NEW PARTY LAW SUGGESTED
louisville Post.)

MIR. Robert Ii. Winn, chairman of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee, today issued a call for meet
ing of that committee for February
is in this city. At this meeting the
plan put forward by Mr.. w. o. Brad
ley to wipe out the Republican COM
mittees in the cities of Louisville,
Lexington, Newport, Covington.
Owensboro. Henderson and Paducah
will be considered.
Mr.. VIM has no option but to call
a meeting of the committee and, in
fact, most Republicans of all factions
are anxious to have the Bradley pro-
position brought up and decided. In
his letter asking for meeting of the
State Central Committee Mr.. Bradley
asked that the meeting be held be-
fore February 10.
REPUBLICANS ARE INTERESTED
The revolutionary proposition OF
Mr.. Bradley to abolish the regular Re
publican committees elected by the
people, and substitute for them in all
matters relative, to the making Of
nominations Convention Commits
sions" named by the State Central
Committee In imitation of the Goebel
law. has aroused the Republicans of
Kentucky as nothing since the pass
age of the Goebel law has done. From
the First to the Eleventh district this
plan, the adoption of which II is gen
orally accepted would mean the des-
truction of the Republican party In
Kentucky, has been the chief topic
of conversation among Republican
politicians and the opposition to the
plan is overwhelming. While moth
ing can be stated on authority as TO
the attitude of the thirteen members
OF the State Central Committee I'M
til they arrive in this city, 1t is be-
lieved by the large majority OF we'll
informed Republicans that the Brad
ley rules will be rejected by a decisive
majority and that Mr.. Bradley will be
given a rebuke even more severe than
when he was defeated for delegate TO
Chicago by the last Republican con-
vention.
DETAILS OF BRADLEY PLAN.
The plan proposed by Mr.. Bradley
for Kentucky Republicans has already
been explained in the Evening Post.
In brief, 1t is as follows.
In all counties containing cities of
the first and second class. Mr.. Brad
ley proposes to create Convention
Commissions" to be composed of
three men to be named by the State
Central Committee, and to be appoint
ed annually just as under the Goebel
law. The plan follows the lines of the
Goebel law closely. These convention
Commissions are to be given entire
charge OF the making of Republican
nominations in all the cities Of the
State, and are delegated power TO
name the election officers. canvass tn
returns and virtually to make nomi-
nations. The regular local Republican
committees in these counties are to
be superseded. The whole plan Is a
copy of the Goebel law and Is design
ed to destroy local authority and local
responsibility in the making of Re
publican nominations, and to build up
an oligarchy with a faction OF the
State Central Committee debating all
Republican nominations regardless of
the wishes OF the Republican voters
in the separate districts.

exist at all. He repeats his request
to be allowed to investigate freely
the books and affairs of all big COM
panies so that he can formulate ideas
as to what constitutes bad trust
and what makes trust good" As
usual his appeal falls on stony ears.
Congress believes that it knows more
about any given thing than any ex-
pert student thereof, or anybody else
IL thinks that it's all foolishness for
the President to have a Department
Of Commerce and Labor. and does
not propose to spend time or money
to help anyone else do the work
which 1t is neglecting.
PURE FOOD FIGHT.
One of the most popular men in
Washington is DR.. Harvey Wiley,
Government Chemist, who has been
exposing the use of harmful ingredi-
ents in canned goods, WHISTLES, and
so forth for several years. His last
decision was that benzoate of soda
is hurtful, and ought not to be used
to preserve canned fruits. This de-
cision has been naturally opposed by
the canning factories, and President
Roosevelt appointed court of ap-
peals consisting of several leading
college professors of Chemistry, who
have Just declared that benzoate Ct
soda Is not harmful, and that DR..
Wiley was wrong In preventing the
Gamers from using 1t. Congress be-
friends Wiley, and will not appropri-
ate money for this board of appeals.
The Pure Food Law is generally sup
posed to be unconstitutional, anyway
and there may be an interesting
scrap coming. 1t is safe to say that
DIR. Wiley ought to hold his place,
and probably will do so.
TO MAKE TRAVEL SAFER.
A bill to compel passenger steam
ers to carry wireless telegraphy APP
paratus, so as to save vessels when
in distress, has been introduced by
Burke of Pennsylvania, and will pass.
The Navy is this year to build a
tower six hundred feet high for q
wireless telegraph station in Wash
ington, which station will be able
to talk with American war vessels
anywhere on the North Atlantic
Ocean and perhaps with foreign
lands.
The bill for separate statehood for
New Mexico and Arizonia has just
beeen reported favorably. and will
soon pass. Both states will be Rep
ublican. Between them they will
have three Representatives and four
Senators. The plan for a new
government at Panama has been
buried in committee until Taft comes
into power, since his knowledge OF
the situation on the lsthmus must
be deferred to. Secretary of the
Navy Newberry went before the Sen
ate Naval Committee last Thursday
and told them his plans for reform
ing the Navy. They were very favor
able, and will support his plan of a
naval board to be composed OF Burea
Heads, instead of Roosevelt's plan
for a board of men who have no ae-
tual touch with the work of the De-
partment.
Mr.. VIM. Loeb is said to be slated
for the position of Collector OF the
Port at New York under TAFT. This
place carries a $4,000 salary, and is
one of the latest" jobs in poliu-
cal life.

Cooper might have had recourse to the courts but what good would a judgment of $25,0oo be against man not worth plug of tobacco" he said. Meeks declared that Carmack had abused the liberty of the press to take away the char acters of private citizens until he made it an engine of oppression. He said he would not accuse Miss Lee, who said Governor Patterson did not call Cooper to the mansion, of lying, but said she was mistaken. He de- clared the uncontested facts showed that Carmack fired first and that the Coopers were forced to fire to s1e their lives.
