protest against the hanging Of
Mamie r. Lomax, that there1l be
many wet days and dry ones, too,
before they'll hang Matte Lomax
in this city. Tumultuous applause
greeted this sentiment. The Ken
lucky representative also advo-
Gated equal suffrage for women.
He informed his audience that II
there Is a race question on, the
white man is responsible for It.;
that the negroes should stand to-
gether and fight for their rights
instead of being ashamed of their
color"
Great God, fellow citizens, we
heard of this man at Frankfort in
much the same vein melting mob
before he was scarcely known in pol
tiles, and before his .infamy had
reached to other parts of the nation.
Now we find him sent by the Repub-
licans Of the Eleventh Congressional
district to the capital of the United
States, there to pursue the same
damnable tactics, and to incite the
negro against the white man in this
country! Isn't he q shame to his own
family? His good old mother. who
died a few months ago, am sure
would denounce him IL she were yet
alive.
Do you want more of this In Ken
lucky? Is this the kind Of cattle that
you are to help the negro and few
white Republicans in the state or
Kentucky to foist upon our state?
God grant that such may not be the
case! Who has done It? A Republi-
can governor Who approves it? A
Republican candidate for governor.
Can you have any confidence in a
man who promises you one thing and
does exactly the contrary?

friend, Jim Garnett, about anything.

to make in this campaign, and | have
not kept up with the newspapers and

fairs as closely as | should have

| O'Rear. made at EliZabethtown, and
published in the Louisville Post. He
mentioned the liquor question often
during the speech, and l have marked
every mention of it. Here is news
paper copy of the speech. You can
see it looks like crazy quilt. What
did he say upon the subject of liquor?
But before get to that part of 1t
down here he says:
only about 80 per cent of the
Democrats of the state partici-
pated in the primary, according
to the face of the returns, while
IL the padding done in Louisville
and the Big Sandy regions, not
to mention others, be subtracted,

true. Every one of those who die
participate was a white man. He sale
he got his nomination by 90 per CEN
of his party being represented whel
he was nominated, but in that so pc
cent were Caleb Powers and men
acing negroes. Jim Garnett talked
about Bradleys unspotted and unde
