IS WHY DEMOCRATS Fl
SHOULD NOMINATE GOV. BLACK

few days later, and in same locality,
this gentleman offered to lay wag-
err that Black would win over Morrow,
if he was successful at the August
primary. Not man offered to take
up.
The Interior Journal has no quar-
rel with Judge Carroll. He is a
gentleman and it can and will sup
port him in November if he should
be nominated in August. We are
looking for party success, however,
before we are looking for anything
else. 1t views the situation as cold
business man views business propo-
sition. 1t would have supported
Judge Carroll for the nomination as
quickly as Gov. Black if it had believ-
ed it the best policy. Gov. Black has
demonstrated his ability as a lawyer
He has shown to the people of Ken
lucky that he can take care of him
self on the stump, and most assured
ly he has demonstrated by his PROV
ess in the past that no man measures
up to him when it comes to battling
with Republican hosts of Kentucky
For these reasons the Interior Journal
shall continue to give him its ardent
and undivided support until the Demo-
cracy of Kentucky proves, as it will
do on August End, that our judge
ment of this man has not been at
fault.

Blacks Nomination
Ends Machine Rule
(Shelby Record Editorial)

. SHELBY Record Editorial)
Thousands upon thousands of Ken
tucy Democrats have said they are
in favor of the people and not the
machine politicians ruling in Ken
lucky, and the prospects for their
wishes coming true are most excel
lent. If Governor Black is nominated
and elected, there will be an end to
machine rule, for all of the active
politicians, those who are recognized
as machine men,, manipulators of
elections, and assistant to the admin
stration in the distribution of offices
and patronage are in the Carroll
camp.
Let us see if this is true. Where
are Eli Brown, Mills Logan, Billy
Klair, Dan O'Sullivan, Tom Combs,
Jim Edwards, Frank Peak, Henri,
Hines, Lawrence Reichart, manager
of the beer trust, and others who
have been known for their political
activities Every Gods blessed one
of them in the Carroll camp. Now
let some one name those who are for
Governor Black. x
In addition to this, the Courier
Journal and Times, both of which are
drifting rapidly toward Republican
ism, and the Louisville Post, of whose
democracy there has always been a
doubt, are all against Governor
Black in his race for the nomination.
But all of their work will amount to
nothing, for "the people" have set
their heads together, and are de-
termined to elect the man they want,
and need, and not have foisted upon
them man picked by the machine.
As to Judge CAROLS ability, as
Judge and his reputation as a gentle
man and man of honor there can
can be no adverse criticism, but he is
handicapped by his following and like
"old dog Tray" finds himself in bad
company. The people want him for
what he is best fitted. Chief Justice
of the Court Of Appeals, but they
don't want him for Governor. The
Carroll men say their candidate is
gaining every day, but down in their
hearts they know they are travelling
the dark woods Of doubt, and
are only whistling to keep up their
The Black men are saying
but little and are going along in the
even tenor Of their way, knowing
that "the people" have taken the
''bit in their teeth" and that their
next Governor when he goes into Of
fee will be obliged to none Of the ma
chine politicians. Adv.-200-1t |

scHELDT OPEN TO ALLIES
Dutch Government Grants Right to
Transport Supplies and Troops
Through Waterways.

London, Jan. S.-The Dutch govern
ment, according to an official an
nouncement today, has met favorably
the request of the British govern
ment that facilities be granted for the
transport of provisions for troops of
occupation in Germany through
Dutch waterways, particularly the
Scheldt, and for the use of this river
for the passage of demobilized troops,
returning home.
The Dutch government in acquies-
cling said it had no objection to such
transport, provided that it should not
be regarded as a precedent. 1t was
stipulated that the transport should
be made under the commercial flag
OF Great Britain, that it should not
include munitions, that only officers
should carry arms, and that the Dutch
government should be informed In ad-
vance of the intended passage of each
transport.
