MHESNEY THE MAN FOR VICTORY IN NOVEMBER

Than Make Up For Liquor Men Who May Bolt Elections

&t Mr. McChesney, and to prevent, if
; possible, what seems to be his prob
. able .nomination as the Democratic
'candidate for Governor in the August
primary, have been industriously cir
. culating the report that if he is nomi
ruated.he can not be elected in No
'.vember. They base this statement
nupon the idea that the whiskey and
ileer Democrats would not vote for
"jhim, or for any other dry Democrat,
ilf he is nominated. In other words,
.they admit that, although the liquor
'.Democrats will take a very active part
.in the primary against McChesney,
tthey will not hesitate, if he is- nomi
nated, to bolt his nomination and vote
rfor .the Republican ticket. There is
i some truth in that threat, for that is
;just what they have been doing for
jmany years. Most of them do not
seem to he bound, by any sense of hon
or or obligation, to support the nomi
nee after they have taken part in the
-.primary. Admitting to be true their
purpose to bolt if Mr. McChesney is
nominated, and that is what this talk
.-amounts to when they say he could
;not be elected, let us see whether or
-not it is to bo feared.
The people of Kentucky remember
xvery well that in the Senatorial pri-r-snary
last year, the same kind of talk
-and threats were used against Govern--or
Beckham. Mr. Stanley, the liquor
.candidate for the Senate then, as he is
.the liquor candidate for Governor now,
used the same argument; so did the
rsame liquor newspapers. What thiB
argument amounted to in effect was
that, if Beckham was nominated, the
'whiskey and beer Democrats would
Vbolt him, while If Stanley should be
nominated he would get all of those
-votes and alBO the votes of the tem--rperance
Democrats, who would be too
.honorable and too good Democrats, to
.fbolt the party nominee after they had
rtaken part in the primary. The result
of that primary should be fresh in the
memory of Kentucky Democrats. With
rail the power and wealth of the dis
tilleries, the breweries, and the saloons
"back of him, Stanley was defeated by
;a substantial majority. Beckham was
nominated and a large majority of the
"liquor Democrats did bolt him in the
JNovember election. It is necessary
only to look at the returns from that
..election to demonstrate it.
In all of the cities and liquor centers

JLs Your House a Home?
jAnd what is a home?
It is, of course, quite different
ffrom a house.
'"It is a building not made
37ith hands," says the Woman s
Home Companion.
It belongs to the things which
;--are unseen, rather than to the
things which are seen.
A house is a product of human
lhandicraft; a home is a creation
Qi .the heart.
&. ihouse is constructed out of
tmatter; a home i3 such stuff as
dreams are made of.
A house is four walls with a
ixoof; a home is a complex or
memories and associations and
affections.
A. iiouse is built by gold; a
ehome is built by love. A small
-and shabby home may be set up
linside a spacious and costly
&ouse.
We have all been guests in

rest of the Democratic ticket. Even
in Louisville, which he carried by a
large majority, he ran nearly 2,500
votes behind the majority of the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress; in Ken
ton county (city of Covington) he re
ceived 1,889 votes less than the vote
for the Democratic nominee for Con
gress; in Campbell county (city of
Newport) he received 1,632 less; ia
Fayette county (city of Lexington)
which he should have carried by 1,200,
he carried by only 197; and so it was
in every city where there was a liquor
vote. Even in Henderson county, Mr.
Stanley's home. Governor Beckham
ran about 200 or 250 votes behind the
ticket, even though Stanley made a
speech there before the election, os
tensibly for the ticket, .but it happen
ed that in the five or six places where
he did speak in that campaign, Beck
ham, the nominee, lost votes, for Stan
ley's speeches were not intended to
help him. Notwithstanding all of this
defection and bolting, Governor Beck
ham won over his Republican op
ponent, Governor Willson, by 32,000
majority, 'the largest majority given
to any Democratic candidate In 25 or
30 years. So the threat of Mr. Stanley
and his whisky and beer supporters
proved to be futile and empty.
If is the same old trick they are
trying to work again, on the. Democrats
this year. But it will fool only the
unthinking or the ignorant. Mr. Mc
Chesney is undoubtedly the strongest
candidate the Democrats can nomi
nate for Governor. He will be elected
beyond doubt; he may lose many very
wet Democrats in the liquor centers,
just as Beckham did last year, but he
will more than make it up In the ooun
try districts and in the mountains. He
is receiving the assurances of thou
sands of temperance Republicans and
Independents that they will support
him, If he Is nominated over Mr. Mor
row, who is well known as a wet man.
It is no use for Mr. Stanley to argue
that, because the Republicans will
nominate a wet candidate for Gover
nor on a wet platform, the Democrats
should do the same thing, and get into
a race with the Republican ticket to
see which can bid the highest for the
whiskey and beer votes of the state.
The people of Kentucky are not going
to elect as Governor of the state a
liquor trust man, and Mr. Stanley
might as well stand aside. The people
know that their chance to beat the wet
Republican candidate is with Mr. Mc
Chesney as the Democratic candidate.
He will be nominated and elected.

First Things in Kentucky.
The first woman to own a piece
of land in Kentucky was Susan
nah Boone, wife of Daniel Boone
who very early obtained a patent
for a tract in Madison county.
The first marriage in Ken
tucky was that of Samuel Hen
derson to Elizabeth Calloway,
Aug. 7, 1776. Their daughter,
Fannie, born in 1777, was the
first white child in the State
born of parents in the state.
The first plow manufactured
was made by William Pogue at
Harrodsburg in 1770. He also
made his first loom, while his
wife brought the first spinning
wheel to the State and wove
from the lint of nettles, the first
piece of linen manufactured, and
from buffalo wool the first piece
of linsey.
The first grist mill in the state
run by water was, perhaps, the
one built by Capt. John McMur
try, near Shakertown, in Mercer
county in 1792.
The first apple seeds were
planted in Mercer county by
members of the McAfee com
pany in 1775, Dr. Walter and

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People
Ase has Its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter life.
Cut It Is this very life of rest -without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic,
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled In
this way, with accompanying symptoms
of belching, drowsiness after eating,
headaches and general lassitude. Fre
quently there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable
remedy. First of all the advice may be
siven that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters
or any of the more violent purgatives.
What they need, women as well as men,
'is a mild laxative tonic, one that is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
griping.
The remedy that fills all these re
quirements, and has in addition tomte

Tiaveling Man's Experience.
"In the summer of 1883 I had a very
severe attack of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked overme from 4 a. m.
to p. m. without giving me any re
lief and then told me they did not ex
pect me to live; that I had best tele
graph for my family. Instead of do
ing so, I gave the hotel porter fifty
cents and told him to buy me a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Eemedy, and take no sub
stitute. I took a double doee accord
ing to the directions and went to sleep
after the second dose. At five o'clock
the next morning I was called by my
order and a train for my next stop-
pingpoint, a well man but feelin
rather skaky from the severity of th
attack," writes H. W. Ireland, Louis

A lady entered a railroad coach
in which all the seats were filled
with the exception of two of
which one man had taken poss
ession. The lady stopped near
the man thinking that he would
gallantly turn one of the seats
for her and thus permit her to
sit down. Perhaps there was a
look of annoyance on her face
since the man did not show a
disposition to show her any cour
tesy for he said, "Why are you
looking at me so angrily, do you
wish to eat me up?" The lady
answered; 'No! I do not like
pork."
