Attorney Folk OF Missouri is very
popular since he began his fight
against the boodlers as has been every
other champion of honesty who has
had the courage to use his official
influence to turn the rascals out. One
reason that such men are so popular
is that they are very rare.

Special Correspondence.
Wynnewood, |. T., June III. E.
Robertson and w. r. Lee. two farmers
and stock raisers, were riding along
today some seven miles south Of here
and becoming involved in a dispute
about some cattle they pulled their
pistols ami Robertson was shot in the
cheek, though not very seriously, it
is reported.
The thermometer was "a degrees in
the shade today, and rain is need in
some places.
Wynnewood had an importation OF
booze two OF three days ago and as a
natural result several scraps were in
evidence, with nobody hurt but several
fines to be paid.
A very small portion Of whisky
mixed with the prevailing territory
drinks is calculated TO make men very
drunk In fact the territorial drinks,
such as are sold here, unfrequently ac-
complish that result.
The writer has lived where they had
the open saloon; he has always been
the avowed enemy of the liquor traffic
but during the year or more that he
has lived in the territory he can sim
ply say, that is question in his mind
of very grave doubt, as to whether 1t
would be better for community TO
have its open saloon than it is to be
situated as are the people in this Sec
tion with much OF the evils of the
traffic and so little law to protect
themselves.

THE LIVE STOCK SHOW.

No event in the west this fall at all
compares 10 interest and Importance
with the American Royal Live Stock
Show at Kansas City, Oct. 1924.
The entries already reported insure
that it will be the largest exhibition
Of pure bred breeding stock Of the
beef cattle ever held 10 the world.
As the years go by it may become AND
should become even a greater show
Kansas City is so located that it can
easily maintain its primacy as a cat
tlemen's rallying point. 1t is near
the western edge Of the largest and
best corn belt 10 America and it is
near the eastern edge of the largest
grazing plains. These two areas sup
port each other. The plains make
large demands upon the fine stock
breeders of the farming section, aud
in turn the corn belt claims the I'm.
finished product Of the plains to con.
sumo its surplus grain.
The entries thus far in the pure bred
individual class amount to 28S Here
fords, 1S4 Shorthorns, lac Aberdeen
Angus aud 81 Galloways. In the car
load lot classes, 10 car loads of fat and
feeding cattle have been entered.
The entries in some Of the classes
have not closed. The horse show,
especially 10 draft and coach horses,
promises to be the best ever held.
AS an exhibition Of one of the prin-
cipal sourcs of wealth in the West
this show will attract thousands OF
visitors.

no more dishonorable cause than that
they fought with him 10 the war
between the states. They utterly
fail TO see that because some OF Doodle
Buffers Indians are fighting Mr..
Folk they should join Doodle Phelps
satellites and Doodle Ziegenhein's
grafters who kiss the hand that smites
them. II MI. Mcleod would come to
Lafayette county and look over the
"class Of fellows" who prefer some
one else to the St. Louis circuit
attorney, he would certainly feel
differently about it.
But this is not the only letter that
Mr.. Mcleod has written. Quoting
from a letter received by a citizen OF
Lexington a few days ago:
"This interested opposition is
equipped with large capital and
managed by shrewd political wire
pullers and is determined upon the
use of money and political %chicanery
to defeat his nomination"
And again:
Notwithstanding the admitted
desire OF the party to nominate and
elect Mr.. Folk, we are told that the
opposition, entrenched as they are
behind millions of money, by their
organization propose to defeat the
will Of the people"
These paragraphs seem to say that
millions OF money are going to be
spent to defeat Mr.. Folk, that Nc.
Leod's Holiness Citizens Committee
and its followers are "the party"
and that the present democratic
organization in Missouri is identical
with the alleged Doodle organization.
This last charge will 10 the final
analysis be found to be the secret Of
the movement. Some other folks, some
of them not the most desirable. would
like TO get control of the democratic
organization. The second charge
remain a matter of opinion. And as
for the first, Mr.. Reeds money, If he
has any, has not been In evidence 10
this county up to this time. AS for
Judge CAN'T, he has not spent enough
to have his picture taken yet. The
only people who have boasted of
having money to spend is this same
Mcleod bureau. That bureau glee-
fully gave out in all the St. Louis
papers six months ago that it had
$50, 900 on hand and plenty more in
sight whenever it might be needed
II this was not intended as a bid
for every corrupt element 10 the state
and every purchasable influence, If 1t
did not NEAR that the books were
open and that the bureau would be
glad to start accounts with those who
could serve its purposes, then Mcleod
& Co. are possessed Of an infantile
political innocence which is as charm
ing as it is rare 1t would be a pity
to do MIR. Mcleod an injustice.
Perhaps the most authoritative state
ment of his case, the one most favor
able to him and his cause, is to be
found IN the St. Louis Republic OF
September 81, under t%hree.column,
