JOHN ". YERKES
 SUCCEEDS TAYLOR As Republican Candidate for Gov-
 ernor of Kentucky. NOMINATION U NAN l NOUS Ex-Governor Bradley Said if Revolu- ton Was Necessary to Establish
 Liberty in Kentucky He Will
 Favor the Revolution
NOMINATION UNAN l NOUS

Louisville, Ky, July 17.-The Republi- can State Convention today nominated for Governor Hon. John w. Yerkes of Dan- vile adopted a platform declaring the issue of the election to be the Goebel elec- ton law, and adjourned within three hours. There were some anti-Goebel Democrats in the convention, but as to how many figures differ In the Shelby County delegation there were,. according to a statement made from the platform, nineteen Democrats.
 A feature of the speeches was that they all paid tributes to what the Democratic party has done in the past though they unsparingly denounced the present Demo- cratic state administration and the Demo- cratic Legislature, thus indicating a pur pose to welcome into the Republican party all Democrats who are opposed to the Goe- bel election law.
 There was no nomination to be made by this convention except for Governor, as this years election in Kentucky is an traordinary one to fill the vacancy in the Governorship made by the death of Will fam Goebel. The present Governor, Beck ham, will hold this office only until his successor is elected and qualified, unless he should himself be elected Governor.
 Hon. John w. Yerkes, the nominee for Governor, is lawyer and one of the most

liberty to other people, yet 1t could not give freedom to the people of Kentucky and put in office the men whom the people of Ken lucky had elected" He claimed that the Democrats were now considering the repeal of the Goebel law and said: ''They see the handwriting the wall.
 When he said that he was for revolution II revolution was necessary to preserve lib- erty in Kentucky, the delegates stood on their feet and yelled.
 The nomination of MT. Yerkes was made by exclamation He was escorted to the hall, and when the cheering had subsided addressed the convention. The convention stood on its feet for several minutes and shouted when 1t caught sight Of MT. Yerkes

under a board of directors or control, and was in no way responsible for said failure, the same should not be visited upon him; therefore,
 Be it resolved That 1t is the. privilege and pleasure of this body to exonerate ana acauit him of any blame attaching to the unfc.1rlnate failure of the Fair Association to meet it's obligations.
 Resolved further, That this resolution be spread upon the records of this associa- tion."
 Adopted by rising vote
 What Is News
 The first paper on the programme was one by General J. B. Stanley or the Green vile Advocate on "What Is News: How to Tell It, and What Not to Tell" General Stanley argued against printing sensational news of all kinds, saying the editor should allow nothing to go in his paper which he would not like for his family to read.
 C. J. Hildreth followed MT. Stanley and argued along the same line, adding that he made it a rule to print as many names of local people as possible, as 1t made friends for the paper.
 MT. Rhodes of the Birmingham News and Major Screws of the Montgomery Adver- tiser stated that their papers did not print all the news they heard because they deemed it best to suppress some things The latter said he was glad that there was not an Alabama paper modelled on the line of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Mrs. Mildred Pierce of the Citronelle Times read the annual poem. She did not call it a poem, however, saying that she preferred to devote her paper to woman in business. The paper she had prepared was a very able presentation of the question. Mrs. Pierce does not believe in women go- ing into active competition with men in all branches of work. She believes it detracts from her womanly character, and causes her tO be less reSnpptpd DV
 c. H. Greer of the Marion Standard read a paper "The Dark and Bright Side of Newspaper Life" MT. Greer showed by his paper that he was familiar with both sides, and also that he has been able to overcome the dark features to a great extent. The success he has made of the Marion Stand ard is evidence that all has not been dark at that place for him.

