FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Alabama came here to help nominate Franklin D.
Roosevelt. We propose to stay here and vote for him
until that duty is accomplished. The Democratic Party
would be a joke throughout the nation if it should
yield its choice of a candidate. It weuld be cowardly
to yield! We are made of sterner stuff and we have no
thought of weakening or quitting the fight.

The Democratic electorate of this country
will not submit to the dictation of a few cities like
Jersey City, Tammany New York City and Boston, and we
will not submit to any orders.from them as to whom we

shall nOminate.

I have talked with my entire delegation and

they are all likeminded.

Former Governor of Alabama and
Chairman of the State Delegation

CHAS. A. HARDIN, Chairman

 

 TO THE VOTERS or THE
THIR‘I‘EENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT:

I am constrained to answer a card printed at l0
o‘clock at night, to be circulated the-day oerOre the elec—
tion for the purpose of aiding Mr. Foxin his candidacy
for Circuit Judge. Had it not been for an accident I
would not have known of the card soon enough to have
defended myself against the implication it contained.

Mr. Voter, be candid and fair with me. What do
you think of a man who had been with his opponent,
near him and in the same town during the day without
mentioning the fact to him, waiting until the night time
to have secretly published a card, which contains the
following language quoted from a letter written him,
or for the public, by the person he had promised if he
succeeded 'in being elected the Master Commissioner's
place under him, to—wit:

“That from investigation there will be used
against him (meaning Mr. F ox) for the purpose of cor—
rupting voters of the District thousands of dollars in
money and whisky, and that he, the Master Commis—
sioner, will not go up against a proposition of money
and whisky in the election with ”conversation and a
glass of water" and in the same card signing a letter ad—
dressed to the voters containing this language: "A man
aspiring to the honorable position of Circuit Judge is
in his opinion unworthy of the office if the title to the
same is procured by corrupting and debauching the
citizens of his district, and that he does not believe in
the use of money and whisky in electicns.n

Why did not Mr. Fox show me the card and give
me a chance. to defend 'myself against its imputation?
Why did he have it printed at night to be circulated on
the day before the election? Why did he not have it
published sooner so as to give a full opportunity for
explanation or discussion? Why did he not charge
me with using or furnishing Whisky or money direct—
ly and not by insinuation? I will tell you, Mr. Voter:
Mr. F ox knows in, his heart that l have not furnished
or caused to be furnished any .money or whisky, and I
hereby repudiate as false and untrue the charge that
I am using any money or whisky, or causing it to be
used. I am sorry to say anything that may cause feel-
ing in a race that has heretofore been conducted upon
a high-plane, but I do mean to say that the chivalry
that ordinarily characterizes the Kentuckian, who is
brave and true to the traditions of his State, is want—
ing in the act of my opponent, Awho vvoulcl attempt to
give circulation to a card that might affect my reputa-
tion, which could have been written many days before
when an ample opportunity would have been given
to protect myself against its slime. I wish to say and
repeat that l have not put Eup any money in this elec-
tion, nor used or procured to be used any whisky. If
any money or whisky has been used it is without my
personal knowledge. '

It is very absurd to suggest that a poor man run-
ning upon his record as Judge would put up uthous-
ands" to aid in his election. I think it needs no ar-
gument or further suggestion to clear myself of the im—
putatio’n contained in. the card. It shows upon its
face that it is purely and simply a political movement
made by one in an attempt to avert an impending
and certain defeat. _Respectfully,

. C. A. HARDIN.

 

 I0 THE VOTER-S 0F MERCER CGUNTY

Iw ant this to be my final word ~I became a candidate for the

._- Legislature bef01e LeRoy S. Bonta and befo1e he announced. I am
for0 the submission by the Legislature of an amendment to the

Constitution of Kentucky, giving the people the 1ight to vote on
the question of a. “bone- dry” prohibition of the sale and manufac-

ture of intoxicating liquors, without compensation to distilleis or
* b1 ewers; and will vote for it when submitted. I will not vote for
‘, any speakei of the House or for any 01 ganization of the house that

does not, in my opinion, in good faith, stand for the same thing.
I 1epudiate, as false and unworthy, the statement of one candi—
date of another, or the statement of any gentleman, that either ‘

candidate for Representative is dishonorable enough to seeietly
attempt to defeat a measure for which he declares, by inserting a
joker, or in any other way. _

i. I deem it unwomhy f01 any man to employ any agency to'iin—
11011: men f1 om othei States and ot he1 Counties into Mercer County,
to 1eflect upon the truth of his opponent and tell the people who , 1
know them both, how to vote.

