Kentucky Situation in Taft Campaign Amid Financial Fears
Senator elect Bradley warned of scarce funds in Kentucky as Taft seeks votes. Polls show mixed results with Republicans claiming edge in some districts and Democrats in others.

Taft tours Wheeling Parkersburg and Shelbyville, turning interruptions into rhetorical points about Democratic conduct.
