rKTK BITZER ACTS MEANLY.
Democrats are still discussing the
local convention of Wednesday
evening and tbe consensus ot opin
ion is that the attempt to Bottle
contests for nominations In a con
vention was a failure, and it noth
ing else there is a warning that the
party leaders must remember that!
the primary law was inscribed. . on.
our statute books for the benefit ot
the people and when the people
have no voice in 'making nomina
tions tor political oiuces uiey
not be concerned mightily over the
prospects of that party. Col. P. H.
Callahan, ex-Attorney General M.
M. Logan and Attorney U J.
Mackey made able arguments for
the referring of contested, nomina
tions to the pcoplo whV?
Humphreys, Tony Carroll and Mace
Wasson were champions or conven
tion methods, they claiming that a
candidate not receiving a nomina
tion In a convention was welcome
to try in a primary. Hut all three
Insinuated that a man or woman
taking this step would bo cla.wMl
ns a "sorehead."
The Kentucky Irish American
contended and still contends that a
convention Is not a fair way of
making nominations where there is
a contest. In tlio first place tlclo
cntes arc not chosen by the voters,
but the old, old stereotyped plan
Is followed in each district. A ' yes
man delegate arises to his feet and
reads hurriedly over a list prepared
by the headquarters secretary, the
motion to approve Is carried quickly
and a packed delegation is the re
sult, a few Independent delegates
heing thrown in for ballast. No
stretch of the imagination can. pic
ture delegates ithus selected as the
people's representatives but the
convention advocates never worry
as to how they will voto. The
Greene-Gregory race illustrates con
vention methods exactly. L. u.
Greene was a candidate for County
Judge for several weeks and has
one of the largest followings in the
cltv. James P. Gregory was chosen
to "oppose him at the eleventh hour,
being supported by Messrs. Hum
phreys. Cararoll and the convention
advocates. Gregory was Riven tlio
nominal Ion the mnjorlty or the del
cgates Rutins the word in omo
mysterious manner to oppose
Greene. This Is a typical conven
tion Illustration and a splendid ar
gument for primary nominations
where there are contests.
The ticket as a whole is a good
one and deserves tho BUTport of the
voters, the few mistaken nomina
tions being made where there were
contests. Mr. Emmart, the candi
date for Mayor, sounded the key
noto In his acceptance address when
lie called attention to the negro vote
ot last year. In comparing the fig
ures with the United States census
It Is safe to say that the Searcy
Chilton machine voted over 8,000
nccro boys nnd girls under twenty
one years of age for tlio Republican
ticket. There is the keynote as
Mr. Emmart states. "Willi the white
people of Louisville allow ?3,000
negro votes, 8.000 ot whom are un
der age and probably illiterate, to
elect our city officials and determine
In what manner our city and county
government shall be conducted?
The conduct of tho negroes show
that (they have been petted and
spoiled by the Republican machine
to such an extent that they are be
coming more and more arrogant
daily. . . ,
Before the Republican Board of
Park Commissioners the other day
-a committee of negroes demanded
more grounds for park purposes,
and in the course of the meeting It
developed that tho Cherokee Park
residents are beginning to resent
the influx ot the negroes in that
park. For the past few years the
residents pt the West End and
Shawnee Park have seen the march
on Shawn eeland by the negro Re
publican army, and many a white
"householder on West Chestnut
street has been forced to sacrifice
his little homestead, while others
near Shawnee Park have seen their
property depreciate because of the
encroachment ot the negroea who
gloat over driving the white people
away from their homes. During this
tiro the residents of tho Cherpkee
fafk section never sympathized or
protested against the negro drive.
But tbo shoe is on. the other foot)
jusl now and the Cherokee Park,
residents are squawking and
squawking loudly to the Republican
Board ot Park Commissioners. At
the meeting Tuesday Oommtesioner

