Oh them nave uenounceu me. maze
as 1 told you, a statement in that in
terview, and the reporter caught it in
such a way that it might lead the
"Kentuckian" and the New Era" to
infer that | meant this Post article
was written by one of their corre-
spondents The man said Beach was
from Hopklnsville. don't blame any
BODY from Hopkinsville for getting
mad at that
Now, this man calls me a dema-
lgogue, a small politician and in no
sense statesman. Oh, he calls me all
the pretty names you can think Of
That's the Darlington Bee" that said
that. What is the matter with that
bee? That bee hasn't stung anybody.
That bee has been stung. (Applause
and laughter)
Pau Moore, the editor and publisher
Of this sheet was nominated for con
gress against me a short time ago
and he was not defeated-Oh, no-he
was repudiated. Last November was
an off year for Democratic congress-
men Good men were beaten whose
ld1stricts had been Democratic for life
time. This man had every reason to
expect at least a handsome vote.
Hitherto, have been elected by ma
Jority OF about three or four thousand,
but with this funny looking "bee" on
the ticket | got about SIX THOUS-
AND majority
II l was & demagogue, if / was an
ass, if | was liar, if l was a small
politician, (Oh, there is a whole page
CT it, why in the name of God didn't
he get out here and tell you a few
months ago, when he was the nomi-
nee Of his party against me? He says
l am trying to bring politics into this
thing. He brings it in by saying what
the DEMOCRATIC press said. You
may believe that all the honest men
are In the Democratic party, but they
are not. There are rascals in both
parties He ought to know there is no
politics about this Association. Not
bit. This Association acts on a COM
munity exactly like Judgment Day.
r 1t separates the sheep from the goats.
(Applause and laughter.)
Now, some fellow will go out of here
and say I called Paul Moore a goat
ana couldn't tell whether he was a
] goat or not because he wasn't here
5 and you couldn't see him. (Laughter0
] That is the popularity about a goat.
r If he is an old goat, you don't have
to see him, to tell he's a goat. Gap
4 ,plause and laughter)
D Now, why didn't he abuse me then?
e Why didn't he call me a small pOliti-
r clan, a demagogue, a night rider, and
f ian incendiary? Because he knew that
the people Of this district, Democrats
o and Republicans alike, are Kentuck-
a Iians and they are manly men, and
y would have said, Look here, Moore,
lif you are going to make that kind Of
}, Ian assault on Stanley, you must meet
S him when you make it. They would
? have gone to him and said, meet him
S on the stump" l invited him to meet
s. line. You never heard of him accept
T. ing it, did you? They would have
forced him to meet me.

9 A bee lives on flowers. If this thing
n should light on a flower it would Kill
7 lit. This bee belongs to the st. Ber-
;. lnard Coal Company Everything this

4 (pointing to a little boy in the audi
p ence.) addressing the boy) Did you
2 ever see this kind of a bee, son?
thought it was bee. l thought they

that mistake but once. (Applause ano

Now, l have got to name this bug

amt the Darlington Bee It's the
John B. Darlington Bug" There is
this difference between these two
bugs: One goes with its head up, anC
Naughter.) The one that goes will
its head up has a hard head and has
got sense in it. and the other has {
! soft head and don't know whether his
head or tail is up. The one with the
! hard head is the John B. Bug" He
! has been bossing the little bug so Ions
a that he don't know which end is III

malodorous little John b. Darlington
