Democratic Party Harmonious

Before the Democratic convention
was held the Republican press dwelt
on the lack of harmony in the ranks
and contended that the factional
fights which are incident to every
race for party nomination had so
divided the Democracy that there
would be 10 Dossib'e chance for them
to get together and win a victory in
November. Their wish was father
to the thought. The Republicans
foudly felt that they could encour-
age i'll feeling between Dem ocrsts
and make chasm so wide that their
party would profit by it. But bitter
as the contests were for some of the
state offices before the primary. the
overwhelming majorities given the
nominees proved that the majority
of the Democrats in the state had
not only made up their minds to
nominate this ticket. but 20 elect it.
That they chose wisely is evident
from the unanimous support given
by the press of the state to the tick
ct headed by Governor McCreary.
Ever, section is given representation.
After the convention loyal Demo
Gratis accepted the platform adopted,
even putting aside their personal
preferences, and got into line for
the ticket. Each day has only added
to the party's strength. There is
positive conviction in the minds of
Kentucky Democrats that the state
must not only go Democratic this
year, but that the victory in Mo-
vember will have tremendous in
fluence upon the presidential cleo.
tion to be held next year. They
know how fatal it would be to DEM
ocratic success to have the Republi-
cans capture this state on the eve CT
national contest. With this great
interest in the balance, McCreary
men. Johnsol men, Adams men
and Head men have joined forces
for the good of the party, regard
less of their personal feelings or PC
litical ambitions.
And so it turns out that instead of
the bitter factions predicted by the
Republicans. we have Democratic
harmony and unity for the first time
in many years, with success abso-
lutely assured.
