| Oesterle of MiddlebroOk, has recently
opened a shoe store at 1920 Manchester
| Avenue, St. Louis, and indications

cess. Mr.. Oesterle has been in the

We we're shown a tax receipt this
valuation of $1400 the state and county
taxes were 5000. The state and
county tax on the ame valuation now
would be less than SO, and the assess

higher, than they are to-day. Ard the.
Republicans who are yelping about
seeing the books. We ask them to go
to the courthouse and see the Textbook
for shat year. Then they a see how
the Republicans kept the books. We
hardly believe the good people of Iron
county want to return to the system
then employed.

The RICHTER last week stated that
W. d. Bay, Republican nominee for
Prosecuting Attorney, had in a recent
speech declared that Congress could
change the Constitution at will. Mr..
Bay publishes a letter this week deny
ing that he ever made such a state
meut. The REGISTERS informant was
VIM. Hackworth, a ~well-known citizen
of Des Arc, who told the editor that
Bay made the assertion referred to in
a speech al Des Arc; Mr.. Hackworth
further said hat after the speaking he
talked to Bay in reference 10 the mat
ter and that Bay insisted Congress did
have power to change the constitution.
1t is neither the desire o the policy
OF the REGISTER TO misrepresent any
one. In v~erifcatIon of the REGISTERS
statement Mr.. Hackworth sends the
following letter:
Ed. RegiSter-I am told that w. d.
Bay denies thai he said that Congress
has power to change the Constitution"
Mr.. Bay certainly did make this state
ment in my hearing as / a prove by
creditable witnesses, among others Mr..
o. c.. Morris of Des Arc. If necessary
| am willing to make affidavit to the
statement herein made.
