Gov. James M. Cox Predicts Great Victory For Democratic Party.  Wires Mr.
T.V. Ferrell.  Governor James M. Cox, Democratic nominee for President, sees
a great victory ahead for the Democratic ticket.  In a telegram to Mr.
Ferrell, Campaign Chairman, he urges every Democrat to work hard until the
election.  Many Eastern states that have been in doubt are now placed in the
Democratic column.  The telegram to Mr. Ferrell said: T.V. Ferrell,
Democratic Campaign Chm., Somerset, Ky., Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 26th, Reports
from National Headquarters today add New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire as Eastern states we shall
carry.  This means great ground swell has struck East and wonderful victory
is in sight.  I ask and will appreciate your unceasing efforts from now until
election day and unfailing vigilance at the polls.  James M. Cox.

Tuttle - Blank.  News has just been received here of the marriage of Mr.
William P. Tuttle , son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Tuttle, to Miss Hellen Blank, of
Emporia, Kansas.  The wedding took place on the 12th of October at Oakland,
California.  Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle sailed from San Francisco to the Hawaiian
Islands on the 27th.  Mr. Tuttle has been manager of a large pineapple
plantation near Honolulu for the past year.  He has a very responsible
position and is making good.  He is a graduate of the Somerset High School,
the Kentucky State University, and took a course at Cornell.  While in school
Mr. Tuttle was a star athlete and was considered one of the best football
players in the South.  His bride is a most accomplished young woman.  She is
a graduate of Manhattan University, Emporia, Kansas.  It was while Mr. Tuttle
was coaching the University football team that he met his wife.

Pitman Coal Co.  The Pitman Coal Co. has been incorporated for $12,000 with
S.G. Cain, A.C. Coffey and Alger Weddle as the incorporators.  They own a
mine on Pitman Creek and are furnishing quite a great deal of coal to
Somerset people.

Stanfield Here.  General Manager J.H. Stanfield of the Southern Railway, was
in the city Tuesday conferring with Supt. Clements and other officials.  He,
with other local officials, were guests of Mr. Joe H. Gibson at the show at
the opera house Tuesday night.

Off To Tech.  The Centre College Football team will pass through Somerset
tonight en route to Atlanta, Ga., where they will play Georgia Tech on
Saturday.  Quite a number of rooters will accompany the team and several from
Somerset will join them and make the trip.

New Paper.  For the 'steenth time Somerset is to have a Republican political
newspaper.  They come and blossom forth in great glory and then fade away
never to be heard of again.  It seems in Pulaski County every faction of the
Republican party must have a newspaper - quite an expensive thing to have -
but - what is expenses when an office is at stake?  The Journal has seen
dozens of them come and go - just like this one will - but thanks to loyal
friends we are still here doing business.   The people are tired of so much
politics and if we read them rightly they will not support any institution
started for personal and political gain.  What we need in Pulaski County is
construction and not destruction.  These political sheets do more harm to the
county in one year than can be repaired in ten.  Who the editor will be we do
not know.  Who the owners are we can guess.  You have our sympathy gentlemen
on Saturday - pay day.

School Race Is Getting Interesting.  Circulars Issued By Both Tickets.  The
race for election to the City School Board has taken on unusual interest
owning to the fact that a fight is being made on the present board by certain
people who are against a $1.50 tax rate to operate the schools.  It is
thought that the old board will be re-elected by a good majority, however, as
their administration has proven most satisfactory.  The present board has
issued a card in which they show why it was necessary to put the tax rate at
$1.50.  They give a complete statement of the moneys needed to conduct the
schools for the years 1920-21.  This statement is published in another part
of the Journal and every voter should read it and not be misled by false
statements that are being circulated by certain people more interested in
their pocket book than in the schools of the city.  The opposition to the
present board is led by Tom Scott, who is taking an unusual interest in the
race.  Mr. Scott filed the papers for the opposition ticket and is busy
electioneering for them.  Probably no board has given as much of their time
and have done so much for the schools as the present board.  They are all
Somerset's best business men and have a great pride in our school system. 
They have been endorsed for re-election by many of the most prominent
business men of the city as well as other voters.  The members of the present
board are: T.E. Jasper, R.G. Williams, Jr., O.G. Peterson, A.E. Barnes, Roy
McDaniels and William Ramsey.  Those running in opposition to this board are:
James Denton, W.A. Moore, Mrs. Woodson May, Mrs. Lottie Propst, John
Anderson, John LeTollier.  The names of these candidates will appear on a
separate ballot and it will be necessary to stamp an X in the square opposite
the names.

