Governor.


find much doubt as to the introduce
ton Of bill Tor gerrymsnder Of the
Kentucky Appellate court districts In
some way the Democratic leaders are
said TO have gotten II into their heads
that the measure might prove a boone
rang, and as they are not anxious to be
run over by any more political jsuger-
nauts, IL is more than likely that they
will let the gerrymander alone. have
asked several OF them about II but they
refuse TO discuss the matter more than
informally. Senator McChord refused
to say anything about it bu: will proba-
bly, oppose it, Chas. Nelson, Of Hardin,
will probably be sgiirst it as will be
Mr.. Lee, Of Bullitt, and Mr.. Perkins.
But / expect the steering committee will
refuse to recommend it and that 1t will
not be introduced.
There are all sorts of investigating
resolutions in the sleeves OF the Demo-
cratic members and / understand two or
three of these are loaded and 'olded to
the muzzle. l am not at liberty to tell
all that l have heard but l expect the
next ten days will bring out one or two
resolutions which will provoke some
more heated debates.
The first i'll to come up for actual
passage was the one prohibiting the
marriage OF first cousins in Kentucky
and it precipitated an exciting cross fire
OF floor expressions before it ran it's
stormy course to recommitment. This
means that there is a large element in
the House which is opposed to such
law and it will hardly pass at this term
The next really large bill for discussion
will be the anti-school trust measure
which will be called up to-day or to-
morrow. The school book combine has
men to The number of six on the ground
lobbying like the mad, to prevent the
passage of a bill cutting off the trusts
perquisites, and it will be hard fight in
any event. 1 expect to hear some Of the
stoI g st speeches OF the session on it.
Morgan Chinn will lead the fight against
the trust
Representative Lee is going to try hard
to have passed a law 6niDG boys who
run at large at night in other words q
general state Curfew law, which will
cause another hot debate.
Mr.. Haswell is a vigorous young
Waterman OF his constituents interests,
and when there is a chance to stop
thing or sidetrack it he is always heard
from. He has made his maiden speech
against the Trimble penitentiary inyesti-
cation resolution and it was a most
creditable one indeed.
understand that his friends are
along quietly for Chas Blanford
for Governor and that he is going to sur
prise the opposition with his early
strength on the race. He is almost sure
to be the first to announce.
A Republican from Hardin county,
said to me yesterday ~ am in favor OF
Bob Jolly for Congress in the next cleo
ton. II he cannot be elected he can
come mighty close to it, and he can lay
his plans for the next race when he will
be sure victor. like the stuff he is
made OF and that's a rugged honesty
about him that is the material for states
men,"
I 6nd that young Fred Long, OF Nor
yantown, is going to be a Republican
possibility for Congress in the next race
IN third district. He is anti-Hunter
Republican and has mighty clean pub
lie record. He will say nothing as to his
plans, but he is almost certain to be
candidate.
A friend OF the News said yesterday
Il think Dave Murray ought to 90 to
Congress next time but he won't for he
kinks Smith ought to be Endorsed and /
'hink he ought to be elected circuit
Judge in the next race. He can win as
Easy as falling off a log and believe his
friends will induce him to shine his
,astor in the ring. Dave will make a
ust and capable and popular Justice"
