Temple last night. at which speechmak-
ing story telling and music were the fea-
lures Representatives John w. Langley

politically in their home state. as was

of Republican State Clubs; George Baber
and Middleton Smith.
Mr.. Walter stated in his address that
the PARTISAN feeling tina; .las played such
an important figure in the welfare OF
Kentucky for so long is giving away to a
general feeling of good will and cooper
| alton for the good of the state. He said
the turbulent days in certain sections OF
the commonwealth will soon be forgotten
and that it will not be long before the
band known as might riders" will be
wiped from the state. He spoke opti-
unsteady of Kentucky's future.
Mr.. Camp talked of the League of Re
pulican State Clubs, and emphasized the
Importance of organization and told of the
work accomplished by this organization
within the past four years and outlined
what it proposes to do in connection with
the coming presidential campaign.

LONDON, May 9.-The British socialist

when the king visited Cardiff. its lord
mayor was William Crossman. a work

when his term as mayor was over Sir
William resumed work as the labor rep

which contributed 80 of his salary of 30
shillings a week.
Apparently determined to get the most
ii can for the money out of its only titled
official. since the beginning of the year
the trades council withheld its contribu-
ton because Sir William refuses to preach
the doctrine of socialism on the street
corners and in the parks on Sunday
mornings and evenings. declaring that he
will not depart from his lifelong custom
of attending his own place of worship on
that day. The trades council yesterday
