KENTUCKY G M OWES SUCCESS TO STANLEYISM Bopublicans Took Stand Directly Opposite to That of Senator. OW HAVE BYES-OJ- ' - t- - All Signs Point to Inroad on Solid South at Polls Next Year. Special DmjwJcA te Tan Bcs. Lowsvnxs, Nov. 8. When tho Re- publican party ol Kentucky tnot last spring to build a platform and nomi- nate a State ticket the leaders were told by certain of tho old lino Demo- crats that they had bat to realize that they vcro living th 1519 and not In 1800, and' that they, needed only to take a stand diametrically opposed to everything Senator Augustus O. Stan- ley represented to entef upon the road to. victory. It Just happened that the Republ- icans were wise enough to listen and to obey. The result of such listening and obedlcnco is seen In last Tuesday's election. Edwin Porch Morrow, one of tho most dynamic voto hunters In the country, was elected Governor. With him, ttf victory was swept the entire Kepublisah ticket. It was, the greatest Republican victory on record !n a State that only twice before had elected a Republican to the head of. Its Government. And even more significant is tho fact that not since the Democrats nominated James D. Black to succeed himself as Governor was, tho result of the election ever in doubt Had Sena- tor Stanley sought to save hla disin- tegrating Democratic machino and offered himself as candidate, it Is altogether probable that his defeat would have been far moro humiliating than was that of Mr. Black. Kentucky was tired of Stanley. The voters were weary of what 8tanley stands for. To a certain degree Mr. Morrow's victory is a personal achieve- ment. No effort is made to detract from the prowess of his personality. But any Industrious Republican who had tact enough to hold his party together and vigor enough to get out and get the votes so eager to be got might have Just as signally deieateu air. uiacK. State Tired of Stanley. Kentucky was tired o'f Stanley, tired of tho old, selfish, arrogant machine that hadn't kepfc.progreae with the times and which stlll'-clun- g to. el'cctioh laws, and taxation schedules that long ago had become archaic. When young King Swope, a colt of J3 years, defeated Judge Hardin by 1,700 votes down In tho Eighth Con- gressional District last summer, the Re- publicans were fearful that the Demo- crats would see In that defeat the trend of the jpopular; thought and so' jnend their ways and so amend their speeches as to convince a lot of wavering Demo- crats that after all it would bo best to stick by the party of their fathers. At that time Mr. Morrow, himself declared that he' was' apprehensive of the ef- fect that the Hardin defeat 'would have on the somnolent Democratic party. , \They might wake up,\ ho said with a grim smile, \ana if they are fully awake they may make a lot of trouble. We'll win but we would Uke.aa little real opposition as possible. WVRepubllcans are working In the enemy's territory and It will be Just .as well if the enemy does not' become loo alert\ But to return to the Republican State i.nnvnntinn last sorlnir. To that con vention came several old school Demo-cat- s saying: \Kentucky Is bigger than any party. Kentucky's- - honor happens to be In the keeping of a machine that values noth- ing so highly a? It dpes political prefer- ment There are'eome thousand honest, Kentucky loving, Democrats in this State who will vote for a Republican for Gov- ernor It you Republicans erect a. clean platform and nominate a clean man. W.e come to you to offer our assistance. None of us Is seeking office\. None of us has political cutlery to sharpen. We wish only to offer advice which you may take or lgiiore; but we know whereof we speak.\ It happens that the dominating figure at that convention was Morrow, United States District Attorney for the eastern district of Kentucky under President Taft and tho Republican nominee for Governor against Stanley In 1916. He was defeated by Mr. Stanley by 431 votes. The laws of Kentucky did not permit of a review of the election by tiro courts. ' ' . Ilegun Cnntpntpru Knrljr. Mr. Morrow, a thoroughly alive and ambitious country lawyer of a Uttta more than forty years of age, b?n campaigning then and there. He grai M tho hands of the wise men anil made of them a steering committee that en- gineered the platform, and did much to map out the wholly successful Repub- lican programme. Foremost among these Democrats was Judpe Charles Kerr of Lexington. The alacrity with which the Republicans ac- cepted the proffered advice of Judge Kerr and the elation with which they announced his 'affiliation with them, Is proof sufficient of his worth.. Never did a man speak more sincerely than Judge Kerr when he said that he had no per- sonal Interest In politics further than that which every good citizen should have; that he was seeking nothing but the salvation of Kentucky from the Stan- ley machine and from Wllsonlan democ- racy. The sum and substance of his advlco te the Republicans was: Proclaim Cleave to local issues in all things Immediate Delivery PHIANNA CLOSED CARS except the League Of Nations and oppose tha.t if you aro compelled to discuss It. At all events oppose it 'Find out what tho people of Ken- -' tuclcy think aboit prohibition and them stick with them. .Ilemomber, half of tho power of the Stanley machine is In the saloons. The Demo- crats don't caro what ,tho peoplo want. They want to force upon the poople what thoy want tho people to have. We passed that epoch In politics somo years ago, Watch the returned soldiers. Find out