Governor James D!s' Black and
Congressman Thomas, in speeches at
Glasgow recently, called attention to
the fact that many saloons in Louis
vile had been Arunning wide open
notwithstanding the passage Of ma
tional prohibition. ~
"This- fact is well known to many,
citizens of Louisville. One of the,
morning newspapers, supporting Mr.,
Morrow, is in the dark of the ques--
ton, and suggests that the Federal
authorities be informed.
'"The Federal authorities have been
informed and have, acted with vigor.
Since October the Federal authhri-
ties have arrested 81 individuals for
violating the wartime prohibition,
act. The evidence produced was the
liquor sold to the Federal agents,
which was put by them in bottle
and presented at the trial. Those
arrested were all held over to the
grand jury. Most Of them pleaded
guilty and accepted the fine.
"Employes Of the following sa-
looms and bars were arrested and
either indicted or entered plea of
guilty and accepted fine:
Hither &, Hughes, Palm Il Garden,
Roth Brothers, Hickey's Cafe, En-
rich's Cafe, Enterprise Hotel, See
gers Cafe, Delmar Cafe, Makes;
Cafe, Sheridan's Cafe. Conley's Cafe,
Corcoran's Cafe, Stag Hotel, Kroe-
gers Cafe, -Sieger's Cafe, Dischs'
Cafe, Antler Hotel, Cochran's Cafe,
AL Stebler's Cafe, Schueler's Cafe
Hendricks Cafe, Mcmahon g. YEN
ner's Cafe, Boston Cafe, Young's.
Cafe, Seitz's Cafe, Nolan's Nary
Anderson Cafe. !,
"These saloons are almost all cefSA
trally located and easy Of access
from the City Hall. . ).
"The Federal authorities found
liquor sold over at least twenty-five
bars during ten days investigation
There Were two. men engaged by the
United States government in this
work. ssS -ley fTrF
~Neither before, at that time, nor
since has the city administration OF
Louisville, nor the Searcy police force
nor the county authorities made any
arrests or any evident attempts to
prevent the sale of liquor by the sa-
looms. The Louisville police force
has Alb men; the county has rs depp-
ty sheriffs and Is patrolmen. The
forces available by the Republican
administration amounted to 458 men.
The Federal organization for the en-
forcement of law used two men, as
stated above
"The, gratitude of the sal0onkeep-
ers of Louisville is shown by the great
number of cards bearing the photo
graph of Mr.. Morrow to be seen In
the saloons and in their windows
Then the city administration has
299 times the number of men employ
ed by the government, 458 to q no
one can claim that they lack the
means of enforcing the law against
the sale of liquor. .bs
"Those most influential in the city
administration are the same Repub-
licans who are behind the campaign
for Mr.. Morrow, and are most in
lfuential in Mr.. Morow's councils.
If the state wishes an idea Of how
the prohibition act will be enforced in
Kentucky, should the Republicans
win, they have only to look at the
record Of the Republican administr&-
ton in Louisville" "a.
