Henry M. White of New Castle hum
dred, will not be a candidate Tor
denomination for Levy Court commits
sioner for tho Fourth district lin
accordance with the rules of the Demo-
cratic Earty." II he is candidate at
ali, it will be as an independent, for
the Democratic County Executive Com
mittee, at a meeting yesterday week,
decided that he was ineligible.
This result has long been foreseen, yet
Mr.. White has persisted in the. an
nouncement that he was candidate.
The reason for turning him down is
that the party rules, adopted February
Sd, 1898, by convention OF which Mr.
White was member, provided for such
a rotation in Office, that it IS impossible
for Mr.. White to be candidate again
for Levy Court commissioner for IL
years, that is until each OF the other
hundreds in the Fourth district, have
had the naming Of a candidate. Besides
New Castle, the hundreds in the -Four tn
district are Pencader, White Clay Greek
and Red Lion.
1t has been Mr.. Whites contention
all Rlong that the rule of rotation did
not apply to those now in office, but
would apply to their successors. His
| efforts to have persons elected to the
county committee who would side with
him was an indication of his purpose
to secure favorable decision, and his
failure to get majority Of the com
mittee forecasted the defeat OF his
desire to be placed on the ticket.
When Mr.. Whites application to be
considered as candidate came before
the county committee yesterday, 1T wat
accompanied. by petition signed b!
between 600 and TOO Democrats of the
district, asking that his name be place
on the ticket and pledging him theil
support The applicant, was rerre
sented by Johu II. Rodney, who olaimet
that the rules do not affect persons nov
holding office and that it was right fol
the committee to allow Mr. 'Wbttssi
name on the ticket. In the next cam
paign, the committee could MAKE the
rule operative.
After hearing the argument, the com
mittee adopted resolution, declaring
that all Democratic members of tn,

during his connection with the psper.
the edition had not exceeded 720 each
week. The former owner of the paper
testified that when he sold the paper
to the defendant, in 1893, the regular
circulation did not then exceed 75O
copies. The plaintiff denied that be

real issue BY hypocritical talk about the
election law. Their leaders continue that X
the election this fall Ia unfair IL Will be
their fault. If they don't like the present
law they now have chance to get another
one. Let them prove their sincerity. But
1 believe that there are some Republican
leaders who don't want to see the present
law changed. They don't fear its opera

udice against IL they would get many

nothing but fair law and a fair election
The kind OF law the Republicans want Is
one that will give them the advantages

state again as they did in 1886.
we are so conscious OF the rectitude
OF our own cause that we don't fear the
result of the peoples verdict. We believe
that the people OF Kentucky are fully
aware of the real issues before them; that
they will not be msled by any pharasai-
cal cant about civil liberty and an honest
count: that they know the greatest queS-
ton in this campaign is whether we are to
nave State government administered ac-
cording 10 law or by military rule and as
sassination; and that they prefer law and
order to anarchy and chaos. They don't
intend TO indorse that party that has in
dorsed the crimes which nave brought dis
grace upon the State. This is a Democratic
State and Democrats should control it.
I'VE urge all Democrats to unite with US
TO restore the State TO her proper position
Of honor and respect; TO give her what
she always enjoyed under Democratic rule
IA wise and just government; TO hurl back
the charges upon her by Republican mis-
management ard crime, and TO show to
the world that within her borders law and

Goebel and is now his successor. Mr.
Beckham said in part:

leaders to commit the crimes they did last
winter in this State, but ii is far worse that
the representatives of that party, after ali
that had happened. should meet In State
convention and deliberately and with nre
meditation indorse all that had been done
IL was awful to kill in cold blood a man
who had been elected Governor of this
great State; ii Is infinitely worse that they
should indorse the conduct of those who
stand indicted In our courts for COMPLETELY

forms adopted in the State conventions
one last May and the other in July. that
you may see what they said on that sub

have raised by this declaration. We accept
ii and we propose to carry the fight before
the people of Kentucky to see If they will
indorse what the Republican platform In
dorses 1t Is sad commentary upon our
civilization.
