THE ACTION OF DEMO-
CRATIC COMMITTEE
The Betrayal OF Democracy.

The action of the Democratic
State Executive Committee in
Louisville on December, 22nd,
in calling a Primary but by a
vote of six to five refusing to in
clude the Senatorial race, is sub
ject to the greatest criticism.
This action in refusing the
Democrats the opportunity to Sc
lect their Senator is not only I'M
democratic, but is in direct and
brutal violation of the Democra-
tic National Platforms for twelve
years.
The Democratic party said in
1900 and in 1904 and in 1908
I'VE favor the election of Sena-
tors by direct vote of the peo-
pie, for it is the gateway to all
other reforms. "
The Democratic Legislature Of
Kentucky has petitioned Con
gress time and again for the
passage of such an amendment
to the Constitution. Congress
has six times passed through the
House of Representatives a reso-
luton, providing for direct cleo
ton Of Senators, by the people.
Where has it been halted? Al
ways by the Aldrichs, the De-
pews the Gugenheims and their
kind.
Democracy often rebuffed,
many times defeated in the adj
vocacy Of this issue, has never
despaired but boldly and fear
lessly advocated it, until now
victory has been partially achiev-
ed by almost one half Of the
States where the dominant par
ty dominates by Primaries. thus
giving into the hands of the peo-
ple the election Of this most i'm

POI tdlt OliICidl.
The Oregon plan has been
adopted by many states, which
gives to the people this right.
Yet by a vote Of six to five the
Democratic Committee at Louis
Vile last week refused it, and
by this action they dealt a pow
erful blow to our party. They
stabbed our platform TO its very
heart. They place our party on
the defensive and subject it to
assault. by the enemy, of being
insincere.
The Committee took their place
alongside Of Plutocracy if not at
its bidding. By this action they
say deny the people the right to
select their Senator. Let the
great office be the sport and prey
OF the vested and corrupt inter
est, Of the Lobbyist and the
bride giver; let the Senate con-
tinue a millionaire's club: let the
ghost Of Corruption continue to
stalk upon the floor once hal
lowed by the eloquencc yc Clay
and Calhoun, of Beck and Stew
ems of Webster and Douglas; Let
whitewash Committees continue
10 excuse the wholesale purchase
of seats in this august body: let
the Senatorshlp be sold to the
highest bidder; the people be
damned, up with the system -
down with Democratic platforms;
they were made to be violated,
TO ride in on, not to stand on.
Congressman Ollie NJ. James
made a wonderfully powerful
appeal to the Committee, beg
ging them to include the Sena-
torship in the Primary call. He
said among other things, Mr..
Chairman: | make bold TO say
that no candidate for Senator
will dare to come into the open
and ask you not to include the
Senatorship in the Primary of
whatever you call to nominate
your State ticket. If the one
who wants it done, who fears
the people so much that though
he is to profit by your denial of
their right to vote, by their dis
reimbursement, has not the
courage to request it. will you
invite the peoples wrath by do
ing for them, what they lack the
courage to ask you to do them
selves, What is the secret pow
er which makes this battle here
against the public voice; who is
It? Uncover this powerful OPP
position: throw the light upon
it."
Yet the Committee disregard
ed this appeal. No candidate
who opposed Mr.. James came
into the open and asked them to
do it. By This they said, we will
let the people vote for their
Governor but we will deny them
the right to vote for their Sena-
tor.
BY this action they virtually
said, we know Mr.. James would
be the nominee if the people
spoke, but we wont give them
the chance. We will try to en-
compass his defeat in a caucus
the interests are more
powerful, where the people are
throttled.
