Mr. Wood, in a lengthy letter, among other things, says: “I am not a politician, have no ax to grind and seek no pie—as a citizen in the ranks, my desire is simply for pure government and the public good in state and nation. There are times when a man stands as an issue in himself. Such is my belief in the present campaign for Governor in Missouri—Mr. Folk stands for an issue which he has made. The means employed for blacken- ing the name of Mr. Folk need not surprise anyone. The dust and dirt and mud in the air was to be expect- ed.
