Evening Post Interested in State
Candidates and Herald
For Local.
Senator Bradley Will Probably
Drop Out of the State
Campaign.
LOOKS EASY FOR LOCAL TICKET

The Kentucky State campaign fol
the State offices is warming up con.
siderably and the Democratic Cam.
paign Committee is much pleased
over the outlook, while on the Other
hand the Republicans are very
gloomy concerning their prospects
and day by day are offering excuses
for Judge O'Rear's speeches, that
gentleman being guilty of putting his
foot in it every time he opens his
mouth.
The Democratic organization this
year is one of the best ever had, good
men in every town volunteering their
services, with the result that splen-
did precinct organization will be
established all over Kentucky. The
Republican papers can not even get
together on their campaign stories,
as for instance the Louisville Herald
stated that only handful of people
heard Gov. McCreary's opening ad-
dress at Bowling Green, while the
Evening Post conceded that there
was crowd of 5000. Then, again,
the Post takes a dig at Senator
Bradley every now and then, being
for .O'Rear first, last and all the
time, while the Herald is very strong
for Senator Bradley and will not
take it very hard If O'Rear is de-
feated, knowing that the Post would
get all the plums under an O'Rear
administration.
AS we predicted before, watch for
the clash next week when the O'Rear
people attempt to sidetrack Robert L..
Harris for the nomination for the
Legislature in the Eighth and Ninth
wards. O'Rear has pledged himself
to beat Harris, and IL he does SEN
ator Bradley will surely eliminate
himself from the Republican cam
paign and will not even make the
two short speeches he promised. The
Post does not want the local Repub-
licans to make nominations for the
municipal offices because the old
line Republicans are in the saddle,
one of them stating to a representa-
tive of the Kentucky Irish American
that the Post could go to very warm
place as far as they were concerned,
and that they did not intend to take
any advice from the Post in any mat
ter whatever, and say that the cause
of their downfall in the past has
been listening too much to the Post
and its Fusion allies, who have been
grabbing all the offices in sight with
most of them going to renegade
Democrats.
In this the Fifth district the
Democrats are more than pleased
with their prospects, Mayor Heads
splendid administration being a big
factor in contributing to this situa-
tion, and the members of the GEN
eral Council will be indorsed with a
denomination. The caliber of the
men announcing for the Legislature
is very pleasing to the campaign
managers here, and is sure to add
strength to the ticket, among them
being Charles Knight from the First
ward, Henry Wallingford, Peter
Goebel and Adam SPAIN from the
Second and Third wards, lie Roy
Curtis and Sherley Cuniffe from the
Fourth and Fifth wards, Peter Lee
Atherton from the Sixth and Seventh
waros. William A. Perry from the
Eighth and Ninth wards, William
McNally from the Tenth ward and
Sam L. Robertson and DR.. P. Trun-
mel from the Twelfth ward. And as
headliner for the local ticket
James Quarles for the Chancery
Court is all that could be desired.