Rether all the friends of social order and civil liberty. Republican officials elected by the people at the polls have been denied their office and the people of Kentucky de- prived of the right of choosing their State officials
 ''Republican members of the Legislature were unlawfully unseated, the city of Louisville deprived of the right to any part in the conduct of the government, the coun- ties of Johnson, Magoffin and Martin have been denied all voice in the choice of our officials The courts declare that the only remedy for such invasions of personal ltb- erty rests with the people at the polls. We declare that the only tolerable government is self-government. We declare that this State must be free and equal and the will of the people must be the supreme law of the state. We demand for each child free school, but we deny that education or ac- cumulated property alone confer the right of suffrage. The first duty of Kentucky citizenship Is to repeal the Goebel election law, which is the source and continuing strength of the wrongs done in this state. A vote of confidence next November in men who are all usurpers of office and who have for year past been acting together to thwart the declared will of the people be accepted as a vote of confidence or the election law that is a blot on our statute book. The Goebel law must be abolished or Republican institutions must be sur rendered. The convention invites all friends of civil liberty and social order to unite with the Republicans of Kentucky in se- curing the repeal of the Goebel election law and the preservation of the liberties of the people We congratulate the Republi- can party on the efforts made by Governor Taylor and his co-officials in securing this right to the people and thereby preventing the State from having as officers men de- feated at the polls"
 Governor Bradley Spoke
 After the adoption of the platform, Former Governor Bradley nominated for Governor Hon. John W. Yerkes. Governor Bradley plunged into Kentucky political affairs, claiming that the Democratic party in this State had steadily lost strength on account of the money question and the Goebel law. He claimed that the Demo- crats killed Goebel by passing the Goebel election law
 Governor Bradley discussed at great length the last election in Kentucky, claim ing that there were no valid reasons why every Republican vote cast should not have been counted He inferentially criticised the plea of lack of jurisdiction of the courts in the contest for the State offices saying:
 'The United States government could levy tax and call on the people of Ken lucky to defend the nation and could send its army and navy to distant lands to give

He was a strong candidate for United States Senator when Deboe was elected. After w. s. Taylor announced that he would not be a candi- date for reelection, MT Yerkes announced himself as a candidate and no other name has since been mentioned for the place. The convention was held in the Auditor ium. The boxes were nearly all filled with ladies, and in one were Mrs. w. s. Taylor, wife of the former Republican Governor, and four of her daughters. The conven- ton gave her three cheers when she en- tered the box.

 Chairman of the State Central Committee c. M. Barnett called the convention to or der and introduced the Rev. H.

 Chairman Barnett started to speak to the convention. but former Governor w. O. Bradley entered the auditorium, and the delegates interrupted the speaker with a storm Ot cheers TOT OONeTHOT bTdulty' Chairman Barnett's references to w. Taylor were wildly cheered. He said with the Republicans of Kentucky it was not question of whether the constitution fol- lows the flag, but whether the constitution was worth anything under the flag MT. Barnett presented Ex-Lieutenant Governor John Marshall of Louisville for temporary chairman, and he was unanimously select ed In fact the nays on the question were not put to the convention MT. MarshalPs speech dealt largely with Kentucky politi- cal affairs.
 Judge T. z. Morrow was made permanent chairman. Judge Morrow reused the con vention to high pitch of enthusiasm in a short but vigorous speech in which he de- clared that the Democratic officials at Frankfort held their office by the same ti- tie by which a wolf holds a sheep that it has just taken from the fold" The Platform
 The platform, which was unanimously adopted, contained three planks the second and third respectively endorsing the Phila- delphia convention and its nominees, and urging the government to protect Ameri- cans in China, and the first one dealing with the state campaign. It was as fol- lows:

Mrs. R. D. Johnston of this city, who is at the head of the Boys Industrial School at East Lake, was introduced to the asso- citation by President Rhodes. Mrs. Johnston spoke of the work that had been done to- wards building the school and of the suc- cess with which it's promoters had so far met. She said the Central Assembly of Alabama had appropriated 5000 towards building t'.e school, and that the Commer- cial Clu3 of Birmingham had bought farm and given it to the school. She said $10,000 building was about completed and that four boys were now being cared for at the school. She appealed to the news papers in Alabama to aid in the work started by the Federation of Women's Clubs of the State, which had resulted in the building now in course of construc- ton.
 At the conclusion of Mrs. Johnston's re- marks Major Screws of the Montgomery Advertiser offered the following resolution which was adopted:
 Resolved, That the thanks of the Ala bama Press Association are hereby extend- ed to Mrs. R. D. Johnston for her inter- esting address, and hereby pledge hearty cooperation with the good women who are engaged in the noble work of building a reform industrial school for boys and will do it's utmost to make it the success which conditions in the State suggest it should be !"