Fiscal Court In Session This Week.  To Build Bridge Over Pitman Creek near
Elihu.  The Pulaski County Fiscal Court was in session several days this
week.  They ordered a steel bridge to be constructed over Pitman Creek just
east of the Elihu Railroad station on the old Coal Bank Road.  Citizens
living in that neighborhood have agreed to construct the abutments free of
charge.  George G. Waddle, Granville Lorton and other citizens living near
Oak Hill Church appeared before the Court and agreed to purchase $4,000.00
worth of the county's bonds if the money would be spent for the
reconstruction of the old pike on Stones Ferry Road.  The proposition was
accepted by the county.  It was ordered that the county finish the work on
the Hail road east side of Buck Creek which was started by the citizens of
that section.  J.V. Wesley as appointed to settle with Sheriff Weddle for
county levy, road and bridge road funds and common school taxes for 1920.

Killed By Train.  Judge Baugh, of Science Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Baugh, was instantly killed last Sunday afternoon when he rode his motorcycle
into passenger train No. 11.  Mr. Baugh was traveling at a lively clip and
did not see the approaching train.  He dashed into the train just between the
engine and first car.  His body was mangled almost beyond recognition.  The
accident is a very sad affair and convinces us more than ever that there
should be some warning at the crossing to announce the approach of a train.

Stanford Afraid.  The manger of the Stanford high school football team called
Coach Dexheimer of the local eleven Tuesday and informed him that he would
have to call the game between Stanford and Somerset off as his boys were not
in a class with Somerset and they would be unable to play.  If that is not
showing the white feather we will give it up.

Election Returns.  The public is invited to the Journal office on next
Tuesday night to receive the election returns.  We will get special bulletins
from all over the country and will keep open until the result is known.  A
bulletin board will be placed in front of the Journal office where the
results will be posted.  Be present early and stay late.

To Build.  Mr. Chas. Candler, who just recently purchased the Isom restaurant
in South Somerset, will add two more stories to the building.  He will make
the rooms for living quarters.  Mr. Candler also purchased a lot adjoining
the restaurant and will build on it soon.  He is making these improvements
for the convenience of the railroad people.

Back To Johnson.  Mr. J.E. Waddle, manager of the Pu-John Oil Co., spent
several days at home this week.  He returned to Johnson County Tuesday to
drill in the third well for the company.  Mr. Waddle says that the gas well
will test over a million and a half feet.  The outlook for the company is
very bright.

Employ Attorney.  Atty. E.T. Wesley has been retained by a number of citizens
to jointly with the city, enjoin the collection of the increased rates
proposed by the Gainesboro Telephone Company.  This action will be taken up
at once as the increased rates become effective November 1, 1920.

At Burnside.  Mrs. Will D. Oldham of Lexington spoke at Burnside last night
in the interest of the Democratic ticket.  She was greeted with a large crowd
and it is said made many votes among the women for the Democratic ticket. 
Burnside Democrats are working hard and will give a good account of
themselves on election day.

Harvard Wins.  Forty-five thousand football fans saw Harvard College triumph
over Centre College, of Danville, last Saturday at Cambridge, Mass.  The
final score was 31 to 14.  It was the greatest football battle ever staged in
the great Harvard Stadium and it was the first time that Harvard had been
scored on in four years.  In the early stages of the game, Centre emerged
seven points ahead but was soon tied.  In the last quarter Harvard scored a
drop kick and two touchdowns.  Harvard's heavy defense was too much for their
lighter opponents and speed and strategy could not overcome the power of the
Crimson varsity.  On offensive Centre was Harvard's equal and Captain "Bo"
McMillin was easily the star of the game.  Sharing the honors were our own
"Red" Roberts and "Red" Weaver.  Roberts made the first touchdown by a line
buck. He played a great game.  Jack Converse got into the game and played one
entire quarter at end.  He showed up well.  McMillin, Roberts and Weaver, it
is said, made their places on the All-American.  The special train that
carried the football team and 300 rooters left Danville Thursday morning at 8
o'clock and arrived in Boston at noon Friday.  Returning the train left
Boston at midnight Saturday and arrived in Danville Monday morning at 8
o'clock.  A stop of five hours was made at Buffalo to allow the fans to visit
Niagara Falls.  H.C. King, District Passenger Agent of the Southern Railway
was in charge of the train and he saw to it that everyone was made as
comfortable as possible and that everybody had a good time.  Everyone
complimented the excellent service given by the railroads and Pullman
company.  Mr. F.H. Wipper of Cincinnati, Assistant General Passenger Agent,
of the Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis Ry., also made the trip to assist Mr.
King and to see that everything went off well. 

