Let The Truth BE Told.

Hartford, KY, September 80, 1915.
Editor Republican:
For weeks we have noticed, from
time to time, articles appearing in
the various papers in the State, many
of which have been copied by the
Hartford Herald, in which Judge
Birkhead and Comonwealth's Attor-
ney Ringo have been lauded in an
extravagant manner for having
'bravely' brought to book numerous
possum hunters in Ohio County. In
fact, many papers are quoted as sug-
costing that Messrs. Birkhead and
Ringo should be sent to Georgia to
ferret out and punish those guilty
of the murder of Leo Frank. Still
others have suggested that these Wig
orous prosecutors and defenders Of
the law might be sent to other parts
of the State, where lawlessness has
been rampant.
To those who have been on the
ground and are thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the facts, all this has been
sickening and disgusting. 1t is a
fact beyond dispute, and it will not
be disputed, that the sum total of
Messrs. Birkhead and Ringo's great
work in bringing to justice possum
hunters in Ohio county has been to
open Court, call special session of
the grand jury and try two cases.
Even in the opening of the special
term. in his instructions to the grand
jury, the good judge at least three
times pointed out to the jury, and
incidently to the crowded court room
the fact that the good County At
torney' requested that special grand
jury be convened during the special
term of court which he had called.
1t is well known here at Hartford
and to many people in Ohio county
that but for the effort and strenuous
labors.. of the County Attorney Mr..
C. e. Smith. for months. before the
sitting OF the grand jury at which
the first indictments were brought.
no indictments and no prosecutions
could ever have been had against
Ohio county possum hunters. In
passing we might say that in this
work Mr.. Smith had the sympathy
and support of County Judge, J. b.
Wilson and that in all the work of
apprehending the defendants, the
High Sheriff. Mr.. Keown and his de-
puties have rendered services beyond
criticism from any source.
The truth is that the special SEES
sion OF Court did not do all 1t might
have done. In the hands of Mr.. Ringo,

The Democratic Primary.

We have been informed by men
who have watched promaries and
general elections for years-and it is
/ the universal opinion-that last
Saturdays Democratic primary was
the most corrupt of anything that
has been pulled off in the city of Ow-
ensboro and Daviess county. Money
was spent as IL it grew upon trees,
and whiskey was used as il the Ohio
River was flowing from bank to bank
with 1OO-proof goods. 1t was plain
to be seen what was coming from
the crowd at the judicial speaking
on Friday night, which ought to have
been humiliating to sober-thinking
men who want to conduct primaries
in such a way as to draw men to the
party instead of driving them away
in disgust.
The sad part of it was that a can
didate for the judiciary should allow
his rough-necked followers who, hav-
ing been filled with mean whiskey,
take charge of the Court House
supposed to be temple of Justice
and "hollo" and scream like Conan
che Indians until the visiting candi-
date could not proceed. 1t would
have been bad enough If the candi-
date had been running for the posi-
ton of referee in prize fight, but
when the sitting Judge, who is can
didate for reelection, permits d thing
of that kind to 60 on and never raises
his voice in protest. it is humiliat-
ing sight for the gods.
But what more could you expect
when it is said by the friends of the
successful candidate for judge that
he spent two years salary, which is
$S,4OO, in order to get an endorse
ment from his constituency, to say
nothing of what his friends spent for
him, and it appears unreasonable to
us that his friends should claim a
great victory when his majority of
about 1900 in round numbers in the
district have cost him and his friends
at least ten dollars each.
Tanners race was taken away from
him with money and whiskey, so his
friends claim. Men who were strong
for him and Judge. Glenn two or
three weeks ago have for the last
ten days been riding in automobiles
and working like beavers for Judge
Birkhead and Mr.. Ringo. We won

What Governor McDermOtt Sal,
About IL.


About IL.
Either the gentleman who are run
ming the politics in the Democratic
party in Kentucky have short memoir
les or they presume heavily upon the
ignorance and the Indifference of the
people.
Section of the platform adopted
by the convention at Louisville said:
THE Democratic State platform of
1911 made covenants with the peo-
pie and our State Legislatures have
kept these promises. We contrast
this record of party performance with
the utter failure of the Republican
administration during the four years
from 1907 to 1911 to carry into eff
feet the platform promises of the Re-
publican party"
Here again of course, the platform
fails to specify the exact
nature of the covenants" made by
the party with the people "and kept
by the Legislature" but we can get
some light on the situation by refer
ring to statements made by Lieuten-
ant Governor McDermott.
Governor McDermott presided over
the last two sessions of the Ken
lucky Senate and naturally is well
acquainted with the record made by
the Legislature of Kentucky.
On the first of June Governor Nc
Dermott spoke in Paris Kentucky, in
the interest of his candidacy for
Governor. During the course of his
remarks he said:
"The schools must be improved,
the roads must be built and the
State is already two millions and a
! half in debt with much of the debt
bearing five per cent. interest. In
Louisville there have been two thOus-
and homes sold over the heads of our
poor mechanics and widows for taxes.
The State employed a tax expert
from California, which with the State
tax commission prepared careful re-
port, it reuired all the strength /
could bring to bear in the Senate to
get the tax reform bill to vote and
it was defeated.
1--WE have no budget system. Men,
bers of the Legislature bring in bills
running up to the millions for AL
kinds of causes, without any thought
as to where the money is to come
from.
"A bill was passed in the last ses-
sion which almost created a panic
when the insurance companies with
drew from the State rather than
obey 1.-THE result was that the State
officers, who were sworn and made
solemn oath to uphold the law, made
a gentleman's agreement with the in
surance companies to ignore the law
until the next session of the Legisla-
ture."
Either the Democratic platform is
incorrect and the Legislature did not
keep its covenants with the people. T"
or Lieutenant Governor McDermott,
who presided over the upper branch
of the General Assembly, did not
know what he was talking about
when he made this sweeping indict-
ment of the legislative machinery
controlled by his party.
