So it seems Senator Beck
ham is very much correct when
he says, Mr.. Bruner is raising
dead issues and questions that
have now been settled so far as
kentucky is concerned.
Listen how he appeals to the
disgruntled, the Stacker, the
pacifist, and the pro-german
vote, he says in this printed
speech mailed out; eve must
prevent and prohibit the furth-
er spread of undue socialistic
tendencies toward federal own
ership which is exploited by
some as a apanacea for every
real or fancied i'll of human So
ciety, and as quickly as possible
set these great principles in mo-
ton that will place the nations
feet once more firmly on the
paths of progress and prosperi-
ty along the ways which liber-
ty order and justice must ever
guard and keep"
Here he attacks the govern
ment control policy made nee
essary by. the war and prac-
tjced by all the Allies, this of
course is a direct bid for the
vote of the man who is sore be-
cause government control or
limitations has in any manner
prevented him from doing bust
ness as previously, this is what
he means to say and is an eff
fective appeal for such support,
yet he says he will support the
Administration policy.
In another part of his speech
he repeats the old time worn
Republican speech that because
this country has increased in
wealth and popution in the past
fifty years that the Republican
party is responsible for it.
In another place he says at
the clOce of war the tariff must
be properly adjusted between
this and all otter Countries but
he does not say lie viii vote with
the President in that matter
On the WHOM; and in SUI
stance he will vote on war
measures as everybody else
does, but during his six long
years he would serve through
the remainder of this admins
tration and all through the next
to work, canvass and vote for
and with the Republican party
and against the Democrat presi-
dent and Democrat party on all
questions great and small that
have divided the party these fif-
ty years. 1t would not be so bad
or noticeable if he served for
one year but six years will see
him or any other Republican
sent from Kentucky cast votes,
make speeches and conduct
himself toward the great Demo-
crat party and Democrat issues
that will cause any Democrat
to blush with shame and thou
sand times regret the action if
they have in any manner helped
elevate a bitter enemy of the
party to this high office to kill
tie vote of our Democrat Sena-
tor already there. =
If Ben Bruner should be
elected to the Senate he would
be the Republican ACE off the
liarty in This State. You would.
feel his influenced next fall wheE
he takes the stump for Ed Nor
row against James ID. Black
for Governor. Bruner has ask
ed the Democrats some qCes-
tons which have been answer
ed above and now here are some
Questions &c: Democrats to ask
themselves;
Will not Bruner after RI the,
close of the war, If elected, vote
against every Democrat meas
ure coming before the Senate?
If the Rer ubllcans carry eth
err house of congress- they will
re-organize that house, GUST the
Democrats from the War Com
place Republicans in
their stead, and claim honor of
the war, are you in IA
vor of this, what have you
against Democrat leader Kitch-
EN-, Speaker Champ Clark,
Senator Beckham and other
such Democrats?
Since our Democrat adminis-
Iration has had to bear all the
blame and responsibility of this
