CRY OF FRAUD RAISED
Before the election OF 1870 the cry OF
Fraud was raised. When the Democratic
ticket was elected in that year the victory
was explained by Republican campaign
managers by the cry Of fraud. When May
or Wells was elected IN l99l the same cry
was raised by Republican campaign man
ayers. and. although AIr Wells offered 10
contribute $1,000 10 assist Mr.. Parker IN
making a contest. no contest was made. L
should begin TO understand that they were
defeated In the last two elections. and VIII
be defeated in this election. not by polit-
ical manipulation, but by the votes Of tho
decent people OF St Louis. who want n
change from Republican misruie- II IS pos
sihle that there may be some notOriety-
seeking gentlemen: II Is possible that there |
may be others with r!ght intent but wrong
