speeches in the present campaign

from the federal government. claimed
credit for his administration for the

state. In concluding he refereed to
the local races and called upon the
Democrats to support their local
ticket. The reference to Mr.. Harrison

He accused the president OF taking
up Democratic ideas and made the
assertion that he believed that Mr..
Roosevelt was really a good Demo-
oIaI anyway. Mr.. James expressed
the opinion that the next congress,
tearing Japan, will vote to dispose

Like Governor Beckham, Mr..
james made an attempt to stir up
race hatred. Especially WIS IL the

speech was on the defensive, Cover

task of making reply to the charges
directly brought against his admin

Congressman James was introduce
ed by Eugene Graves and in his own
vigorous and humorous way soon
aroused some enthusiasm I'm the
crowd that had listened almost silent
ly to the governors address. After
a brief reference to local affairs,
during which he poured forth a IT,
rade of abuse and introduced the race
question. Mr.. James then drifted on
into a discussion OF national issues,
giving account OF his service in CON

MIR. James made the claim that the
Democratic members OF congress
wore responsible for the passage of
effectual rate legislation and the pass

gress.

coNFEssEs WEAKNESS.

Whatever may have been the ef
feet on partisan hearers last night OF
the plea of Governor Beckham fol
their support of the ticket. no fair
minded man can consider it otherwise
than as a confession of weakness,
With frankness that was almost
startling, the governor, after describ-
ing the infduities of Republican rule
said that conditions much resemble
those existing prior 10 Bradley'selec-
ton. and declared Republican cam
paign methods are similar Then he
told how the Gibraltar district has in
times past saved the state to Demoe-
racy. and appealed TO local pride to
come to the rescue once more, with
q bigger majority.
There was nothing said especially
about state issues. The strong speech
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-10-01

of former Governor Bradley at Prince
ton was not touched upon; but ever,
possible chord of passion and pretn-
dice. pride, lust, hate and hope were
played upon in behalf Of the city and
Legislative ticket
Taking the open appeal in Paducah
in connection with the Reputation OF
the Louisville platform at Mayfield
yesterday afternoon, one can form a
picture Of the governors mind, as he
considers the situation in Kentucky
Governor Beckham carried the RI
raj counties of Kentucky on a local
option platform at the state primary
He fell out with the Louisville city
machine; but was overruled by the
Hager and Hines influence in the
state committee, and owen Tyler was
nominated for mayor of Louisville by
the city machine. Tyler declared for
wide open town and a "lidless''
Sabbath. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
under a Louisville date, said Tyler
was Hager's candidate for mayor.
The repute in which Tyler's candida
CIV is held is Indicated by the precipi-
fancy with which Auditor Hager has
tened to declare that he had nothing
to do with Tyler's nomination.
Yesterday afternoon Governor
Beckham said at Mayfield, in charg-
ing that Mr.. Wilson is not for a clos
ed Sunday, "The better element of
Kentucky citizenship is in favor OF
strict Sabbath observance. / can not
see how any man can expect to APP
peal to the better class of voters with
out favoring a closed Sunday"
This is as much as to say that
owen Tyler. of Louisville, is not APP
pealing to the best citizenship of
Kentucky, and that Governor Beck
ham has nothing TO do with the Louis
vile ticket.
Manifestly Auditor Hager and
Governor Beckham believe that Owen
Tyler will be defeated for mayor of
Louisville. They must know that the
people of Louisville are interested in
the city election more than they are
in the state election. Some men, fear
ing to lose their vote, will not scratch
the ticket. and unless some powerful
impulse prompts them, good citizens
of Louisville. desiring to vote down
the iniqultous Democratic machine,
will vote the straight Republican
ticket.
1t is noticeable that in Paducah,
the extreme statement, regarding the
attitude Of the "best citizenship"
which the governor expressed at May
field, was not repeated. Such state
ments are for the dry counties, where
the governor rolled up his majority
year ago. In Louisville the "open
town" platform is adopted by the 10
cal Democracy. In Paducah and Nc
Cracker county, the Democratic tick
ct was not picked out to appeal TO
that better element of citizenship
to which Governor Beckham referred
at Mayfield 1t looks as II the Demo-
cratic state machine was hoping 10
get an even break in the cities by
appealing to local conditions, and
roll up a majority in the dry counties:
but the appeal for bigger majority
In the First district is taxing the re.
sources Of a Democracy that is al
ready in rebellion against the very
folks who ask so much, especially
since the First district is neglected at
the state pie counter.

The contest for grand outer guard
is naturally always spirited but usu.

The Paducah lodge has selected
Mr.. AL E. Young as its candidate for

are several other prospective candi-
dates notably Editor George c. Car
