when Senator Beckham and Gov.
Stanley spoke from the same plat
form in the capital Of the fine old
county Of Graves TO an audience
which far out-reachcd the sound
Of their voices IL was a real
love feast and when the senior
Senator said that old animosi-
ties had been healed and plead fcr
the election Of Gov. Stanley to the
United States Senate. the applause
could almost be heard over the Ten
nessee line. The senator's speech was
worthy Of him and the splendid oc-
casion. He told Of the great work be-
inG done at Washington and Of the
necessity of sending a successor to
the lamented James who will stand
bv the President and give him the aid
so important in his effort to make the
world fit TO live in. The senator
rcised himself in the estimation Of
every loyal democrat and brought
friend and foe in happy reunion. He
read a letter from President Wilson
expressing the Importance of elect
ing a man in Senator James place.
who would carry on the splendid work
h. was doing, and upon whom he
could always rely for sympathy and
support. This letter will have a tell
inr effect and will remove all fears
that the doubling Thomases NAV have
felt as to the triumphant election Of
the man. so fitted by capacity and ex.
perience, to give the President the
most effective support in the great.
est task that ever befell a man
When Gov. Stanley arose to speak.
the deafening applause and cheers
that greeted him showed that The
senator's appeal had fallen on will
irg ears and that the governor is
the pride of the unconquerable de
mocracy of the "Pennyrile." The
greeting spurred him to his best If
fort and his burning words sent de-
termination and conviction to the
minds of his magnificent audience
He very ably answered the so-called
arguments of his republican oppon-
ent and his "me toos" as to his veto
of the bill to prohibit the teaching of
German in our tax supported schools
He said he did il because il was right
and because he had conferred with
the authorities at Washington. who
agreed that now more than ever W
should know the German language TO |
follow up the economic evolution and |
development of the German nation |
and watch the manifestations of her |
activities. We are fighting the Ger
mans, not their language. which is
being taught in the schools of France.
Italy and England.
He answered the charges of DR.. |
Bruner so as to make a MONKEY of |
hat clever but misguided gentleman
md said that the record would show
hat he had pardoned more of the
ioctor's political friends than he had
# democrats and defied the intimation
hat he had used the pardoning power
FOR political purposes. He urged his
hearers to forget everything but the
iuty they now owe to the great man
At Washington by backing him up |
with supporters that can always be
depended upon. The governor was in
fine fettle and never spoke more elo-
quently or convincingly. Both |
speeches are published in the Louis
vile democratic papers in full and
must be read to be thoroughly appre-
ciated.
There is nothing now so certain in
the future as that Gov. Stanley will !
be elected and if every democrat will
do his duty, by such a majority as will
show how solidly Kentuckians ap-
prove of the war principles of the
President