Republican Speaking.  Fearing that they will not carry Pulaski County by as
large a majority as usual the Republicans have been importing speakers of
every caliber into the county.  Last week Don C. Edwards and Caleb Powers
spoke from the same platform and the day before Chas. Finley was here.  On
Monday Mrs. Christine Bradley South and Congressman Robsion spoke to a fair
crowd at the opera house.  On Saturday another lot of speakers will be here. 
With all of this the Republicans have not been able to stir up much
enthusiasm among the voters.

Bridge Completed.  The approach to the Pitman Creek Bridge is now completed
and the bridge is in use.  It is proving quite a convenience to the citizens
of Burnside as well as to Somerset people.  The great need of it is shown by
the large amount of travel.  The citizens of Burnside and Somerset are
planning on a road working day to put the road leading to the bridge in
better condition.

For Sale.  One four-year-old horse, in good condition; will trade for hay,
grain or other stock.  Mrs. Cora Chestnut, Somerset, Ky.

Rotten Show.  The attraction at the Gem Opera House Tuesday night called "The
Moon Girl" was about as rotten as it possibly could be.  The house was packed
and everyone went away thoroughly disgusted.  It was no fault of the
management of the Gem as the show came to them highly recommended.

Linotype Arrives.  The Somerset Journal's Model 14 Linotype machine arrived
this week and we will have it up and in operation within the next few days. 
This is the latest and finest machine that is put out by the Mergenthaler
Linotype Co. and we invite our friends and patrons to come in and see it in
operation.  It will increase the efficiency of our office and give us the
best equipped newspaper plant in this section of Kentucky.

Circuit Court Opened Monday.  Judge Delivers A Strong Charge To The Grand
Jury.  The October term of Circuit Court opened last Monday with Judge
Bethurum on the bench and Commonwealths Attorney Flippin at his post.  There
was a large crowd in town.  On account of Republican political speaking there
was little business transacted.  In the morning Judge Bethurum spoke and in
the afternoon Congressman Robsion and Mrs. South.  Judge Bethurum's charge to
the grand jury was as usual very strong.  He told the grand jury to make a
thorough investigation of the illegal sale of whiskey and moonshining and to
summon every person they thought could give them information before the jury.
 He also went after the pistol toters and gambling.  Judge Bethurum is
determined to break up the lawlessness that prevails if he possibly can.  The
grand jury is one of the best that has ever been empanelled and we look for
some good results.  The following is a list of the juries:

Grand Jury - V.B. Stone, foreman, Wm. Grabeel, Shack Whitaker, Lewis Gover,
Bowen Vaught, Ben Lair, Scott Smith, Jonathan Blevins, S.M. Campton, W.E.
Kelley, W.D. Chestnut, H.C. Bryant.

Petit Jury, Panel No. 1 - L.M. Bolton, Clarence Bryant, Logan Pointer, John
Kaylor, Sam Childers, Geo. Whitis, C. Simpson, James Turpen, Jas. S. Vaught,
H.T. Baugh, Green Whitis, Oscar Girdler.

Petit Jury, Panel No. 2 - George Baker, L.T. Dick, E.W. Ratliff, C.F.
Cundiff, J.R. Chaney, J.T. Whitaker, Samuel Wariner, Chas. Whitis, J.H.
Silvers, James Nelson, M.A. Phelps, Fayette Vaughn.

Reserve List.  Miles Wesley, Oscar Hubble, L.R. Colyer, Joe Weddle, Riley
Jasper, Luther Kyle.

