The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1908-04-29

The Republican convention,
last Saturday, was one of much
interest, bringing together a
large number of the most repre-
sentative Republicans of the
county and a good number of
Democrats who desired to see the
fun go on. 1t was a sweeping
victory for Fairbanks, a black
eye for the Pesident and a dead
er for Secretary Taft's ambition.
When Republicans refuse to in
dorse the administration of their
greatest statesman, when they
openly assert that their leading
candidate is not made to meet
the requirements Of their party
nor to administer to the necessi-
ties of the country when they
openly assert that he can not car
ry the vote Of the labor organi-
cations or the negroes Of the
country; then why should Dem.
ocrats fear the result next Fall !.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1908-04-29

Such was the case here last Sat-
urday by large majority. The
report Of their convention is CIV
en- in another article, and the Re-
publicans who read The News
and who feel an interest in the
proceedings, can get fair idea
of what happened. If Republi-
can doctrine and policies have
brought about the present bad
business conditions, why should
any man who thus believes want
to continue Republicans in pow
er ? The Fairbanks people, who
refused to indorse the admins
tration of President Roosevelt,
and who knows that Secretary
Taft is the Presidents choice
pledged to carry on the same
policies, certainly can not insist
on the people to support man
whose election would be detri-
mental to the public good.

litical gatherings, came to the
rescue of Judge Jones position,
but the Judges argument falld
to change the minds of those who
opposed the measure, and it was
defeated by an overwhelming
vote, only ten or fifteen standing
for it's adoption. At this juno
ture, Judge Jones offered a reso-
luton instructing the delegates
to vote for VIM. H. Taft for
President and substituting the
name of F. P. Combest, of Casey
county, as delegate for that of
w. T. Davis, of Bell county.
This was opposed by Mr.. j. S.
Stapp, who warmed up under his
denunciation of Mr.. Combest. A
vote was taken and the resolu-
ton buried under a heavy major
ity. Judge Jones then offered
resolution changing clause in
the committees report that real
ly censured the President and
his administration. This second
ed by Judge Baker. Like the
foregoing, it was put to sleep by
heavy majority. The report OF
the committee was then voted on
and went through with a whoop.
The resolution which failed to
indorse the President was as fol
lows: First, That we believe in
the great principals of the Re
publican party. We are proud of
it's traditions and it's history,
every page of which is a record
of prosperity and of freedom.
We call attention to the fact that
for nearly half a century the Re-
publican party has controlled the
destinies of our nation, and with
the exception of a few years of
Democratic rule, we have pros
pered until we have become the
wonder of the world"
1t instructed for Fairbanks for
President /; Messrs. w. A. Coffey,
this county, and w. T, Davis, of
Bell county, for delegates to the
National convention from the
Eleventh district. The delegates
to the State convention are In
structed to vote for Senator w.
O. Bradley, Gov. A. E. Wilson,
Hon. John w. Yerkes and Mr..
Barney, Of color, for delegates
at-large.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1908-04-29

Mr.. w. A. Coffey, candidate to
represent his party from the
Eleventh district in the National
Republican Convention, can not
yet tell whether or not he has
won as there are several contest
ed delegations. One thing, how
ever is certain, he made a game
fight, neither giving nor asking
quarter from any one. He out
lined his policy in the beginning,
published it broadcast over the
district and he and his many
friends stood true to his position.
In the convention here last Sat-
urday, no compromise could be
made, it was straight fight and
the victory won is evidence of
the loyalty of his friends. 1t is not
in keeping with our faith to en-
dorse his position or to applaud
the means by which the results
were accomplished, but being a
friend, WIDELY disinterested as
to whom the Republicans should
select as their nominee in the
Chicago Convention, we truly
hoped that he would win in the
district. He is amply able to be
a useful man in that capacity and
never hoists the white flag when
contending for what he bellows
to be right. The resolutions for
which he contended were
what he believed the real, true
doctrines of his party, and not
the pandering sentiment Of bow
ing to the headlights of shifting
policies.

WE'D, APRIL 20, 1908.
FOR FAIRBANKS.-=AGAINST THE
ADMINISTRATION.

The Republican Convention
held in the courthouse last Sat
urday was we'll attended by many
of the best men of that political
persuasion from nearly every Sec
ton of the county. Mr.. ]. S.
Stapp was elected Chairman and
welded the gavel in his own
good way and to the pleasure of
all the active participants. Be
fore reaching the real conven-
tional business, Hon. G. L. Per-
ryman entertained, through the
channels of oratory, in a ten
minutes speech, giving an account
of his time spent as Representa-
tive of Adair and Cumberland
counties in the last Legislature.
Senator Nell also addressed the
audience, giving an account of
his stewardship, referring to the
measures that became la W S
through his leadership. Hon M.
Rey Yarberry spoke in an advis-
Dry capacity, asking the conven-
ton to keep within the limits of
reasonable action, to not take an
extreme position. After the
speeches closed the committee on
resolutions reported and then the
battle royal began. Mr.. Hiram
J. Conover read the resolutions
presented by the committee
which failed to meet the approx
al of several, as it did not indorse
the administration of President
Roosevelt. Judge w. w. Jones
then offered the following as an
amendment to the report:
Resolved, That we indorse
the administration Of President
Roosevelt as being able, wise and
conservative and commend it's eff
fects to the consideration of the
country"
Judge Jones made an appeal to
the convention for the adoption
of the amendment, giving his
reasons why it should be done.
Mr.. w. A. Coffey then came te
the front in one of his best efforts
to show why the amendment
should be defeated and why the
National Administration shoulc
be ignored in the declaration Of
the convention.
