adjunct are wreatenlng to attack the Capitol Appropriation Bill Uf the Frankfort people Insist on pasS ik jng the Dowling Bill In the House 1v This Is so puerile as well as so ab surd that the advocates of the bill should pay no atentlon to It Such a threat might frighten some of our Children but no one who has given Iii the matter any thought will believe ti5 for a moment that the Legislature y5 i would fall to make proper provision for the handsonme structure that will prove the foundation stone of a new ct era In Kentucky The Capitol Appro iprlatlon Bill Is in little danger and rot the Dowling Bill should be Just as i safe Should this bill become a law v1 the State will have one of the best f7 Institutions of the kind in the South jThe old capitol buildings are well t1 suited for such an institution They well are fireproof and spacious as ra being advantageously located Il It ill becomes the citizens of Richmond and Bowling Green to make an 1rli attempt to defeat the measure because jit creates a rival institution If Kentucky had more rival educational institutions her progress in that direc tion would be greater Eight hundred Aft school teachers in the State are vitally Interested in this bill besides the thousands of children who would be benefltted by it The bill is one the best measures that has been 7 presented to the prsent General As fi semblY and It should pass in the Blouse without a dissenting vote Inthis connection it Is but proper i that we say a word about the efforts of Dr Hume to secure the pas iif sage of the bill Dr Hume caused the i rbill to be introduced and since he has worked unceasingly to put It through He deserves much credit i if IiI and Jf the bill becomes a law he will i have accomplished a great deal for aask4 Kentucky

Continued from page i whelming odds and the power of unlimited money The tremendous influences which brought about the result 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 sooner 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 gratitude 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 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 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 ledAl of the seven were either djreptly or IndIrectly 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 constituents 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 candidate Their conduct which they carefully 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 rely 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 Whether dressed in white aprons behind the bar of some audUr decorated 1 saloon mixing cocktails and other seductive drinks for the thlfsty patrons or assuming the airs pf arlsto tratlc superiority while delivering learned legal advice to brewers and posing as the leaders ota purified and regenerated Democracythey arp the 8ImeI 8ImeNo No one of the seven is better than I the other and no one of them more pleaded with the result than the others

Let those who seek tc el and lead us be Democrats In xJPKind not In name only In the light of the party disasters of the past the time has come when we must if wo shall succeed put only the faithful on guardmen who have stood the test of party flJelity and who are proof against party treachery I speak asa private citizen and as one who desires or seeks no office or honor In the gift of the partyAs As a plain Democrat earnestly believing that the triumph of the principles of that party is essential to the wellbeng and endurance of the Republic with no political ambition tobias 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 lessons of the past hqve taught us anything we should know it Is almost essential to the partys success that we should have a Democratic news naper Jij the City of Louisville The DemoertaGeof Kentucky snould demand ft end they will get it Ppr twelve years the Courier Journal has fattened upon Democratic patron 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 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 reorganization 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 committeemen 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 greatest 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 To a sweet and devoted family I can now ratire a happy man with no taint upon the name I bear and with the vigor and strength of young manhood better provide for them In the private walks of life than I could ever do while holding public office

that a commission of three should be appointed 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 telephone companies nown as the independent 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 shortness of time When the bill was passed In the Senate today Senator Charlton entered a motion to reconsider 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 Wyatt Is hustling and claims that he can bring it about The House by not holding an afternoon session today practically killed the Lillard military blll which would reorganize the militia of the State There had been considerable objection to the bill and today a motion was
