CAMPAIGN
IN KENTUCKY
Candidate BeIknap DenOunCes
Democratic Governor for
Pardoning COnviCts

MUNSFORD, KY, Sept. 13.-In the
presence of several thousand people
TIE Republican state campaign was
opened yesterday by Col. Merris B.
Belknap, candidate for governor. The
party leaders were in attendance and
other candidates on the stata ticket
delivered short addresses. Special
trains brought large crowds fro2i
nearby cities.
Col. Belknap's speech dealt mainly
with the pardon record of Gov. Beck
ham, which, he asserted, was largely
responsible for the lawless conditions
prevailing in Breathitt and other coun-
ties. He said in part:
The dramatic and tragic panorama
of political events in our state for
four years is one from which we in
stinctively turn away. 1t is heavy
tragedy with the slime of untruth
clinging to it's garments. Repulsive
and reeking with the foul atmos-
phere of dungeons, it displays body
prostituted to perjury and fraud.
Referring to one of the more noted
of the Breathitt county pardons, Col.
Belknap said: Perhaps Raleigh was
innocent of having voted any other
than the Democratic ticket. Raleigh
was the man convicted of killing a
little girl in Breathitt county, and who
was pardoned by Mr.. Beckham. Your
governor by pardoning this miscreant
has shown that he thinks the brute
who would improperly accost your
daughters and then shoot them like
dogs was fit, after a few years punish
ment, to enjoy the full privilege of
citizenship.
"The table of pardons granted dur
ing the last three administrations and
submitted to the public by the gov
ernor in defense of his record is an
interesting one, although conspicu-
ously incomplete. Still it shows that
a. least 1125 convicts have been set
free in eleven years. Those paroled
and not counted would easily carry
the number to 1900.
"Mr. Beckham has asked me in the
event of my election if l would pardon
Howard or Powers, or either of them.
/ answer in the words of Lord Coke,
When the case happens | shall do
that which shall be for the judge to
do"
Turning to the trials Of the alleged
assassins of Goebel, Col. Belknap de-
clared: 1.-The trials that have been so
far conduced with partisan juries and
perjured testimony leave justice un-
satisfied No such travesties can fool
the public, and again they demand
the acts which they have reason to
believe are being concealed for poll
tical purposes and which are vital
to the truth in this case being di-
vulgsd."

Commands
SIX THOUSAND WERE KILLED
Alba mans, Acting Undar Orders
Turkish Ruler, Commit
Awful Outrages

SOFIA, Sept. 13.-Courier dispatch
es received here by the Autonomie
say the Albanians, acting under d.
rect orders from the Sultan, have
been engaged in a general massacre
of Bulgarians il the districts Of Okh-
rida and Leren.
The council of ministers is said to
have decided to mobolize the First
and Second army divisions. whose
headquarters are at Sofia and Philip
popolis
Alarming rumors are current of fur
ther wholesale massacres of Bulgar-
lans in the vilayet of Monastir. One
report says that 5000 persons have
been slaughtered in the district of Le-
rem alone, which is purely Bulgarian.
Other reports affirm that the Turks
have burned the Christion quarters in
three towns, Florma, Okhilda ana
Resen.
Fearful descriptions are given of the
sights seen in Lesen district, the SOL
diers slaughtering men, women and
children in every direction, displaying
barbarism never before witnessed.
The number of killed is not stated
in the courier's dispatch, but accord
ing to reports from other sources the
total number of the victims will
reach 5000.
Tie Turkish government is believed
to have at the present time no less
than sixty thousand soldiers in the
vilayet of Adrianople, large bodies of
them within ten to fifteen kilometres
of the Bulgarian frontier. Confronted
with such a situation, it is argued.
that Bulgaria will be amply justified
in mobolizing the First and Second
army divisions, the headquarters OF
which are at Sofia and Phiiippopolis
and which comp Use the forces nearest

The government appears to be firmly
resolved to avoid giving Turkey the
slightest pretex for declaring hostili-

slrain the war fever. Sofia and the
country generally are outwardly as
calm as in the most peaceful times but
the Bulgarians say this calm is more
to be feared than at any other time.
An engagement is reported to have
occurred between force of insurgents
and Turkish troops at Suipindol In
which not a single revolutionary was
killed, while the Turks lost heavily.
kilograms from Burgas say the Bull
garian population is fast disappearing
from the district of Losengrad and
tlat everyone unable to escape to the
Bulgarian frontier is killed.
Five hundred fugitives who have ar
ri, ed at Burgas from Tekengea, re-
sort that two men, one 100 years old
and the other IS, were impaled by the
Turks. The war office here is greatly
concerned over the increasing number
OF deserters who go to join the In
suIgents.

DRASTIC MEASURES NECESSARY

DRASTIC MEASURES NECESSARY
LONDON, Sept. 13.-From informa-
tion g.eaned in various diplomatic
circles in London yesterday, the AS
sociated Press learned that the pow
ers have come to recognize the fact
that only drastic measures will main
tain peace between Turkey and Bull
garia.
No one participating in the nego-
tistions now denies that the two coun-
tries are perilously close TO war. 1t is
even suggested in a responsible quar-
ter that the Slavs are working with
the Bulgarians to convince the world
that a frightful state of affairs pre-
walls in Macedonia and that humanity
demands the Intervention of the pow
ers.
Strong pressure is being exerted on
the British Foreign Office to cause il
to take more energetic action to stop
the atrocities en- the part of the Turks.
But the policy of the cabinet continues
to be confined to preserving the con-
cert of Europe.

consolation that they are going to
their well-earned rewards. but this

never perish Their whole lives were
filled with devotion and self-sacritice
They watched over their people from
the cradle to the grave and guided
their footsteps through many a
weary pass. They not only laid the
foundation of the Catholic Church in
America and studded the land from
end to end with beautiful churches
and noble institutions. but they estab-

country from the destroying hand of
Sordid commercialism. Their teach
