Republican Candidate For At
torney General at Marion.
RidicuIes Statement of Opponent
That There Is No Democratic
Machine.
THE LAWS ARE NOT ENFORCED.

Marion, Ky, Sept 17.-JudgeI
James Breathitt, of Hopkinsville. Re
publican candidate for attorney-gen-
eral of Kentucky, spoke here yester-
day afternoon, and began his stump
ing campaign in western Kentucky.
He characterized the present race
for state offices as one of the most
important in the history of the com
monwealth. He asserted that the
Democrats were seeking suffrages
without any platform or declaration
of principles. each candidate being
left to promise what he pleased,
without the power 10 perform. He
discussed at length the platform of
the Republican party. He made a
plea for the voters TO put the welfare
OF the state above party allegiance,
and charged shat the Democratic
party was dominated by political
machine.
Judge B0eathitt spent considerable
time in discussing the GOebel law
and its results. He ridieuled the as
sertion OF his opponent. John X.
Hendrick. that there is no Dem
'oeratic machine, after the latter
had made a similar charge in
his race for governor in 1903.
81 don't believe" he said, that
big-hearted, courageous John Hend-
rick belongs to any political ma
chine; there is too much honor and
manhood in him. but he is tied to one
of its wheels and 1t is whirling
him to political ruin" He impugned
the motives of Governor Beckham in
naming reform candidates In Louis
Vile and said 1t was only move Of
the machine for the purpose of fool
ing the moral element in Louisville
and It was never intended that they
should be nominated for the offices
to which they were appointed. He
talked at length of the financial con-
dition of Kentucky, and charged the
administration with the manipula-
ton of tax lists. attacked the new
revenue law, and alleged gross ex-
travagance and acknowledgement in
public expenditures. He assail-
ed might riding" and said: THE
criminal laws were better enforced
under Governor Bradley than under
the present administration, the Lord
knows, for be It said to the shame of
Kentucky, that there has been for
the last few years perfect saturnal-
Ia of crime in the state. In certain
parts of the state life has been con-
stantly in danger, property amounting
to thousands OF dollars destroyed by
the torch of the midnight marauder,
peaceful citizens have been taken
from their homes and subjected to-
and torture, homes have
been fired into and women shot,
either accidentally or purposely, and
the highways have been infested
with rowing bands OF lawless men
bent on alt manner Of depredations
and wrongs against inoffensiye citi-
zens."
Judge Breathitt said that the dec
larations of the Democratic candi-
dates on temperance were about as
binding as the vaporings of a back
woods candidate for magistrate,
while the republicans favored a uni
form local option law with the county
as the governing unit In closing he
spoke humorously of the Louisville
lid, and said the governor had no
more jurisdiction in the matter than
he had in the Philippine islands.

REVOLUTIONARY PLOT.
Government Fails to Issue Statement
 On Plot to Kill Emperor.

St Petersburg, May 1.-The failure of the government to issue statement regarding the plot against the life of Emperor Nicholas, which come to light two days ago, coupled with the ambig- uous attitude of certain high officials, has given rise to theory that the gov ernment has to deal with a revolution ary plot which contemplates the proc lamation of regency or dictatorship.
 The constitutional democratic lead CTS avow that they are perplexed by the contradictory reports of the mys- terious doings at the palace. They are inclined to give credence to the theory that the discovery of the revolutionary plot led to the supplementary discov- cry of another conspiracy in which the extreme reactionaries are involved.

 He said that since he came to Birming- ham he had heard that the word hustle" is used, to which he could testify, both in street, business and church matters For this reason you become restless and impatient, condemning our eastern slow ness, saying, Why don't they do this and that?' but If you were acquainted with the difference of conditions you woulI marvel at the accomplishments of the years.
 While over here you have perfect re- llgious freedom, there, the state is su- preme. and the churches are first, last and all the time for the government" He described quite Interestingly the condi- tions in France, claiming that the Cath ollie church would thrive more now than before the separation of church and state.
