Secretary of State Sam B. Cook

The Dent County Democrats
passed resolutions against the use
of whiskey in the primaries. This
is one advance step in the direction
of clean men for office. We can
not for the life of us see how any
self-respecting man can cast his
ballot for a candidate who receiv-
ed his nomination at the mouth of
a jug of whiskcy or the bung- g-hole
of a beer keg.-Missouri Sharp
shooter.
Imagine the CONSERVATION the
passing of such resolution by the
Democrats of this county would
create among the prospective can
didates of the party. Why they
would throw up their hands in dis
gust at such an innovation and
announce to the party that it might
as we'll have resolved to let the
election 60 by default as to invoke
the people against Il booze cam
paign. Here Democratic success
chiefly depends upon the whiskey
bottle and beer keg, and the party
organ, though published by a
church deacon and edited by a
another ''saint" who taught in
Sunday school, glorificd over the
fact that Democratic whiskey had
induced Il large number of the
colored voters in Potosi to support
the Democratic nominees for the
county offices at the last election.
