STANLEY
Receives Enthusiastic
Greeting from Lincoln
County Democrats.

Last Monday was a cold and dis
agreeable day and the crowd that at
tended Court Day at Stanford was
smaller than usual. But when the
hour appointed for Congressman A. o.
Stanley to speak came on, the auditor
ium at the Court House was filled.
Hon. J. b. Paxton presented the speak
er with complimentary words calling
special attention to the great services
the distinguished visitor had rendered
the people in his effective work in
dealing with the trusts as legislator.
Mr.. Stanley stated that the demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky in casting their vote
for a representative in the Federal
Senate were voting for themselves and
that the candidate selected should rep
resent the policies and principals of
the majority of democrats of the
State. He remarked that his opponent
Governor Beckham belonged to a dir
ectly opposite school of political thought
from that of the speaker and classed
his opponent as a reactionary demo-
crst and placed himself with the pro-
gressive wing of the democratic party
now led by Woodrow Wilson, W. J.
Bryan and Ollie James. Mr.. Stanley
caused considerable laughter in his
ridicule of the Interior Journal and its
editor. Editor Richard Knott and the
Louisville Post were declared the
greatest foes of Kentucky democracy
at this time and continuously for the
past dozen years. He referred to the
assaults made by this Journal and its
editor upon Goebel and the democratic
organization and that Mr., Shelton
.SaLfey and the Interior Journal were
now under the influence of this Journal
and its editor. He stated that the
denomination of Knott and the Post
over Shelton reminded him of newly
Matched nest of squads, blindly, with
open mouths. gulping down everything
that the mother pigeon dropped in.
The cartoon published in the Post
and the Interior journal representing
Stanley as running from the Webb
Kenyon Bill was declared by the speak
er a misrepresentation and SANDER and
that although the picture looked like
Stanley it acted like Beckham. He
voted against the Webb-Kcnyon Bill
because 1t was unconditional and that
his position hal been unheld by the
Supreme Court of South Carolina and
Iowa, and the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky held it imperative in this
State. He declared the insinuation in
the Interior Journal that the whiskey
trust was behind his candidacy for the
Senate was wholly untrue and without
any foundation, and that he had in.
troduced in Congress legislation that
if enacted would destroy all trusts, in.
