The Louisville Times says:

lie LOUISVILLE Times says
Ward Headly has just returned fron
trip through the Middle West, wher,
he has been speaking for the Demo
cratic National Committee, and has
this to say:
Il have travelled through several
States in the past two weeks, and
find everything 10 encourage and moth
ing to discourage us. Our party has
never been in better shape since the
days of Tilden, while the Republican
party is divided and wrangling among
party leoders is everywhere apparent.
In Wisconsin the La Toilette wing is
at the throat of the administration
leaders. In Illinois the Deueen and
Yates factions are bitterly denouncing
each other every day, and the election
of the Hon. Adlai L. Stevenson is gen.
orally conceded.
Il spent two days in Nebraska and
attended meetings in Lincoln. never
saw such enthusiasm. l also spoke
with Mr.. Monnett at Kansas City. The
enthusiasm was unbounded and intense.
The Taft meetings were large. but
lacking in enthusiasm. The people at
tended his meetings out Of curiosity
and left in disappointment. The meet
ing at Omaha commenced like a cy-
clone and ended like funeral.
; THE people everywhere resent the
interference OF the President in the
campaign. They say that If Mr.. Taft
is not big enough to take care of him
self he should resgn now and letTheo-
dore take his place and not wait until
1916 as Mrs. Alice Longworth suggests
Mr.. Taft swears that he can run the
office at least during the time the
President is in South Africa seeking
very congenial company.
"The Republicans are trying To get
away from the platform and the is
sues. The editor Of the Omaha Bee,
the publicity man Of the National Re-
publican Committee, has recently dis
cussed the tariff plank of this plat
form. He will npt likely repeat the
offense. SunnyJim lauds Speaker Can
non as the greatest lawmaker of Con-
gress Che might have said the only
lawmaker), while the leaders in Iowa
and Kansas denounce him bitterly as
a tyrant and blackguard.
"Hisgen, pronounced His'n to show
that he belongs to Hearst, is making
a sorry show. He is the ally of Re-
publican Campaign, except in New
York, where Hearst hates Hughes and
will help Chanler.
Mr. Taft is begging the working
men to forget his injunction record
yet it will not down. It has just been
discovered that the greatEnjoiner was
the first judge in the United States
to take the taxing power away from a
State. The case of Taylor VS.. Louis
VILE and Nashville Railroad, So FEEDER
al Reporter, page356, Mr.. Taft sustains
Injunction against Taxing Board of
Tennessee, and prevents them from as
sessing public service corporations be-
yond a maximum amount. This de-
cision is being cited by the railroads
in their efforts to prevent regulation
the states Government.
"The people are tired of govern
ment by injunction. They are opposed
to favoritism. They want to control
their own government. They are rest
less for election day. They intend TO
make w. ]. Bryan President of the
United States"
Mr.. Headly is elector for the State
at-large and will make several speech
es in Kentucky before the close of the
campaign.
