gates to the Kentucky state convention
that Goebel was nominated. Mr..
Bryan knows that Goebel is the author
of an election law framed purposely to
defeat the will of the majority and so
dastardly, so shameless IN its features
that even the democrats whom it was
framed to keep in power can not stom-
ach it. Mr.. Bryan was with Goebel at
one meeting when he explained his in
famous election law. GoebeJ said.
Kentucky is a democratic state and
we intend to keep it so. We have
framed law SO that it will not be
necessary to steal Kentucky for demo
cracy next year.
just think of it, such miserable con-
fesslon OF dishonesty. If Kentucky is
democratic will it be any the less so
under fair election law? 1t is not
necessary in Iowa to have dishonest
election laws, why should it be in Ken
lucky? Mr.. Goebel says the law is such
that it will not be necessary to steal
elections for democracy. We may
justly infer that it has been necessary
to steal in the past, and as Kentucky
has been democratic during nearly all
Its history it may be justly assumed
that the elections have been stolen
heretofore. Mr.. Goebel's tender con-
science has been touched, he wishes to
spare democracy the necessity of COM
mitting the crime of stealing elections,
not that he implies that the stealing
should not be done if the necessity ex-
listed. And William Jennings Bryan
