| TO THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF UNION | V Whethei or not it has been rumored that the bootleggers, gamblers and lawless element are supporting Mr. O. E. Smith for mayor, I do not know. Whether or not he has made them promises, I do not know. But, I do know, they are not sup- j porting me. I do know that they have had no favors and promises from me in the J past; and, I do know they will get none in the future. I do know that there is less & S^rnhling, less bootlegging, less lawlessness than for twenty yeirs past; and, I do jj ^ know there is far less than when Mr. Smith was alderman and presided at the police $ court as Mayor Pro-Tern, and such characters as the notorious Cardoza Hampton and Jj ^ similar citizens thrived and flourished here. It is well to look back "lest we forget." Jj 4*4 Mr. Smith ho raw*' to I'nion twenty years ago; that he has a family whom he loves; and. there- 3 fore. In> interi?t in City improvement is greater than mine. Let us see: 1 ^ 4 I was born on a farm within a few miles c-f the City limits; I was reared here; $ I have lived here all my life; my mother, my sister, my boy, my brothers and their $ 4% famihes .and children live here. All that 1 have ever had; all that I now have; all 3 4*4 that I have ever loved and cherished; all that 1 now love and cherish; every interest, J every ambition and every hope is here in the city of Union. Naturally, 1 desire a J clean, a healthy and a progressive town. For that reason, I have striven hard to J} make it the best town in the State. Let us see further: It will be found that not Ji only as mayor but as a private citizen I have been in the forefront in aiding in every J work of charity and every beneficial enterprise to advance the welfare of the city JI or its people: and. I have done it in n-urial >?'1 c. ? * - ^ , _ .. ... <w. * ?>?* ?aacv?9 unu ui a oav-i UICC UIieiluniC5. . /riS ^ *++ mayor, I cut my salary in half to help reduce expenses. When labor and supplies J and material were high and expensive, I held back from permanent improvements in streets; a;al now, when they are cheap, I am going forward, .thus saving the city 4 ?? hundreds of thousands of dollars. I will I ?iri!i? r say that although my administration followed immediately the great war?a period when crime, restlessness, changes and dissatisfaction have swept over every city and town in the en- v ^ tire nation?in I'nion w e have been able to steadily go forward, reduce crime, handle the situation, and J J gradually make thi- a better town, although the means and the influences to produce crime are mul- Y tipliod in recent years. Think about it soberly; and have I not as much at stake as Mr. Smith? But, voters, this town needs more than police court administration. The af- ^ ^ fairs of this city require a business administration. The future of this town and the } interests of all the people require competent handling and management. The town J 's pulling out of the hole under this administration. It is no child's play to manage } Jfc its affairs and finance it so as to make progress against the difficulties. This city has ) always depended largely on its mayor in these respects. J If Mr. Smith is more capable to accomplish these tasks and perform these duties, Jj then he chou'd be elected. If I am more capable and more experienced, then, as a J good citizen, desiring that the city go forward and not backward, you will suport J me, regardless of personal likes or differences. You owe this much to your suffrage. J \gain thanking you lor your kind support i.i (lie p:ist; and assuring you that if elected, you can Jj depend on me to st ri\e hauler to merit your confidence, I am, ^ Yours trulv 4 Y , , v R. P.

Gulf of Mexico annually than is use ? by crops as they grow to maturity ^ accoiding to a bulletin on "The Re moval of Plant Food by Nature ^ Drainage," just issued by the Ken P tueky Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. The bulletin is the result of rc 4 search work I y Dr. J. S. Mellarguc ^ one of the station chemists. The two great rivers annually wasl f away a total of 47,822,574 tons of th siv elements that furnish food fo: ; plants, according to the bulletin. Th V cash value of these lost elements i ^ placed at $2,075,088,324. The Mis sissippi river alone, it is asserted, an | rualSly empties more than one am one-half billions of dollars worth cashed away from points along it <? banks, into the Gulf of Mexico ever; > year. If all of the sources of plant foo? > loss from the soil could be accountei ^ for, said the chemist, it is probabh that the portion removed permanently ? by crops, in any system of farminj ^ would be found extremely small ii I comparison with the amount los f through drainage waters. This, hi ^ says, is one of the problems of agri f culture to which farmers have givei V little attention. Material for the bulletin was ob 1 tained by Dr. MeHargue by analyzing > scores of samples of water taken fron ^ springs and streams throughout Ken J* tueky and other states. Five gallon ^ of water was contained in each snm ^ pie. The tests wore for the phos ^ phorus, potassium, nitrate ?nitroger \ calcium, magnesium, sulphur, sodium lovine and mangane they contained Besides the Ohio and Mississipp rive s, the chemist took samples froti ^ the Kentucky, the Licking, the Ten nessee, the Cumberland and the Greei . nvcrs. > ^ <?
