placed in his hands the record and
findings in the recent courtmartiaf for
the killing of citizens by soldiers dur

The governor will review the record
and the findings. Nothing will be given
to the public concerning them until he
has reached a decision.
While the adjutant generals Office is
silent. and the governor has indicated
to nobody what the findings are, the
impression is that the soldiers charged

The CouTier-Journal seems dis
posed to continue its abusive
fight against the candidacy of
Gov. Woodrow Wilson, and so tar
as we are able to see, it is found
ed on the suspicious Of Mr..
Watterson that the Governor has
not been true to q personal
friend. Regardless Of Waiter
sons bitter attacks, whether his
assumptions are right or wrong,
the Courier-Journal is evidently
persuing the wrong course and
the bulk Of Democrats in this
State will not be affected. Our
party recognizes no boss and
will not listen to the mutterings
of the Courier-Journal. Gov.
Wilson, as a Democrat, as a
S ia tie SIN an, as a candidate
for the Presidency, is be-
fore the Democracy, and our
party will act independently of
the dislikes and the abuse of the
Courier-Journal's great editor.
In times past the Courier Journal
has made bitter fights against
worthy party nominees. 1t has
also attacked party platforms
and party policies. 1t has hurt
the party in some of its most i'm
portant battles, and likewise it
weakened Democratic confidence
in its teachings. To our mind a
great injustice is now being done
our party by the bitter attacks of
the Courier-Journal against one
of the great men of the country.
Democrats will not endorse such
methods.