where they want to go and what ' they want to do and help them get there and do that Advocate and sincerely support wom- an suffrage. Indorse those absolutely necessary changes In our school, cloctjon and taxa- tion laws. It is not tho purpose of the writer to siy or Infer that Judge Kerr was tho author of. all these planks In the Republi- can platform. Many of them were already there. Merely ho Insisted that their Im- portance bo kept In mind and that the Republicans should, above all things, sacrifice everything to sincerity, honest and Incessant, hard work. State Ticket Annonnced. An excellent Stat,e ticket of hard working, practical politicians was an- nounced by the Republicans. At- - tho same time they promulgated their pla- tforma clean cut, concise, understand-abl- o instrument that was unlike the usual dogmatic, verbose, flag bedecked .admixture of appeal and spleen. For the iirst time In years tho young men, of Kentucky had a young man's platform on which to take a stand. For the first time in years a candldato had come for- ward advocating up to date measures In a modern way. To be quite fair It must be said that Kontucky was not then and Is not now giving moro than an occasional vagrant thought to international matters. When the covenant of tho League of Nations was mentioned folks yawned. Domestic prooiems were many as they are many. The price or a pair of shoes was liable, as it Is still liable, to cause more argu- ment and rueful sollloauy than the na tionality of Fiumo and the integrity of bsthonla. Tho war -- was ovor, and to follow the trend of the Kentucky mind, it was BDout timo to give a thought to America and tho Immediate future. Therein, as the elections of Novem bor, 1920, will indicate, the Kentucky mina is wholly American. . roe .question or prohibition was not paramount in Kentucky. Only eleven of the 110 counties of the State were wet anyway, and Kontucky was already well within the meshes of tho Anti-Saloo- n League's net. Neither the Democ ratio nor the Republican platform possessed a liquor issue plank. The Republicans anounced their theory of the rleht of the people to decide such issues for them selves. The Democrats sought ambi dexterously to shako hands with the drys and hold' open the doors of the groggerles that had become gear and piston rod of tho Stanley machine. It man ( woric well. Republican Won Once Enthusiastic. Republicans will not con elude that Morrow's victory means that Kentucky Is going to roll Into the Re publican lineup at the Presidential elec tlona next November. Nor need they hank on the total collapse of the Do mo cratlc party in Kentucky. Republican politicians who know their business make no such assertions. Only once has Kentucky failed to Instruct its Presl dentlal electors for the Democratic noml nee. ,It could not stomach Mr. Bryan ana therefore Helped elect Mr. McKIn ley. But that was the only time that the Blue Grass State went Republican In a national election. Mr. Morrow's election cannot truth fully be called a break In the \Solid South.\ It may be a dent In that soil darlty, but not a break. It can be con sldered as it Is a sign of the times. rAnd,lt Is perfectly safe to predict .that 'there will be unprecedented Republican gains In erstwhile adamant Democratic strongholds south of the Mason and Dixon line. Arkansas undoubtedly will remain S Democratic State and will show a plural Ity for the Democratic nominee for Pres ldent But the Republicans are better equipped, financially and In organlza tion, than they over have been, and the Democrats are already fighting to avol? Stanley's fate In Kentucky. , Missouri, on the other hand, is rljo for a complete flop to Republicanism. The Democratic party in Missouri Js spilt so completely that the police have to be called when one of Senator Reed's men gpts Into an argum\nt with one of the Wllsonlan regulars. Also In Missouri the Republicans are well united despite the dissatisfaction of a certain rabid anti-Leag- of Nations faction that can not understand Senator Spencers mid. die of the road policy. Without Senator Reed and his 150,000 followers, the Dem ocrats cannot hope to win In Missouri. If he cannot be won back or If the regulars cannot bring themselves to em braco his standards, the Republicans should win hands down But to return to the. Solid South. There is only to be said that it is mill tho Solid South, but much thinner than it was four years ago. Defections from the Demo cratlo party have been disconcertingly numorous and for a variety of reasons. The sacrifice of domestic problems to in- ternational expediency is not the least of these. The cotton States cannot, without a lot of resentment, see their staple rot In the fields because the rail road administration cannot provide ade quate transportation. Southern Democratic leaders are loud In their protests that Republican Sena- tors have held up the vote on the peace treaty and the League of Nations that the country might suffer from the .lack of domestic legislation and thus create itl feeling against tae present Admlnls tratlon. Republican leaders declare that the present Administration Is Incapable of more efficient control of great public utilities and that It cloaks Its Ineptitude behind prolonged debate upon Interna tional matters. Be that as It may, the effect is certain. Democrats are deserting the Adminis- tration. \Whether they will flock back to Democracy under another leader, or In sheor desperation vote for a Renubtl can as they did In Kentucky, remains to be seen.
