I don't want to say anything about politics or whether the course of the administration had anything to do with the recent vote in Kentucky. The labor vote in Covington had something to do with it, though it did not effect us much in Louisville. Prohibition hurt us some. The democrats are all white, and the niggers all vote the republican ticket and none of them would vote for prohibition. There is a strong prohibition feeling in Kentucky and local option in two-thirds of the state. There was dissatisfaction with local candidates in some quarters, which cut down the vote.
