The Bingham papers uddenly withdrew support of the Democratic nom- nee on the Saturday preceding the election on Tues- iay. During the time the Ku Klux Klan was active in Kentucky, the papers denounced it as “un-Ameri- an and unpatriotic.” On this Saturday night Bing- ham learned that the Democratic nominee had been affiliated with the Klan during the campaign but had resigned. He immediately notified the nominee that he would not support him. The candidate resigned and Joseph T. O’'Neal was named by the Democratic committee. Three days later O'Neal polled a large vote. A contest was entered in the state courts on the ground that the Republican candidates were given a majority by corrupt and fraudulent practices. The State's highest tribunal, the Court of Appeals, reversed a finding of a lower court and held “no-election.” The opinion unseated forty-nine Louisville and nine Jetfer- son county officials. | In the next senatorial election the editorial columns of The Courier-Journal, which had been democratic for many years, announced it would not support Sena- tor A. O. Stanley, Democrat, who was up for re- election. Support was given the Republican nominee, Frederic M. Sackett, who was elected.

THE PRESIDENT AND Bl The special session of Congress is drawing to a close, adjournment being planned for this week, and the major achievement of the session appears on the surface to have been the passage of housing legisla- tion aimed to aid the building industry. The wage and hour measure is forecast to be lost in the shuffle as Congress seems far from agreement on even its general outlines. Revised farm legislation is reported to have a fair chance for action. But aside from the actual legislation enacted, the special session of Congress apparently has accom- plished one worthwhile result. It appears to have brought an understanding between big business and the Administration. Just how far reaching the under- standing may be remains to be seen.
