Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1911-10-21

Praise For Chairman McGrath
For His Conduct of This
Campaign.
Good Sense OF the Voters Will
Not Permit O'Rcar's
Election.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY ASSURED


by the Kentucky Irish American, the
Republican party has declined to pre-
sent local ticket to be voted for at
the coming election. This is prima
facie evidence that the Republicans
are split into factions and that Judge
O'Rear will be beaten by at least
5000 votes in this city. There are
many good Republicans in Louisville,
but they can not stand for the man
who fails to perform his duties as
Judge of the Court of Appeals. The
present city administration is COM
posed of good men, whose official
record meets the approval of all
classes. 1t is also a significant fact
that certain elements of the Republi-
can party made every effort to have
ticket nominated, but the men they
would name were not fit and those
who were would have nothing to do
with them.
On the other hand the Democrats
are enthusiastic and waging an active
campaign. Large and enthusiastic
meetings are being held and attend
ed by taxpayers and citizens who are
taking greater interest than ever be-
fore. Hundreds of men at these
meetings are pledging their support
to James Quarles, nominee for Cir
cult Judge. In nominating Judge
Quarles the Democrats named a
lawyer who is in every way qualified
for the responsible position, a man
whose record was such as would be
more of a non-partisan than any
other aspirant for the place.
The outlook in Louisville grows
brighter every day, as every candl-
date is working to bring out a full
vote. The result is being watched
outside the State, and the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer is one
of many expressions of like char
acter:
Louisville Democrats are giving
much praise to Frank McGrath,
Chairman OF the Democratic City and
County Executive Committee, for the
admirable manner in which the cam
paign has been conducted in Louis
vile. Mr.. McGrath made all the
arrangements for the big rally which
was held here last Tuesday night and
which was addressed by Representa-
tives Underwood and Sherley. The
meeting was largely attended and was
made up of many of the city's most
prominent and substantial citizens.
On the platform as Vice Presidents
We're number of Democrats who
have not participated actively in
politics for ten or fifteen years. TIE
enthusiasm with which the Demo-
Gratis here are working and the par
tlcipation in the work by Democrats
who for number of years have been
lukewarm, speaks we'll, so local
Democrats say, for the splendid man
agement of party affairs and for the
harmony and unity of action which
characterizes the entire Democratic
organization in this district"
The good sense of the voters OF
Kentucky will not permit a politician
of Judge O'Rear's small caliber to
represent them as Governor of this
State. 1t is easy for him to imagine
he is statesman, but he will find it
a difficult problem to convince the
voters that he has any title to be
called suoh. People everywhere are
now questioning his sincerity, as the
Judge is shifting his attitude upon
questions of public interest almost
daily. This is not the case with
McCreary, McDermott or any OF the
Democratic nominees, who are frank
and open and always consistent be-
fore the masses who hear them.
While the candidates for the GEN.
eral Council have a walk-over, they
will not cease in their endeavors to
make this the greatest Democratic
victory that has occurred for many
years past.
