Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1902-03-06
FALSE AND MALICIOUS.


Democrats reputation as a falsltier he
is certainly entitled to an increase OF
wages. His talk In Sundays Globe
about Champ Clark's withdra wal
from the Senatorial race and the
reference to Machine politics at the
State Lunatic Asylum and School for
the Deaf" were lies out Of whole cloth.
We believe Galloway would have
supported Champ Clark, although the
county townships have been friendly
TO Stone all along.
The Globe says, sand he Clark
could see that in Galloway the whole
machine of the State Lunatic Aslum
and Deaf and Dumb Institute would
go for Stone.n
The Globes statement is false.
]. f. Henderson, local member Of
the Missouri School for the Deaf and
Secretary OF Galloway Democratic
Central Committee, does not beloE, TO
any machine and he was for Clark for
the Senate.
J. Williams, instructor in printing
for the deaf and one OF the proprietors
of the Missouri Telegraph, belongs to
no machine and was for Clark for
Senator.
John B. Harris, the Steward of the
School for the Deaf, belongs to no ma
chine and was for Clark for the Senate.
Mr.. Harris is proprietor Of the Aux
vase Revieac.
The teachers who take part In poll
tics were for Clark as far as we were
able 10 find out.
Superintendent Mckee takes no
part in personal politics and some of
the teachers had expressed no pre-
ference, but the machine" /" as 1t is
falsely called by the Globe Democrat,
the Democratic influence OF the Mis-
souri, School for the Deaf was against
Stone in Galloway and for Clark.
The same was true OF the State
Hospital for the Insane. The influ-
ence OF Galloway Democrats connect
ed with that institution was almost
unanimous for Clark.
This Is Clark's district. All these
Democrats are personally acquainted
with their congressman and were anx-
lous for his promotion; not that they
loved Stone less, but Clark more.
Stone is, perhaps, second choice for
most OF these men.
The Globe Democrats machine
charge was false and It's assertion that
the machine was for Stone was
malicious, because II there was any
machine. It was for Clark. There
was none.
The Globe Democrat, by its falsehood,
was trying to convey the impression
that the influence Of men connected
with the State Institutions would be
for Stone because Secretary Cook and
Governor Dockery desired them to be
for Stone.
1t would have been no discredit tol
have been for Stone. Many OF Calla-
ways best men are supporting him,
but the charge Of machine politics is
false. Cook and Dockery have mol
warmer friends anywhere than those
with the two State insti- |
tutions in Galloway. w. E. Jameson,
]. F. Henderson, ]. B. Harris, W. M.
Adcock and a number Of Others were
warm supporters and friends OF the
State administration; and yet they
we're for Clark and no word or hint
from Cook or Dockery suggested q
different policy. The Globe lied.
Outside OF Galloway, Col. White, of
the Mexico LEDGER, has, from the
first, been Champ Clark's strongest
champion and most ardent supporter. |
Ool. White belongs to no machine, but
is a member Of the Board Of Managers
Of the State Hospital for the Insane.
DR.. Kallmeyer, Of Montgomery
county, president Of the Board Of
Managers OF the School for the Deaf,
Is also a strong Clark man and was for
him for the Senate against the world. |
Col. Wade, Of Butler, another men,
Der Of the Board OF the School for
the Deaf, is shouting yet for De
Armond land right good man he is
shouting forl and never has been for
Stone at any stage Of the game.
The Globe lied and the "old Poll
ticiann ought to strike for better
wages.
