Be not misled by personal attacks secretly made on the Democratic ‘nominee, for political purposes, on the eve of election. Treat them as 'false, for C. C.

The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s pa- per, speaking of the coming special election, says: “The special election in the Sixth Missouri congressional district to choose a successor in congress to the late David DeArmond, will take place February 1. C. C. Dickinson comes highly recommended by those who know him intimately. His public rec- ord is clean and his private life above reproach. “The voters of the Sixth Missouri district ought to go to the polls in full force and give Mr. Dickinson that large majority to which his good character and principles entitle him. His opponent is not in sympathy with reform measures and, if elected, may fairly be expected to become a sup- porter of Cannon and Cannonism. “Mr. Dickinson, unlike his oppo- nent, is williug to tell the people where he stands on all public ques- tions. Unlike his opponent he may be depended upon to labor for the public interests."’ Ina letter recently written to The Commoner, Mr. Dickinson says: “T concur with Hon, William J, Bryan in his views upon the tariff, and especially do I agree with him that a platform is a pledge, to be kept and not violated, and that a consistent regard for party pledges is the safest rule. I favor a law revising the tariff downward in the interest of the west and the masses everywhere. Cannonism must end and a fair op- }portunity given for the enactment of just laws. The republican party should go out of power, and the trend | toward centralization cease."’ Mrs. E. P. Powers Dead. Mrs. Eugenia P. Powers died at her home in this city Wednesday af- jternoon, after a protracted illness. Funeral services will be conducted from the family residence by Rev. J. {R.

Suppose your wish should be granted. what would you do?” ‘Why,’ stammered the lad, ‘‘the first thing I would do, sir, would be to get you out of the poorhouse.’’ The senator laughed and sent the boy back to his work.
