sETaIsUTroH IN HISTORY.

There L. retribution in history,
including political history. In Ken
lucky for several years the Goebel
election methods were stuffed down
the threats Of the voters Of that
State. There were false registra-
tions, the ballot boxes were stuffed,
and any and all kinds Of methods
were resorted to that would make
the GoebeI brand Of Democracy su-
preme in that State. This plan
worked well for awhile, but the
more self-respecting Democrats be-
came tired of such methods, and in
the last election Col. Henry Wat
terson and many other Democrats
would not support the ticket. Pub
lie conscience was awakened to a
great extent, and even though the
GoebelItes resorted to unfair means
In many instances, the Republicans
carried the State. That is they
elected their candidate for Governor
and claim they will have majority
In both houses of the legislature,
which will mean the election Of q
Republican to the United States
Senate, also.
Friends of Gov. Beckham, the
Democratic incumbent, blames Col.

Courier. Jourier, with the defeat OF
the Democratic ticket by his non.

Democratic politics in Kentucky
The following is a portion of Col
Watterson's reply:

should answer: THE One-mar
power The one-man power estab
lished by William Goebel descended

in the hands Of an ambitious, un
sparing organizer, sacrificing every.
body and everything-the ethics
and practice of just government
alone with the principles of democ
racy-to the single purpose of build
ing self-perpetuating machine"
The Simmons machine in thi:
State copied its election Law
after the Goebel election law Of
Kentucky and put into practice
many of the election methods USED
in Kentucky, only in many in
stances the Goebel methods were
improved upon. This, with the
false cry of negro domination, pu
the democratic pie hunters in this
State at the feed trough. They have
tiourished for a season, but public
conscience in this State is awaken

FEDERAL oFFIcE-HoLDERs AND PA.
TRIoTIc DUTY.

IkIOIIC UUIf.
It will be generally conceded that
the people have no confidence in
State Chairman Adams. It will also
be generally conceded that if he were
not supported by the Federal Office
holders he would not have a cor
poral guards support in the next
State Convention. Now if this is
30, then is it not the duty of the
Federal officeholders to stand back
and let the people select a State
Chairman who will lead the party
toward victory? Is it not their pa
triotic duty to their party? In
short, is it not the patriotic duty of
every citizen, whether he is an office
holder or not, to help elect, for State
Chairman, man who not only
wants his party to grow, bat who
also has enough character and Ca
pacity to make him fit to lead.
Judge Furches has described the
kind of State Chairman needed to
lead the party to victory. And THE
CAUCASIAN knows of no better man
to lead than Judge Furches himself,
if he will consent to serve his party.
The people have the greatest con-
fdence in him. His high character
and ability would induce thousands
Of recruits to come to the party. He
would not use the Federal patronage
to build up personal machine, but
would use it for the good of the
party. In short, If Judge Furches
were State Chairman the party
would command respect from every
body and its growth would be rapid.
