The legislative dispensary investi

no agreement had been made with
the Attorney General prior to his
pleading guilty as to what his fine
would be as far as lie knew; denied
paying any more than the 15,000
fine, and said any statement that he
paid more than this sum was untrue;
said he paid no sum for immunity as
had been insinuated; said the $5,000
fine was ail lie paid; knew nothing
about the compromises in any other
criminal^ cases, and knew nothing
about the Ansel board, P.lease board
or attorney general receiving any!

entitled to.
Towill ('ailed to Stand. j
The committee declined to excuse
John Hell Towi'l from testifying and
called him to the stand as the next
witness. He was a member of the 1
dispensary board of control in Ibot-i

Speaker Clark Says^rfiey Are Burn
ing Problems and Tliese Democrats
Will Tackle Boldly.
Speaker Champ Clark, a guest of
Frankfort, Ky., Saturday to the Ken
tucky legislature recited the record
by the Democratic party in congress.
“We have absolutely kept faith
with the people,’’ he declared to the
State legislators. “We have redeem
ed or are in process of redeeming
every promise made in order to win
the elections.”
Declaring that the tariff and the
question of trust control will over
shadow all other issues of the com
ing presidential campaign, Speaker
Clark said:
“It has been given out in a manner/
that seems authoritative that Presi
dent Taft proposes to veto any tariff
hills that we pass. We welcome the
issue. We do not believe it c»h be
blinked, postponed, minimized or
shunted out of the way. The present
Ttriff law realizes about $3 30,000,-
"()0 a year.
“It is estimated that every time
ene dollar goes into the pockets of
ihe tariff system about $5 goes into
Hie pockets of the tariff barons. This
being true, then the. high protective
tariff costs the people of this coun
try $ i ..'niO.oiiu.ibiO a year. It is a
gross outrage and cruelty upon the
' a x payers.”
1 Taking up the proposition of party
Hind pomilar progressive ness, Mr.
MTark declared the only way to
ebb-ve progress is at the hands of
