campaign rally at the court house
Friday night. ,
In The absence of Mr.. Boutwell,,
Lewis Hoffman acted
ID chairman.
Calling the meeting 10 order, the
hartman after stating that the object
f he assembly was to review the
"a u paien situation. introduced as the
Eirs, speaker E. j. Smith. Smith
ii H. I have much to say. He showed
dearly that he was of few days and
full Of trouble.
II have observed no personal at
tack made sgainst the democrats
either by the republican organ or BY
any individual OF our party.
Tnis is what Mr.. E. j. Smith said
Fr day night.
Smith had no 80, ner made this con.
tes.ion than be followed it up with
another bad break. He stated
positively that the Infamous
"Dildine Dream" was neither a
personal attack nor . campaign affair.
Then Smith sat down, much to the
qualification of the steering commit
tee, and evidently conscious Of bis
signal failure to make an impression.
The chairman Of the steering COM
mit.ee after apologiziog for the small
number present by accusing the dem
ocr Is of stealing the hand bills cir
culated by the republicans to an
nounce the meeting, introduced j.
d Crawford, who after speaking a
few words announced that Z. F. Bal
lev desired to be submitted in his
place d he had to leave.
Mr.. Bailey was enthusiastically
cheered when he came to the floor.
Denouncing the chsrges pre-.
ferred against him by the BAzoo
without attempting to exonerate HIM
self Bailey said, ''you ell know me.
You know where 60 and what l do.
You know the attacks against me
are false.
l do not claim that I am perfect,
but 90 far a. the accusations made
against me during this campaign are
concerned, they are absolutely with
out foundation.
The BAzoo says there ar, houses
of prostitution in Sedalia. Tnen why
were the officers not informed?
Houses of prostitution, if they ex'
lat among us should pay something
| l am q real estate agent and it have
been able to get anything out ofther,
I think I deserve credit.
have never visited such houses,
| either here nor elsewhere. Neither
have l ever eeen but one lewd woman
| to know her, and she was pointed ou
| to me on the street.
l have been told that several par
ties Of my own political sf6liation
are 6ghtiag because I am in tavor o
home interests, of giving Sedalia L.
Dor to Sedalia laborers. Now. l wan
to say that if you dou's want . mayo
Who is in favor Of such . policy, don
ell. CT me-"
The people won't Brsr Bailey, don
be alarmed.
Do the voters of Seda'ia believe tbs
any ono in our midst il such fool a
to have msde such . statemeu
a this! Isn't it possible that tn
lepeaker, like oil who followed hin
established fictitious premises an
drew conclusions that would enabl
him to make . point in bis favor!
| J. D. Crawford then reviewed th
situation of affairs during his admir-
ist. alton % mayor Of Sedalia.
The policies Mr.. Crawford pursued
acc riding to his own confession, wei
q good deal like the boy who save
his life by not swallowing pins.
Next Henry Lamm spoke. d
. talked mighty long. Oh, 90 veI
long. It seemed like days. He sai
. that the democratic organs of the tow
| had insinuated that Judge Bliley
wife s'iodulged in b,chanalian reve
ries with her husband afier he had
turned home u night from bis car
paign wassails:"
None but Mr.. Lamm ever saw sue
: an ipsinuation in print.
P. D. Hsstain. the "pride of Mi
souri,, concluded the exercises with
"A color ;oke-ope aide from beiI
obiectional by reason of its characte
vss 10 moth-saten that it reeembl'
q 10 republican thought.
