KENTUCKY,S NEW SENATOR,
One Trait of Gov. bradley Exhibited 10 .
Former BOY Editor.

One Trait of Gov. Bradley Exhibited 10 .
Former boy Editor.
Twelve years ago when Senator-elect
William O'Connell Bradley Of Kentucky
was Governor Of that State a youth who
at rs was carrying the editorial burden Of
a weekly newspaper in a country town
in Illinois drifted into Frankfort on a BIZ
cycle trip. There wasn't much to see in
Frankfort except the State Capitol, so he
went up there.
IL was the young editors first inspection
OF a State Capitol and his eyes we're open
for everything. Naturally the sign 1Gov-
cnor's Office interested him and he
ouickly decided to call on the Governor.
he sent in his card and presently the door
keeper returned and said; The Governor
will see you
Then did the visitor really wish that
his curiosity about the Governors ofice
hadn't got the better Of him. II would
be maniiestly improper to intrude on the
Governors time without some motive, and
still the young editor couldn't think OF any
motive. On the way TO the inner ofioe
he decided TO take the Governor into his
confidence and confess that there wasn't
any cause for the visit except a small matter
Of editorial courtesy.
Prompted. no doubt, by that spirit that
has made him the head OF his party In the
state. and that enabled him 20 win his
fight for the Senate against apparently
overwhelming odds, Gov. Bradley talked
10 the boy journalist for an hour, speaking
most Interestingly on subjects that could
not fail 10 interest even a youth that didn't
have a news instinct.
The Governor described his early eI-
periences as a Republican in a Democratic
hotbed, when 10 go TO the polls and vote
he Republican ticket was only one form
Of committing suicide He told how at
one period Of his political activity II became
necessary for all the Republicans OF the
town i'm which he lived to fortify themselves
In a house and defend themselves against
Democratic raiders who we're thirstlng Tor
blood.
There we're W many Of these stories that
the'hour had passed before either the Gov
ernOr or his visitor knew II, and when the
boy editor finally excused himself ne carried
away a picture bearing the Governor
autograph.
When Gov. Bradley won his successful
fight before the Kentucky Legislature a
few weeks aTo the editor. who had been
reduced by lapse Of time TO just plain re-
portaT. remembered those stories OF the
early DAYS and wrote the Senator-elect
asking the privilege Of telling them TO

manhood.
His legs and body seem q mass Of mere
bone, shrunken until almost nothing is
left. His hands are long and bony and
themselves show great age, On one finger
OF his right hand he wore two tremendous
diamonds in one setting, He had no other
jewelry.
The face was as black a could be. II
was far more Ethiopian than the average
negro in the North. The profile was al
most triangular, one side beginning with
the low. sloplng forehead and ending at
the mouth, with its full lips concealing a
jungle Of disoolored teeth. The chin dropped
straight on and was large, receding In
folds Of loose, hanging skin to the neck.
A twisted mass Of sparse hair decorated
the huge and long upper lip, while a small
goatee appeared from the lower. He
wore gold spectacles which partially con-
cealed his eyes. The orbs were sunken
and that part which should be white was
disoolored to a sort Of brown, making 1t

versational ENHANCEMENT as well as to act
as a witness.
The others stood In a semioircle on to
the right Of the corner In which the Presi-
dent had his chair placed. Alexis showed
no hesitancy in answering all questions.
He understood what was wanted, and
being anxious to have the Northern papers
say the proper thing he tried to put his
side OF the situation forward,
When the interview was at an end a
round Of champagne was served. The
President himself merely tasted a concoc-
ton OF cola, which he had some difficulty in
getting to his lips, his hand trembled so.
Alexis is in touch with everything in the
Government. Nothing can be done with
out his consent. A newspaper man re-.

buttons, two on each side.
The coat was open showing a waistooat
which reached clear up to the white linen

After considering the invitation for some

President Alexis on a Sunday morning
granted an interview TO the correspondent
OF THE Sun. The audience was given in
a reception room Of the Presidential resi-
dence.
This executive mansion lies in the south
ern part Of the city. 1t is built Of brick
and wood, two stories in height, and strange
70 say Is painted a slate color, with a dark
and modest roof. The building itself Is
surrounded by a compound enclosed in
an iron fence, with another surrounding
that, giving two lines Of protection.
On the east and north Of the executive
reservation lies the vast Champ de Mars,
In the centre OF which is a huge statue
OF Dessalines, who exterminated the whites
in 1903. The Champ de Mars is like unto
nothing else than a bit Of pasture land
where a flock Of sheep and many goats
are constantly grazing, There are no
drives or roadways; the native carriages
drive anywhere in the reservation, and
thus a network Of roads, or trails, has
marred impossibly' what could easily be
made an attractive spot.
On this Sunday morning there wal a
review Of soldiers within the palace grounds.
This the foreigners did not zee possibly
because the soldiers were not in good form.
or possibly because no n thought about
extending them an invitation.

assistance of the janitor. The sculptor
rang the ell for that dusky person,
and after repeated summons receiving

man of all work pumping away for
