whelming odds and the power of un
limited money The tremendous In
fluences which brought about the re
sult are well known to all of you
When we look back at It we wonder
that it was possible to hold out so long
and that the result did not come soon
er It was impossible to Win under
such circumstances But I came ou
of the fight without soreness or bitter
ness and with a feeling of deep I grati
tude to those pf you who In the face
of apparently hopelesfc conditions
fought so well and so fajthfully as If
under the laws of the mmonwealth
I came before the Geperal Assembly
as the nominee ofl foj party for the
a 1
t
Senatorshipt
When the Genet Assembly met
in January the rofl gatt showed that
73 members of tire wo Houses had
been elected as Dppgpjrats and 65 as
Republicans Eight jjf QBe Dempcrats
refused to vote for jrfa Res the nominee
of the party One oS l ejbla few weeks
ago passed away and no criticism of
him shall come frpgny lips I shall
speak only of thpp her seven any
four of whom could hve elected me
Four of them Q0ay voted for my
Republican opponent end elected him I
the other three ben ready to do so
if their votes were P ledAl of the
seven were either djreptly or Indirect
ly connected with tp liquor business
What was the exact consideration
given for their perfidy I am unable to
State I dismiss them with contempt
to the tender mercies of their constit
uents and to the scorn of all honest
men I would only suggest that the
timid three were no less treacherous
and dishonorable than the bolder four
who voted for the Republican candi
date Their conduct which they careful
ly concealed until the Legislature met
was not BO much an injury to me as
it was a crime against representative
government If the people cannot re
ly upon the promises and pledges
made by their Representatives and
Senators it is natural that they should
lose some confidence In a Republican
form of government
To those of you acquainted with
the personal and business character
ictics of these seven notable patriots
It Is hardly necessary to say that their
conduct was not Influenced by any
question of the fairness of the primary
in which the nomination for Senator
was made by any delicate scruple
as to the fitness of the candidate
lected or by any Inordinate t1 tap
to the conscientious discharge of their
public duties They are all alike i

As a plain Democrat earnestly be
lieving that the triumph of the princi

wellbeng and endurance of the Re
public with no political ambition to
bias my Judgment with a heart full
of patriotic love for my State and
country my only appeal to the Demo
crate of Kentucky is that they shall
rally and organize for a victorous
campaign under the banner of trusted
leaders and not under the false colors
pf those who would lead them bound
hand and foot into the camp of the
enemy
If experience Is worth aught if the

Ppr twelve years the Courier Jour
nal has fattened upon Democratic pa
tron ge and fought Democratic nom
neoqfn 1895 it helped to defeat
Hardjn and the Democratic ticket and
to put into power the first Republican
administration in this State In 1896
it fought Bryan and gave the State to
McKinley In 1896 and 1897 it fought
the Democratic nominee for the
United States Senate and encouraged
the bolters to send a Republican fo
the Senate
SenateWe
We hear much talk and clamor
about d reorganization of the party
It is all right to reorganze It and no
one objects but the Democrats of the
State should see that the reorganiza
tion is done by the friends and not by
the enemies of the party
The present organization in the
State was selected by the Democratic
masses except in the cities of Louis
ville Covlngton Newport Lexington
and Paducah where the committee
men have been appointed by the State
Central Committeeman and from each
one of these cities expept Newport a
bolter was here to violate his pledge
to the party
If deorganization is needed it seems
to any fairminded man that the great
est need for It is in those cities whose
organization have turned them over
to the Republicans and encouraged
bolters The local organization in the
city of Louisville by its selfish and In
defensible conduct Has done more
than all other causes combined to
drive people out of the party there
and to lose the city by a large ma
rib to the Republicans
There is indeed need or reprganl
zAtioii there and the Democratic con
vejitlbn should see to it that men at
high character are placed in charge
of that organization that fairness and
honesty may again prevail in the party
management and Louisville restored
to her proper position as a Democratic
city

can now ratire a happy man with no
taint upon the name I bear and with
the vigor and strength of young man

private walks of life than I could ever

McCHORD BILL
Continued from pege 1
spoke along the same lines Senator
Watson offered several amendments
to the McChord hill providing that
a commission of three should be ap
pointed to enforce the provisions of
the bill The first vote was on the
Burnam substitute and this was
adopted by a vote of 19 to 15 The
substitute then was passed
The Senate also passed the Wyatt
bill placing telephone telegraph and
express companies under the police
power of the State after It had been
amended by inserting a provision ex
empting companies formed since
1898 The provision exempts tele
phone companies nown as the Inde
pendent lines The opponents of the
bill claim that they have it beaten
as it would be Impossible to pass it
through the House owing to the short
ness of time When the bill was
passed In the Senate today Senator
Charlton entered a motion to recon
sider the vote by which the bill had
been pasaed
Under the rules this motion cah not
be taken up until tomorrow If the
Senate then refused to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed
the bill will go to the House and If
the Rules Committee Is favorable the
bill can be put on its passage on
Tuesday the last day of the session
It will take some tall hustling to do
this but Senator G T Wyatt Is
hustling and claims that he can
bring it about
The House by not holding an after
noon session today practically killed
the Lillard military blll which would
reorganize the militia of the State
There had been considerable objec

was made to dispense with the af
