HENDRICK WILL WIN
r i E very day brings more encouragement and confidence to the Demo
crats of Kentucky who are fighting ring rule in the State Col Hendrick
y is proving to be an intrepid and invincible leader His campaign so far
farr I
the evils of Beckhamtsm in Kentucky he has left behind him an enthu
sIastic and growing following The Beckham spoilsmen in Cot Hen
dricks own district by snapping at his heels have only strengthened
strengthenedr Q
his home counties There are 25000 Democrats in the First district and t
I it is not believed that 5000 can be induced to endorse the crimes and t
horrors of Beckhamism as disclosed in two of the State asylums or the a
scandalous methods resorted to in getting nearly 100000 of grafts out j
of the treasury and into the hands of Beckham henchmen The reported t
a rakeoff of 12000 allowed Calhoun for collecting the soldiers uncontest
r ed claim and the donation of 68000 to the same young man for making h
f a trip or two to Washington in a clerical capacity after he had contract w
x ed to perform the service for 3000 should be a source of mortification
p J and shame to every honest Democrat in Kentucky Beckham with a in
t contract in his possession by which Calhoun agreed to perform the fa
service for 3000a fee that any lawyer in the State would have done jc
I the work for deliberately concealed the existence of the contract while tl
Calhoun lobbied a bill through the Legislature authorizing an additional a
commission amounting to a fee of 68000 and Beckham knowing the gi
facts sanctioned the job with his signature and then made a new con m
tract in accordance with the special act Could anything be more fi
disgraceful or put the party in a more questionable attitude before the B
r people ol the State vi
With the knowledge of these grafts of 84000 in favor of one man
who is of course a Beckham leader it will not be surprising if the First
district alone gives Hendrick 15000 majority
The Second district will also roll up an immense majority In n
Christian Beckhamism is a stench in the nostrils of the people com c
prising every offense from the seduction of a female patient in the asylum c
t iVVv to the appointment of confessed gamblers and crapshooters to commis c
sioned offices coupled with atrocities in the treatment of wards of the r
t State even worse than those at Lakeland One damage suit is now v
pending against the superintendent for 25000 for the death of James
Y Willingham of Sebree Ky from injuries alleged to have been re
ceived from scalding in a tub ot boiling water while the patient was sick F
and help jss In the full knowledge of these things and the refusal ol a
the governor to investigate the charges and his refusal to cooperate l
with the board of commissioners in their efforts to purify the institution jj
this county alone will give Hendrick 150 majority Nobody is for
i Beckham here except a few interested parties who see nothing wrong inI
these things i
The Second district may be relied upon to stand by the people and c
the news comes that the Third will be swept by the same cyclone Even
the Fourth is wheeling into line and Marion Washington Hardin and
t
other counties are fired with enthusiasm for the peoples leader Every
crisis in human affairs develops a leader equal to the emergency Hen v
drick Thorne Chenault Griffith Greene and Hays are all leaders who t
will help to redeem Kentucky from the gang who think they own it s
The atrocities in Jefferson county condemned by every paper in
Louisville will be the finishing touch to Beckhams impending defeat j
t The good people the Christian voters of Louisville will never endorse fi
such crimes and horrors with their votes at the behest of the leaders of p
a machine Beckham will now have to fight for Louisville and loaded
down with his record his ineligibility and the growing conviction that a
he cannot be elected if nominated or seated if elected the vote by which b
he will be swept out of public notice will be an earthquake Mark the h
prediction Hendrick will be nominated by a majority so large that the s
counting will be a mere formality He will go to Louisville from West v
ern Kentucky with nit less than 20000 majority and will carry the Sixth
Seventh Eighth and Ninth districts by nearly as much There is a
month yet and the tide with four weeks to gain force and flood will roll
primarybut
but the court have l < reed n u be egftl and it will smash the machine
and save the party It IK said to be h part of Mohammedanism that in
time of supreme danger the yellow Hag is displayed and it is the duty
of every nuslem to drop every tiling else and take up arms until the
p danger is past The Democratic party in Kentucky has out its yel1oI
flag The party is in danger and the ringsters who are running it
must be crushed with a piledriver and driven from power I
Let Democrats help redeem Kentucky Let every man no his duty
Let it be a clean sweep And it will be

The CourierJournal after devot

of the Beckham administration in I
the Lakeland asylum Saturday
overlooked the progress of the in J

and Monday issues Other Louis

tails of the investigation as it pro I

The Fulton Leader has isoued a
campaign book apparently in the
Interest of J C W Beckham can
didate for Gpverntih with practical
ly no opposition whose picture
takes up a whole page hear the
front On the front page are the
portraits of Wm Goebel Jt C S
Blackburn Jas B McCreary and
Chas K Wheeler The last three
named are said to be against Beck
ham and his machine Gov Goebel
is dead and cannot speak for him
self but it is certain that the other
gentleman will repudiate promptly
the slur on Col Hendrick and Judge
Breckenridge implied in the state
ment that the votes they receive
are pot to be counted as opposi i
tion We do not believe the gen
tlemen have permitted the use of
their names and pictures on the
cover of the book to endorse its con
tents Mr Wheeler contributes an
article to it but says nothing to in
dicate that he is a party to the ef
fort to belittle the candidacy of
such leaders as Col Hendrick and
Judge Breckenridge It is rather
significant also that no mention is
made in the book of several other
antimachine candidates whose
nominations are almost conceded
notably Robt L Greene for Clerk of
the Court of Appeals and N B
Hays for Attorney General
There will be no joint discussions
between Beckham and Hendrick
Col Hendrick sent a telegram to
the Governor from Springfield Sat
urday which the Governor failed to
answer saying he was addressed
as Boss Col Hendrick yester
day produced a copy of the original
telegram showing that the charge
was untrue and the word was not
in the telegram at Springfield or
when it passed through Louisville
As Beckham will speak at Fulton
probablyhire
hire a hall at other places to avoid
joint discuesions it was decided
that to force himself on a man
anxious to avoid him would do no
good except to draw crowds for the
machine candidate Hendrick will
fill his own appointments unless
Beckham accepts his standing in
vitation to divide time
Committee Meeting
A meeting of the Democratic Com
mittee of Christian county will be
called for April 23 to appoint offi

call has not yet been issued but
