
There art several Seridus obsta
des to the calling 01a State pd
mary election to nominate a Demo
cratic ticket noxt year that tf e
advOcnlll of siich a departure Jro1l1
est bl > n > 1C d party usages have uPl
stoppetiyto consider These may be
summed up as follows
1With < no convention the party
would enter the race without a
platform principles c
2The expenses of a prlmar
wouldebauge democracy irit6it
plutocracy and make it imps rbr I
for a poonman to aspire to a slat
t3ln office the event only one candi
date aspired to an office underth
usual district rules the nomination
would fall upon the State Committee
and the party would be forced to
meet the charge of ring rule
4The committee would be with
out legal power to assess caridi
dates and confusion and great dis
satisfaction would surely follow any
attempt to do so without lawful
authority
5rbe Executive CommitteeJias
no Authority under the party law fo
order a state primary and an atrj
tempt to do so would be a usurpa
tion of power that would di0ruiu
the party I
The first three have been dlsv
cussed more or less freely for
several months and are concededto
be difjjcultifijLmt easily met and
overcome N
The expense of a primary has
been dempnstrated by actual x
perience so often in county elections
that no one who is conversant with
the law or its practical application
xt the polls will estimate the ex
pense of a state primary at less
than 500 to the county It cost
Webster county 500in 1901 to
1
nominate eight officers It cost
Hopkins county 550 and Union
county about the same It is cost
ing 250 to the county to nominate
one candidate in the ejght counties
f the Second congressionaldistrict
paying officers only half price and
borrowing booths and boxes and
nearly every county is asking for
more It will cost Daviess county
650 to nominate a judge and com
monwealths attorney Ifa legal
ized primary should be held in 119
counties it would cost not a cent
less than 50000 With this enor
mous sum to provide the State
Committee would be without lawful
authority to raise it except by vol
untary contributions
Section 121 of the Election Laws
>
says All expenses for holding such
primary elections shall be borne
and paid by the political PARTY
holding same and the pay of ofli
cers cost of publishing and circu
lating notices of elections and all
other expenses shall be defrayed
in such manner as may be provided
for by the committee or governing
authority of the political party
holding such primaries
This is the law on the subject
antI there is nothing in it to author i
ize a committee to tax candidates
anymore than there is to leya
franchise tax on corporations The
arbitrary and unlawful taxation of
candidates for office bya party
governing authority and the extor
tion of money from them as a con
dition of their running for office
would be a species of despotism
that would drive out of a party
every man who believes that our
forefathers were right when they
went to war with England in resis
tance to unjust taxation
The Democratic party cannot
afford to drive poor but aspiring
young men away from it and serve
notice that none but rich men can
seek office in its ranks The can
didate who was unwilling tobe held
up would have redress in the courts
and could flatly refuse to buy a
permit to run and could enjoin the
party committee from leaving his
name off the ballot Does any man
manIf
Ifa8sert that the injunction would not
hold good in law Then let him
show in the Statutes where there
exists any authority to tax candi

sideration of thii fifth and las
proposition 1
Under the party v the powers
jf the State Executive Cpmmitte <
are limited to the calling of Hcon
mentions while district and coun
ty committees may go further and
determine the time and MANNER of
nominating candidates Here is
the present law defining the powers
> f the State Executive Committee I
which has been in force since 1896
The State Executive Committee
shall have power to determine whet
md where CONVENTIONS to omin
ite candidates for State offices
and all other State CONVENTIONS
shaH be held and the time and
nanner of selecting delegatesthere
to and the basis of representation
hall be prepared and announced
hy said committee and shall in all
cases be the vote cast at the last
residential election
That is all This is emphasized
jy this conclusion to the report on
party rules
This revision ofarty laws I
shall take effect from this date and i
is the entire party law in force and I
the State Central Committee is
hereby empowered to pass such
rules not inconsistent herewith as
I will carry out this order of organ
ization
The State Committee has no more
authority to order a primary dec
lion to nominate State officers or tc
raise 50000 or even 50 by a
tax on candidates than it has to
meet and declare a suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus onto sell
franchises to run railroads in Ken
tucky
There is absolutely no powei
vested in either the State Execu
tive or Slate Central Committee tci
change the party lath limiting the
powers of its governing authority
to the calling of conventions only
and they with bases of representa
tion fixed in advance No Stat
primary can be authoritatively
called under any circustances arid
all talk of such a method of nomin
ating candidates for State offices in
Kentucky may as well be stopped
OUR NEIGHBOR HOPKINS
