BOTH HAVE GLASS HOUSES
The recent Republican county con-
ventions, as well as the state con-
Nention at Louisville, were spoken
of by the Democratic Press as a dis
grace to the state, and no doubt they
were in some respects. But the Demo-
cratic party has been constructing
a glass house of its own for some
weeks. And no surprise should be
expressed II from some quarters de-
light may be taken in hurting stones
at 1t.
The contest between the presidential
aspirants for the endorsement of the
kentucky delegation was almost lost
sight of in the bitter fight waged
between what is called on the one
side, by the other, the machine,
and on the "tother" side, the gang.
for the control of the Democratic
party in the state. Tho machine Is
otherwise denominated the Haley
Beckham VanSant Mayo Nc
Creary Millionaire Trust. The
gang is referred to as the Waiter
son Whallen James or Bucking-
ham crowd. Suffice it to say that the
administration or millionaire machine
seems to have won a complete VIC
tory in the county mass CD conven-
tons, Saturday, which assures the
election of VanSant as chairman of
the Democratic state committee by
the convention, yesterday, and makes
Gov. McCreary chairman. The con-
vention, of course. will instruct for
Speaker Clark as both sides favor
him. This is rather a blow to big
Ollie but a compromise may be affect
ed and he may be chosen as one Of
the four to represent the state at
large.
Later news leaves the organization
of the convention in doubt.

Mckinley declares that the President
already has enough votes to insure
his election on the first ballot and

Dixon claims for Mr.. Roosevelt an
easy election on the first ballot.
Both chairmen are very emphatic
in their declarations, and, since both
cannot be right, we shall have TO
content ourselves and wait and see.
CONGRESS RESTLESS
The almost useless session of Con-
gress will possibly close before the
Presidential conventions, as Con-
eressmen are anxious to look after
their own political fences and Con-
gressmen and Senators alike are
too highly interested in the presi-
Dental contest to get down to bust

Senator Lorimer is in Chicago act

II is thought that when the matter
comes to vote, II 1t ever does, the
Senator will have to go, and SO there
have been rumors this week of
movement on the part of his friends
to get the blonde boss to resign.
Vice President Sherman was in Chi
cago to interview him, and advised
his resignation, IL is thought, but
the consensus OF opinion is that lie
