DEMOCRATIC Ticket Marred by Two or Throe Questionable Convention Contest. Nominee Emmart Strikes tlio Key. note With Views on Negro Question. lloaril of Safety Offers Alibi That Is Rival to Keystone Comedy. 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 McDowell ead lw unuVrirtood tlio BPKroes were overrunning Cherokee Park on Sunday. That the negroes wMl cut an Important figure in the coming Republican convention, the Fiftieth legislative district ociwen tioo -will be called to meet at the soft drink stand ot WRVlam Welte, a negro, of 740 Twelfth street.. G. G. Young, a negro, wM .preside, and notW bat negroes w411 be named tomte H $ thi'h? 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. Mackln Council .heldi a rousing meeting Monday night, at which del egates were elected to the Grand Council convention to be held at Terre Haute, Ind., August 15 to 17. Those selected to represent the council were President August Hoertz, T. Leo Connelly, Morris Buttlmer and Robert Butler. Rev. Father William Burke, O.

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. PRIESTS TO CELEBRATE. Rev. Father Thoireas J.

"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.

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.
