Manager Shlnn, of Property Clerks,

get q team on the field, and Beckett
claimed a forfeit. Shinn protested the

that he was officially notified that the
game was postponed.
Both Assessors and Surface claimed
a forfeit In Thursdays game. Assessors
did not have nine regular men on the
field, but Manager Pratt claimed a for

| and that the responsibility will rest
on the Republicans; but many Of
those good citizens, who supported
James p. Smith consider themselves
| Just as good Democrats as ever they
were, in spite of the accusation OF
the party organ that they are creme
gades'' and traitors" Such ill-ad-
vised abuse came near eleeting the
whole municipal ticket.
To those blind fellow beings, into
whose ears the organ buzzed the fear
of NEGRO domination" we hold forth
the assurance that they have been
listening to the talk of bigots and i'm
posters.
Why, those respectable colored
voters. who went TO the polls yester-
day and voted for James p. Smith.
ask in return only what the respect
able white Democrats, who did the
same thing, ask as a reward-good
government. The other colored
voters--and there were scores OF
them-who voted the Democratic
ticket. got what they asked for be-
fore they voted.
One distinguished minister OF the
gospel stood on the stage of the Ken
lucky theater at the Democratic rally
Monday night and declared. that If
the Republicans we're successful they
would be in honor bound to give the
negroes Offices. We believe the good
doctor will not go to James p. Smith
and offer him that suggestion as ad-
vice. We think he did not mean It,.
He and Dave Cross, and Alben Bark
ley and Hal Corbett were just talking
to Democrats then. trying to scare
them into line, and he did not mean
for the victorious Republicans to take
him in earnest.
Nay, Good Neighbor, the axiom,
which you invoked, "To the victors
belong the spoils." is not Republican
doctrine. 1t is a Democratic express
sion. But those words you spoke
from the stage of The Kentucky
about Government of the people, for
the people and by the people," ana
'You can fool some of the people all
the time, and all the people some Of
the time. but you can't fool all the
people all the time" were originally
uttered by the first president the Re
publican party ever elected. The
other quotations were from the Bible,
and scarce became any sort of partl-
san political gathering.
But enough of this. We are feel
ing mighty kindly this morning to-
ward everybody. Those 500 or more
Democrats, who stood up for Padu-
cab yesterday, turned the trick. Mr..
Smith goes INTO the mayors Office
unpledged and unhampered by parti-
san obligations. He has behind him
a general council In sympathy with
his administration. II is up to him
and to the Republican party to make
good the anticipations of the citizens
of Paducah.
