A House Divided Against Itself
Cannot Stand.

No milder terms can be applied
TO the disaffjected Democrats of
Kentucky than this: They have
acted extremely foolish in that
they have made an issue at the
ballots when there was no issue.
That State administrations have
nothing to do with the great and
turmoiIing monetizatiOn Of this
country is conceded by all; but
there appeared two wings in the
Democratic ranks. The one de
manding more primary money, the
other adhering to a single stan
dard. This we say shas no part in
a State canvass. Feeling ran so
high and determination for SUI
premacy was so great that the two
c=treme elements Of the party were
~ distinct as water and oil. They
did not run together, neither did
they vote together, and hence the
dethronement Of Democratic pow
er. The State Of Kentucky is not
Republican, but the money ques-
tion being subservient to all other
differences, even leaders, because
they could not have their own way,
failed in party affiliations while the
destroying elements Of all the great
Interests of our country rode into
power. Mr.. Bradley and his CO.
workers will have the reins of Gov
eminent. What will they dol
They have branded our Democrat
ic administration as rotten and
only wanted an opportunity tC
show the plundering and stealing
of which the party had been accus
ed. That opportunity has been given
them, and should they fail in q
diligent search to confirm theil
statements, they will brand them,
selves falsitiers, and should they
discover as they made you believe
they have, and fail to make good tC
the State losses sustained, they fai
I'm their promised purpose. W.
wait and with interest watch thu
course of these white winged re
formers. That they will fail in al
their promises we have no doubt
and that they will repeat wha'
they have done in other States We
will not for one moment question.

The later aud corrected returns as
they come in disclose many errors in
the first election reports sent in from
over the State. The ter returns
have tended to reduce Mir. Bradley's
supposed plurality VERY materially.
His plurality will not be SO large as
the earlier reports indicated. In some
of the reports there is clearly either
inaccuracies or attempted fraud. In
jackson county, for instance where
there are only about 800 voters, they
report 1925 Republican majority.
