The Race For Governor.

trouble our often expressed determine
ton not to take active partizan part
between candidates for democratic
nominations, or do we intend now to do
so but there being so many peculiar
situations developed and so many ex-
traordinary things done, we feel that
our readers are entitled to know what
is going on.
The race for the nomination is now
between VIM. Adams, of Harrison
county; Ben Johnson, of Nelson county;
w. o. Head, of Louisville; John X.
Hendrick, of McCracken, and ex-Gov-
ernor McCreary, OF Madison county, and
was proceeding in most satisfactory
manner until the Veteran McCreary
came into the race as compromise
candidate, but instead of bringing
peace he has raised q row.
Coming as the special entry of ex-
Governor Beckham, Mr.. McCreary's
entry has brought forth the following
statement, which we publish to show
our readers what is thought of his
candidacy:
Ex-senator McCreary has announc-
ed his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Kentucky,
notwithstanding the fact that only a
few weeks ago he said he would go no
further than accept the nomination if it
were given to him. He based this at
titude upon the ground that forty years
in Office was enough to ask of the par
Il y. More than this, when he was de-
feated for re nomination as United
States Senator by Beckham-w he
himself realized that his political SER
vice was at an end in the ranks of the
Democratic party, he bolted and tried
to be elected United States Senator
over Beckham, who had defeated him
for the nomination.
Everybody in Kentucky remembers
how two years ago, McCreary sought
10 be nominated in the primary; and
everybody remembers how he remain
ed a candidate before the Legislature,
and how many times he got boiling
Democrats to vote for him upon ballots
when the votes gotten by him would
have elected Beckham; and everybody
remembers that McCreary continued
to run, coupled with Bradley, until
Beckham was defeated; and everybody
remembers that ina speech made by
Beckham at banquet at Frankfort,
just after his defeat, that he lBeckham)
said.
"My opponent (McCreary) in the
primary bottled my nomination and aid
cd in my defeat iks
This speech was made on March H.,
1908. @
Besides this, everybody remembers
that Beckham charged in many speech
es he made in the campaign between
him and McCreary, that McCreary was
the candidate of the whisky ring. Now
comes Beckham and Percy Haley to
urge McCreary's nomination for Gov
ernor. Is this because boiling the
Democratic ticket is less offensive to
them since they themselves have be-
come "bolters"l
Let us not, in passing, fail to remark
upon another Beckham change of front
in his opinions as conditions changed.
He and the lamented Goebel went into
Office as the result of popular uprising
against the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Company. Beckham went so far
as to lay at the door of that company a
large part of the damning conspiracy
by which Goebel was assassinated. Let
us, not forget that Beckham went into
Office under those conditions. and that
be came out of Office. and Is now the
