The JUNIOR ORDER At WORK

The registration figures of Tues
day and Wednesday marked the
death-knell of any hopes held by the
motley crew of ex-policemen, A. p.
AS and down-and-outers, headed
by the Louisville Herald, the results
showing conclusively that the Demo
cratic ticket will have a handsome
majority in November, which fact
so disconnected the rabid staff in
the employ of the Chicago-owned
sheet that they were ashamed to
show the weakness of the Bull
Moose position by publishing the
registration totals, and instead
filled their columns with abuse of
the police, the administration, the
city's good name and everything in
general.
This very outcome was predicted
in the columns of the Kentucky
Irish American some time ago, when
speaking of the intended departure
of Duncan Clark, the present Herald
editor, he to leave for Chicago inn
mediately after the election, who
has been given free reign by the
Chicago owner to abuse everything
in sight in yellow journal Chicago
style, this plan having been fol-
lowed pretty consist eifsly, the Park
Board, the Library Board, the
Blind Asylum, the city administra-
tion and others coming in for such
vile attacks that the paper is now
regarded as a menace to Louisville
the evident purpose being to force
sale by public subscription to rid
the town of it's nuisance.
This past week Attorney w. w.
Davies expressed himself as pleased
with the statement of his position
from the standpoint of the Ken
tucky Irish American and reiterates
that he desires to have no connec-
tion with the A. P. A. fanatical
crew, many of whom are leaders in
the Bull Moose party. Mr.. Davies
can not deny that the gathering
present at the opening of the Pro-
gressive campaign was very much
anti-Catholic in its behavior, and
many are predicting that he will be
forced to part ways with the crew
who are working night and day to
inject religion into the campaign.
For further proof of this contention
It is pointed out that of the 12S
comprising the Junior Order in the
parade last week. nearly all wore
Axton buttons, and there is no
doubt whatever concerning the hate
this piratical aggregation bears for
the Catholics. While along this line
many are wondering why Charlie
Byrne and Hunter Ross remained
passive at that campaign opening
and allowed their fellow-Catholics o
be insulted without offering a pro-
test.
Much indignation has been ex-
pressed regarding the hasty dis
missal of State Labor Inspector Ben
Sand, who gave statistics to prove
that Axton, the Bull Moose candi.
date for. Mayor, was deliberately
attempting to mislead the voters in
regard to the wages paid his en-
ployes, and many are of the opinion
that Mr. Sand committed no error
in giving out information which
should be for the benefit of the
taxpayers and not gathered simply
for Commissioner Newman's private
use or benefit. II the Labor Bureau
is not being conducted for the
benefit Of the laboring men and the
reports gathered to be used as pub
lie documents. then the bureau
should be abolished and the efforts
OF Mr.. Newman and his subordinates
devoted to some channel that will
prove Of some beneficiary value to
their employers-the taxpayers. Mr..
Sands long service in laboring or
ganizations has won him the good
opinion of many. not to be lost by
the unmerited rebuke and discharge
of Commissioner Newman.