Park on Sunday. That the negroes

RepablkM ad woin. to .
for another four years of mlsgov
ornment. The editor of the Louisville Her
ald sunw up the' troubles of the
Republican "reform" administration
by pleading with tho ipubllc to drop
tho Blalr-John Doe jiardon case,
tho Herald grudgingly acknowledg
ing that old "Howdy Ed" mudo a
mistake, but says "for goodness
sake" quit discussing' the mistake
as it gets on the "reform" admin
istration nerves. Tho John Dough
case as It sho.uld be termed just
about put tho finishing touch to
"Howdy Ed" in tho estimation of
tho people of Kentucky and there's
many a voter waiting to get another
whack at "Howdy Ed" and right
tho w wings of II) t. There's many
a good Democrat and independent
voter who was beguiled Into voting
for Morrow for Governor, but it not
bragging about it Just now, and it
Is safe to say that "Howdy Ed's"
ballyhoo speeches will bo popular
In future Kentucky campaigns.
Morrow says that Capt. Jim Hen
dricks asked for tho pardon ot the
notorious criminal, which is pretty
weak w-hui one considers that Hen
dricks is a Democrat, nnd not nat
urally suppoMXl to have any
strength with a Republican Gover
nor. There's a tip for many seek
ing pardons. See Jim Hendricks,
as "Howdy Ed" seems to pay spe
cial attention to the Hendricks re
quests. "Governor" Burllngamo and his
associates, Messrs. Johnson and
Selllgman, of the Board ot Safety,
are running a. close second to their
Keystone cops, for the comedy, judg
ing from their effort to alibi the In
efficiency of the police department.
The board Issued a statement ex
plaining that the Keystone police
didn't catch any of tho twenty-tlireo
murderers around Iicto tlio past
three jcars because well, as tho
board wijs, just because. Inci
dentally "Governor" Burlingame
forgot a few ot the mystery mur
ders In his long explanation. No
mention was made ot the murder
of the negro gambler in tho saloon
of Hur-ley Pope, the colored Repub
lican leader; no mention ot the
murder of the negro woman at
Ninth and Chestnut; not a word
about the murder in the nogro bar
ber shop on Twelfth street, where
It was said a negro named Wright
conducted a gambling game. In
neither of these three cases were
there arrests, yet the Keystone
bosses didn't class them with tho
other list of mystery murders. The
board closed Its alibi with a sure
enough funny one. It said that tho
police were alright because Pror.
Ragsdale, their A. B. C. teacher,
said they were, and further he said
their morale was good (That
morale is Greek to the Keyetbners.)
Tito board might have- added that
tho professor draws a salary from
tho School Board in addition to
pulling-down SJOO'n month to teach
psychology (over tljflr head) to tho
comedy cops, and also presort o
their morale.
Old Pete Bltzer, who holds tho
world's record for being arrested for
violation of the liquor laws, had a
little fun with the Keystone cops
this week. Pete's drivers had two
suspicious trucks which were hailed
by the Keystone cops, Capt. Curran
summoned to the 6cene, and Pete
was accused ot having whisky for
bootlegging. Pete denied the accusa
tion and told the "yap" police tnat
the trucks wore loaded down with
red pop tliat he was hauling to a
Sunday school picnic. Furthermore
If they didn't believe that was tho
truth ho would have tho trucks
haul away their load and then come
back for arrest or punishment. The
poor old trusting Keystonors- said
they'd be golderned It that wasn't
ralr enough and away went Pete's
two suspicious cargoes. Later in
the. clay the drivers and trucks re
turned, and then Pete told them
that he had been fooling 'em the
first time and that there wasn't!
even red pop in the cases. To inake
it stronger he crossed his heart
and said ho hoped to die if he
wasn't telling the truth. Lots of
the citizens are snickering and say
that Pete was up to his old tricks
and should be ashamed of kidding
our poor old Keystoners, who are
the victims ot burglars and auto
mobile thieves dally and weekly.
MACICIN COUNCIL.

