The Kentucky Democracy Scarcely
Knows Where ut is nt"-A High old
Time.
Kentucky Democracy went adrift to-
day. After tugging for two days at her
cables. which had been securely placed
In the hands OF temporary chairman
RedwIne by the Stone-Goebel combina-
ton, she finally loosened her moorlngs
and for half an hour. tloundered about
rudderless in the open stream. There
were thirty minutes OF Wild excitement,
OF cheers and yells. teers and catcnls.
The Kentucky Democrat is emotional
by nature and demonstratlve by train
ing. Two days In the leash had tried
his self-rcstraint beyond the danger
point. So, when the chairman for the
day night declared the convention ad-
journed after viva voce vote, which
his opponents declare was too close to
be determined In that manner and had
refused the call OF the counties as de-
u1anded by them, they were primed for
On explosion.
Judge Redwine left his seat. but not
go the delegates. They had come TO at
tend 4 convention, not to run up hotel
bills and swelter in the streets. There
was no lack OF leaders from among the
Uardlnites and soon they were wrought
up to high tension. The Goebel-Stone
followers remained in the hail to see
what was coming Off and tried with
their cheers to drown the angry yells
Of the opposition.
Rumors OF Il possible bolt hnd flooded
the hall and the hotel corridors all day.

ings OF Chairman Redwinc. This added
to the already bitter feeling among the
followers OF the three gubernatorlal

Bronston. n fiery Hardinite. elbowed his
way through the excited delegates and
mounted the stage. He had great ditll-

people to cry them down.
Every man was on his feet, and the
space Immediately in front OF the stage
was janmed with an excited, gcstlcu-
h'lnS. noisy crowd. Bronston tried In
vain to proceed. The battle OF voices
RACED for several minutes Finally
HFonston resumed. but his voice was
lost In the storm OF yells. He continued
!" talk 10 those nearest to him. but only
few Of them could catch word here
and there.
Now. whether Bronson had mlscalcu-

he had not counted on being interrupted
before he could qualify his remark. Is
