The Louisville public will have
an opportunity to hear a Presiden-
tial asplrant this evening, as Gov.
James B. Cox, of Ohio, will de-
liver an address at the Scottish Rite
Cathedral, and judging from the en-
thusiasm and interest in his be-
half being aroused in this section
the hall will hardly be able to &C
commodaate the crowd. There is no
denying the fact that the sentiment
and interest in Gov. Cox is sweep
ing over the country like wild
fire, and the slogan of Garry the
Country With Cox" has aroused the
Democratic party to a fighting pitch.
Gov. Cox's platform on the liquor
question, the League of Nations
and every other uppemost question
IS rallying support to him that no
one dreamed of six months ago
could be brought to bear in behalf
of any Democratic candidate for
President. Gov. Cox's candidacy is
opportunity knocking at the door of
Democracy, and with him as a
standard-bearer the party outlook
would indeed be bright. Now we
come to the situation in Kentucky,
and the Kentucky Irish American,
as a real Democratic newspaper.
would like to see the Democratic
party give whole-hearted and gen.
erous support to Gov. Cox's candi-
dacy, but unfortunately some who
are not well-wishers and some VINO
have a personal AK to grind are try
ing to defeat the wishes of the
fc tho cfffafinns
Eight out of every ten Demo-
chosen as tho Democratic Presiden-
tial nominee.
A minority faction led by James
b. brown, "Bobby" Bingham and
Percy Haly are pleading ,airOugh
icamctfiiaged press propaganda for
an uninstfuctcd delegation.
Bingham and his papers are for
an uninstructed delegation because
Il is an unpopular move and would
cause dissatisfaction in the Demo-
cratic paIty-thereby aiding Bing-
hams bosom companion, lobe Hert,
boss of the Republican party.
James Ii. Brown is for an unin-
stzucted delegation, meaning dis
guised supporters for McAdoo, be-
cause the Presidents son-in-law
was his benefatcor and friend.
Must the Democratic party Of Ken
lucky be used to pay Mr.. Browns
personal obligations?
An uninstructed delegation at a
national convention will be found
pussy-footing around trying to
make deal whereby THEY WILL
BE GIVEN SOMETHING TO
SWITCH THEIR "UNINSTRUCT-
ED" votes at the psychological mo-
ment.
The majority of Kentucky Demo-
Gratis want Gov. Cox, and il the
wishes of the great majority are
tllrottled then all of the work OF
the harmony advisory and other
committees have gone for naught.
A booster for an uninstructed
delegation is a disguised McAdoo
supporter, and the propaganda in
the press for uninstructed dele
gates is furnished by the McAdoO
campaign committee.
An uninstIucted delegation from
here will vote for McAdoo and may
vote for Grape Juice Bryan.
Moral: Turn down the pussy
f0Oters who want to go as unin-
strTIcted delegates and give sup
port to the peoples choice-GOv.
James Is. Cox, of Ohio.
The Louisville Herald, in its
anxiety to stir up or discover trou-
BILE in the Democratic ranks, has
failed to tell its readers of all the
little misgivings and upsets that are
coming to trouble the minds of the
Hert-Searcy machine. incidentally
the chief trouble in the ranks of
the G.. o. p. is laid at the door of
lobe and Ches, who certainly
pulled a ''boner" in the State Re-
publican convention, and the little
fish in the party are beginning to
grumble and openly criticise the
two big bosses for the mistake. AS
every one knows, lobe and Ches
controlled the Stat convntion abso-
iutely, and could make all the dele
gates except the colored brothers
say uncle" or lay down and roll
over whenever the Hert-Searcy COM
mand was given. The writer never
saw such tame lot of milk and
water delegates ever gathered in all
his convention experience, and II
was painful to see how they
kow-towed and bow-wowed to every
little wish of Hert and Searcy. But
with all of this power and supreme
control lobe and Ches forgot te
bind their delegates by the uni
rule, or in other words bind then
to vote their wishes at the Chicago
convention. This "boner" has ctrtain
ly thrown the fat in the fire. Hert and
Searcy are for Lowden, but Woods
manager and local Manager Mar
shall Bullitt have made inroads OF
Lowden's strength, and the New
York Tribune, the national Re
publican organ, comedies that four
teen out of the twenty-six Ken
lucky delegates have Topped owe
TO Gen. Wood. No wonder the lit
tie Republicans don'tlthink so mucl
OF Bosses lobe and Ches as smar
politicians.
