Renewal Of Old FIoht.


The fight is in measure a renewal of
the old Hunter-B Bradley political feud
with complications. Eight years ago,
Bradley was elected governor and Hun
ter, the smoothest republican politician
ever produced in Kentucky, managed his
campaign for him. Hunter claimed as a
reward the United States senatorship,
the legislature having gone republican
with the state ticket. Bradley declined
to assist Hunter to reach the goal of his
ambition, and Deboe, a rank outsider-a
one thousand to one shot-was elected
senator. Bradley not only fell out with
a majority of his party in Kentucky over
the affair, but also with President Nc
Kinley. The former governor never WIS.,
tied the White House after the first year
of the Mckinley administration, for Nc
Kinley had. through Senator Hanna, ex-
erted every influence to force Bradley in
line for Hunter.
When Roosevelt became President,
Kentucky republicans had reached a low
ebb. The first thing Roosevelt did was
to call Bradley TO Washington and con-
suit him about the distribution of pa
tronage. During the Mckinley adminis-
tration Bradley had been consistently ig-
nored. The recognition of Bradley by
Roosevelt again brought him into such
prominence that he is today in position
to again become the most powerful force
in Kentucky republican politics, provided
his candidate, Wilson, is nominated.
The Field Against Wilson.
Briefly told, the fight among the Ken
lucky republicans is the field against
Wilson, the Bradley candidate. Most of
the federal officeholders received their
places at the time Bradley was being ig-
nored by the national administration.
There is no doubt that every effort will
be made to defeat Wilson. The most
powerful factor against him is the oppo-
sition of Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Yerl1es, who was his partys can
didate three years ago, and came nearly
defeating Beckham.
There Is still a very strong feeling
among the republicans OF the state for
the denomination of Mr.. Yerkes. Yerles
is very popular, and can take many
votes from the democrats.
At present the situation Is so compli-
Gated that no prediction can be made as
to the result of the convention. though
the chances seem to indicate the defeat
of Wilson. and the nomination of Belk-
nap, Yerkes or dark horse. Mr.. Yerkes
who left Washington today to attend the
convention, says he does not want the
nomination, though he will undoubtedly
have strong support and there will doubt
less be efforts to stampede the conven-
ton to him.

KY CONVENTION

tlOnaI Administration
THREE CANDIDATES. OUT
Republicans Of Blue Grass state Are
Rent With Factions, and Hunter
Bradley Feud VIII Be
Again Renewed.
THREE CANDIDATES. OUT
nY WArTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, July 11.-(special,)-The
Kentucky state republican convention
which meets in Louisville, on next We'd
nesday Will be interesting only in its
solution of a fractional quarrel. The
national administration and President
Roosevelt will be Endorsed. the usual re-
publican tariff plank Will be adopted, but
the platform will deal largely with local
matters Of which there are an abundance
in. Kentucky. OF recent years the most
powerful club for forcing victory at the
polls in the hands of Kentucky demo-
Gratis has been the assassination Of Gov
ernor William Goebel, and the indiffer-
ence of the republican administration to-
wards that crime. This year the Ken
lucky republicans will seek the same
kind of club SO successfully used by the
democrats, and will point with alarm to-
wards the Breathitt county feud troubles
and the alleged lack Of action on the part
OF Governor Beckham and the democrat
ic administration. Beckham is again the
candidate Of his party.
Three Candidates.
There are three announced candidates
for the republican nominatlon-Augustus
70. Wilson of Louisville, Morris BellSnap
of Louisville and Clifton ]. Pratt Of
Madisonville. Wilson is one Of the ablest
lawyers in the state, and one of the best
stump speakers. Belknap is successful
and wealthy business man, and was
lieutenant colonel of Col. ]. B. Castle
mans First Kentucky Volunteers. Pratt
is the present attorney general Of Ken
lucky, having won his seat on a contest
decided in his favor by the then repub-
lican Court of Appeals.
AS was always the case. the republic
can party of Kentucky is rent with fac
lions this year. Positively the only ques-
ton under serious discussion is the
fight in convention between former Gov
ernor william o. Bradley and John w.
Yerkes, commissioner of internal reve-
nue. and national committeeman. The
former has declared for Wilson, the lat
ter for Beknap. II Wilson is nominated
Bradley will be the power behind the
throne, and YerlSes will almost cease to
exist politically. AS a starter, he Will
be removed from the republican national
committee, and some other republican
perhaps Bradley himself, will be given
his place. If Bellknap or any other candi-
date except Wilson is nominated, Bradley
will hereafter devote himself strictly to
the practice of law.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Watson from New York: The severe decline in

with which the rank and file Of traders have 50
long regarded the market. Nothing so discour
ages ten average trader as fall in prices with
out apparent cause Whatever the reasons Tor
this weeks decline, they are hidden from the
public There is no question that: the drop in
trust with which the general. situation Is viewed
by the street. hTe selling Of these shares Is at
tributed to members Of the underwriting synd,
in other securities foated in the boom. Not,
withstanding these drawbacks, however, good
stocks should be bought on this decline, par
aticularly the grangers and ccdlers
q New York to Lewis-The recent collapse of
the Consolidated Superior company has possibly
left some quarter in the vulnerable position and
out their stock simply as protective measure.
London contributed largely to the general selling
movement and thereby increased the gravity OF
the situation
New York to Wha1lon-Pessimistic gossip is
increasing and the market is rather panicky at
times.
J. b. Harris says: II people won't buy more
stocks than they can abundantly protect, be-
lieve purchases at this level will prove profit
able They must be patient, however.
