A picnic promoter and outdoor
amusement organizer was last week
bcmoaning the fact that kentucky
had he'd its Republican convention
for Presidential convention dele
gates. He said that with this event
still on the boards he would have
been able to clean up thousands OF
dollars, as he would have arranged
a number of events IN the county.
and had as principal attractions the
two active Republican candidates
for President as speakers, drawing
thousands of people from this and
adjoining counties. This has been
his usual fate, he declares, as many
times in life he has been right in
line to make fortune, but some.
thing has appeared at the las'
momcn, to wreck his plans.
