REMEMBER HEATS RECORD

April showers followed by May
days have enlivened the political
situation in Kentucky. Louisville is
the hotbed this week and the bees
and wasps are busy sucking honey
from their bright particular flowers.
Just now Judge Edward c. O'Rear
appears to be the marigold over
which the editor of the Louisville
Evening Post is lowering. The
editor of the Post will not permit
any other man to champion O'Rear's
cause. Still there are many reasons
to believe that Judge O'Rear will be
the Republican nominee. He has all
the prohibition ideas, the proscrip-
tive religious ideas and the kindly
feeling toward night-riders and
other pure feud laws that constitute
Kentucky Republican.
From present indications Gov.
Wilson and Senator Bradley,
neither of whom are narrow-minded
politicians, will not engage in any
midsummer nightmare speeches to
further the candidacy of Judge
O'Rear. Should Judge O'Rear be
beaten in the primary, look out for
slump from the Post. The editor
will try to climb back into the Demo-
cratic band wagon and will be salts
fled with a seat on the tail gate.
In Democratic circles Judge WILL
lam Adams, of Cynthiana, is max
ing surprising strides as a candidate
for the Gubernatorial nomination.
Judge Adams has been in and
around Louisville for the past ten
days and has made a good i'm
preston wherever he has been seen.
He does not profess to be an orator;
neither is he declaring for fads and
fancies. His candidacy has thrown
a scare into the ranks of McCreary,
Beckham. Haley & Company. No
matter whom the Democrats nomin-
ate, they ought to win easily If the
Republicans choose Judge O'Rear
as their leader. The voters of Ken
lucky will not atand for any man
whose platform is no broader than
the few planks that caused the
burning of witches at Salem or the
burning of warehouses at Hopkins
Vile.
Now to get nearer home-the
local branches of the Junior Order
of American Mechanics are pulling
for one of their set to be appointed
as head janitor of the Louisville
schools. The A. p AS and other
members OF the Junior Order and
followers of the Louisville Evening
Post elected the present School Com
mission last November. That body
named one Heat as head janitor.
Heat did not have time to warm
his official seat before he was ar
rested on the charge of disorderly
conduct on a warrant sworn out
by his wife. At the same time a
Young female person, who proved to
be the stenographer for DIR. Weaver.
a member of the School Commission,
was arrested. Both arrests were
made at the instance OF Heats
wife. He was Junior Order man.
Now comes the Junior Order with
another scintillating light in the per-
SON of John A. McIver, who seeks to
succeed Heat. McIver is Secretary
of Banner Council, Junior Order.
Until recently he was floorwalker at
]. Bacon & Sons McIver is making
his record as Junior Order man.
His name was appended to a letter
thanking members Of the Junior Or
der for work done at the last
election. Look out for the election
OF McIver unless stronger A. +. A.
candidate appears.
