PROMISE WARM CONTEST
IN SEVENTH DISTRICT

Greenville, KY, Oct. 2.Arhe
political pot in the Seventh Senator
ial district, which is composed OF
the counties Of Muhlenberg, Butler
and Ohio, has begun to boil indus
triously. The Democratic nominee
is Robert Hardison, Jr., of Green
Vile, and the Republican nominee is
Commodore Holman, of Morgan
town. 1t has recently develop
ed that there is great dissatisfaction
among the Republicans of the entire
district over Holman's nomination.
And especially is this true in his
home county, where it is said,
his Republican brethren are desert
ing him. . 70
Mr.. Harrison will open his cam
paign at Morgantown, October 2,
and will then devote all his time to
a canvass of the entire district.
Strong candidates for the Legis-
lature have been nominated in Ohio
and Muhlenberg, and it is claimed
both counties will show Democratic
majorities. That Butler county will
barely remain in the Republican col
umn, and may even give a majority
against Holman, is also claimed by
the leaders in that county. i..g

Resolution.

The greensboro Messenger of Sun
day SAYS:
Probably one of the most import
ant actions by any tobacco pooling
organization in this section of the
State since the organization of the
pools was taken by the poolers OF
the Home Warehouse Company and
the American Society Of Equity of
the Green River District, yesterday,
at their meeting at the court house.
The poolers passed a resolution, af-
ter selecting delegates to the dis
trict convention to be held in Ow-
ensboro, October 8, to demand that
the prices received for their pooled
tobacco last year be raised one dol
lar on each class. The two associa-
lions sold their tobacco for SO, IS
and SO last year.
According to reports received by
the officers yesterday afternoon, the
other meetings throughout the dis
trict were we'll attended. The meet
ing was presided over by Price
Baird, president of the Home Ware
house Company, with C. Smith act
ing as secretary. The following
delegates to the district convention
were selected: r. C. Cashem, ]. F.

The Hartford Republican says:
Before Judge O'Rear became
a candidate for Governor, the
Democratic newspapers and
members of the bar all over
the State pronounced him one
of the greatest and purest jur-
lists the State has ever pro-
duced. Now that he has be-
come a candidate for Governor
and has been nominated by the
Republican party, many of
these same papers are denounc-
ing him as dishonest and insin-
cere. Why this change? Has
the Judge changed or is II be-
cause he is standing in the way
of the political aspirations OF
someone?

The Hartford Republican in a
recent issue said:
Mr.. McCreary says that the
Republican party in Kentucky
is a party OF assassination, and
that It. as a party. procured the
x assassination Of Mr.. Goebel.
The Herald reproduced this bold
and plainly untrue assertion last
week and challenged the Republic
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1911-10-04

The Republican papers of the
State-notably the one published
at Hartford-have been decrying
the Goebel assassination matter, de-
claring it is an old subject and that
it has no place in the discussions of
to-day. And yet the Hartford sheet,
in a recent issue, in order to in
fame the minds of the voters, re-
wives this subject and quotes Gov.
McCreary as saying that the Repub-
lican party in Kentucky 'is a party
of assassination, and that it, as a
party, procured the assassination of
Mr.. Goebel." When called upon
for proof of this assertion, the Hart
ford Republican is silent. Now who
is keeping the Goebel assassination
matter alive and who has prevari-
Gated in the premises?
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1911-10-04

The more the Republican papers
try to explain that "McCulloch Let
ter" the worse they make 1t for
their political Saint Edward, who
started out as the very embodi-
ment of every temperance and pro-
hibition obligation and was later
proven by this letter to be in league
with that element of his party who
are seeking to engage the liquor in
terests in behalf OF Judge O'Rear.
The letter explains itself. No fur
Their explanation can rob it of what
II really means. Nor will any Re
publican paper dare print 1t.
Il has perhaps been noticed that
the anonymous writer in the Hart
ford Republican who undertakes to
reply to the article of Fair Play
in The Herald, in which the latter
merely defended the honorable rec
ord of Gov. James B. McCreary,
does not attempt to deny anything
which Fair Play" said. Nobody
has denied nor few have disputed
Mr.. c. E. Woods temperance and
prohibition ideas, but when he sub
verted these to personal and I'M
provoked attack upon Gov. James
B. McCreary, he found a friend of
the latter worthy and ready to meet
him upon any ground.

From the announcement of the.
way the Republican campaign start
ed, one would have thought that
the idea of a big distiller Of liQuor
being put at the head Of q commit
tee to solicit funds to elect Judge
O'Rear, was simply preposterous.
But the McCulloch letter soliciting
funds, signed by himself, explains
all. Judge O'Rear didn't try to
carry water on both shoulders.
oh, no! Just water on one should
er and something stronger on the
other.

A great grsnd-stand play was
made at the Republican State Con-
vention when it was announced that
Major E. S. Helburn, of Middles-
boro and Mayor of that little city,
was not acceptable to Judge O'Rear
as a running mate because of his
supposed afiliation with the liquor
interests. But in the meantime
Col. John McCulloch, Of greensboro,
whose avowed and open connection
with the liquor business towers
high above that Of Major Helburn,
was retained as one of the chief
campaign managers to collect
funds from recognized sources. Oh,
Republican Consistency, thou art
indeed a peach of rare bloom!

The O'Rear journals are claiming
that the Republicans of Kentucky
have not sufficient campaign funds
to provide five-thoussnd-dollar free
dinners and barbecues in order to
draw a crowd" What a pity! And
where has "fve-thousand-dollar"
barbecue yet been held in Ken
lucky? If these pitiful spielers will
make inquiry they will find that
these great Democratic gatherings
are organized by the Democrats of
the various counties, who are bear
ing the expense themselves. The
Republicans have the same privi-
lege. They might use some of the
money Chairman McCulloch is col
Letting and give fifty-thousand-
dollar affair.

The Hartford Republican says:
"The Democrats Of Ohio county

bad! How nice that would have
been for the Court House Ring and

bosses of the &. o. p. in Ohio coun-
ty-just to let them gone on and
elect men without opposition. But
the great voting public would not
stand for anything like that.

rear. Mr.. Westerfield is making a
winning race. but the steam-roller
methods which put his opponent in
the field are too we'll remembered
for the voters TO put their vote of
approval on that sort of thing.

]. T. Wills of the Circuit Court issued a
temporary writ of Injunction on the 18th
