Any one who has read the platform
adopted at st. Louis, knows such to be
untrue, and an attempt to make such
an impression is unworthy great
Senator from great state.
His last argument concerning
revolution if Bryan should be elected
sounded very much like the threats
OF the slave holders, and their north.
ern allies in 1856 and 1860.
No one is talking revolution today
except the gold standard men, and
their allies the Herr Mosts. England
has made some threats we believe, as
she did in the days before the war,
when her cotton trade was likely to
be hurt. Such argument sounds
strange coming from such a man as
Senator Burrows.
If the Senator gave the great ingre-
dents of Republican medicine, then
your protection has been tried and
has been found wanting. Your gold

A Rally That Did Not Come Off.

A Rally That Did Not Come Off.
Some four years ago the Repub-
licans of Caldwell imported a Bohe-
mian speaker from Oklahoma City by
the name Of Antoine Caha and with
him and the free use of cigars and
liquor expected to change some OF
the votes. Caha made his speeches
and Dragged that the Republicans
had promised him good Office for
the work but as usual that promise
was never fulfilled but instead about
two months later he was convicted of
perjury in the United States court
and given a two years term in the
penitentiary.
This time they billed Caldwell and
Bluff townships for agraud Bohemian
rally and promised the citizens a
great treat in speech to be delivered
by "HOn. RObt. Rose, of Chicago, one
of the most noted Bohemian orators
of the day." He was to speak in
Bluff the 10th and Caldwell the 18th
of September.
Before that date however the Amer
lean, a Bohemian paper published in
Chicago, advertised the scoundrel and
then followed letters to a number of
prominent BOhemians informing them
OF his disreputable character.
That vagabond has gone under the
name of Rujicka, Krodeska and Rose
and has been employed by the Repub-
licans at $40 per week and expenses to
lie and deceive the Bohemians into
voting themselves into bondage. IT
Is charged that he squandered his
wife's fortune on lude women and
then deserted her and his two child.
ren in Prague, Austria. After this he
took up with a Chinese show, became
Intimate with one OF the women, rob.
bed the show and ran of with the
woman whom he afterward abandoned
leaving her destitute In Hamburg.
He then came to New York under the
assumed name Of Krodeska where he
worked for a time on q Bohemian
paper but was soon discharged. He
then commenced swindling people
and attempted TO elope with young
girl, but was 50 closely pressed that
he was frustrated In his desires and
lied to Chicago. He there started a
commission house and handled farm
products. After getting considerable
produce he wrote his patrons that
their consignments had been de-
stroyed by fire and he swindled them
out OF several thousand dollars. In |
Chicago he lived with a Poland Slo. |
Vanian woman.
The letters close by denouncing
him as thief and scoundrel and
the BOhemians 10 give him
what he deserves and make him
cave the country.
The Republicans OF Caldwell
earned Of those letters. and that
tale eggs were in great demand Just
hen among the Bohemians of Cald-
veil and Bluff townships and wisely
determined to not let let their man
how up. The people down there are
Inxious to know who furnished the
nJney to bring that foul being into
his county, Hanna or Tuttle?
The VOICE CLEANS these facts from
he BOhemians themselves.
He was also billed for Valverde
Ownship, but did not show up there
ither.