I am against any man employing such tactics and for any

honest and sincere man who falls victim to such unfairness

There are those who cruelly chaige that Iain insinceie. In

-1 spirit of kindness I would suggest, as evidence of the truth of

my position, on the- whiskey question, that there have been two

" historic battles in Mercer County against the saloon. Then the

saloon was entrenched in real power, both in politics and in busi—

ness. ‘A Local Option fight came up in Harrodsburg. Though not

living in town I spent the day at the polls for the success of the

"drys” and we won, and the saloon was put out of our city forever.

I say this “lest we forget.” It was not popular then to fight against
'whiskey. It is now. >

When the lines were drawn in the Democratic party on the

_ question of the; County'Unit pla nk in our platform, I" worked day

‘and night for its adoption against fierce opposition, and had the

honor of reporting, as Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions

in our County Conven ion, a Resolution binding the delegates to

" is support in the Louisville Convention, wheie it was adopted as

a pai ty measuie. I say this “Lest w e f01 get. ”
' It is popular now Ftp fight for temperance—it was not then.

My opponent was not actively engaged' in any of these fights' in 7
Mercer County, but stepped in when e 7e1ybody is f01 it, to claim
the 1 eward

In every struggle between the Rep 1blicans and Democrats in-

tne County f01 ascendancy f01 the last. fifteen years I have been
in the midst of the battle receiving scais, f01 the success of my

1 ea ty. My friends told met hat they believed my 1ec01d as a Dem—

ocrat would be appieciated and entitled me to the 1" etc of the
1” ounty. ’

M1.LeRoy Bonta is an estimable gentleman. I have not said
a word against him, nor allowed my friends to do so, and shall
work for him and vote f01 him gladly if he ieceives the nomina-
tion. I have not doubted the sincerity of his spoken purpose
As LO the good ministei s—the followei s of the 1011 ly Nazasiene
—who have intimated, to my dis shon 01, that I 11, as not right on the
“State Wide question” 01 that I would not do what I proposed, I
'h ave nothing haish to say. I hope to be selected to show them
their mistake, so they will not, in the futuie, without talking with
the person 11 hoin they oppose, do another the w1ong they have
done me. If I am defeated, I can turn to the Lord they follow who
an lead the human heart, for the Vindicatjon and the truth they
have denied me. ‘ . .‘

TO THE VOTERS OF LINCOLN COUNTY:

Several weeks ago I announced through the Inter-
ior Journal that in the event of the election of Honor—
able C. C. Fox as Circuit Judge, in the coming election,
I would be named by him. as Master Commissioner of
the Lincoln Circuit Court; Since that time I have ac-
tively campaigned in his behalf, and have met with much
encouragement. Ifeel deeply grateful to my many
friends who have been so kind as to take an active in—
terest in my behalf. HoWever, I believe from investi—
gation that there will be used against him for the purpose
of corrupting the voters of the district, thousands of
dollars in money and whisky. Mr. Foxhas announced
that he would not use. any such methods in securing his
nomination; he will not do so, and he is unwilling for
his friends to do so. I think this position very commend—
able, but under the circumstances I am unwilling to
continue actively in this race, and I now release him
from his pledge to name me Commissioner, and I re—
lease my friends from their promise made me to sup—
port Mr. Fox on my account.

‘ In conclusion, I desire to state that I will vote for
Mr. Fox, and my withdrawal is simply because I cannot
go up against a proposition of ”money and whisky" in
the election with ”conversation and a glass of water."
Thanking my friends for the interest they have taken
in my behalf and assuring themrthatrl deeply appreciate

the same, I beg ‘to remain,

Your friend,

JESS. C. LYNN.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE '
THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT:

In response to the above article I desire to say that
it is true that I do not believe in the use of mOney and
whisky in elections. A man aspiring to the honorable
position of Circuit Judge is in my opinion unworthy of
the office if his title to the same is procured by corrupt- '
ing and debauching the citizens of his district. , '

‘ If I am nominated on. August‘the 7th it will be by_
the votes of the hOnest citizenship of this district and
not by the use of money and whisky." I would rather be
defeated than to be nominated by using such methods.
A man who sits in judgment upon the rights and liber—
ties Of others should assume those duties with clean ,
hands and a pure heart. ~ ' "“

I make this appeal to you in the closing hours of
the campaign and truststhat my position will meet with
your approval at the polls on next Saturday. August
7th, I915. _

Very truly yours, .
' " CHAS. C. FOX.

 

 Mr. Leroy Bonta addresses a cynical
card to the voters of Mercer County,
in which‘he insinuates much and says

, very little. It is interesting to know
that the Rev. Bunyan McLeod, from
Nova Scotia, now preaching in Har-
rodsburg, who changes his automo-
bile as often as a dude his glove, did
in his fine Hudson motor to Dan—
ville, accompanied by the Rev. Minor
Clark and others, while my opponent
was enjoying himself at the Fair and
saw to the printing of Mr. Bonta’s
card in one of the newspaper offices
there and brought them back for dis-
tribution. In this connection and in
the light of the extreme activity of
of the directed
against me. I will first address my—
self to the charges that
somewhere I used the words "Damn

Mr. Bonta says it was a

some preachers

somehow

preachers.”

