Brace, The biggest campaign opening the etate has ever known, is in progress at Springfield to-day. Mr. Folk and Lhe other state nominees »peak in Uhe afternoon and Mr. Bryan at night. ———_—_—- We are in receipt of an invitation to national editorial conference, com- posed of the editors of the United States who are favorable to the election of Parker and Davis, in New York City, September 7th and 8tb. committee to be named by this conference will convey to Judge Par- ker, at Esopus, by speech or resolu- tion an expression of their sentiment concerning the favorable manner in which his nomination has been re- caived and assurances of support of the candidates and the principles ot which he is the exponent. Harry B. Hawes’ course in cheer fully accepting the decision of the Democratic state convention and «iving the nominees hearty support, has won the admiration and esteem of Democrats all over the state and Las made bim many friends, Tar Times heartily endorses the action of the county central committee in inviting him to this county to speak and we hope he will come at an early date and we assure him a learty welcome, Our readers should again be re- minded that there are now 476 Presi- dential Electors, and to gain the presidency a nominee must secure 289, or more than half. Thirteen States are deemed secure for the Democratic candidate, and seven- teen for the Republican, which leaves fifteen doubtful. Whether New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and Wisconsin belong to the list of doubtful states every reader must decide tor himeelf. The leaders of both parties claim fhem all.—Ex. William G. Choate, of New York, senior member of the big law firm of which his brother Joseph H. Choate, embassador from this country to England, fs a partner, and a life- Jong repubtlean, last week shook up political circles in the east by an- nouncing that he would not support Roosevelt for the presidency. He objects to what he regards as a dis- regard of the plainest provisions of the constitution by the head of the preseut administration and is telling his friends that all upholders of that {ustrument should vote for Judge Parker.—Ex. —eaGeE Here is a great living truth from the Sedalia Democrat. It is just as good policy for Butler as it is for Sedalia. Our business men should read and adopt the plan suggested. Don’t waitfor your competitor or your neighbor to bring trade to your door. Dosome hustling for your- self. The Democrat says: “Every business man in Sedalia should begin the policy of continuous, intelligent, jndicious advertising. This policy would certainly largely increase the retail trade of the city, and would of itself create a business boom. The appearance of o firm’s advertlee- ment, even if the firm has no compe- tition, will Increase the firm’s trade, for the advertisement suggests to the newspaper reader the need of a cer- tain article—a need that might ueith- or be felt nor supplied butfor thesug- gestion thus made. Advertising hae made the odes department stores in ~} cles never ereated the revolution in “THAT ANONYMOUS FARMER i? BR YAN AT B nt TLER. Several years ago before the Bates County Union had metamorphosed into the Pree Press, and then into the Republican-Press, a Smart Alec in Butler attempted to fool the far- mer in eserios of articles over the signature of “Uncle John.” Now, it would not do to locate “Unele John” in Butler, in proxinilty to that offices. = he was weodegge aes Cornland. ani poor coulis of “U ~n John” in a “Farmer” located at Hume. While “Uacle John’s” arti- county politics that the author and publisher hoped for, the articles did possess some merit from a literary view, and furnished some amusement for the reader. The bungling coun- terleit presented by ‘“Farmer’’ pre- sents neither the merit to entertain orinstruct, but the whole object eeems to be to confuse the mind of the reader by questions and sugges- tions that a ten-year-old Bates county boy would deserve punish- ment for advancing. “Farmer” is pretending to ana- lyze the Financial Statement of Bates county for 1903-4, as published this spring, butinstead ofa broad-guaged analysis and pointing out wherein the money of the people had been misappropriated or squandered, or unwisely used, this critic writing over a ta'se and misleading non de plume, contents himeelf by picking out the large amounts as they appear in the statement, and endeavor to cast sus- picion, by complaining that every item in the bills ought to be set out. When Tue Tres, in all fairness, call- ed attention of “Farmer” to the fact that every bill allowed by the court is set out in minute detail, and is scrutinized by each member of court, and after allowance is filed away by the county clerk and open to inspection at any time to any tax payer, or citizen of Bates county, that individual comes back witha plea that we are trying to make ex- cuses and get away from answering his questions. Every man who ever did any bus!