Oldham States Position
On Pardon Question

Col. X. c. Oldham, candidate for the
democratic nomination for lieutenant
governor, was in town today shaking
hands with his friends at home here.
Col. Oldham has just given his views
upon the parloning question, IN re-
Spouse to a query from a city news
paper correspondent, which win be of
interest. He says:
IL nope that l may state my posi-
ton in this matter without seeming to
citicise any former official. The par
doning power is great responsibility
upon any governor and no man has a
right to criticise pardon record un-
less he be in position to cite specific
instances of the abuse of the pardon
ing power wherein for very good rea-
sons the pardon should not have been
granted.
Il think it is a very good rule to
never grant a pardon except upon
very convincing new evidence which
was not presented at the time Of the
trial and not in possession Of the de-
PENDANT at that time.
IL take it you want my statement
from the standpoint Of a lieutenant
governor, as I am to be the next man
to hold that Office in Kentucky. The
lieutenant governor in the absence of
the governor acts as governor. He
plainly has the legal right to grant a
pardon but, in my Judgment, he has
not the moral right to pardon any
man who has been indicted, charged
with a crime or convicted by the
courts ! think he should act as gov
ernor to carry on the routine Of the
office and TO look after such business
as requires immediate attention. As
a rule the governor In absent from
the state on important business or on
a short vacation and for seldom long
er than a week. II a man is in prison
under sentence there is no good rea-
son why he must be released on q GER
tain day and in nearly all cases be-
leve that the lieutenant governor
should let applications for pardon
await the return of the governor.
shall so act, If elected to that office,
and believe it is the spirit and the
intention Of the constitution"

CROSS ATLANTIC PLANES
MAY TAKE FUEL AT SEA

Washington, April 5.-Besides the
destroyers which will patrol the course
to be mapped out for the naval sea-
planes in their proposed flight across
the Atlantic ocean in May, fuel ship
will be stationed along the route, so
that, If necessary the planes can take
on fuel at sea.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt said
that the route had not been selected,
that if it We're decided to fly direct
to Ireland the fuel ship would meet
the planes in mid-ocean and that if
the course were via the Azores the
rendezvous would be somewhere be.
tween those islands and the starting
point.
Some officers believe that the ma
chimes to make the flight will be able
to carry sufficient fuel for a nonstop
flight, but adverse winds or bad wealth.
er might force the craft to replenish
their supply of gasoline. If they do stop
for fuel, the planes will ride on the
water while loading fuel. This would
be rather dangerous operation.

BRITISH GET BLACK VIEW
OF ARCHANGEL SITUATION
Statement Says Allied Troops Are in
Grave Danger Of Being Ex-
terminated by Reds

Paris, April 5.-The situation in the
Archanged region in northern Russia
has been forcibly brought to the at
tentiOn of the peace conference by the
publication in Paris of the British
statement that the troops in the Muir
mansk and Archangel districts We're in
danger of determination unless they
were speedily reinforced.
Brigadier General w. p. Richardson,
U. S. A., is on his way to take COM
mand of the American forces in north
Russia and is expected to reach Muir
mansk with 200 soldiers in few days.
There is apparently no change, how
ever, in the avowed intention to take
the American troops out of the region
at the earliest possible date.
General Tasker H. Bliss and other
American representatives here, while
admitting the gravity of the situation,
are inclined TO believe that the troops
at distant outposts can retreat if neces-
sary before an advance by the boil
sheviki, as armored trains are avail
able for all the Americans in the re-
giOn south OF ArchanSeF and Muir
man>',.
Relief Of Archangel from the sea
probably will not be possible before
the end of May because of the ice,
but the forces in the city are we'll sup
piled with artillery and ammunition.
There is no direct communication at
present by either land or sea between
Murmansk and Archangel. Murmansk,
however, can be relieved Immediately
from the sea.
The feeling in American circles here
is that the British statement possibly
over-emphasizes the gravity of the sit
uatiOn because of the desire to send
large reinforcements, and perhaps be-
cause there may be an announcement
soon of the allied policy toward the
bolsheviki.

Fear General Strike.

their fellow men if the strike was
called under propitious circumstances,
particularly rs there We're n number OF
big establishments, known colloquially
as 'Liebknecht plants" where the
workmen We're largely spartacan, who
could be counted on to give Il most
satisfactory impetus to general
strike by going out in a body at
given signal.
Factory owners and others in close
touch with industrial conditions re-
gard the distribution of American food
supplies at reasonable prices as the
only possibility of mastering the
strike movement, re-establiShing in
dustrial order and stimulating produc-
tion. With the workmen able to buy
food, they may be able TO shake off
the influence of the radicals. With
out this possibility all must inevitably
drift completely into the domination
of the extremists.
Leading German manufacturers, par
ticularly in the electrical and machin-
cry lines, assured the correspondent
they would have no difficulty in do
ing profitable business. even under
the present wage scale, if the food and
fuel situation was solve9. The food
situation was rapidly becoming criti-
cal when the food and shipping agree
ment was signed. But the speedy ar
rival of American food ships had al
ready had an impressing effect on gen.
eral sentiment, though distribution had
not begun week ago.
The long wait for the decision of the
peace conference, and the press reports
from time to time of decisions adverse
to Germany had produced very
pessimistic sentiment, and, just as the
government representatives talked of
refusing to sign humiliating treaty,
so many publicists and men in vari-
Gus walks of life had begun to argue
the advisability of casting over the
| rest and coming to an understanding
with the bolshevists of Russia.
This sentiment, when coming from
| those of the better classes, was un-
| doubtedly voiced largely for foreign
consumption. An alliance with Russia
and .bolshevism, however, is plank
in the plan of the Independent So
cialists in the big drive for power,
! and is Il cardinal principle of the
propaganda of the spartacans, who are
so largely financed by Russian money
| that the government early in March
introduced special emergency legisla-
| ton to prohibit the importation and
| circulation of Russian currency.
