EXPECT TO HAVE TROUBLE
GOVERNOR BRADLEY HAS ASSUMED
DUTIES OF PEACE OFFICER.
Both Sides Are Charging that Intim-
idation Will BE Used Mt the Polls.
Election Officers Removed.

Louisville, November Ex-Governor Brad
ley. in his capacity as comma nder- in
chief of the State National guard, is the
central figure in the political situation
tonight. The governor believes the situa-
ton to be so serious that he will not go
to his home al Lancaster, only about 100
miles from Louisville, to vote tomorrow.
report was current tonight that all the
companies OF the Louisville Legion, the
local military organization, had been or
dered to report for duty at 6 o'clock to-
morrow. The report could not be en-
firmed and there was no unusual activity
among members of the regiment but the
rumor is given significance from the fact
that Governor Bradley positively refused
to confirm or deny IL, or to say what his
plans are beyond an expression contained
in letter which he made public tonight.
The governor was expected to address a
meeting at the auditorium tonight but
changed his mind, giving out the following
in explanation for his refusal to attend:
Hon. E. A. Wilson.
Dear Sir: In view of the intense public
the fact that numerous affidavits of good
citizens have been filed with me showing
that there is great danger of riot and
bloodshed and that citizens will be pre-
vented by force from exercising their
right of suffrage in this State tomorrow,
been called upon to act as chief peace Off :
Ger of the commonwealth, ! have con-
cuded that 1t would be improper for me
TO deliver an address this evening. viii
thank you to assure those who may kindly
honor me by their presence that ] Will re-
nam in the city and see that every voter,
irrespective of political opinion, is pro
tected in his right to vote and have his
vote counted and the public peace main
tanned at all hazards. l don't intend TO
surround the polls with bayonets or In
tiInidate voters. do intend that they
shall not be intlmidated and will act
promptly should necessity arise. Yours
W. O. Bradley.

event the counting or throwing out of the
Louisville vote likely would change the
result of the election.
Late tonight the rumor that the Legion
has been ordered 10 report at the armory
at O'Clock in the morning to be ready
for any emergency was confirmed. Stimuli
taneously came the announcement. tat an
extra police force Of 800 men under Colonel
]. b. Castleman had been sworn in. Tle
city authorities evidently intend to stand
upon the ground that in case of troub Q
they are prepared 10 take any necessary
measures TO preserve order and that there
can be no occasion for the calling out or

The extra policemen. together with the
regular force, make total OF about soo
men. Colonel Castleman will act as as
