Frankfort, Ky, april ITO
repay Judge T.. c. O'Rear for de-
claring at the Republican Conven-
ton at Louisville last summer that
W. o. Bradley is the greatest liv-
ing Kentuckian," and that he had
secured his seat in the Senate with
out a faint, Senator Bradley to-
might in a speech here showed his
gratitude by sneering at Judge
O'Rear's candidacy for delegate
from Kentucky to the Republican
National Convention
I'VE don't want any O'Rears in
the delegation" said Senator Brad
ley, scornfully. 1T has not been
the custom to send defeated Repub-
lican candidates for Governor to the
National Convention" The ofense
of Judge O'Rear is he has announc-
ed that he prefers Col Theodore
Roosevelt to President Taft as the
Republican nominee for President.
Not only was Judge O'Rear de-
nounced, but Senator Bradley said
everything mean, belittling and
scornful of Col. Roosevelt that he
could find words to give expressions
to his thoughts.
The occasion of the speech was
the final rally to carry Franklin
county against Judge O'Rear in
mass convention and humiliate him
by defeating him with a negro cit
izen. 1t was the last gun of the
battle on the eve of mass conven-
tions.
Col. Roosevelt was characterized
as untruthful, dangerous, violator
of pledges, a demagogue. and Sena-
tor Bradley said that he was going
around the country making faces
at President Taft.
Not only did Senator Bradley
vent his spleen on Judge O'Rear
and Col. Roosevelt, but in his en-
deavors to explain his position on
pension bills, he made a vicious at
tack on The Louisville Herald, the
leading Republican morning paper
in Kentucky.
That Louisville Herald lied in
the head line" said he. lin that
pension article. The article was all
right but the head line lied" The
audience felt shocked at the rough
ness of the language, and wondered
what was coming next.
Senator Bradley felt like he talk
ed. He was in bad temper from the
start. Only ? few minutes before
he ordered man out of the thea
ter who yelled for Taft, IN do the
yelling for Taft" said he. "If you
can't conduct yourself like a gen.
tleman. then get out. There is no
place for you in here"
On the stage with Senator Brad
ley were about an equal division of
white and negro citizens, the major
ity of the white citizens being Fed
eral oflice-hOlders. and the blacks
being the active negro politicians.
To catch the negro vote, Senator
Bradley told about getting an APP
preparation of S25O,OOO for p Semi
centennial celebration of the freedom
of the negro race.
Haven't | always been your
friend?" asked Senator Bradley, to
which there were a number of
cries o! Yes" "Then listen to
me-" said he. and vote for Taft
and Bradley. You can't be for me
and Roosevelt"
las far as the race for the Re-
publican nomination is concerned,
President Taft don't pay any more
attention to Roosevelt" sneered
Senator Bradley, than he would to
a lap dog yelping at his heels.
Roosevelt is like spoiled child
crying for something he can't get"
