THE NOTIFICATION.

Lincoln is extremely happy be-
cause the formal notification of
her foremost citizen that he has
been chosen as the Democratic
standard-bearer will take place in
his home town. Some members
believed there would be great
political advantage in having the
notification take place in New
York. Mr.. Bryan's wish is to
have the scene laid in his home
city. The date was set for August
II. AS this is a good two weeks
after the date appointed for a sim
liar function at Cincinnati for Mr..
Taft, Mr.. Bryan will have ample
opportunity to prepare an answer
to any statements the Republican
nominee may make. The official
notification of the vice presidential
nominee, Mr.. Kern, will take
place at Indianapolis.

FIGHT AGAINST ERNST.
Republicans From His Own Dis
triCt After Him.
VIM Will Be Chairman of Cam
paign Committee.

The defeat Of Richard p. Ernst
for National Committeeman from
Kentucky at the National Repub-
lican Convention was seemingly
the beginning of the end of him as
a potent factor in State politics.
The war against him was again re-
newed in the meeting of the Re-
publican State Central Committee
last week in Louisville. The move
was made by III. w. Reusch, of
Campbell county, and j. T. Earle,
of KentOn county, who petitioned
the State Central Committee to set
aside the County Committees Sc
lected by the rival factions in the
two counties on April 25.
Mr.. Ernst was greatly angered
when the resolution was presented
to the committee.
TO KEEP AFTER ERNST's SCALP.
r. H. w. Reusch is member of
the Board of Aldermen of New
port and j. L. Earle is Mayor of
Latonia, and are recognized as the
leaders of the faction in Kenton
and Campbell counties opposed to
the Ernst faction. They said they
were going after Mr.. Ernst's scalp
as State Central Committeeman.
They claim they were treated un-
fairly at the State Convention, be-
ing run over by the Committee on
Credentials.
THINK COMMITTEE ANTI-ERNsT.
They think that the steam roller
process at Chicago has made the
State Central Committee anti
Ernst, and they hope to have the
committee unseat Ernst.
The selection of a campaign COM
mittee for the presidential election
was another snag struck.
A subcommittee to select a cam
paign committee agreed to recon-
mend Robert H. VIM as chair
man.
