DEMOCRATS STEAL MARCH

Special Dispatch to The Louisville

Frankfort, KY, May 1O-Statewide
prohibition will be the lever used
by Kentucky Democracy In an effort
to regain control of the State offices
In 1911, according to the statement
made here today by a prominent Dem
ocratic leader. This viii be one of the
most prominent planks in the Demo-
cratic platform of that year. and the
nominees, from Governor down, viii
be compelled to pledge themselves TO
abolish the sale of all intoxicants
within the State, according to present
plan.
II was stated on the same authority
that the recent shift In control OF the
Kentucky State Journal to former Gov.
Beckham marked the beginning OF the
crusade for support on platform call
ing for Statewide prohibition, and
that soon the editorial columns OF
that publication will be proclaiming
the cause of prohibition in heavy
black type and double-column head
lines.
Welded TO CAUSE.
Gov. Beckham for some years has
been a temperance apostle, and since
his defeat for the Senate 1t is said
that he has become more firmly weld
ed to the cause than before. He Will
be a candidate to succeed Sen. Payn-
ter, and expects to go to Washington
on a prohibition wave.
Closely allied to his temperance
ideals now are said to be Percy Haly,
Henry McChesney, ]. Morgan Chinn,
and other former State office holders,
and they have adopted the motto:
"You can't keep good man down
when they are calling for prohibition
from out in the woods"
It is realized that the lack of a
platform in 1907 cost the ticket thou
sands of votes. and they do not pro-
pose to try and win an election again
without one.
