MUST BE REcNONEO WITH.
 IL Is one of the remarkable things about the American people that nc event can arise in their national ca reer. however untried the proposition or problematic that proposition may be, but what the man of the hour is found. and arises equal to the occa- sion. fully equipped by experience. or with that innate knowledge of affairs tha meets with and disposes of facts, as though they were the ordinary events Of mercantile. business or so- ciai life or even the more delicate affairs of diplomacy or state. That there are some momentous questions to be met by the two great political parties of the country in the rear fu- ture cannot but be impressed on the mind Of the most ordinary observer.
 One Of these is certainly 10 he ,he obnoxious DineIay tariff measure. out Of which cur political opponents have wsxed and grown Ia, at the expense Of the common people. whose neces- sites of life have been through this Instrument. placed at the highest notch in the history of the nation
 During this time the Carregies. the Tricks, the Rockefellers. the Baers and a host Of those who have pulled long and effectively at the crib of in- fated stocks, made possible through that great political hugaboO pro-ec- ton. have piled up colossal fortunes. not possible through the legitimate course of trade.
 Down there in St. Louis there is a quiet unassuming gentleman named Folk. who coming from obscurity. has made a name that has within the very short period of two years. be- cone national. in it's ascendancy.
 Nr- Folk. the prosecuting attorney of St Louis, found the city officials of his own party steeped in corruption and crime He had been nominated and elected as a sort of harmless person who would not be apt to notice much that was going on around him.
 Powerful political forces placed him in the position he then and now holds. The exposure Of the bribery that existed in the city council of the Worlds Fair city. by MT Folk. star tied the community in it's scope of daring Fearlessly the young prose cutOr grappled the proposition. and the long record of convictions rebound 10 tfIe fearless honesty Of Joseph ". Folk Wherever he goes in the state he is rendered ovations that would set many an older head by the board. He is now the mooted and logical can- didste for governor of his state and will undoubtedly receive the nomina- ton. which will mean an overwhelm- inng election. This can be but the s.epping stone 10 the highest office within the gift of the people What field there is for Joseph W. Folk right this monent in vorri-c'i c'i The rottenness of the postoffce de partmeHt becomes more ot a stench in the nostrils of the people every day The vicious crimes committed in the interior department upon the poor Indians who are the wards of the nation is startling Rolling in ar rogance, impudent assumption. and inoceuIated with the belief that they are masters of the people. instead of the servants, calls for a Joseph W. Folk A man who has the honesty of purpose as shown in the official record of Mir. Folk-who spared not the dishonesty of his own political party-fs the man to take hold of matters like the tariff which breeds national corruption, and official crime in high places and with which the national capital is infested. and while he can make no legislation. his fearless honesty of purpose would be followed by the people from whence he sprung. and it is safe to say that whom the people will sup port the politicians had better fall into Eae with. something they are al- ways glad to do Joseph ". Folk must be reckoned with in natioraI politics. or rather the people must be reeko1ed with, for they admire an bonest fearless man.
