Col. Henry wattersOn, having
grown tired of the knocking" Of
Gov. Beckham, Who has missed no
opportunity to charge that the
Courier Journal is fighting HIM, fires
a broadside into the Governor in
Thursdays issue Of the Courier
Journal. After pointing out that the
Governsr had no warrant for making
such a charge, Mr.. Wstterson says
II is his purpose to vote for Senator
McCreary. elf this is a crime,
says Mr.. WatteTson. "the Governor
may make the most oft; but though
the editor be hanged for il, he will
never contend that he is an innocent
and disinterested Democrat, his
allegations in his own behalf being
three in number and as follows. to-
wit;
First, that Senator McCrearY is
better qualified for Senator. or for
any other position of honor and
trust than Gov. Beckham.
Second, that Senator Mccreary,
being the sitting senator, and having
discharged the duties Of Senator
with distinction and fidelity, IL would
be an act Of ingratitude and folly on
the part Of the party he has served
SO long and 50 well to turn him out.
Third, and finally, that Mr..
Watterson believes the defeat Of
Senator McCreary and the choice Of
Governor Beckham would seriously

One frequently hears during a
campaign the statement my
ballot won't have any bearing on
the result. and there is no use in
my going TO the polls" Men who
habitually make this statement for

Public interests have suffered great

vote. One ballO, by itself does not
greatly count, and yet in the ag-

instances where even a single ballot
might have turned the scale.

or other words, is what ve Judge the
Messenger calls a "vishy-vashy"

sent the insult that was given as. but
will merely state here that Senator
McCreary never paid US one cen, for
supporting him, and that II he had
offered to pay US for such We would
not be supporting him today. He
is a man OF clean, moral and offcial
record and thus the man We need in

man is not--hence our attitude.

way of getting switches and connec-
tions with the Interstate lines and when
they do get them securing fair treat
ment. Men can not afford to take this
risk without the law guarantees them
protection and the people look to con-
gress to provide this protection in the
bill under consideration.
LAS matters now stand it is in the
power of the great through lines to
largely prevent the building Of branch
or lateral lines or to utterly crush
them out when built or make them un-
profitable If there is not a provision
in this bill compelling connections and
fair treatment to short lines the GER
tain result will be that people who have
made investments in lands will lose

have considerable influence on the in
terests of certain financial affairs. I
received from the parties who We're in

deal Of value to me. I knew that this
gift was made to me for the purpose
of influencing my action. I kept this
gift; used it, and profted by it. And
l do not think [ did anything which
was cause for disbarment proceedings
against me-"
Each of the justices was leaning for
ward in his seat. listening to the un-
usual declaration which was being
made. The lawyers in the court room
were exchanging glances. They thought
that keplinger was putting himself in
considerable jeopardy by admitting that
he had done practically the same thing
that Smith was accused of doing.
When the time came for me to take
the official action which I knew this
gift had been made to influence con-
tinued Mr.. Keplinger, q tried to act
with absolute independence. If any
thing. I tried to incline my sentiments
the other way. But I knew that the
gift was made for the purpose of modi-
flying my actions
There were no attorneys present to
represent the other side Of the case. but
they had a brief there which set things
forth in pretty strong language This
brief was prepared by Samuel Maher,
John A. Hale and Thomas J. White. In
speaking of the way in which Smith
got the diamond from Blank, the brief
says;
Upon the same day that this bargain
was struck and whilst its subject mat
ter was under discussion, the appellant
plucked from Blanks necktie a diamond
pin, admired it and asked for the loan
of it. The appellant was quick to see
and act upon his opportunity to extort
the loan of the diamond. with intention
never to return it. Blank could under
the circumstances hardly refuse the
loan even though he may have had
some suspicion as to the final outcome.
As soon as the appellant found himself
in possession of the diamond he con-
cluded that here was a case in which
possession was indeed at least nine
pointst in law"
The attorney for Mr.. Smith contend
ed that the real object of the disbar-
ment proceedings was to satisfy the
personal spite of some of Smiths enc
mics He declared that while Mr..
Smith perhaps lacked in tact and di
plomacy, he was a kind and loving hus-
band: that he had a young woman
daughter. whose life would be darkened
by the disbarment Of her father.
IF you disbar this man from prac-
tice," said Mr. Keplinger. you take his
life. for life has nothing for him when
he fe diSfa rred from his prOfeSSiOn.'' -
