feelings Of the community I went TO
other places in that great city. There

that knew the democracy Of Missou-

these revelings OF corruption by maxi

Then again someone says that tho

ocracy, l went though the campaigns
Of 1896 and 1898 as the democratic
nominee for Congress in the Twelfth
district saw those who were trait
ors and those who we're friends to our

great battle. He stands to-day where
he stood then, and feel that IL the
gold democrats could control him |

Then some one says it is too early

the fair name Of Missouri win never
again be furnished Its fame win be
brighter and more enduring than all
its glowing sunsets, and beautiful
lilies that open to welcome the kiss OF
the dews or heaven, can. ever make II.
God made the sunset and the flowers,
and to him their care can be commit

we must make 1t strong and honest
by nominating and electing the fear
