Prof. Vandiver has accepted the
challenge of the Jackson man to dis
cuss the financial question and says
he will meet the Jackson sound money
man at any town or city in the Four
teenth Congressional District. Now
here is a chance for Cape Girardeau
to secure a grand entertainment and
we suggest to the Jackson challenger
to name this city for the place OF such
debate. We have here a large hall
and if it will not hold the great mass
of people who want to hear such a de-
bate, then our court house grounds
could be utilized for that purpose, as
the weather is now warm enough for
outdoor speeches. Cheap railroad
rates en- also be secured to accOmmo-
date citizens of other counties who
would want to attend. The voters and
people generally r anxious to hear
and learn about the money question
and no other event would bring so
many people to this town as a public
debate on this subject between two such
champions of silver and sound money
as Prof. Vandiver and the eloquent
Jackson mar whose power on the stump
and in debate is so we'll known. We
hope our Jackson friend will name an
early date for the joint debate before
Prof. Vandiver can withdraw his ac-
ceptance of thechallenge, for it is gen.
orally thought here that the Profess
or's acceptance is a bluff and we as
sure our Jackson friend that no town
in this Congressional District would
furnish an audience more in sympathy
with his cause then will Cape Girar'
deau.

The Democratic bosses in this
county are cursing the Comet because
it did not tumble to their bait that
was coated over with a citizens ticket.
Now, the facts are as follows: The
Bosses feel that the rank and file OF
their party are slipping away from
them. They are disappointed and
defeated at every corner, and they
must do something to hold their voters,
and this was their plan. The CASH
Book has turned his toes to the daises

FOR STATE SENATOR.

The Republican convention OF Cape
Girardeau county did the right thing
when it instructed its delegates to the
Senatorial convention to vote for n.
G. Harrison.
For several years both parties in
this Senatorial District have paid lit
tie or no attention to the Senatorial
office and as "a result we have had
very sorry representation in the Upper
Hsuse of the Legislature.
Recognizing the Importance OF that
Office and believing that the time had
come when the people would rally to
the support of a man of brains and IA
man who would reflect credit upon the
people of the District they selected \.
G. Harrison as the man to represent
the people in the State Senate.
Mr.. Harrison is we'll known in this
section of the State. He served The

The jackson Cash-Boek is at its
old tricks again-trying to prevent
the Jackson saloon-keepers from get
ting their petitions filled. We all
know that there was drunken
ness in Jackson when there were no
saloons there than there is when the
saloons are open. The editor of the
Cash-Book is a prohibitionist who is
always making war on the liquor
traffic, yet he wants to make jackson
a blind tiger town.
