states in the union. The state is

to $1,118,335. This, too, in the face

The Courier-Journal of Thursday
made a vicious, 2-column onslaught
upon Gov. Beckham, the editorial
pen being welded by Mr.. Watterson
himself, with its point dipped in
vitriol. Taking as his text an alleged
statement by the Governor at Car
rolton that the Courier-Journal twas
doing everything in its power to
misrepresent and calumniate" him,
Mr.. Watterson enters a general de-
nial and after indulging in much
sarcasm declares that the Governor
himself is a "calumniator," insin-
yates that he possesses an immature
mind and niggard nature, grown
arrogant by indulgence" and says
he talks like a man beaten" He
goes further and intimates that the
Governor is relying upon "a deal in
volving the highest legal tribunal in
the state and two seats in the Senate
of the United States" Growing
bolder, he speaks of Gov. Beckham's
success as "a remote possibility"
says he is Ignorant in the use of
language and lacking in good breed
ing" He says he opposed "the
snap primary election which is
about to prove his Waterloo" for
various reasons. The Governor is
further along referred to as a mar
row faction-fghter," a typical
office-seeker," "a person." who as
Governor, has lowered every stand
ard and weakened every tradition
which, in days gone by, made for
the exaltation Of Kentucky at home
and its glory abroad" After this
unfortunate display of bad temper,
Mr.. Watterson defends the Courier
Journal for its promise of neutral
ity to the public" Laying aside his
claims to neutrality, the editor frank
ly declares thathe will vote against
Gov. Beckhan if he lives to get to
the polls. The Governors shot
seems to have hit the bulls eye in
one respect 1t has driven from
cover the enemy who, under the
gui3e of impartiality, was at heart a
staInch supporter Of the Governors
opponent. The great power of the
Courier-Journal is thus, for the
second time this year, turned against
one candidate in favor Of another in
a contest within the party. The
same thing happened last winter IL
the race for the Sgeakership. From
its boosted position as an Impartial
party organ, giving every man {
square DEAL" the Courier-Journa
has, in its old age, lowered itself tt
the level of the Bungtown Buale
that picks its fayorite in the party
contests and covers all the Others
with partisan vituperation. After
all, the big editors and the big men
are very much like the rest Of man
kind when you get close to them.
