4 POLITICAL REVOLT
A State Convention Held by the AnGis
Goebel Democrats Of Kentucky

GOebel Democrats Of Kentucky
Lexington, KY, August "A polit-
ical revolt in Kentucky was inaugural
ed here today. The anti-Goebel con-
ference for the purpose OF calling a
state convention and nominating an
other democratci state ticket, or part of
one, was in some respects, perhaps, the
most remarkable political gathering
ever held in Kentucky.
The conference was composed of
leading farmers and professional men,
only few politicians being in the as
senJbly. 1t was composed of quiet,
conservative democrats.
There was intense indignation
against the alleged methods of the
Louisville convention and a stubborn
determination to check the operations
of the alleged machine. 1t was mani
fest from the beginning that the feel
ing was not against the whole ticket,
but against it's head, and, although
other nominations may be made
against those of the Louisville conven-
ton, the main opposition will be di-
rected towards the defeat of Goebel.
The gathering was larger than ex-
pected. There were 720 men by actual
count in the auditorium. Thirty coun-
ties were represented. Doctor J. M.
POyntz, of Richmond, was made per-
manent chairman, and w. H. Polk, Of
Lexington, permanent secretary. A
committee on resolutions composed of
one from each district and two for the
state at large, was appointed.
While this committee retired to draft
resolutions John Young Brown was es-
corted to the platform and made a Wig
orous, impassioned speech. He was
constantly interrupted by applause.
The resolution committee recon-
mended the endorsement of Bryan and
the Chicago platform, denounced the
methods of the Louisville convention
to secure the nomination of William
Goebel, declared that the report Of the
committee on credentials of the Louis
vile convention was secured by sham
full and fraudulent tactics, denounced
''McKinleyism" and other national af-
fairs and provided that a. convention
be held inLexington Wednesday, Au-
gust 18th, at l o'clock p. m., to declare
principles and nominate candidates for
the November election. The conven-
ton adjoured after being in session two
and half hours to meet August 10th.

Raleigh, y. c., August 2.-Today's
session OF the trustees OF the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college was Of
special Importance and interest. The
following was done:
The preparatory department was
abolished. In this during the last
term there were twenty-nine pupils,
OF whom twelve were from Raleigh.
Yet at the end OF the term only four
were able TO enter the freshman class.
The preparatory department was de-
clared TO be drag 10 the college, low
ering the tone OF scholarship, and in
unfair competition with other schools.
Persons are permitted to take a spe-
cial course Of training in any indus
trial or technical work without taking
the literary course or standing the en-
trance examination.
The military discipline is strictly pre-
scribed, but the drill Is not increased.
The trustees say such discipline will
produce better order, more system and
advance manliness. Enforcement Of
such discipline is left 20 President
Winston and TO the military instructor,
Bradley J. Wooten, whose salary Is in
creased to $500 for ten months term.
The trustees at a previous meeting
adopted a resolution admitting women
to all departments. The board repeals
this and adopts a resolution, admitting
women to the textile department in all
lines and also as special students along
particular industrial or technical lines,
as for instance, designing, dairying,
horticulture and Horticulture, but not
to general instruction.
President Winston and the textile
department committee meet at Char
lotte next Saturday morning. The COM
mittee is composed of II. E. Fries chair
man; ID. A. Tompkins, w. II. Ragan,
w. J. Peele and David Clark. They
will decide on a plan for the textile
building and its proper equipment.
The purpose Is to get the building
ready by autumn.
President Winston is instructed to
visit textile, meteorological and indus
trial and mechanical colleges In New
England, the middle and western
states.
A plan will be made for securing O
regular librarian and for largely in
creasing the college library, which now
contains 5000 volumns
One years practical work after COM
pleting the course in textile education
is required by the trustees before a
diploma is granted.
1t is decided that each trustee, each
senator and each representative shall
nominate a pupil for scholarship
from their respective counties. Record
Is to be kept as to when the nomina-
tions are made and as vcanacies occur.
Admissions are 10 be In the order in
which they are nominated. The num-
Der Is never to exceed the present
number Of 120 free scholarships. or
course all cannot be admitted at one
time.

Editor VIDETTE: -The Oasis dated
July 90, contains communication
signed by H. E. Butter6ield and Joe
Tritch, in which they make false state
ments. District Attorney Harlow
did not submit the Flewelling Jail con
tract or the three estin in writing
of 1914. 1855 or $3.50 to the grand
jury as I can prove by every member
of that body. L requested the grand
jury to investigate the FIewelling con-
contract. 1 would refer these gentle
men to the report of the grand jury
after investigating the Office of the
Board of Supervisors. 1t says:
awe find that the Office of the
board of supervisors is conducted in a
remarkable businesslike and systema-
tic manner; that every attention is
paid to the detail of the office, and
every care is taken to abide strickly
by the law in everything appertaining
to the Office"
If Messrs. ButterfeId, Tritch and
Thompson made their estimate in
writing they made a mistake in sub
uniting them to the Oasis They
should have submitted them to the
board of supervisors. The gentlemen
were careful not to submit their es-
Inmates to the board of supervisors.
Both Butter6eld and Tritch had
sufficient time ia which to put in
bid, but they never did so. Mr..
Flewelling's bid was submitted to the
Board two weeks before it was signed
The Board expected more bids but no
more came.

$4,000 THE PRICE.
The Big Montezuma Becomes the
Sole Property of Rob't Williams.

This week the big Montezuma
hotel property on Morley avenue was
purchased by Robert Williams for the
sum of $lS,000 currency. For some
time past Mr.. Williams has had a
Sc, 900 claim on the big hotel and ad-
Joining property, but until recently
has been unable to make the purchase
of the whole property.
Early this week his agent in Los
Angeles notified him that he had
closed the deal, the balance of the
$4,000, the princely sum of $4,000,
having been paid.
The Montezuma hotel property is
the most valuable piece of property in
the border city and Mr.. Williams says
$25, 900 could not induce him to part
with it. This popular hotel under
MIR. Williams able management is
now one of the best of its kind in Ari-
IONA, and it is gratifying to know
that it is now the sole property of
"Uncle Bob" Williams who has made
it such.
Mr. B. J. Whitesides of Marys-
vile, California, we'll and favorably
known throughout the west as first
class hotel man, has arrived to take
the position of chief clerk of the Mon
tezuma. Mr.. Whitesides is court
eous, affable gentleman who never
overlooks an opportunity to make the
guests of the hotel feel at home.
The large dining room of the hotel
is cool and commodious and is a model
of neatness and cleanliness. This i'm
portant department is under the per-
senal direction of MIR. Williams good
wife, who also sees to it that the lady
guests want for nothing.
Adjoining the dining room is the
tonsorial parlor, with bath room con-
nected. This is presided over by Milo
Bohall, who is one of the smoothest
artists in his profession. Like every
thing about the Montezuma things
here are first class.
Next and last on the list but by no
means of the least Importance to the
feot-sore and weary traveller, is the
large sample room, with one of the
most handsome bars and complete
