David R. Francis is | \ re a bright. well-balanced, brave, ener-. | Who Shall the Farmers Support for | getic, self-made man and deserves | \ tall the honors that can be bestowed | upon him. He is honest, and we be: | lieve, incorruptible and thoroughly | capable, and we have no hesitancy | in saying that he is by iar the best | man, fro: the farmer's standpoint, | of those who sre now standing for | gubernatoris: honors in the demo- eratie party. If Jol::: O'Day is against Francis, as our correspondent states, this would be reason enough for the writer to yote for him and urgently advise all the friends of the farmers to do likewise. In reference to Mr. Francis being an option dealer, we know he is a member of a commission house, one of the most influential in the west, and we understand his firm buys and sells grain as dealers and on commis- sion for any one who applies. But that the firm is a speculative one, in the general acceptance of the term, as being one which bets on the price of grain without intending to receive the grain if bought, or to deliver it ifsold for future delivery, we are authoritatively advised that such is not the case. The house is a large receiver of grain shipped from the country, and one of the largest pur- chasers as well as about the largest carrier of cash grain in the St. Louis Governor? Editor Journal of Agriculture. | Ihave been a reader of the Jour- nal of Agriculture for more than! ten years. I learned to respect your judgment in matters of which you profess to know something, and es- | pecially do I honor your integrity and fearlessness of utterance. As | the editor of a representative agri- | cultural paper I wish to ask you, in |@ private way, concerning a matter er farmers, as well as good citizens generally. The sentiment of the peo- ple of this part of Missouri is largely in favor of D. R. Francis for gov- ernor. Recently, however, John M. Glover and certain papers have made charges against Mr. Francis, which he emphatically denies. But what Iam most desirous of knowing is, whether Mr. Francis is an option dealer in grain as is charged? What do St. Louis people think of his ad- ministration as mayor? Now as to Hon. Mr. Glover. His action in leaving his place in con- gress, neglecting his duties here, is any influence in that direction. Mr. Morehouse’s possible ineligi- bility and his pardoning Emmett King are objections to him. His in- consistency with regard to the let- ter of the law in his own case and the spirit of the law in connection with the $8,000 agricultural appro- priation, indicates a principle that should not be overlooked. Mr. Francis’ friends claim that there are indications of a combina- tion between Giover and Morehouse, backed by railroad influences. Noth- ing of this kind suits us farmers. It is claimed of Mayor Francis that the saloon element, the ward politicians and the railroad influence, through John O’Day,are working for his defeat, which, if true, is a good sign. We voters know no candidates personally. We know of them only by hearsay. The editors of the coun- ty press profess to know them. We do not know the editors any better than we do the candidates. If all agree that a man is fit or unfit for office, we can do no more than ac- cept it. But when the editors dis- agree, we are at sea. Hence, as be- fore stated, my confidence in your integrity and love of justice is my reason for appealing to you for in- formation. Ihave no ax to grind either for myself or friends. I sim- ply wish to know how to vote for the best interests of our grand and great state. I write this late at night af- ter laboring 12 or 14 hours.
