Judge O'Rear, in his speech at
Elizabethtown, attempting to give
Senator Bradley a clean bill of
health over his election to the Sen
ate by a coalition of the republi-
cans and whiskey democrats, pre-
tends that Senator Bradley "bluf-
fed" the four whiskey democrats
into voting for him by sending
his friend Reno to advise them
that he would withdraw as the re-
publican caucus nominee and al
low Beckham to be elected.
On it's face that is about the
thinnest story that a republican
politician supposed to be of strong
mental calibre could have invent
ed. If Judge O'Rear believes it,
he needs guardian. If he ex-
poets anybody else in Kentucky
to believe it, his sanity should be
tested.
On top of the sheer Stiffness of
such lame excuse, McNutt, one
of the whiskey democrats of Lou
isville who voted for Bradley, de-
MES that the bluff" was tried on
him; and Lillard, the Boyle coun-
ty blind tiger operator who voted
for Bradley was rewarded for his
| treachery by being made Bradley's
private secretary, which office he
! now holds, has not the hardihood
to declare he ever heard of the
bluff"
The simple fact is, Judge O'Rear
got himself into a bad box by his
speech at the Louisville conven.
ton. His attempted explanation
at Elizabethtown only makes a
bad matter worse.

DRY Weather Has Stnnted Pigs.

One result of the long spell of
dry weather is stunted pig and
lamb crops. The latter have been
rushed to market by the hundred
thousand and sacrificed. A part
of the pig crop has met the same
fate, but the major portion of it is
running two months behind sched-
ule time and will be correspond
ingly late in showing up at market
centers.
Pigs need clover and that feed
has been scarce. Every report
filed by stock yard trade scouts con-
tans stereotyped paragraph rel
ative to stunted pigs.
A backward pig crop means be-
lated movement of the winter
supply and obviously gap. The
light August run demonstrates
that hogs were oversold earlier in
the summer. During May and
June neither growers nor their
stockyard advisers had faith in
price maintenance and from some
sources of packinghouse prophecy
forecasts emanated that may have
been compiled for the purpose OF
influencing provision speculation
out had the effect of stimulating
liquidation and creating a bar,
spot at the market later,
Successful forecasts of hos
market action are impossible, un
less the element of luck is reck
oned with, but these factors may
be taken into consideration in es
timating what the residue of thu
old crop and new production vii
be worth:
The season of 1911-12 will wit
ness a much shorter supply o
both beef and mutton than durins

The hog slaughtering industr!
is no longer controlled by the bis
