The great battle of the ballots
was Bought at the polls last Tues
day aind the result soon became
known The victory for the Re
publican ticket was so decisive
that jit only required a short time
S to receive sufficient returns to
confirm what we had believed
all along would happen
t The Democratic spellepinders
had been claiming every doubt
ful State but the returns showed
that the Republicans carried v
ery one
P
Is The State of New York where
t the Democrats were claiming
fetliey would defeat Roosevelt gave
S I a Republican plurality of 280
000 Illinois came in with 200
000 plurality for the Republican
ticket and Ohio with 150000
New Jersey went Republican

also the State of WestVir

Roosevelt1entucky is about all that was
left to comfort the Democrats
and in many places the conduct
of the thugs and hoodlums was
a such that it will drive decent
men from the party
> 1 In Louisville the officers of
election in some of the strong
i V Republican precincts were over
j powered by thugs who broke into
the voting room after the polls
had closed and by force and in
timidation took control of every
thing in sight and carried the
µ 55ballots away with them and
S succeeded in defeating Maj Ow
ens for Congress by about 1500
u kvotes
The people of the United States
showed clearly that they have
implicit confidence in the abil

The Primary
Tomorrow will be the dny
when the nominees will be mad
for county offices The town is
now full of candidates and al
seem to be hopeful and confident
of being elected
We are making no suggestions
and making no guesses as t <
what the final result will be
We have attempted all along
to let the people choose for them
selves ° who they want to serve
as their officials
Wo do not want to appear die
tatpry to the people We appre
ciate tlC favors that the major
ity of the candidates have shown
to the ADVOCATE and we have
endeavored to treat all of their
with the respect that is due
them
We have our personal choice
among the candidates just ns
other men but we have endeav
ored to refrain from saying any
thing harsh or personal concern
ing any candidate
We have permitted our corres
pondents to express themselves
concerning their choice of candi
dates regardless of what our in
dividual choice might be und
they have boosted almost ev
ery candidate in the field
Nov that this is the last issue
before the election wo want te
say whatever may be the rosull
we will accept it and support the
nominees of the party believini
that the good people of Knox
county are too wise to make r
mistake in the selection of their
noupinees i
Lets all turn oiit to the polls
tomorrow and vote our senti
ments and resolve that whether
wo win or lose we will still be
loyal to the party and to the
n jininess

THE LATEST
Political Move on the Eve of
the County Primary
On last Tuesday night between
12 and 1 oclock there was en
tered into at Barbourville one of
the most dastardly cowardly nnd
corrupt political bargains eve
made in the history of Kentucky
T J Wyatt and J S Miller
two candidates for County Judge
were the bargainers These two
candidates perceiving that then
was a majority of votes againsi
them and that they were steer
ing their political fortunes into
a whirlpool began to connive and
plot against their opponentFlem
D Sampson It was determined
in their conference that night
that Mr Sampson had them both
badly beaten and that they
would therefore pool their inter
ests in the hope of defeating
him
It was agreed that as Miller
had plenty of money he should
undertake to make the race It
is an open secret that there was
In large congiderution for Wyatts

I Miller agreed to do certain
things and to fusnish a certain
sum of money and Wayatt was
to get oft the track and throw
his friends to Miller Can Wyatt
deliver the goods Y Will the I
voters of Knox county sullen
themselves to be sold and de
livered like cattle V
Wyatt issued a circular to his
friends directing them whom to
vote for and thus tried to carry
out his part of the bargain Thjs

is all very wrong and the people
have discovered it and hundreds
arenow preparing to cast their
vote for Flem D Sampson
Judge Millers record as in
County Judge is full of extras
agances and abuses He has
clearly demonstrated that he is
incompetent to attend to the af
fairs of the county The county
is deep in debt and four more
years of Miller will be a disaster
to the county from which it could
not soon recover If elected in
stead of being a county judge
Me will be a drummer as in the

1004 may be so close that a few Democratic votes improperly aiT JS °
mitted might be a balance ofpower and determine who the r j
nominees shall be These nominations should be made bYRe nb Oi
licans and not by Democrats It is to be sincerely hoped that not jijj
Republican who has been chosen to act as an officer in this election
will permit his zeal for the candidate of his choice to tempt him sj
to countenance any sort of wrong whether the wrong be in fraudJ Ii

and purely Republican >

Bear in mind that only KNOWN Republicans should be allowed wkfcJ
to vote If any of the officers doubt the politics age or residence
of a man offering to vote he is authorized under the law to swear
such a person as to whether he has at the last county election nS1t
in the last State and National election supported the Jlepublican
nominees f

is not much of a Republican f
