attention to the omission from a re-
print in this paper, taken from the
Herald in reference to the charge by
Senator Bradley. that the Roosevelt fol-
lowing in Kentucky was led by ''men who
had failed to get office" or had been
clicked out Of office" or who had been
compelled to resign from office" The
The latter part of the sentence-"Com-
PEELED to resign from office"-was omit
ed from the copy through oversight Of
the type setter. The Herald wants to
know why this matter affects the Hart
ford organ Of the g. o. p. 50 seriously
