INDIANAPOLIS, May 8.--Princess En-

through this country, severely criticises
the statements OF George KEENAN, re-
garding abuses TO Russian prisoners.
She says Kennan is a sentimentalist
and panders to the Americans love Of
sensations; that he purposely avoids all
reference to the good in the Russian
institutions and ~magniies the evils,
because such a course brings money
and any other would not. She says
there are, no doubt, some abuses in
Siberia, but the perpetrators are always
punished when detected.

NJ. Boyd Gets Mad.

Mr.. John Boyd, in his Crofton
speech Wednesday, became personal
in his remarks aud declared in his
wrath that tho KEsTucnAS is lying
about him. Mr.. West very pointedly
corrected him and assured the people
that the papers hase stated nothing
but facts.
This is especially true OF the KEN
rrcKIAS. II has engaged in no per
sonal abuse, but has dealt in facts
plainly aud truthfully stated Its
charges have been based upon infor-
nation from official sources and when
the statements made have been found
incorrect in any minor particular the
necessary corrections have been volun-
tarily made.
The KEsrrcKIAS has charged that
gross corruption existed in the shcr
IFS Office during Mr.. Boyd's terms.
This is fact.
II has charged that the State was
robbed OF thousands OF dollars. This
Is fact.
II has charged that tho county
funds have been stolen to the extent
Of thousands more. This is a fact.
II has charged that assessments
have been raised, taxes miscalculated
and tho people neeced Of their hard
earned money. This is u fact.
II has taken the ground that Mr..
Boyd was elected sheriff and that he
IL accountable TO tho law and to
the people for the administration OF
his office. This is fact.
II now has this proposition to make:
n Mr.. Boyd will prove that any one
OF these charges is untrue, the KEN
rucKi,s will cease to oppose him and
its editor will vote for him in August,

HON. Jno. o. cLARpY.

DIR. John ID. Clardy, the farmers
candidate for delegate to the Consti
tutional Convention, is one of the bes
known men in Christian county ano
widely known throughout the State
by reason of his connection with tn,
Grange organization. DR.. Clardy was
born in Smith county, Tenn, Aug. 30
1923, and will soon be 81 years OF age
He is in vigorous health, appears
many years younger than he really is
and in advanced ideas is one of the
best representatives of the farming
interests in Kentucky.
graduated in medicine in 1851 and
began practicing at Longview in this
county. Three years later he removed
to Ballard county, but in 1862 returned
to Christian and purchased his pres
ent home near Newstead. He aban-
doned the practice OF medicine and
since that time has devoted his atten-
ton to farming and stock raising, in
which business he has prospered and
accumulated handsome property.
For several years DIR. Clardy has
been prominently identified with the
Change movement and is now M,s,r
OF the State Grange. He is thoroughly
posted in all matters pertaining to
agriculture and is withal practical,
intelligent and enthusiastic farmer and
breeder, and in matters Of general in
formation and progressive thought is
fully abreast Of the foremost citizens
of our county.
Though an agriculturist, he is
close student and his views upon cur
rency, taxation and the demands of
the times are sound and logically cor
rect. He is a fine stump speaker and
his speeches possess the merit Of hav-
ing something in them. He is now
making district canvass of tho coun-
ty and meeting with an enthusiastic
reception everywhere. The very
complimentary vote he received in a
convention of nearly 700 OF his fellow
farmers attests his great popularity.
Three-iifths of the votes of the
largest and most intelligent non
partisan gathering of farmers ever
assembled in the county were cast for
him, although his opponent was one
OF the most intellectual and highly
respected citizens of the county. DIR.
Clardy has always been a Democrat,
but is not making this race as a party
man. He comes as practical bust
ness man and representative of the
leading interests OF this great agricul-
tural county and il the farmers want
to be represented in the convention
they should rally as one man to his
support. He is strong in the country,
strong in the city and in the county
towns and his candidacy is sure to be
crowned with success.

The Kennedy Case.

The tax list OF w. b. Kennedy, to
which reference was made Tuesday,
has since been found in wrong dis
.rict and as Mr.. Boyd has enough
sins to answer for anyway, this much
of the former statement is corrected
The property was not listed by the
sheriff, but when this is said all is
said. The receipt still shows that Mr.
Kennedy paid A.77 too much taxes
It is also claimed thst a penalty may
have been added, but this was but six
per cent. and could not have exceeded
1913. In any state Of the case the
amount collected from Mr.. Kennedy
was in excess Of his legal dues, unless
figures lie.