Captain Tuttle Will Vote The Democratic Ticket This Year, So He Tells
Reporter.  The Danville Advocate published the following article that will be
read with interest in Somerset.  Captain Tuttle is well known in Somerset and
the fact that a Republican of his standing and type is to vote for Cox will
have a great influence among the independent voters.   Capt. John W. Tuttle,
of Monticello, for fifty years leader at the Wayne County bar; Captain in the
Federal army during the Civil Ware and a life-long Republican, announced this
morning at the Hotel Gilcher that he will cast his vote for Gov. James M. Cox
for the presidency on the second day of November.  Capt. Tuttle is
eighty-three years of age and this will be the first time he ever placed his
vote under the rooster.  He is the youngest looking man of his age who has
been seen in Danville in many a day.  He is en route home from Williamsburg
and Corbin where he has been acting as referee in some bankruptcy cases.  He
was Captain of Company G, Third Kentucky Infantry, under Col. Thomas E.
Bramlette.  He was in the battle of Perryville but did not take part in that
engagement.  He was an intimate friend of the late Major Daniel Collier, of
Lancaster; Gen. Speed Frye of Danville; Capt. Samuel McKee of Danville. 
Capt. McKee was later promoted to position of Colonel and was killed in the
battle of Stone River.  Capt. Tuttle says that a Lincoln Republican and a
Wilson Democrat are one and the same.  The great Lincoln was for union as a
mater of promoting peace and maintain peace and his views along this line
have proven to have been correct by actual test covering a period of
fifty-five years in the United States.  If union was good then as has been
proven it is good now, according to Capt. Tuttle, and he is therefore for the
League of Nations with reservation.  In his opinion to surrender the League
of Nations means surrender to Germany; which would have been practically the
same as a Confederate victory in the United States during the Civil War. 
Capt. Tuttle says great questions of the country's sacred honor like this
must rise above all politics if the peace of the world is to endure.  He
thinks Harding is a weak man and the Republican platform unworthy of the
support of any patriotic American.  Capt. Tuttle states he will vote for
Senator Beckham over Richard P. Ernst for United States Senator, and not
because he thinks more of Beckham personally than Ernst, but because
Beckham's principles are in accord with his ideas of what constitute a true
American patriot.  Capt. Tuttle is of the opinion that the League of Nations
without reservations is the greatest stride toward world peace that has ever
been taken.  All the leading preachers and church men are for it and the
foremost statesmen in all parties recognize its meritorious features,
although some of them place partisan politics before the honor of their
country.  Capt. Tuttle knows what war is.  For four years he defended the
union and he did it as a matter of patriotic duty.  Now if that union is
good, why is not a larger and more powerful union now equally as important in
the matter of suppressing future wars.  He is fighting for future generations
and for lasting peace.  He says that in union there is strength; while
nations divided against each other will eventually fall.  His opinion of
Senator Lodge, Will Hays and other big Republican leaders who have thrown
down their country for partisan politics rather than stand out fearlessly for
the future peace of the world is by no means the best.  Capt. Tuttle fought
for the freedom of the colored race and in his opinion if they wish to dwell
in peace in the future and enjoy the greatest prosperity they had better vote
for Gov. James M. Cox and the League of Nations, or as he terms it,
the Union of the Nations. 
If President Lincoln were living today, the League of Nations would have no greater
advocate in the war scarred veteran.  He says he does not call himself a
Democrat but that he is a patriot and he is unable to realize how any friend
of the great Lincoln could fail to endorse the League of Nations in honor of
the memory of that great unionist.  Capt. Tuttle has been a war horse in
Republican politics in Wayne County for nearly two generations.  Speaking in
a lighter vein, he said he had encouraged Breck Berry, the Rankins, and
Laniers to move to Boyle County because they were such strong Democrats but
that part of his business here now was to induce them to return to Old Wayne
as he was anxious for that county to roll up a big majority for the League of
Nations, the salvation of the country.

Editorials.

We want to urge every Democrat woman voter in the county to go to the polls
next Tuesday and vote.  It is a duty you owe to your country now that you
have been given the right of suffrage.  If every woman will do her duty on
election day, Pulaski County will make a most excellent showing.

Somerset joins in with Danville and Kentucky in welcoming home the great
Centre College football team and we take off our hats to Captain "Bo"
McMillin and our own "Red" Roberts and Converse and to Weaver.  Somerset
feels a great pride in the accomplishments of this great football team
because the Somerset high school gave to Danville her stars - McMillin,
Weaver, Roberts and Converse.

The first street that should be fixed in Somerset is South Main leading to
the Depot.  This street is a disgrace to any community.  In dry weather it is
so dusty that one can not see three feet ahead.  It is the street all the
railway employees travel and by all means should be put in good condition. If
we are to have a good town and keep our people satisfied we must have better
streets. Let work begin on this street at once.

The munificent sum of $25,000 awaits Ed Morrow, Teddy Roosevelt, Chas. F.
Ogden or any other of the Republican orators who can make good their
assertion that the League of Nations deprives the United States of any of its
sovereignty.  This sum has been offered for such proof by the organization of
pro-league Independents and Republicans, of which Prof. Irving Fisher is
President.  Will Hays and George White, the National Committeemen, will be
permitted to select the jury of twelve, and if any of our glib Timbuctoo
orators can convince them they are telling the truth, they will be given the
$25,000.

championship, Somerset and Burnside each having won a game of a three game
series.  The game was closely contested until the 5th inning, Burnside having
made one run in the 1st.  Three hits and two errors allowed Somerset to make
four runs in the fifth, then Camden made a Babe Ruth in the 8th, Somerset
having one man on base, which made the score 6 to 1 in favor of Somerset.  In
