a few clauses which, in the expires

chance The FIVE per cent OF
Nesbitism has thus knocked out
ninety-five per cent of politica]

the rinQster party the ''fair advan-

have under the old law. Without
this advantage Democratic defeat
must be inevitable, which is all
that justifes the Nesbit law in the

this legislative "advantage" the
Democracy has called to its fur

ninety five per cent of good in the
Nesbit law partisan supreme
court, which has taken away the
recourse of contest in the fraudu-
lent elections the law permits. To
make this double advantage all the
more secure even the organic law
of the state has been overriddon
and trampled upon by the supreme
court. Such are the indictments
against Nesbitism. The cry
against it does not come from dis
appointed political hopes, but i.
prompted by an act Of despotism
that has not it's equal in any other

Republican majority to be over

upon the good name Of the county

The bonded debt of Missouri was

forty years ago. The sale of rail
roads by Republicans reduced it
largely. These are the plain facts
of the case, and the attempt to
transfer the debt to Republican
shoulders is Enthusiastically ly

Fhe Republican ticket nominat-

ono which deserves the whole sup
port of the party. 1t is a ticket
selected by the people themselves,
each Individual Republican voter
in the county has been given the
opportunity o~express his person
al preference in making the nomi-
nations. Any charge of machine
or ring work in making the ticket
can not be made to stick, as the
nominations were made by direct
primary upon the demand of the
candidates. The nominees are all
good and competent men, and
every thoughtful Republican who
holds the success Of the party su-
preme above personality should

I Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow

it and set the matter right.

Sample of Crookedness.

An old falsehood is given this
circumlocutary form by the Rs
public: missouri Republicans
saddled debt of about $22, 900, 900
upon this state by selling railroads
which Republican Governor de-
clared to be worth the value of the
commonwealth lien, at about one
third of the principal and interest
for which the roads were indebt-
ed" Mark the involved nature of
this statement. The Republicans
are charged with saddling bond
ed debt on the state by selling the
railroads. When the Republicans
took hold of the state government
they found a bonded debt of $685.
600, 900, contracted before the civil
war and before the organization of
the Republican party. The debt
was created by Democratic legisla-
lures, which loaned the credit to
the state to railway construction,
in spite of the veto and emphatic
warning of Gov. Price, a Demo-
crat. In order to stop the noun
tain of interest piling up, and to
repair the error of putting tho
state into the railroad business,
the Republicans sold the roads
publicly to the highest bidders and
applied the proceeds to the state
debt. During the Republican per-
iod of six years the state bonded
debt was reduced from $50, 900, 900
to $22, 900, 900, and not a dollar
was ever added to it by Republi-
cans.
Because the Republicans did not
obtain money enough from the sale
of the railroads to wipe out the en-
tire bonded debt entailed upon the
state by their construction under
Democratic laws the Republic
says the Republicans saddled q
debt upon the state. In his first
campaign speech the other day
Gov. Dockery was guilty of the
same attempted deception. He
called the stats bonded debt "a
heritage of Republican misrule, y
and insists that the Republicans
should have obtained $4,000 8
mile for the worn out railroads al

Every time you buy a school
book you pay tribute to the Book
Trust which is allowed to collect it
from you by Il Democratic law,
lobbied through the legislature by
Ex-Governor Stone. A vote for
the Democratic candidate for Re-
preventative from this county, who
ever he may be, would be vote in
favor of ''Gumshoe BiIl' for
United States Senator. Think OF
this when you are paying your
tribute to the Book Trust.

Having determined that the Mes
bit election law is an honest one
osr Democratic friends may soor
be expected to assert that then
gorrymander of the congressiona
districts of Missouri is also hon
est. The Republicans are allowed
only one Congressman in a tota
delegation Of sixteen, although
they cast nearly A per cent of the
total vote of the state, which en-
titles them to about seven repre-
sentatives in Congress under a fail
apportionment! Democratic cleo
ton laws are honest, ''nit."
