 Guest of St. Louis.

Lexington. Ky, Aug. 24s-With < discussion of the race problem, ger eral political issnes from the South efn standpoint and an appeal to ken' tuckians and other suuthtrners 10 come to the aid Of the rcpubicafi party in support of those principles which he believed they favored; Sec retary of War William H Tatt Thurs. day opened the republican state cai3- paign in this city. Calling attention to what he called the sonth's lack of representation in the councils of the nation, he declared that this was true, because one single issue mas made 1t the perpetual tail Of the der1. ocratic party so that however small the northern head it wags that tall, the south has permitted the shadows of an Issue that rcicumstances ought long ago to have removed from pollt ical controversy to bind it's soiidity to the democratic party no matter what principles or candidates that party has adopted.
 He called attention to the prosper ity of kentucky's developing indus tries and agricultural wealth and cx- pressed the belief that many ken tuckians who favored a protective tariff had blindly voted the democrat ic ticket because of the feeling on the race Issue.
