Democratic Platforms Are
Regulated by ReaCtionaries

In al the checkered history Of
Kentucky there was never q
more peculiar performance than
that of the Kentucky State Exc
cutive Committee at its meeting
in Louisville Thursday.
At one moment it voted for
primary for the selection Of
State ticket. on the ground that
this was the best and fairest
means Of getting the wishes Of
the people.
The very next moment, it
voted down a proposal to secure
the choice Of the peopie for
United States Senator in Q SINH
lar manner.
BY voting down the latter
proposition, the democratic party
of Kentucky splits upon the Plat
forms OF the party. turns its
back upon the solemn promises,
pledges and protestations of the
organization in three different
national conventions. and stamps
itself as thoroughly reactionary.
If there is one thing more than
another to which the Democracy
stands pledged by it's platforms
and the speeches Of its leaders
it is the popular election of Sen
ators. Carrying out this princi-
pie, it would be the logical thing
! for the party to determine its
| senatorial nominee by party vote.
! 1t is significant and educational
to observe that the only ones
who favored the senatorial prim-
airy were the friends Of Con-
gresham Ollie James, while the
ones who opposed it were the
friends ex-senator T. H. Paynter,
former Governor J. c. W. Beck
nam, Harry Weissinger and J.
G. Mayo.
Ollie James had the courage TO
come out in the open and demand
that the party stand by it's plat
forms. None of his opponents
had the courage to come out and
advocate the reverse policy.
The inner meaning of the COM
mittee's action was elucidated
b. the remark in Z reactionary
Democratic paper that if there
had been a popular primary nc
one but James would have had 8
chance.
While we are on the subject,
let us look at the men who are
out in the open for Senator.

the First Kentucky District, whc
fought for a primary, has fol
