mccaEAsy IS GOVERNOR

The outcome of the race for
Speaker at Frankfort Monday after
noon shows that James B. McCreary
is in truth and in fact the Govern
or Of the state and that the powerful
lobby. that has been dominant at
Frankfort in the past has lost its
grip on the Legislature.
Harry Schoberth, the brilliant and
popular Representative from Wood
ford county, had been an avowed
candidate for Speaker for two years
and had secured pledges from many
of the members who had served with
him like Mr.. Hunter, of this county;
Mr.. Clay, of Bourbon; Mr.. Herring
ton, of Madison, and Mr.. Mahin, OF
Jessamine. For while he seemed
to have a walk over race, but after
the state election the feeling became
prevalent that SchOberth was being
backed for the position by Mr.. I'll:
Brown and the other Prison Com
missioners, and all the lobby inter-
ests. Then it was that the Demo
cratic leaders who are sincere in
their purpose to fulfill the promises
made to the people in the party'~
platform looked about for a candl-
date who would be free form the
touch of these evil influences that
hover about Frankfort when the
Legislature is in session. Their
choice fell on Claude Terrell, OF
Trim5le county, and the contest be-
tween him and SchOberth has been
hot one for the last few weeks.
with no man wise enough to predict
the result. Late Sunday night Gov
ernor McCreary announced that he
perferred to see Terrell chosen AMI
that he could give his reasons to any
member who desired to know them
This action turned the tide to Ter
rell and enabled him to win ovcF
Schoberth by vote of "A TO %.
This decisive victory. for the Cover
nor bades well for the states. and
indicates that Governor McCreary
holds the Master and hand and that
the reforms promised by his, party
will receive his, earnest support AMI
that tire reign of the lobby is on it;
legs. This old Confederate, SOL
der is showing more punk. and indie
pendence that he has generally been
credited with possessing, and and it i,
evident that he has determined to
give the people the sort of admins
tratiOn they want. 80

EIectroIvtic Iron,

Iron is now being produced electro
lytically by a method devised by a
German scientist and tried out at a
large electrochemical plant at Leipzig.
The iron obtained is said to be excep-
tionally pure, and is formed in a
bright, very solid and easily worked
sheet on the electrode. By selecting
electrodes of suitable shapes, tubing
and even very complicated forms of
sheet iron may be readily made.
The electrolytic iron is said to be
magnetized and demagnetized much
more rapidly than ordinary soft iron,
which. it is believed. will give it a
wide field of. usefulness in the con-
struction of electromagnetic.

WHATS THE MEANING OF 1T?


What is the meaning Of the great
crowds that have flocked to hear
Senator RSJert- NJ. EaFollette of
Wisconsin, on his speaking tour of
Ohio 'Watchman, what of the
night?" is a perfectly appropriate
question for the Republican voters to
ask themselves before the time
comes to nominate the Republican
National ticket next year. - go p,
I, 1t we mistake not the meaning of
this extraordinary situation which
President Taft faces in his own
state, it means a revolution against
the system which the President rep
resents. One Of the kindest hearted
and most affable and pleasant men
in the world, with a winning person
atty and an ability that has posses
sed by few men who have sat in his
chair and experience that ought to
have equipped him to be one of the
greatest of our executives, he has SO
far failed that, even in his own state,
the Republican voters are up in arms
and cheer wildly every criticism of
his administration.
For the first time in the history Of
-thecountry a President closing his
first administration has bitter
fight on his hands to hold the dele
CATION from his own state to the Ma
tional convention. With the Re-
publican State Chairman and many
Of the members of the State Com
mittee in Ohio frankly declaring
that they believe that Colonel ROosc-
welt is the strongest candidate to
lead the party and with a strong
movement on the part of other pro-
gressives toward Senator La Fol-
lette, what the President will face
in the State Convention is a problem
for even that a state campaign man
ager who succeeded in the pre-con-
ntion campaign of 1908 in holding
the state in line for Taft, A. l.
Vorys.
If the state primary were called
it is cinch that Colonel Roosevelt
would sweep the state. Polls taken
by some of the country newspapers
in Ohio recently published, before La
Toilette came into. the state, show
that Colonel Roosevelt leads all 9TH

in some eases poor third. There
is even talk in the Cincinnati En-
quirer's New York. dispatches of

