Gov. Taylor Issues a
Statement.
Has Begun Proceeding for In
junction Himself.

Cincinnati. Ohio. February 14.-Hclt-
ius that the federal court had NO turisd!c-
iion In the contests In Kentucky, Judge
Taft this aftsrnoon refused to grant the
application for Injunction against the
Kentucky state board Of elections and the
Democratic Contestants for state officers
other than governor and lieutenant
governor.
|. Judge Taft denied the application for
injunotions In both GASES In the Kentucky
suits. After citing tbs law showing tsst
the federal court had no Jurisdiction In
suoh oases, he reviewed the doebsl cleo
tion law a. the most infamous stascts
that had ever come before the attention OF
a court, and also denounced In very
vigorous tsrms the conditions that have
existed In Kentucky and that are Cited In
the bill Of fsots. But be hsli that IL was
merely a matter Of law with the court,
not will ssanding tbs outrases that are
alleged in the undisputed statement of
the facts Of the petitioners. There was an
immense crowd In the Federal building
AVA iting the decision Of the court.
STATEMENT FROM GOV. TAYLOR.
Frankfort, February it.-Vhen In.
formed that Judge Taft had refused juris-
d,otion Governor Taylor gave TO the As
ISOLATED Press the following statement:
"The decision of Judge Taft today
holding that his court had no jurisdiction
in tho casa OF the minor s.ats offices does
not eff ct the merits Of the cass. He does
not determine that the petitioners had no
merits In their cares. but only that his
court could net take Jurisdiction and
right the wrong. II he had held that he
had jurisdiction 1t would have all been
over, for the outrages were so glazing
that the Republicans would have won
hands down. The decision In said cases
does not In the least Affect my case.
