Candidates for sheriff and Assessor
Also Forced OG ny "Coid
Deal"
MANY DEMOCRATS ARE SORE

Louisville, Ky, April 25.--The
Democratic primary to nominate can
didates for city aud county Offices Is
being held today.
incidentally, the city Is dry for "a
hours under the law which provides
that saloons must close on election
days, primaries included.
Paul Barth. president of the board
of aldermen was sure of nomination
for mayor. lie is backed by the city
administration and by the Democrats
who dominate the city committee.
Senator l.aban Phelps found that this
combination Is too strong~to 20 up
against and Withdrew yesterday az
tornoon.
Mr.. Phelps on Saturday complain
ed to the committee that there are
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
Illegal registrations on the books and
asked that they be stricken on The
committee held that II was power
less to do anything, even II such
should be proved the case. Mr.. Barth
also appeared before the committee
and declared that he did not want
any Illegal votes east for him, but
the Phelps people have not troubled
themselves with applauding Mr..
Barth for any -mndedness in
this action.
The election officers were an
nounced only Saturday morning and
the Phelps people also complain that
they have not been given fair deal
here. Their greatest complaint. how
ever, was over the refusal of the com
mittee to allow them inspectors and
challengers. All in all, the primary
will be all that could be expected
when one set of candidates is going
up against che machine"
A number of candidates have no
opposition, but are on the ticket Just
the same. The Phelps people allege
that the committee awarded officers
TO these candidates as well as to
those who have opposition. and in
this and othsr-xays reduced the
Phelps representation at the polls to
a minimum. All city and county OFF,
GERS who are elected by the people.
legislature will be nominated. The
county judge and members OF the
committee dominates the council and
school trustees.
Among those who withdrew from
the races yesterday because they
claim they had been given a raw
deal and the cards were stacked
against them, were:
Laban Phelps, for mayor.
James II. Brown. for sheriff.
Charles J. Fegenbush. for assessor.
II is generally conceded that this
action on part of the Democratic
machine will reduce the Democratic
chances for winning In November. as
the supporter of those, who were
forced out, are very sore. and swear
vengeance on the machine.