KING'S VISIT.
The visit of King George and
Queen Mary to Ireland on Wednes
day was without untoward, incident,
and the conduct ot the Republican
Government forces does credit to
the people at Ireland. The King
and Queen arrived in Belfast on
Wednesday morning and were given
a respectful reception, and the same
evening they left for London. King
Georgo presided at the opening of
the Ulster Partition Parliament, the
ceremony being similar to that at
tending the inauguration ot the
British Parliament at Westminster.
"I speak from a full 'heart," eald
King George in his speech formally
opening the Ulster Parliament,
"when I pray that my coming to
Ireland today may prove to be the
first step toward an end of strife
amongst her people, whatever their
raco or creed. In that hope I ap
peal to all Irishmen to pause, to
stretch out tho hand ot forbearance,
and conciliation, to forgive and for
get, and to join in making for tho
land which they Hove a new era ofi
peace, contentmept and good wiu.
It is my earnest desire that in
Southern Ireland, too, thero may ere
long take place a parallel -to what is
now passing in this hall; that there
a similar occasion may present itself
and a. similar ceremony be per
formed." Before .the coming ot the King
and Queen there were many re
markable reports current, tone that
the Sinn 'Fein intended to signalize
tho King's visit to Belfast by mak
ing a proffer of peace to His Majes
ty, but all proved unfounded. It
was intimated in Parliamentary cir
cles that the next Cabinet move
would be made after the King's ar
rival in London. It is even hinted
that tho visit will strengthen tho
Republican Government in Ireland
and eleswhore.

ARE HOMELESS AND PENNILESS
A Dublin special says two more
Irish women have complained to the
British mlHtary authorities that
they weie subjected to indignities
by the Black and Tans. One of
thorn was rewarded for reporting
and Identifying 'her assailant by
having her home, wrecked and
burned and escaped with her life
only by jumping twelve feet to tho
ground. Both women made affi
davits to the Irish Republican au
thorities and they have licen pub
lished in the Irish Bulletin.
Mrs. Bridget Fahy, ot Abbeyslde,
Dundarvan, County Watorford, wife
of Thomas Fahy, at present In an
internment camp, has been conduct
ing her husband's grocery business
since his Incarceration. Fahy was
arrested several months ago and has
been confined to Kilworth camp
without any charge against him.
"Ahbut 10:30 at night, I was in
my bedroom," Mrs. Fahy states in
her affidavit. "I heard a knock at
the door which I did not answer.
When the second knock came I
opened the window and osked'Who
is there? A tall man looked up
and said 'Military, come down and
open the door.' I then went down
stairs with a light in my hand and
opened the door. The man, who
was a at ran go policeman, said he
wanted to get some tea. My maid
asked him if ho would have some
thing else as the fire was out. She
then cot him. at his direction, two
bottles ot stout. Wihllst he waft.
petting the stout ho said to me:
'We are Black and Tans and are
supposed not to pay for any drink
but I will pay you for all T get
hero tonight.' A small man -then
came Into the hall. I went upstairs
to see my little son. When I came
downstairs tho small man said to
me, 'Show me tho backyard I
said At was not my place to show
him the yard hut I gave a light to
a sailor who had come In and. he
showed the man the back yard. The
sailor came back and said the man
wanted me to come out to tbe yard.
I took a light In my hand and wfeut
to the back kitchen where the man
was ata'adisg. He &id 'Move over

enough to hear his conversation. He
ypoke and acted indecently towards
me. I turned quickly on my heel
and as I did he followed m to the
hall..

was In darkness. The taller man
followed my maid to her room and
b"olted tho door. He otdered her to

not. Then he ordered her to go
downstairs. Later when I went
downstairs I passed her on tho
"stairs. Sl;e had just had another
struggle with the two- men. Tho

man and I refused. Both pointed
revolvers at me. The tall man said
"TIs your last chance beforo I flro

and then I fainted.
"I reported this matter to the
District Inspector the next day and
made a statement to the Head Con
stable, stating I could Identity both
men It I got an opportunity. Tho
folltowing day I was asked to como
to the barracks for the purpose of
identifying the men. A number of
policemen were paraded in the bar
rack yard. I positively identified
the taller of tho two men and my
maid also Identified the same man,
neither of us being present at the
same time. Later the Head Con
stable called on mo and assured me
on his honor that I would not again
be Interfered with by the Crown
forces. At about 2:30 the follow

Into by armed men. who wlUhout
any notice, wrecked and burned

child escaped with our
lives by jumping from a twJve-fooH
wall Into a neighboring yard. My
house was completely destroyed to

absolutely homeless and penniless.
Minnie Fitzgerald, ot Abbeyslde.
Dungarvan, also suffored the loss ot
her home and grocery store because
Bhe reported to tho District In
spector that a gang of Black and
Tans had threatened her. Seven
Black and Tans, each carrying a tin
of parrafln, broke into her place of
business and set fire to it. Two
women occupants of the place and a
small boy barely escaped with their
lives. None had time to save any
of their effects.
