The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1914-01-01

doubt he had all sorts, of strange Wis
ions and Thought he saw curious
sights.
Sauf1ey, experience of mankind has
taught that it is hard indeed for
man of your sue, at least, to get
away with ONE. but when it comes to
a long story, the whole warp, if not
the wool. composed of THEM, two
whole columns in the Post, enough to
cover the whole editorial page in the
Record. yes, even a volume in attempt
ed explanation, equivoeation and justi-
fication, only leaves you all the more
entangled. The public, We know, is
little concerned who either Saufey or
the writer may prefer for all these
offices mentioned in that dispatch of
yours. Whether it be STANLEY or
Beckham for the Senate. Helm or his
opponent, whoever he may be if he
ever comes, for Congress, or for Judge
Hardin when his time comes around
again. You know the people have
primaries in this good day of politics
and the people will pick for these Of
fees the men who suit them and they
can do it very well without either of
us, we opine. While it may hurt a
little while for US to be misrepresented,
the public does not particularly care
whether the editor of the Record is
planning political tricks or is smooth
enough to do these big things. But
the public is interested in the fact
whether certain editor of a certain
Journal is circulating through it live
political stories full of deception,
misrepresentation and even some
grains of untruth. If any one is doing
that thing in this section that editor
and that Journal, ought to be known
and we think the public desires the
information, SO that those who per-
chance may read, may not be misled
by such fake news, fostered and pub
lished from such sources.
Now, the whole of that live political
story fortunately it was not called a
live political truth is based upon a
charge made against US. If the charge
T, against US is untrue: your conclusions
as to Judge Hardin and Mr.. Stanley
are wholly untrue and your representa-
tion that they are about to scalp MIR.
Helm is gross Misrepresentation. If
we can show to the public you have
misrepresented us, yonr whole story
falls tangled mass in single heap.
You charge US thus 1.-The whole
thing started over the anxiety of
Editor j. E. Robinson of Lancaster,
who is recognized as Stanley's, right
hand bower, in this section, to induce
attorney Henry Jackson to make the
race for Congress against Mr.. Harvey
Helm in the coming primary'-and

trend of affairs Editor Robinson of
Lancaster has rushed to the defense of
Judge Hardin. Robinson has started a
crusade in his paper at Lancaster boom

Helm. This has been taken up by q