- ness with the state, county, town ship, school district, city or towa, or any other incorporated body, knows that when a bill is presented to any of these bodies, that the items are added up anda warrant drawn for the total, and that the amounts of these warrants are set forth in a statement of the year’s business. We affirm that this fe the universal eva- tom, known to all business men and “Farmer” is making himeelf abso- lutely ridiculous in thus questioning @ universal and practical business custom. Now, 8 word to “Farmer” as an anonymous writer, no one believes you are a farmer, or that you live noar Hume, but that you are much closer to the Republican-Press office. An anonymous writer, when he en- deavors to injure an individual or party and thus hides behind the cloak of secrecy to cover his coward- ice, 1s despicable to all men. If “Far- mer” thinks “Jake Allen wants to avoid a controversy” of this nature let him come out over his own name, ina manly straight forward way and we promise to treat him court- eously and endeavor to answer any question he may ask that is fair and of a public nature for his own or the peoples enlighteumoent. Mr. Bryan, in private conversa- tion, said, respecting Hill’s an- nouncement that he would retire permanently from polities on Janu- ary lst, ’05, that he (Bryan) would like to ask for unanimous consent for the gentleman to retire. Rich Farmer Threatened. Mowequa, Ill., August 28.—John Prescott @ wealthy Chistian County farmer found tacked to hisfront door yesterday morning @ letter demand- ing that $500 be taken to @ certain tree at midnight under penalty of having his house and barn burned if he failed tocomply. Theauthorities are making an effort to find the writer. The letter was aslgned “Death.” ¢ A Lynching in Wyoming. Laramie, Wyo., Aug. 29.—Joseph Martin, o , was lynched by a mob of men in frontof Judge ‘s house at 8 o'clock to- night, “Martin was a trusty in the county jail. He attacked a white girl, Delia Crouse, in the jafl kitchen and slashed her face and arms with a knife. Six men were injured by PF oat the prtaoner, Mares ssrng Tl Yl nol He on me Greeted by an.Audience Esti-| mated . From 5,000 | te 6008. juve sons Why th the Democratic Nominees Should be Supported. Willlam Jennings Bryan was greet- ed by.an immense audience on Mon- day afternoon, variously estimated at from 5,000 to 8,000 people. He spoke from a platform erected at the northeast corner of the court house and for an hour anda halt held the undivided attention of his hearers It there had been any doubt as to what his attitude would be on the ticket and nominees, they were speed- ily dispelled, for in his own inimitable manner, he gave forceful and logcal reasons why the Democratic nom- inees and platform should be sup- ported. He said if any Democrat was dis- satisfied with any plank in the plat- form, if he would compare it with the corresponding plank in ‘the Republi- can platiorm, he would find {it so much b. tter that he would accept the Democratic plank and conclude that it was pretty good. He heartily en- doreed Judge Parker’s views on the Philippine question and condemned the military and imperialistic views and expressions of Mr. Roosevelt, He paid a glowing tribute to Mr, Folk and reminded his hearers that the boodle issue which had been fore- ed to the front inthis state by Mr. Folk’s honest and courageous per- formance of official duty had attract- ed the attention of the world and the honor and credit of the state de- manded his election by an over- whelming majority. He also reminded that the balance of the ticket was running upon the same plat!srm and no part could be defeated without at least a partial repudiation of that platform. He paid a high tribute to our able representative in Congress, Judge DeArmond, and challenged any one ‘to find in the records of congress, during his twelve years service, a vote or speech from Lim that was not in the interest of the diusses of the people. He ssid that Judge DeAr- mond’s record showed that while he did not endeavor to assist his con- stituents in robbing other people, he did try to prevent others from get- ting their hands into the pockets of his constituents. Mr. Bryan’s speech was well receiv- ed and will have a good effect in qui- eting the argument made to his friends and admirers that he is not earnestly supporting Judge Parker and the platform. Las Vegas, N. M., Aug. 28.—Geo. | P. Monoy of Mississippi, was nominat- ed for delegate to congress to-day by the Territorial Democratic conven- tion. The vote was: Monsy, 117; Jerry Simpson, 36. The convention adopt- ed resolutions declaring for single statehood. Jerry Simpson Tured Down. Las Vegas, N. M., Aug. 27.—Geo. P. Money was nominated for dele- gate to Congress by the territorial Democratic conveation yesterday. The vote stood: Money, 117; Jerry Simpson, 36. The convention adopt- ed resolutions declaring for single statehood. Black Leg in Missouri. Columbia, Mo., Aug. 25.—An ep!- demic of black leg has broken out in several herds of cattle belonging to farmers near Hinton, nine miles north of here, and there have been several deaths of blooded cattle. The disease is 80. widely distributed and is in such an Advanced stage that a heavy loss is anticlpated before it can be checked. i One Hundred Die in a Fire.

While the spe- cial train trom this city will be the largest party on the road, the excur- sions running to Springfield from the surrounding country will swell the attendance wonderfully. “Springfield is particularly fortun- ate in having trains seheduled in such shape that visitors need not stay over night toattend thecelebra- tion.
