New Party Proves Most Effect
i've Peroxide For Local
Republicans.
Democratic Ticket Headed by
DR.. Buschmeyer Gathering
Strength Daily.
WILL Be LIVELY THIS MONTH

A crushing blow was given to the
hopes of the Herald-Progressive
party this past week when the Re-
publicans filed their nominating
petitions for the coming August
primary, the Herald followers hav-
would not be able to muster enough
candidates for the various offices,
when, 10 and behold, the Republicans
come forward with one Of the
strongest and cleanest tickets in
years, and superior in every way to
the aggregation OF misfits put for
ward by the Herald-Progressive
party. One noticeable feature, and
for which the G.. o. P. deserves con-
gratulattons, is the fact that the
A. P. A. bigots and fanatics in gen.
eral have all fitted into the monde
script ranks of the Progressives, in
addition to other eccentrics, among
them being one of our leading So
cialists and driver of beer wagon,
boing on the Herald ticket for Alder
man. The local Republican party
should take advantage of THIS op-
portunity and draw the lines strong
enough to never let this freaky and
dangerous element back into its
ranks, and it is believed by many
that after the death OF the Herald
party in November they will be
found as new acquisition in the
Socialist Labor party. ~
When the Herald spoke in its
columns of the noble representatives
of the people on its personally select
ed ticket, and then published the
names OF the sweet bunch aspiring
Tor office through Progressive chan
nels, 1t caused a general litter all
over town, the Herald even being
SO ashamed Of the list as to hide
their names in an obscure place on
the last page. 1t is unfair TO men
like George T. Wood, w. Nick
Vaughan, Charles ID. Gates, Augustus
e. Wilson and others ON the Re-
publican ticket to even compare them
with the misfits selected on the
Herald-Prog gressive ticket. 1t has
been rumored that Burton Vance and
others of the Herald-Progressiv
leaders have become dissatisfied
with their only nominee for Police
Judge, William G.. Holbourne, and
will seek TO enjoin County Clerk
Pres Ray from placing his name on
The ballot, this all being pretty
humorous, coming from the party
that ridiculed the Republicans only
a short time ago.
Some OF the Progressive are boast
ing that eX-Captain of Police Robert
y. Foster has returned to Louisville
to assist them in capturing control
OF the municipal government, this
being in line with his interview with
the Herald a short time ago, when he
stated that he would return to
Louisville some day ito save the
city from the Whallen gang" Incl
dentally this is the doughty Cap
tain's first appearance here since
jury in Judge Fields court re-
turned a verdict against him and his
Dondsman for assault and battery on
Henry Lepping. and which damages
or court costs have never been paid.
In all probability the court officials
may be able 20 collect the same now
since the saloon wrecking Captain
has acquired new political hackers.
In direct contradiction from the
above turmoil and troubles of the
Herald-Progressiya party the Demo-
cratic ticket, headed by DIR. Busche-
meyer, appears an easy winner In
November, the dignified campaign of
our next Mayor anl tine other as
pirants appealing to all citizens de-
sirous OF good government and a
repetition of the Head regime as a
business administration. In the few
races chat were contested in Demo-
cratic circles everything was clean
and above aboard With the exception
OF the methods pursued by a few
character assasins in the County AS
SCISSOR race, these puerile POLITICAL
