Mr.. W. w. Haywood, Republican
candidate for Presiding Judge, says. as
Supervisor Of Registration in 1868, he
did not reject Democrats or take their
names from the lists of qualified voters.
This is technically true, perhaps. But
be was superintendent over the acts Of
his inferior officers, the registrars of
the various townships. The work
they did was done under him. When
the work Of supervision came up did
be raise his voice for the ~reinstate-
meDt OF a single name scratched off
the list by his underlingsP Not on
your life! A superintendent of work
is responsible for the things done un-
der his direction, and it would be CON
sidered puerile for him to attempt to
shift his responsibility to the should
ers OF his interiors. In the year 1868
the Republican registering officers
adopted the rule that d man charged
with offense had to prove his inno-
cence or stand guilty. Now, the rule
OF law has always been that he who
makes the charge must substantiate it
must prove his charge is true. Our
Republican friends, some OF whom are
now asking the SURFACES Of Democrats,
reversed the rule Of all law, and
thousands of men we're denied the
right to vote with not an iota OF evil
dence against their qualifications.
Their sole disqualification consisted in
the fact that, If permitted to vote, they
would vote the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Haywood did not raise his voice or
employ the power of his official posi-
ton against the enormity then; he
cannot now shield himself behind those
who acted under him, when LOG names
of Democrats were stricken from the
lists after they had taken the oath and
duly registered. As to how the Re-
publicans in 1868 looked upon their
Democratic neighbors whom they are
coddling now, we quote from their
local organ, the Enterprise Of October
IS, that year:
"There is no doubling the fact that
the Rebel Democrats of our State have
no regard for an oath, and are ready
and willing to commit perjury when
ever it Is to their advantage to do 30.
The registration just closing has given
US ample proof of this assertion.
Thousands of men throughout our State
have taken the oath prescribed in the
constitution who have been open and
notorious rebels, and who knew that
they were committing perjury when
they took the oath. Many of these
men are protested Christians, who she'd
tears over the moat in their neighbours
eye while the beam of perjury sticks
out of their own"
Did not the Enterprise reflect Mr..
H~eywood's views at that timer

Heyw0Od's Denial.

Ed. Regaster:-I see in your issue OF
Oct. 9th. a short item above my name,
rejecting upon my honesty in the dis
franchising of voters in Iron county as
registrating officer, which Office | never
held. Now for the law OF 1868, made
by the State Legislature previous,
whereby a Supervisor of Registration
was to be appointed by the Governor
for each and every county in the State
Of Missouri. | held that office for Iron
county. Before acting l had TO file an
oath to support the constitution and
carry out the law by appointing two
registrating officers in each township
OF the county, which l did. In two
townships no one could be found who
would serve, Iron and Liberty. I APP
pointed three In Iron township, and all
refused because of threats made by
opponents OF the law. l never reg
istered a single voter, either on voting
list or on rejected list. | acted as
president of Board OF Appeals OF all
the registration officers OF the county,
to hear both sides Of rejected voters,
held in the courthouse in lronton, open
to everybody. But ! had no vote I'M
less a tie occurred, which never hap
pened during Court Of Appeals.
Now, II the writer Of the said item
referred to in REGISTER OF last week
will kindly ''show me" and your Dem
ocratic readers, how I ever prevented
a qualified voter from voting, in any
shape or manner | think IT is but
justice to give this a place in your
next issue, as you give my name 10
full In your first item, and greatly
oblige, W. W. HAYWOOD.

The weather during the past ten or
twelve days has been the most lovely
l aver before experienced at this time
OF year; the forest On the mountains lie
tinted with lovely golden hues, in fact,
an almost heavenly serenity appears
to emanste from almost every form Of
both organic and inorganic life, giving
happiness to nearly all kinds OF ami
NAL life.
Farmers in this locality have nearly
completed sowing wheat, and | am in
formed that the acreage sown Is fully
up to the average.
Though the continued wet weather
has somewhat damaged CORE and fod
der, there will be an abundance of
feed In this locality. There lie a fairly
good crop of mast in the woods. which
will keep hogs in good condition
through the winter.
Cattle on the range are fat, but 1t
appears that buyers are conspicuous
by their absence. That's the rule:
when you have anything to sell, you
can't sell it, and If you try to buy a
thing, you will have to pay twice the
worth of it. 1 am not very we'll up

that's what we might call prosperity"

Obituary.

The remains of the late Mrs.
Catherine Allgier were consigned to
the grave Sept. "a, 1902. at the Mid
d lebrook Catholic cemetery. Prior to
her death she had been a constant
sufferer for a number of years, but
patiently endured her pain until Sept.
20, 1902.
She was born In Wax Hurst, Ger
many, Nov. rs, 1921. In 1841 she
was married to Nicholas Allgier, and
eight children were born to them, four
Of which now survive her, namely:
Tony, Peter and Nicholas Allgier and
Mrs. Catherine Martin.
She was a faithful member of the
Catholic Church, as we'll as a devoted
mother. Mrs. Allgler was a. woman
whose ability in many lines was ap-
preciated and understood only by those
who knew her best.
Thus when called to the silent halls of death
She passed away happy and by many bereft.
Her relatives wish to extend their
thanks to those who have been so kind
and helpful during their mothers long
illness. A DAUGHTER.
