The above from the editorial col- umns of Bro. Funk's standpat publi- cation is a fair sample of the char- acter of dope being dispensed by publications of like stripe and calibre throughout Missouri, and will be read by all intelligent voters to the detri- ment of the principles espoused by the writers thereof. The statement HON. LAWRENCE M. GRIFFITH | Who has faithfully and ably repre-| sented Bates county in the General | Assembly for two terms, is asking a nomination of the Democrats of the | Sixteenth senatorial district. Mr. Griffith's legislative experience puts him in line for the higher duties of senator for which he is well fitted by ability and temperment. He possesses considerable oratorical talents and for years has madé@a_ study of the ve needs of his pe He— FOSTER. Prof. H. 0. Maxey, candidate for Circuit Clerk, was in Foster Thurs- | day.

CHASTAIN, sm vither in ignor- ance so dense that the opinions and views of the writer should be giv- en nocredence or is a deliberate mis- representation of facts and an insult to the intelligence of the American voter. We are inclined to believe that Bro. Funk is. not so ignorant of the basic principles of the recognized political parties that he isn’t aware of the fact that no_ political party of im- portance in the United States has ever stood for free trade. party stands upon a platform of tariff for revenue only, and is opposed to a tariff for the protection of our so-call- ed “‘infant’’ industries, already so overgrown and powerful that they not only cry their defiance to the United States government, but braz- enly direct the policies of the admin- istration. Misrepresentation has al- ready cost your party dearly, Mr. Republican Editor, in the Sixth Mis- souri, in Massachusetts and in New York, and the voters who have had no opportunity to offer a rebuke for your unredeemed pledges of 1908 are going to show their displeasure this fall and again in 1912. But the Republican party seems not to be able to read the handwriting on the wall, and Bro. Funk and others of his ilk, who saw the men they had help to elect deliberately violate, at the commands of the monied inter- est, the fair promises they had made while begging to be allowed to cor- rect their mistakes of the past, are now glorying in the shame of their broken pledges, and drunken with the power, given in good faith by the American people, not only defiantly proclaim that it is the best tariff we ever had, but attempt by misrepre- sentation to discredit the Democratic party. The time is past, Mr. Republican Editor, when the voter will blindly ac- cept either your pledges or your Statements, and if you hope to regain any of the ground you have lost you must tell the truth. T. DAN’ EMBREE, Another old Bates snag 4 boy to the manor born, is asking the endorse- ment of his conduct of the circuit clerk's office by a re-nomination. is stating the facts but mildly to say has made a very efficent and popular clerk. 7 i i devotion to duty he | the interests of all the litigants in that | court. There is no man in the whole ; county pe Lage Sey fore esti- mation people. He has always the confidence | The Democratic | s been a citizen of Rich Hill from ‘arly boyhood; by industry, adapta- bility and ability he succeeded in the mercantile business, from the hum- blest beginning. He was elected mayor of his city and was responsi- ble for many municipal reforms. Mr. Griffith is a young gentleman of high character, worthy and competent, and would ably represent the district in the State Senate. JOE T. SMILH. It would be mighty hard for a newspaper to say anything compli- imentary of Joe Smith that is not al- ready known to the people of Bates county, where he was born of good old southern Democratie stock, pio- neers of the west, and where he has spent his whole life, loyal to his friends and his principles and devot- ed to his county and state. © Joe is one of those hale and happy souls who has spread sunshine along the way, accommodating to everyone, generous toa fault, hot-headed and quick to resent a wrong and equally quick to give credit toa generous or noble deed. He made a very popular and efficient sheriff, performed his duties at all times as he saw them, and always had the courage of his convictions. He would make a very popular candidate and perform his duties to the satisfaction of all. CARL J HENRY Announces as a candidate for Pro- bate Judge on the Democratic ‘ticket. He is a young attorney of ability and great promise. A son of the late Hon. A. Henry, who held a high place at the bar, represented the county in the General Assembly and was prom- inently considered for Congress, Mr. Henry inherits his father’s fighting ualities and political faith. le was lected and served acceptably as city attorney for two terms. He has been from his majority an active Demo- \cratic worker, is a young gentleman of high character, accommodating ,and very popular. He is in every way | well qualified for the office to which jhe Caving would make a strong candidate on the ticket and a very ' efficient official.

Mr. and Mrs. John Reed left on the east bound passenger Sunday for Bloomfield, Iowa, to visit relatives. D. C. Mize, candidate for Recorder, was an arrival on the west bound passenger Sunday. Mrs. J.

Miss Pear] Badgett departed Thurs- day for Kansas City. Attorney Carl Morris, who has been one of Uncle Sam’s detectives for several years, returned last week from Kansas City, where he had beed | as a legal counsel in the Hyde case. As the jury stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction, Hyde, no doubt, owes the saving of his scalp to Carl's eloquence.
