Stung by the expose in the Ken
lucky Irish American of the smooth
attempt of Dick Knott and his A. +.
A. allies in their attempt to control
the Board of Education by crying
"Keep politics out of the schools,
while at the same time injecting re-
iigion in the campaign, the Evening
Post editor turns the walls of his
venom and wrath at this paper IN
a half column editorial, but does not
attempt to explain or deny his con-
nection with the deal made in 1910
whereby two of the so-called Good
Government ticket we're knitted in
exchange for the support of the
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics, the Evening Posts busl-
ness manager, Dave Rose, being the
business partner also of Edward
Gottschalk, who led the Peoples OF
A p. A ticket. Mr.. Knott is peeved
at having his hand called when he
expected to name the candidates for
the Board of Education, while at the
same time denying the Democrats or
any other one the same privilege.
The hypocritical and inconsistent
editor also stated that the Kentucky
irish American did not represent the
Irish or Catholics either, but TO
combat this weak fabrication 1t is
suggested that he consult any county
or state officer Of the A. o. H. as to
their official organ, the A. o. H. be-
ing the strongest Irish society in the
world. As another proof that the
Kentucky Irish American has repre-
sented the Catholics in this section
lust cite the fact that the Evening
Post has been barred from many
Catholic homes because Of its
A. %. A. connections as exposed In
Y Columns. naunUUH~.

have not been filed principally on his
fair and impartial views on religious
matters or because he is not a
fanatic on the temperance question.
Senator Bradley has taken up Mr..
O'DonnelTs fight and he will be
given a fair and impartial trial. In
addition to this a watchful eye is
being kept on the religious bigots
drawing Government salaries while
attempting to persecute Catholic CIT
izens. President Taft has ever been
fair in this regard, and it is expected
that he will readily act when his at
tention is called to these worthless,
some of whom gave him very weak
support in the recent local primaries.
Some of this same click circulated a
netition in the Post Office in 1910
for one of the A. p. A. school candl-
dates. and when pressed for intor-
nation as to whether this was not
violation of the civil service laws
weakly answered that it was found
on their desks.
The remarkable showing made by
Speaker Champ Clark in the past
week puts a quietus on the Wilson
boom, and the injection OF ONE
James in the Kentucky fight foI
Clark will have the good effect OF
putting Haly and Beckham out o1
Democratic politics, these two
WORTHLESS already crawling into theiI
hole from the storm Of indignation
being heaped on them from one emo
Of the State TO the other for theiI
attempt to peddle Kentucky's vote
at Baltimore.
BY the way, to whom did Henry
Watterson refer in Thursdays Cour
ier-Journal when speaking OF th'
abusive press notices sent out by th'
Haly-Beckham-IRhea trio when ht
said 'Srhe matter is being prepared
nv a characterless Arab having
desultory newspaper connection. anc
