Louisville Ministers are Circu-
lating Petitions.
Louisville Mayor Refuses to Entel
Democratic Primary Because of
Conditions Imposed.
MANY SIGNATURES TO PETITION

Louisville, Ky. Sept. IA petit
ton urging Mayor Robert w. Bing-
ham to come out on an Independent
ticket has been circulated among the
clergy of Louisville within the last
ten days and it is claimed that about
all of the Protestant clefgymen in
Louisville have signed the petition.
The petition, it is understood. ask
ed that Mayor Bingham in event that
he did not become a candidate for
domination at the Democratic primar-
les enter the field as an independent
A previous petition urged Mayor
Bingham to seek the nomination as
candidate on the Democratic ticket.
This former petition was circulated
before the mass meeting held on the
roof garden of the Seelbach several
weeks ago.
Following the meeting at the Seel-
bach and the attitude of Mayor Bling
ham on the question of running for
the mayOralty, he having openly ex-
pressed his intention of not going af-
ter the office in event that conditions
imposed by the Democratic city and
county executive committee were not
to his liking, the second petition was
drafted but held up until last week
when Mayor Binghams position be
came clear.
The signing of the petition by the
lclergymen is said to have been done
as individuals and not by the Minis
terial association as an organization
The Ministerial association of Louis
Vile it was stated by prominent
preacher this morning would not hold
a meeting until October.
Several of the clergymen who have
returned from their vacations within
the last few days, said this morning
that they had been informed of the
existence of the petition before they
reached Louisville, and that within
twenty-four hours after their arrival
here they had been approached re-
lgarding their attitude in the matter

stituted the greatest portion of wait

WANT THIRD STREET
FOR AUTOMOBILE RACES
Horse Show Promoters Ask
Council TO Allow Races on
Thoroushfare.

II the city council will grant per
mission to use the street, the horse
show and matine races promoters will
pull off some automobile races down
Third street two or three mornings
during the horse show meet The
matter is now under consideration
and may probably be put before the
city council Monday night.
1t is proposed to have Third street
closed from Broad to Jefferson, for
one hour on the mornings of the races
to avoid any possibility of accidents,
Broad street would be the starting
point and Broadway the finish and it
would be an ideal course.
The management of the show and
races are seeking to find some attrac-
ton to bring the people down town in
the mornings and entertain them,
and the auto races were suggested by
some automobile enthusiasts. Padu-
cab boasts some very fast cars and
the races would no doubt be as eX-
citing and diverting as any attrac-
ton at the races and the horse show.
All the auto owners who have been
interviewed have expressed a willing
ness to enter the races and the cards
would no doubt be full of entries.
More Entries.
The Horse Show association re-
ceived some entries from Clarksyille
today, from the owner OF fine string
Of horses, and every day adds to the
number of entries. Secretary Fendol
Burnett Is busy these days, and
is enthusiastic over the indications at
present. I'VE shall have the great
est bunch of horses ever assembled
in west Kentucky" he said today
land our other shows will pale into
insignificance in comparison
