POLITICIANS
Are Amazed at Herald's Vile At
tempts to Injure Gov.
Stanely.
Ogden Supporters Sore at the ig-
noring of Congressional
Candidate.
Col. Petty's Keystone Police Acquir-
ing World Wide Repu-
tation.
FUNNY ATTEMPTS AT DISGUISE.

With all the venom and yigor
possible the Louisville Herald con-
tinues its daily assault on Gov.
Stanley with the hope of turning
the tide to the Republican camp,
and has used every means of abuse
and yillification in its repertoire to
injure his election to the United
States Senate. First the attempt
was made to create dissension be-
tween the Beckham-Stanley forces,
this being followed by move TO
inject the prohibition question In
the campaign, which question both
Republicans and Democrats agree Is
a dead issue. Then the Herald tried
to have the Baptists organize
against Gov. Stanley, this being
nipped in the bud by DR.. Landrum,
a Baptist minister, who said win
ming the war" comes first. Next
our Republican organ tried to
impugn President Wilson's motives
In the letter to Senator Beckham
in behalf of Stanley's candidacy.
Then the State was combed clean
by the Herald correspondents 10
dig up some old disgruntled set
tier who for the sake of getting
his ''pictur" in the paper would an
nounce that he and all CD his fol-
lowers would oppose the Democratic
nominee. All attempts fell on bar
rem soil and the poor old Pieadllly
editor is pretty near at his wits
end in the mud-slinging campaign.
Coupled with the futile attacks
on Gov. Stanley was bombastic
attempt to ring in Doc" Bruner as
the star of all our patriotic hopes.
but none of the voters have been
ablel to agree with the Herald that
Doc would be bigger help to
President Wilson in winning -
war than Gov. Stanley, one of his
own political family. The strenuous
attempts TO. boost Bruper- and
Bruner alone, have made the Ogden
supporters here pretty sore on the
Herald and 1t is no secret that the
local Republicans would prefer
Ogden to Bruner. the ex-Democrat.
In the August primary the Searcy-
Chiffon machine laid all plans to
throw the harpoon' into Doe and
only kept off at the fearful requests
OIL near Mayor Smith, who begged
and implored the local Republican
dictators not to knife his friend
Bruner, who like himself was a
Democrat not long ago. Docs
recent association with the Demo
cratic party doesn't make such a
big hit with the mountain Republi-
cans. as they are in the habit OF
taking theirs straight, and they
are not going to roll up a big ma,
lority for the city chap who beai
Bethurum, one of the mountain
boys.
Well. evidence is coming in fas
that Chief of Police Petty, the
head of our local Keystone police
said something when he returned
from the Police Chiefs convention
this past summer, when he came
out in a card telling of the splendid
work his Keystoners were doing anc
what a wide reputation they were
acquiring This week the Ken
lucky Irish American received cyl
dence that backs up the Chiefs
statement in regard to the wide
reputation alright, mention OF th'
Keystone police of Louisville beint
made right up in the front Lint
trenches in France. Communication
have been received from the Grea
Lakes encampment, telling how thu
sailor boys were amused at thu
antics of Petty's performers. An
other came from Camp Eustis, Va.

keystone boys, while another iron