THE SPEAKERSHIP RACE


being a prophet. The Democrats of
the House Of Representatives mt
Frankfort have really seen a great
light. They put one over on the
Third House and the Prison Commits
sion when they were able to nOmi-
nate Claude B. Terrell, of Trimble
county, for the Speakership. They
had the usual influences that hover
around Frankfort during a legisla-
tive session like flies around Louis
lana sugar. barrel to .. contend with.
There we're Sam Shackelford, Cam
Cantrill, Billy Klair and like patriots
ready to fight, bleed and die if need
be for Harry Schoberth. And it
would look to the coon Up the stump
as if they had indeed fit and bled,
and that within a few moons some
of them would die, politically at
least. f fr IL
Cantrill is a candidate for re-
nomination to Congress-. He want
ed Woodford county and, of course,
the help of such gentlemen as Mr..
Shackelford in Franklin. So he
was for Schoberth. Finley Foge
will need a friendly Speaker and a
friendly House within the coming
W elk, when he comes up for re-elec-
ton as Prison Commissioner. Fin
lev won't have either. He "tOre his
trousers'-in the vernacular-in his
effort to elect a man whom he
thought he could control. He can't
control Terrell and we do not be-
lieve he could have controlled Harry
Schoberth, though Schoberth would
naturally have felt under obligation
to Fogg had Schoberth won. Billy
Klair is the only one of the bunch
who had no personal official axe to
grind. Billy mas, k'his'n"-again
dropping into the language of the
!obby-and will have a good thing
for some time to come, as his job
pays $4,000 year. 1t was his first
defeat in big politics and Billy has
got to be some politician.
Incidentally the result of the fight
for Speakership is big victory for
former Governor J. c. w. Beckham,
for whom both Klair and Cantrill
entertain the same affection that
starved wolf feels for lost lamb.
The former Governor charged his
defeat for Senator Openely TO such
loyal Democrats as Cantril and
Klair and blamed their enmity to him
on the liquor interests, with which
both have heretofore affiliated in
State politics. They thought they
were laying out Beckham cold and
now the corpse is as lively as could
properly be expected of anyone dead
so long. And if we miss not our
guess it will be liver a little later in
Governors McCreary's adminis.ri-
ton.
Altogether the Democrats have
made good start at Frankfort.
They surprised us,( we admit. We
thought sure that the powers that
therefore have potent at the capital
would continue to be so and that the
old machine, which has beaten and
Inundated everybody who would not
play its game, would Triumph again.
We are glad to give the enemy credit
for good beginning. If they make
no worse mistakes.

Verdict nisannointina.

Washington, March z6.-Offieidi5 of the department of justice plainly showed their disappointment over the acuuittal of the packers, but declin- ed to make any public statement. They declined to commit themselves on the question whether the govern ment could proceed against the pack CTS with a civil suit under the anti trust law
 At the department of justice it was freely confessed that the outcome Of the trial would increase the govern ments task, of getting convictions un- der the criminal clause of the Sher- man antitrust law It was prema- sure, officials added, however, to forecast the ultimate standing of that clause before courts and juries. The present. they stated was a period for marking time.
 Before generahzing as to the SUI ficieney or insufficiency Of the crini- inal section, the government intends to await the outcome of some of the pending prosecutions. including par ticularly the case against the United Shoe Machinery company, the Amer ican Sugar Refining company and the National Cash Register company.

Washington, March 26.-Represent- ative Mckinley, director. of the na- tional Taft bureau, tonight gave out a statement on the results of the pri- maries in New York and Indiana. He regards the results as a complete vote of confidence in President Taft and his administration.
 Republicans don't need to be re minded of the slogan which mas yer flied itself so often as a guide post in politica, events, as New York and Indiana, go, so goes the nation in national elections" says Mir. Mckin- leyI statements.
 Republicans throughout the whole country will do well to pause and reflect before further opposing the renomnation of President Taft"
 A statement by John w. Hutchi son Jr. of New York, Taft manager in that city, given out at headquarters here tonight, says the New York pri maries today indicate practically as solid New York delegation for Presi dent Taft in the Chicago convention
 The Roosevelt executive committed tonight gave out as a statement { l telegram from Judge c. H. Dueil chairman of the New York City Roose welt committee, saying the ballotins had been delayed and interfered with by non-arrival of ballots and that the names of Colonel Rooseveits dele gates had been left off entirely in some instances.
 Judge Duell telegraphed in part as follows:
 'It was an entire breakdown of the election machinery. In several dis tricts the regular election inspectors were removed by the county organi- zation just as the polls opened. In several election districts in Brooklyn the ballots did not arrive at all, In Staten Island, where Chauncey De- pew was a candidate, no ballots ar rived until 5 o'clock, and half the dis tricts were without ballots until s o'clock

GRIM HAND OF THE LAW IS RE. LENTLEssLY CLOSING IN ON
 VIRGINIA MURDERERs.
Is Now Only a Matter of Hours. Po5ses Have Them Complete
 ly Cut of in the Hills.

Hillsville. Va, March 26.-The grim hand of the law as represented by determined squad of slharpshooting detectives will strike final blow at dawn to capture Sidna Allen, Fries Allen and Wesley Edwards. indicted for the murders in the Carroll county court house.
 Detective Thomas l.. Felts return ed here tonight to direct the sortie. Without hope of arresting Claude Swanson Allen, who he believes has long ago escaped from the mountains, Detective Fets is so confident that the trio of outlaws will be ensnared within the next AS hours that he in vited a correspondent to accompany the posse tomorrow.
 The outlook is very encouraging, :" said Felts tonight. Claude Allen is probably hundreds of miles away by this time, as he had been preparing to go west within 30 days. As for i the others, all indications point to their presence in the mountains. | They are very near capture and the prospect is very hopeful" While the detectives delved into the thicket today. the rdhabiiitated court of Carroll county resumed its l sitting in the same room where scores of bullet holes dot the walls 1 and dark blotches of blood stain the floor, mute reminders of the tragedy | of March l4
 The court moved with smooth pre- cision. On the bench where Judge Massie had set forth law, until a shower of lead riddles his body, wa: Acting Judge Walter Staples. Be side him were two other new off cials, Sheriff George M Edwards an, Prosecuting Attorney Floyd Landreth Of the old court officials there re mained only Clerk Dexter Goad, ! gash in his left cheek torn by bul let,

 The Allen family is greatly dis heartened. Jack Allen, whose son Friel is being hunted in the noun ] tains, broke down today. Another parent upon whom the tragedy has imposed heavy burden is the moth. CT of the Edwards boys.
