Bruner this week, copied from the
Larue County Herald. 1t begins
with the campaign lie. widely circu-
lated, that the State headquarters of
the two parties agreed to certain
things, none of which is true. and
winds up by charging DR.. Bruner
with the very grievous offense of
being Republican: We assume the
publication in the Herald is being
paid for out of Democratic campaign
funds, but we pause to inquire why
the Democratic managers do not send
out clippings from the Courier
journal and Times, for reprint in
the country press. Have these great
Democratic newspapers said nothing
worth reproducing?
