The time of the gentleman from Kentucky has again expired. In view of what I said on this and previous occasions. it is utterly beyond my comprehension how the editor can find warrant for his statement that I am "considerably peeved over the prospect of losing the citizenship of such persons as might come to Kentucky if they were not influenced by these posters to stay away." or. for the further statement. that "he (I) deplore the fact that the immigrants do not hasten to Kentucky ". and when the editor says. dr seeks to leave the impression. as he does. that I want Kentucky to get " the riffraff which drifts in from southwestern Europe" he simply makes a gratuitous misrepresentation of my attitude. and for the protection of their friends and the public generally. I trust that his employers will insist hereafter that he either keep posted on current events or make some inquiry as to the facts before delivering himself of such wild and reckless comments. that are utterly without foundation in fact. I welcome criticism of my views and actions as a representative of the people. because such criticisms are oftentimes helpfill to public men. but there is a vast difference between criticism actuated by honorable motives and a desire to be truthful and fa ir and that which masquerades as criticism. but which is in reality bald misrepresentation.