“beautiful tribute” and he knows them ,

better than I do. Yet I think he must
be mistaken. They deserve better. I
cannot recall using the words, I must

confess that I have been sorely tried
and have found. 11; rd to restrain my-
self under the injustice that has been
done me. If I should have used the
expression in the excitement of the
political contest, it was hasty and
unthinking and I am sorry to have.
wounded the delicate sensibilities of
Mr. Bonta, for I am sure he feels
REALLY HURT, and of course is not
publishing the expression for politi-
cal purposes. eii‘or his lofty intellect
would not buzzard-like swoop to car—
rion, when he could feed on the Am—
broisa of high and noble principles. I
wish to say I have a high respect for
the ministers and as I think of those
dear men, God bless them, like Mr.
Vaughan and Dr. Deering of the Meth-
odist church, whom my people loved so
much, it seems as if they have whis-
pered to me through memory, that
there is a justice above the thought—
less judgment of those who have given
me no hearing, and have unwittinglx
listened to those that would tiaduce
me. Mr. Bonta says he has no judg'

in Chas. A. Hardin to aggressively
canvass the County for him Judge
Haidin has done no such thing. Hr
has,h attc deter to defend his‘ goé’d
name, which was dragged into this
race and linked up with a lie deliber-
ately told by Frank McGarvey, while
arranging secret meeting with the
Rev. Clark in churches to organize
against me, which was shown by :

publication in the paper, attested by
good witnesses and goes undenied.
He would intimate that Gov. Stanley
is aiding me. If he is, I do not know
it. He has” attempted to defend the
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
and himself, against charges brought
against him by imported speakers
from Oklahoma, Covington, Lexing—
ton and other places, and whether
they be Republican rs Democrat is
not known to me. They can not rep—

 

resent the Forward League for Dr.
Alexander the head of it says that it
is not the purpose of the, League to
attack or tear down the Democratic
Administration. I assume he thought
it should be Ieft for the Republican
leaders. Mr. Bonta seems to be very
proud of an article he wrote last Feb-
ruary and which was published in the
Democrat and Herald. He assumed
to question me on my position on cer—
tain public. questions and now asks me
why I did not answer. He asked me
if I was not for State Wide Prohibi-
tion for the purpose of defeating it by
inserting a joker or by some other
trick. Mr. Voter, suppose I should
ask you if you were a liar or a thief,
would you feel like answering it? Yet
Mr. Bonta would ask me in substance
if I was dishonorable enough and de—
graded enough to tell the people that
I was for a thing and secretly de-
sign to defeat it. I did not answer it,
because the question was an insult.
1 would not think of asking him
such a question at I thought too well
of him to believe it was possible. I
did not answer it, because I did not
want to engage in personalities. Does
Mr. Bonta think it is necessary to
answer his insulting question in order
for one to be ele ted to office in this
”County? “He 'gide's ”me because I
would not meet him in public debate.
The reason I did not, was because I
thought then that there was no issue
between us, that we were both Demo~
crats and stood for the same thing and
could not discuss the question Without
engaging in personalities and reflect—
ing upon each other. I think more of
my party’s good ,than of my own in-
terest and would not do anything to
disrupt it. I never heard a political
discussion between Democrats that
did not hurt the party. I will never
build myself up knowingly at the ex—
pense of breaking up my party. I
can see nothing in Mr. Bonta’s card
except an attack on the Democratic
Administration and a suspicionof the
truth in my political attitudes. I can
only humbly call upon the people who
know me to protect me against un-
just insinuation and insulting ques—
tions and to judge me by the stand—
ard I have raised in this race. While
suffering all, I have cast no reflections
upon Mr. Bonta and said naught
against him. He even says that I
come out at the eleventh hour on the
State Wide question. I ask you Mr.
Voter as I have been all over this
County for weeks and weeks and have
told you how I stood, to repudiate the
false charge. Read the card that Mr.
Bonta answered and ask yourself do
I deserve the attack that is made up—
on me in the card that he had pub-
published? Isn’t it not a fact that
Mr. Bonta is trying to make himself
the hero of the “Little Jack Horner”
drama? You remember that "Little
Jack Horner sat in the corner eating
a Christmas pie, he put in his thumb
and pulled out a plum and said ‘what
a good boy am I’.”

Respectfully,

J. M. (BURR) MOBERLEY.
