Senator-eIfet blackburn OF Kentucky and
Senator Stewart of Nevada were the cen
trail figures in little group Of prominent
men in Chamberlin's last night. who dis
cussed the sAo@ing Of State senator Goebel
and the present situation in Kentucky.
IN tell you what think about it, said
Mr. Blackburn Il regard ;he attempted
assassination Of GOebel as premeditated
murder. This thing was not a passing af-
fair, Il had been carefully planned for
week or more One week ago today | was
in Frankfort with Goebel. and we saw that
in several hundred Taylor men. who were
transported free of charge at the expense
Of the State. These men were quietly nus
tied of and supplied with rifles and am
munitiun TO be ready for the excitement
which would accompany the commission OF
the crime. II the Federal Administration
passes over this crime it will make better
campaign material than any question OF
expansion or monopoly. Il will have the
effect Of making other States think OF what
a Governor. backed by the Federal Admin-
istration. can do. II is shameful
Il would like to get the case and prose
cute Governor Taylor as an accessory,
said Senator Stewart.
