SENATOR BRADLEY AND THE PAT
RoNaGE MACHINE.

Governor Bradley, who was the
first Republican Governor to be
elected in Kentucky, who has just
been elected United States Senator,
says:
SNOW, the Republican Federal
oficeholders Of the State, with few
exceptions, are banded, organized
and earnestly laboring to capture all
Of the conventions. Should they sue.
coed they will lead the party to an
other defeat. I sincerely hope that
the Republicans of Kentucky will
rebuke these selfconstituted masters
and see to it that the boys in the
trenches and the people who consti-
tute the brain and sinews of the
party, 60 to the various county con.
ventiohs, assert their independence
and forever break the yoke of official
control. Each and every Republican
is entitled to elect his candidate for
president without dictation or fear
from any source, high or low"
The same is true Of North Caro-
lima and every Southern State. So
long as the party is led by patron
age machine they will lead it to de-
feat, if they can, because they do
not want to carry the State.
They are not only incompetent to
lead to victory, but besides they do
not want victory. When we did
carry North Carolina the patronage
machine was out of business. The
people must overthrow the patron.
age machine before thore is another
victory.
