THEY PLAY IT AS A GAME.

The idea that candidates for legis-
lative nominations in our party should
state their past party record. as well
as other principles for which they
stand, has received much favorable
comment But one. Editor Saufev of
the |. j., who pretends to publish d
Democratic paper, seems to believe in
political free love" and demurs to our
position and comments edtorially in
his characteristic language.
Whether with Mr.. j. A. Beazley S
authority, we are not advised, he states
in substance that should he be elected
to the Legislature Governor Stanley
will not ''be able TO handle Mr.. Beazley
in the slightest degree. 1t would not
be unreasonable to construe this state
ment that MIR. Beazley would cooperate
with republicans and Independents and
against his fellow democrats if sent to
represent his county at Frankfort by
his party. When the article to which
Editor Saufiey refers was written, Mr..
Beazley had announced his candidacy.
Some talk had been going around that
he WAS deficient in his past party rec
ord. and We asked him the questions
which gave an occasion for him to
publish his record to his party from
whom he sought the favor of nomina-
tion to place of responsibility and
honor. While we do not claim any
greater right than others, yet we do
feel that any democrat may with pro-
pnety, without giving Offense, inquire
whether a candidate has the habit in
the past OF scratching his party nom
inees. Having heard it so generally
rumored that in 1909 Mr.. Beszley did
not vote for all of the party rominees
in the November election. and that in
1913, after he was defeated for the
nomination for County Judge. he voted
against the late G. A. Robinson for
sheriff, the late j. W. Hamilton for
County Clerk, ard David Ross for
taller, and that in 1915 he voted against
our present sheriff Mr.. Tom Ballard,
one Of the most popular young demo
Gratis in our County, and against Gov
ernor Stanley, Democratic nominees Of
the November election. We asked the
questions in good faith to give Mr..
Beazley an occasion to publicly clear
his political record, if he could honestly
do So We did not intend to intimate
in the irterrogatories that he had voted
against Judge Arnold lie saw fit not
to give public answer to the questions.
Democrats may interpret his silence.
Personally, believing SO deeply IN the
greatness of our party and its prinei,
plies we feel that any one. who claimed
TO be a democrat, would be glad TO de-
clare straight party record ON any
occasion an opportunity was furnished,
especially when such one is a candi-
date for Democratic nomination. II
it be true that MIR. Beazley has not CO.
operated with his fellow democrats at
home, TO be sure, as Editor Saufiey
suggests, he would not likely do so if
