POLITICAL NOTES

Senator Bradley reminded his
hearers in his Ashland speech that
four years ago the Republican party
adopted a plank in its platform de-
manding the extension Of the County
Unit law, just as it has this year.
He seemed proud of the fact that
these pledges to the temperance peo-
pie had become Republican doctrine,
and stated that the only reason the
county unit" had not been extend
ed, was that the Republican party
did not have control of the Legis-
lature.
It would be mild word to accuse
the distinguished Senator Of insin-
cerity in this matter. There is a
harsher term, and the reader may
supply it himself when we furnish
him the facts. The Legislature that
elected Bradley to the Senate was
not Republican. it is true, but there
were enough Republicans in the
Senate to have carried out the pied
gees of the party, if Bradley had
been honestly for the County Unit"
Although Senator Bradley threat.

who charges him with corruptly Sc.
curing his election to the Senate. it
is true. nevertheless, that corrupt
lobby" secured enough votes to
bring about his election, and wheth-
er the Senator knew about their
manipulations or not. is a matter
for his conscience. The public gen
orally, reserves the right to its own
opinion. By the way, this is the
srme corrupt Lobby" which Judge
O'Rear is now denouncing on every
stump in the State, while assuring
Bradley that his title 70 the Senate
is without flaw or stain"

charged that the purpose of his pres
ence was to carry out bargain and

The organization is the best that
has been made in Kentucky in many
years. 1t not only comprises old and
new Leaders, but goes into every
precinct and enlists the support of
the rank and file, which after all, de-
termines whether victory or defeat
shall be the portion of any party.
Every man who has attended the
Democratic meetings, bears testi-
mony to the accuracy of Chairman
Vansant's prediction. The great
crowds, the unbridled enthusiasm.
and the hearty welcome given DEM
ocratic candidates and speakers re-
call the old days in Kentucky. when
the State went forty thousand Dem
ocratic without an effort,
1t only remains for the Democrats
to 90 to the polls to place Kentucky
where it belongs, back in the list of
Democratic States, never again to
stray away from the old faith and the
old traditions.

Gov. MCCreary An Aggressive
Leader.

Judge O'Rear believes that his
fifty years equip him particularly
for the position of Chief Executive
of Kentucky. He modestly says that
he is just young enough. and just
old enough, and that his mind is so
admirably poised and his judgment
so perfected that he will be able to
give the people an ideal administrat-
ion.
Senator McCreary has had all the
fifty years experience that Judge o.
Rear has had, and more on top of
that as true and tried public serv-
ant. associated with the great men
of the county, and holding his own
in any company in point of ability
and integrity. He is old enough to
be in touch with the progressive
thought of the day. He knows the
needs of this State as no other man
knows them. and as he has no reveng-
es to pay, no ambitions to satisfy.
and no selfish interests to serve, he
will be in a position to give to his
duties the unselfish labors of his
heart and brain.
Governor McCreary has not missed
an appointment in this Campaign.
He has worn out over young men
who attempted to follow him. He
travels at night by preference. and
morning finds him alert and sggres-
sive, ready and eager to fight the
battles Of his party.
He has met every issue raised by
the Republican party property, and
with courage, and has shown an
ability to take care of himself that
has won the admiration of friend and
foe alike. He has taken the lead in
the spirited Campaign that is being
conducted throughout the State. and
wherever he has gone. he has been a
vigorous example to his fellow con
didates. and has inspired his hearers
with the conviction that there is no
way to defeat him.
While Judge O'Rear is pinning
bouquets on himself because of his
youth, Governor McCreary is reap.
ing the reward that comes to one
who has lived a blameless life, and
who has won the affection eff the
whole people.

a man who has been temporarily
engaged in business in Rock Island de-
parted this week with a poor opinion
of the standard of honesty prevailing
here. A few days ago he inserted an
advertisement in local newspaper for
solicitors. There were two responses,
and neither candidate was hired. The
first one managed, while nobody was
looking. to conceal an automobile tire
blowout patch worth 81 in his coat
and get away with it. The second con-
trived. under the very nose of the pro-
prietor, to make off with a pair of
