CALEDONIA, Oct. sth, 1900.
Mr.. Editor:
l will send you a pineknot for
the campaign fire; we don't want
the fire to go out until we have
burned up all the old brush heaps
where the voter can hide. Yes,
and want to look in the woodpile
for tie African, too.
see some of the north end is
not pleased with the way the con-
vent;on did in regard to the candi-
dates; that is; l saw this in the In
dependent; but l don't believe a
Republican wrote it. l think some
Democrat dictated it, for it is one of
their old tricks to deceive the Re-
publicans under the disguise of
Republican. They imagine the
Republicans will run from them if
they only make noise enough. Our
Democratic friends seem to think
that if they can cause blaze among
the Republicans they can run off
with the officesby theIight they haye
created, and, possibly, get away
with some more of the state school
funds at the same time. But /
don't think they will get any of
their ''heaven- born" statesmen out
Of this county this year. We caa't
afford to send such men to Office
from here, they can't even make u
good road law. We wonder what
the majority in the present legisla-
|ture was doing when they permit
ted the minority () to pass our
present road law, and those other
laws which the people find so OBJ
noxious. They must have been
busy hunting up the paymaster to
get their protested warrants cash
ed.
The Republicans want to look
ont for the Democratic candidates
who are going about with their
mouths full of promises as to what
they will do for Republicans if
they will only help elect them to
Office, who, when they get in,
only tell us that they ''have no
wood to chop just now"
We hear the Democrats blowing
that they will elect Bryan this time
sure. The trouble with them is
they have been blowing SO long
that they have blown all their
teeth out SO they can't bite pros
peritv grub. By electing Bryan
they hope to get back to free soup
housesand drink soup, lay in the
grass and say, "We told you if
we got Bryan we would not have
to work any more"
Now fellow Republicans, don't
be hoodooed by Democratic bait,
but vote your ticket straight.
Yours for expansion,
BILDAD.

The Republic says that "when
FIory and Dalton make statements
the people turn to Dockery for the
truth" Does Dockery tell the
truth9 For instance, the latter
made a statement in Potosi last
Friday saying that the people Mis-
souri, we're taxed only 10 cents on
the hundred dollars, yet every tax
receipt issued by the collector of
Washington County Or any other
county in the state gives Dockery's
statement the lie. The levy is Is
cents for state revenue purposes
and 10 for state interest taxes,
making total levy of 25 on the
one hundred dollars valuation. Mr..
Dockery cannot be ignorant of
these facts, yet he wilfully mis-
states them. 1t is clear that if
Flory. and Dalton do not Estate the
truth" Dockery misses it still far
ther.

We hope that $4,000 which the
Independent says is coming to this
county from Mark Hanna's boodlc
fund will show up in time to offset
the Democratic corruption fund
which is now in the hands of the
local Democracy. We have never
yet seen the color of Marks money
here. 5ot we are glad of our con-
temporary's assurance that such a
handsome sum is to be forthcom-
ing this year. We hope it will not
prove delusion as heretofore. Up
to the present time our Democrat
ic friends here have had ten dollars
to spend for political purposes
where the Republicans have one
dollar.

When the state school fund was
represented by an actual fund it
1t drew over 800, 900 yearly in in
terest from the outside; as the fund
now represented the taxpayers
pay on it an annual interest of
$50, 900 out Of their own pockets.
So it will bc seen that the Demo-
cratic manipulation of the school
fund costs the people of Missouri
each year $S50;000.

on my time by my business it is

Richwoods, Oct. 10th, 1900.
Ed. JOURNAL:
1t may be of some interest to
the readers of the journal to know
that l am now about 20 years old;
that was born and raised in this,
Washington County; have been
voting the Democratic ticket ever
since Buchanan's candidacy, be-
lieving that the principles advocat-
ed by the party were to the best
interests of the country.
But conditions change and l
think u man should govern his
political views according to the
conditions, and throw his influence
in the best interests of bis country,
national, state and county. 1 have
followed closely the administration
of President Mckinley from the
sinking of the 'Maine'' to the pres
ent conditions in China and am in
hearty sympathy with it. l think
the present national conditions safe
and sound along all lines, and
should remain so.
Therefore, after giving careful
thought and due consideration,
have concluded to throw my influ-
ence where. my Judgment leads,
viz: with the Republican party in
national, state aud county politics.
My son, P. E. Dougherty, long
since preceded mo in these views
and learn from most of my sons
Il have nine) that they share witt
with me the same views.
