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,

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.
Marriage Licenses. Since our last report the following
marriage licenses

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
Burnside's half of the ninth a walk for Parrigin and four hits
netted
Burnside five runs which made the score 6 to 6. Somerset
was retired in one,
two, three order in their half of the tenth. Burnside then came
to bat, Heath
made a two bagger, then Parrigin a base hit, and at this point
the umpire
called Heath safe at third, the play being close, although both
umpires
agreed that the runner was safe, Somerset players left the
field. Somerset
would no doubt have finished the game but they were out of a
pitcher and
besides it was as certain as anything could be in baseball that
Burnside
would have made another un and won the game. They had men
on second and
third and no one out. The umpire declared the game won by
Burnside, score 9
to 0. Come again, Somerset, next year and try to be better
sports and not
get cold feet when you see you are up against the real thing
