BILL BLUNK's JOLLY CRUISE.

The appearance of National Re.
publican Chairman Will H. Hays
here Tuesday didn't seem to create
the harmony that the local Repub.
licans boosted of in advance, as the
Chilton-Searcy machine did its part
to mar the festive occasion by
throwing William Marshall Bullitt
and the old-line Republicans bodily
off the local City and County Com
mittee and war to the knife has
been declared between the two fac
+, tions. To make the committee
doubly secure Chesley Searcy
LouisVlle's real Mayor, put none
/ but city and county employees on
the committee, and If they don't
fail to perform their political du-
ties according to his dictation off
will go their heads. AS far as
fulfilling their duties to the tax
payers, that is a secondary con-
sideration, and they will feed off
the public as long as they oppose
Marshall Bullitt and the other old
line Republicans who were kicked
out. To add insult to injury one
OF the new committeeman selected
, to succeed Mr.. Bullitt and his
friends is Henry Wolff, a City
Supervisor, who was arrested re-
Gently in a disorderly house raid.
Notwithstanding the raid Wolff is
still on near Mayor Smiths reform
administration roll. Sam Owens,
another member of the reform adj
ministration, was sentenced the
other day to a year in Jail for
blackmail. Somebody please page
the Mems Federation and its vice
detectives.
Another little story came out
concerning Hays visit that didn't
help the harmony programme. The
colored Republicans recently forced
the Republican State Campaign
Committee to move away from the
Seelbach Hotel because the man
agement wouldn't let the colored
brother ride on the passenger ele-
vator, but forced him to use the
freight elevator when on political
mission bent So Tuesday night
State Committeeman Hert arranged
a "free doings" for the colored Re
publicans at Thirteenth and Chest
nut, and late in the evening took
Chairman Hays down on a gum-shoe
visit to their colored friends. But
here again Harmony was thrown
out the door just as in the Bullitt-
Searcy fight Phil Brown. Hert's
choice for Chairman, was opposed
by many, their choice being r. T.
Berry, and blows followed strong
words, the consequences being that
the Keystone coppers were called
to clear the hall. After the Searcy-
Bullltt knock-down and drag-out
and the row among the colored
Republicans you'll have hard time
convincing Hert's guest that Ken
lucky wasn't aptly named when
they called it the Dark and
Bloody Ground"
The local Bolsheviki administra-
ton showed its true smallness in
the handling of the racing question.
and the publication in the Louis
vile Herald last Sunday that the
Board of Works would tear up
Fourth street south of Oak to de-
lay race patrons and otherwise
harass them caused widespread in
dignation, so much so that the
board dared not go through with
its announced programme of MAX
Ing single track, with flagman.
etc, as the Herald said. Peeved
because the race people, just like
President Wilson, paid no attention
to near Mayor Smiths bombastic
utterances. the street blocking plan
was announced, the street parade of
the race band forbidden and Chief
Petty. of the Keystoners, an
nounced that no tipsters would be
allowed on the street.
Many would like to hear him
announce the same thing about the
and burglars who are
reaping harvest under the noses
Of the comedy coppers. Many who
can find time to go to the races
can't see that they are wasting |
their time any more than our near |
Mayor who finds plenty of time to |
play his favorite golf, which we |
believe Is classed as non-essential. |
The near Mayor likes golf and 9TH
srs like racing. Everybody to their
Taste, as the old lady said when |
she kissed the cow.
