Excerpt From Editorial
IN the Louisville Times
1907 AND 1915

in 1907 the Auditor of State was
the Democratic candidate for Gov
eFnor. The ticket was largely made
mp of rotationers in Office. There
was no party platform. Augustus
p. Wilson was elected Governor by
a majority of 1900.
This year the Auditor of State is a
sadidate for the Democratic uomina-
-tion for Governor. The State Treas
Hfer is q candidate for Auditor. The
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton is a candidate for Secretary OF
State. The Clerk of the COURT OF
Appeals is a candidate for Auditor.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
is a candidate for Governor. The
party has no platform and, II the
plans OF the leaders do not miscar-
~, will have no platform until after
the primaries are he'd and the can
dIdates are named, which is equiva-
lent to no platform at all, cOnceding
20 the people a measure OF intelli-
gence.
In 1907 there was no division In
the Republican party. There 10 no
division IN the Republican party
this year.
It Was the independent vote that
elected Wilson eight years ago.
The number OF Kentuckians who do
their own thinking and vote as they
think, has not decreased since 1907.
History they say has q way OF re-
peatlng itself. There may be no
repetition of l707 In 1916, but the
signs point that way. II the Demo-
cratic leaders have not observed that
fact it might pay them to cultivate
observation.
