Bill AIdridge.

For twenty years the editor of the
Journal of agriculture has known pest
tiferous Bill of Moniteau. "Bill" was
member of the Grange and used the
organization to boost himself into polit-
ical office and thereby killed the order.
After running for nearly every office
from dog-catcher to representative be
was finally elected to the Legislature
but it was acknowledged by his friends
and his fo?s that he did not amount to
chill of BEANS" and was totally unfit
for the position. He is playing the
same old game in the Union that he
did with the Grange, which was de-
stroyed by pulling it into the political
mire of partisan politics. Bill has man
aged to work up his partisans in the
Monlteau County Union until he has
gotten the II to nominate a ticket of his
own. He also organized whathe term
ed Congressional Union and what
has all their scheming and wire work
ing been done for but simply to get
Bill the nomination for Congress on
so-called farmers ticket? The whole
scheme is a fraud and farmers ought to
have better sense tn an to allow polit-
zeal demagogue like A ldridge TO pull
the wool over their eyes and destroy
their Union which is the grandest or
organization in America. Bill writes
in his political hermaphrodite,w with 200
circulation weekly, as il he carried the
Monitenu County Union in his trous-
ers' pockets, but he will find when he
goes TO Sedalia with his schemes that
the members of the State Union will
sit down Oh him and his political meth
DDS SO hard that he won't have breath
enough left to run for anything. There
is not farmer in the 9th congressional
district with any self-respect or love
for the Farmers and Laborers' Union,
who will couutenance Bill Aldridge
after he has brought odium upon the
order by his sharp practices and his
wire-pulling to obtain political Office
through the organization, which is a
non-partisan, nou-political organiZa-
ton. The members of the Farmers
and Laborers' Union of the 9th district
ought to jump on Bill with both feet
and teach him once for all that he cam
not use their organization for his sell
fish purposes. The old grangers will
remember Bill. Sick the dogs on him
if he comes around begging for your
votes.
Bill Aldridge has been scheming,
wire-working, bull-dozing the Union
in Moniteau county for the past year
and has created disorder and practical
disruption of the order in that county.
He is nothing but the scissor editor of
a little partisan 4-page paper with
few hundred circulation; but he has
worked the farmer racket 80 tina after
years labor he has gotten few of
his relatives and friends together and
had himself nominated for Congress.
We advise our farmer friends in that
district to have good strong jackass
ready at their front gates and when
Bill comes around begging for their
votes let the ]. A. kick his political as
pirations into thin air. Bill is posing
as farmer, wears cowskin boots and
frayed pants for effect, but he Is moth
ing but political wire worker and all
things to all men if he can get their
support to feather his political nest.
Keep an eye on Bill, farmers of the
Sixth district; he will bear Watching
Journal Of agriculture.
