the two votes which, under Gov. Brad
ley's influence. had defeated DR.. Hunters
election had again to be reckoned with.
They were finally brought around to the
support o. DR.. Deboe, and so through them
the Bradley faction will demand recogni-
ton.
Will Now Come In Force.
The Kentuckians will now come into the
field in force. and with all the more eager
ness aud energy for being a trihe late.
There are some very capable and attractive
men among them. who ought to prove for
midable antagonists for any places they
may decide to try for Dr. Hunter will
probably not be among them, for the rea-
son that he is contesting for the seat In the
House now occupied by Mr.. Rhea. He ex-
poets to win that fight, and If he should

party organization at home, and this, 1t is
thousns tho sna,o Will rsaaire him to remain near
the scene. FEDERAL appointment which
would take him out of the country or
away from Kehtueky would interfere with
his plans. =
Among those who will apply for recogni-
ton are ex-Congressman Lewis, who wants

wants the Swiss mission, and several men

range of the Kentucky vision. and rather a
spirited canvass for them is on the cards.

Next Falls Elections.
This years election has also to be con-
sidered. A clerk of the court of appeals
and new legislature are to be elected in
November, and the fight will be one of the
warmest. Mr.. Blackburn will throw his

1t Was Presented in the Senate and
the House Today.
The American Federation of Labor today
sent to the Senate a memorial addressed
to THE President, Cabinet and Congress
of the United States of America which en-
bodies the request for legislation recently
made to delegation of the order which
called on Speaker Reed.
The specific requests made are four:
Amendment Of the federal eisht-hour
law to secure its enforcement on all public
work for the United States. whether done
by contract or otherwise.
Rernodeling OF immigration laws to Sc
cure protection to American citizens.
Reform in. the national banking system
and the currency.
Liberal appropriations for public works.
The petition says: Millions of our work
ing people-American citizens-about this
time are suffering humiliating poverty and
countless staryatiens, and look to you for
speedy relief. Last.fall they were promised
helpful legislation, and they expect it from
you without unnecessary delay In no
party spirit we appeal to you to heed their
wants and to promptly meet this unparaI-
leled situation in the true spirit of Ameri-
can patriotism. With industry half para
lyzed, trade stagnant. values depressed and
shrunken. with enterprise stified, and the

fidence and bring cheer and comfort to the

factory, in millfand mine, In field and on
our lakes and seasl in behalf of the toilers
out of work. and 0f those unpaid, we iirge
on you the necessity of legislative relief.
The destitutions among the honest, proud
and industrious 1paaple OF our land, though
half hidden. is even increasing and becom-

they had are fasd turning to gloomy de-
