Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1921-07-02


and their friends were thrown to
the wolves in short order. The
Searcy-Chilton machine rode rough
shod over the gentlemen named
above and while they were being
sacrificed all the little fish Repub-
Leans, white and black, chortled
with glee. To add insult to injury
the Searcy- Chiffon machine dared
Ross, Denmzio, Barr or any of the
rest to run in the primary. They
were told to watch the fate of the
negro Lovett in the Tenth ward.
Lovett is a candidate for Legisla-
ture and in the last election 1884
Republican votes were cast, nearly
5000 of that amount being negro
votes. Yet the Searcy-ChiltOn ma
chine will show a majority of that
negro vote cast for the white can
didatel against Lovett, one of their
own race. This is the warning to
Ross, Denunzio, Barr and the rest.
Wonder if Judge Huston Quin will
approve the methods of the machine
in this knock-down and drag-out
affair OF course the hypocritical
Herald will tell its readers that
absolute fairness prevailed
Right now in this connection we
want to say that the Democratic
Committee sohuld issue invitations
to the long lost Mems Federation
leaders and all Independent voters
to take a stroll through the Tenth
ward on that day and see for them
selves how reform" works. This
invitation goes specially for Rev.
M. p. Hunt and Rev. DR.. WEIGH
The interest in the Emmart decision
Shows that the people are as a
whole interested in the affairs of
the Democratic party this year,
and all are anxious and pulling for
a good ticket to clean out the sham
reformers, keystone police and the
hick firemen. White voters, men
and women, are keenly interested in
the Democratic ticket and man
like w. o. Head, Prof. j. H. Rich
,mond, M. o. Curd, James l.. Gar
nett, Fred Keisker, or Charles H.
knight can lead the ticket to vic
tory. The ticket selected at the
recent convention on the whole is
strong one and one that will
appeal to the voters. There are a
couple OF changes that can be adj
justed by the committee and it's
advisers that will make it a win
ner. The nomination of County
Judge should be given to L. ID.
Greene, this being the most impor-
tant change and with one or two
alterations the ticket will ride to
victory over the Searcy-Chilton ma
chine gang.
The voters do not relish the idea
of Judge Huston Quin DESERVING the
Court of Appeals bench and four
years yet to serve. 1t is supposed
that Quin will try to hang on one
and run for the other, but public
opinion will force him to resign. In
that event the mahcine proposes to
name near Mayor Smith as Quin's
successor to serve until the 1922
election. BY the way, have you
the poor old near Mayor on the
phone situation, the carfare ques-
ton and all other matters of in
terest to the taxpayers? Recently
Smithy announced that he was go
ing to issue a long statement ex-
planning why the grand jury dis
covered so much gambling under
his reign, but he was squelched by
the machine bosses it is thought,
and not a sound comes from the
near Mayor The last time the
public heard from him was on the
daylight saving question and one of
the arguments advanced in favor of
the near Mayor and Davy Roses
daylight saving method was that
| II gave one an opportunity to get
away early and play golf. Many of
the l.. & N. shopmen, consisting of
boilermakers, blacksmiths, section
hands and others, are loud in their
praise of near Mayor Smith for
giving them time to play golf after
strenuous working day. Wonder
how many toilers and workers does
the near Mayor meet in his daily
play on the golf links.
Now that Judge Huston Quin is
going to be standard-beafer of the
Republican machine many voters
anxiously await his explanation and
defense of the present misfit admin
istration. He will have to explain
why Police Captains Guelda and
Sucker were removed as Captains
and then made detectives while
under charges. Also what became
Of Night Chief Laird. He will also
be expected to tell how much was
lcollected from automobilists for
violation of the parking laws, who
has charge OF the money now, and
LIT must be quite sum as many
| and many a SO fine has been col
Elected in three years and half,
lJudge Qnin may also explain why
Capt. Curran played Il Spy" with
Pete Bitzer's two truck loads OF
