Dec. 1-Governor Brad ley ttlrred op a hornetVt nest when h announced Sunday that be would appoint hs daughter, Miss Christine, spofMer for th new hattieshlp Kentucky and that ah would break a bottle ovor ts prow when It is launch fd next Jantaarr. About a year ago commotion was created In the W. C. T. U. by the publication of story stating that Ujs Hrntle Ban. bridge Rlchardeon would break a bottl of Kentucky whiskey over th prow est th Kentucky when it waa launched. Ps Uton poured into Secretary Herbert, praying that h would not allow whiskey to be used for christening the vessel Now the whole matter a brought 'op again by Governor Bradley declarmt; h.l intention at choosing his own danghttr to christen the ship. Miss Richardson is angry over the de clared Intention of Governor Bradley and has given out the following signed state ment to the public: "I am urged to speak of the discourtesy t have been shown n this maUer by Governor Bradley, stating that he would appoint his daughter to christen the Ken tucky. I also object to the manner in which h and his frieidj have gone about securing the appointment of bis daughter. When I was asked by Secretary Herbert te christen the Kentucky, r was ky that honor placed before the . public 1 re ceived hundreds f corMr-atuHtlons from patriotic Kent uck ions, the highest officers of the army and nayy and from my friends everywhere. The administration, of course, ha changed.: and Secretary Herbert Is not now In office. "I have felt In the matter that 1 had a right to christen th battleship, and It would be M act of discourtesy to have the honor changed. When- Oovernor Bradley takes th lau-vl from my head and places It upon that of his daugh ter. Just because be thinks he has th power to do so, I blush for the discourt esy of the governor of Kentucky." WILL PO NOTHING. Chairman Walker Says There s No Show for Currency Reform. Chicago. Dec. 2.
