The Perryville Sun pays this hand
some and deserved compliment to one
of the Southeast's ablest Sons:
OF all the candidates for governor of Mis-
souri,, Martin L. Clardy is doing the least in
the way of canvassing for the nomination.
He is not skurrying around over the State
for the purpose of whooping up the boys,
nor does he go on junketing expeditions in
order to attract the attention of the people
of the State, but is unostentatiously attend
ing to his duties as chairman of the third
most important committee in the popular
branch OF Congress. Clardy is to-day very
| near the top in the House of Representatives
and the people of the whole State should feel
proud of the distinguished representative
| from the tenth congressional district. There
is nothing of the political prodigy about Mr..
Clardy, nothing of the phenomenal in his
| political career. But when we consider his
development from an obscure country attor-
ney, elected to Congress from a district in
that heretofore Iabooed section of the State,
the Southeast, into a statesman of such ac-
knowled gcd ability that he is given the third
place of honor and distinction among the
direct representatives of fifty millions of
people, we must candidly confess that he
has fairly won the right to occupy high
place in the esteem and affection of the peo-
pie of the State from which he halls. Mr..
Clardy, it is true, may not attempt to secure
the nomination; the prevalent opinion that
a Southeast man cannot secure the nomina-
tion may be accepted by him, but until such
a resolution on his part is definitely known,
the Southeast should remain solid for her
distinguished son, who to-day is the most
pominent Missourian in the halls Of the lower
house of Congress.

We cordially endorse every word o

We cordially endorse every word of
the following paragraph, taken from
the Hillsboro Democrat of last week:
We recognize the fact that Judge Carter is
fine lawyer and good citizen, but we do
not understand why certain of his friends
persist in trotting him out for office every
time any one else in this section is spoken of.
Judge Dining has been announced for
months as a candidate for Judge of the Court
of Appeals, and if there is a man, woman or
child in Southeast Missouri, who can say
aught against his fitness for the position, we
have never heard of it. There is no excuse
for the Southeast not uniting on him If it
can ever unite on anybody; but lately some
of the smart ones have been calling upon
Judge Carter to run, as if he was the last
and only available man in this part of the
State. 1t Is not done with hope of seeing
Judge Carter successful. The same game
has been played before and the result is
known to everybody, who has any interest
in the matter.

am very much gratifed to find that there
are so many things said in different parts of
the state complimentary to Maj. Dennis cam
didacy for Attorney General. He is fine
lawyer, an affable gentleman, a correct
thinker and faithful attorney. He never
neglects anybody's business but his own.
Adding to these above qualities as he does, a
high sense of moral obligations, he is emf.
nently qualified for the position he seeks.
Although he has figured somewhat in local
politics, he is in no sense politician. He is
altogether too modest a man to get far into
the political arena. Heretofore he has con-
tented himself with simple announcement
of his candidacy. This time hope he will
push his claims and win.

The Wheelers of Stoddard county are about
to have division as to which newspaper,
the Bloomfield Vindicdtor or PuxicoErpreSs,
is their official organ.-Greenville Journal.
What need have they of an "official
organ?" There is not a paper any
where in any county that will refuse to
give publicity to all that this or any
other organization desires the people
to know. An "official organ" is nearly
always time-server and, for that rea-
son, not trustworthy at all times.
