FILLEY AND THE"LEADERS "

Our Uncle Filley is stirring the
K-rens- Hanna crowd up in a way
that is alarming to the pap suckers.
but very amusing to all other citi-
Gems, including the republicans who
are not permitted to get near the
trough. He talks of the pie distribu-
tors as ''leaders" and refers to them
"a pledge breakers ''instruction
b rakers," 'the ex convicts' and Gin
die ed leaders" "The Sixth district
republican press must be muzzled,
for it is speaking out in meeting and
demanding that Office brokerlng
boodlers should be suppressed and
no. put on guard in the future and
the party purified Of them in that
district. Then what will become OF
the so called leaders? Hanna aud
Kerens ought to at once look after
th,s or the leaders will be in the
p-nitentiary there, as some have
been recently indicted"
In answer to the charge that his
course is hurting the party he says;
''If I am hurting the party it will
knock the stuffing out of me when il
mex. has the opportunity, won't ii
Bat say: the ex convicss, the indicted
Ieaders,' the state and district in
e,ruction breakers and the individua
pledge breakers are not qualified
prosecutors nor jurors are they!"
The old man is evidently prett,
secure in his position and is no
afraid to GO before the republican
Of the state to have his case tried
but he is determined not to have an,
'sput up" jury on him
That trite old saying "whel

Common carelessness let's the cold

is the most efficient and reliable cure
for colds and coughs, and is con-

it reliable for the cure of colds, coughs, and

Lamar Democrat.

WOULD SUIT Us.
Lamar Democrat.
Some weeks ago the Democrat
mentioned Hon D A DeArmond as
a good man to succeed Governor
Stephens. His name was suggested
because the Democrat is ANXIOUS to
have the party hunt out some man
in everv way we'll equipped for the
high position, as well as one who is
popular with the people. Such a
man is found in the person of MIR.
DeArmond
Now come the BUTLER TIMES, the
Pleasant Hill Local, the Bolton Her
aid, the Stockton J"urnal, and other
good papers IN Mr.. DeArmond's
Congressional district, and protest
against any suggestion which would
take him out o. the halls Of Congress,
where he is rendering such valuable
service on behalf of his state and the
people generally.
The Democrat is no stickler. 1t is
satisfied that the democrats of Mr..
DeArmond's district should keep
him in congress as long as he wants
to stay and as long as they want
him to stay. But we still say he
would make good gubernatorial
timber, and would like to see him
governor
Well. how would Judge James B.
CAN'T suit you! He is a strong man
in every sense of the term, is broad
gauged, and popular. What the
Democrat wants, and what it is going
to insist on having, is a man fitted
to be Mssouri's Chief Executive.
Hon D. A. DeArmond and Judge
James b. CAN'T are fair samples of
the kind of man wanted
Now, what have our friendly ex.
changes got to say about that7
Judge Lay has written an open
letter to the democrats of the dis
trict in which he disclaims any in
tention of becoming candidate to
succsed himself It is a frank, open
avowal that he was unable to support
the disputed features of the Chi
cago platform and that he voted for
Palmer and Buckner, that he recog
nizes that he has no right to ask ol

the democratic party. Judge Lay
has the confidence and esteem of ths
people of Bates county, and tn,
members of the bar, without excep

to see YOU. He's been here nearly an
hour. Seems very much excited"
"What's the trouble, Howard? You

mer who ever lived was Jean Henri, the
famous tambour-major Of Emperor
Napoleon. One Of his feats was to play
on is Differentiated drums at the same
time. in so soft and harmonious man-
ner that, instead of having the deafen-
ing uproar that might have been ex-
pected, the effect was that of novel
