LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.--Edwin
p. Morrow, republican for the gov
ernorship Of Kentucky, won his fight
yesterday in one Of the most spec
tacular landslides ever witnessed In
the Bluegrass state.
Running against Governor James
| fication of the peace treaty and the
| league of nations, Morrow sprang his
| first surprise when he swept the city
of Louisville with majority OF
| 5000. 1t was in this territory that
the democrats recorded their vic.
tories in past years with consistent
| majorities of~4 900.
| Republicans today said the ma
| Sc No Of ha
be approximately $4,000.
The extent Of the victory became
fully known only when it was an
nounced that the republicans had
swept the entire state ticket, had
obtained control of the lower house
of the legislature and had crowded
democrats in the state senate so
closely that only holdover legislators
saved the day for the administration
| leaders.
] Returns early Wednesday showed
the republicans had elected fifty
three representatives, against forty
six for the democrats, Trigg county
being still in doubt. In the senate
the democrats regain control, twenty
to eighteen.
Vets, encouraged by the defeat OF
Governor Black, who was known as
a dry candidate, still held hopes to-
| day that final figures would swing
the state to the wet column. Huge
anti-prohibition votes rolled up Tues
| day in Louisville and other large
| cities were sliced consistently by
rural ballots, and Indications today
| were that the state would approve
the dry proposals by nearly 10000
majority.
Brady Promises Cleanup.

the election of Mathew Brady as dis
Itrict attorney friends of Thomas j.
Mooney, serving life sentence in
San Quentin prison, took heart today.
Brady defeated Charles M. Fickert
by 6,433 votes. Fickert, as district
attorney. prosecuted Mooney for the
preparedness parade bombing out
rage.
Many indictments still stand against
Mooney, although the bombing occur
red in 1916. Brady could bring Mooney
to trial again on one OF these.
lMooneys friends assert that If this
were done the evidence would force
Governor Stephens to pardon Moon
ey.
/; Brady's first statement today did
not mention Mooney, but promised a
clean up.
II shall clean out the district at
torney's Office from top to bottom
he said Il shall appoint capable
deputies and see that they engage In
the defense Of no criminal cases. ]
shall maintain law, order and de
cency." ii
F'ickert could between now and Jan.
uary order all the outstanding in
dictments dismissed. This might de-
lay or prevent a reopening of the
case.
With the indictments standing the
new district attorney could either
have them dismissed or bring Mooney
} to trial again. Either procedure
MONEYS friends say, would force
