Folk or Nothing.

Thomas Miles, one of River.
views substantial farmers, gave
the Democrat a pleasant call last
Thursday. Mr.. Miles is a close
observer, and stated that In his
pcighborhood nearly every citi'
zen, irrespective Of politics, was
for Joseph W. Folk for COVER.
nor.
They argue that it is so seldom
that an official has attempted to
do his whole duty when elected
to office, especially in st. Louis,
that Mr.. Folk stands out in bold
array over all officials of rec.
ord, while political and financial
Influences have laid their tempt.
ing bait TO sway him from his
honest course. He has proven
that he was not purchasable,
hence the factions who have been
feeding upon the fat fried out OF
cooperative slush funds used tC
corrupt Legislative bodies, are
his enemies, but the common
people, who have watched the
exposition Of this class of Office
holding teaches by Circuit Attor.
ney Folk, are now determined &c
stand by him. To show that they
believe in honesty in politics
they will either demand for him
just recognition or join in one
vast host 10 bury beneath al
avalanche Of votes the ring On
machine who seek to still further
saddle upon them the scourge Of
corruption and boodleism which
even leaders cannot ettace. Mr.
Miles states that this is the gen
cral feeling and no power OF
earth will be able TO staVe it OIL,
1t is Folk or nothing, not only
here, but all over the state O.
Missouri.

In speaking Of the splendid
ability Of Joseph w. Folk and
his qualifications for the position
of Governor of our grand old
state, we do not attempt to find
fault with the many who might
fill the bill to the satisfaction of
the Democracy of Missouri, but
we do know that Circuit Attor.
ney Folk has fulfilled the duties
Of his office without fear of con.
sequences and against odds
which ordinarily would battle
the efforts Of an official with less
tenacity than he has exercised.
Besides he has proven himself
incorruptible, and ii these char.
ac~teristics are not what the PEG.
pie demand in a public servant,
what on earth do they want.
The machine element will have
10 submit to the will Of the PEG.
pie, or allow themselves to be
classed as against reform and on
the side of the dishonest element
who insist on boodlism and graft.
ing. II is coming TO u test-Folk
or nobody.

Situation Summed Up.

The people of this State are
now thoroughly aroused over
the political situation. They have
been brought to a sudden reali-
zatiOn OF the situation. The PEG.
pie Of Missouri have been stand.
ing back and letting the politi-
clans run things to suit them
selves and they have come TO the
conclusion that affairs have been
badly managed. The old time

means something,
The politicians OF the state IN

mistaken. The people of Mis-.

CASE REOPENED.
Three Witnesses at Rehearing Of the
elliott Case

Three witnesses for the defense were eX-
amined this morning by the trial board n
police headquarters in the case OF Joseph l..
elliott. the street railway crossing police
man. who was recently tried on charges
growing out of the alleged payment OF
money for positions on the police force.
The case was reopened on motion of At
torney " ltun J. Lambert. counsel for tha
defense. 1t was the intention of the board
TO hear the testimony of Mr.. Frank +.
Morgan, whose name mentioned dur
ing the hearing OF the case last week Mr..
Morgan was out of the city and could not.
therefore, appear.
Policemen Nussbaum and Murphy and J.
A. Martin. the former crossing officer. were
examined. They were called by Mr.. Lam
bert to contradict the testimony of ]. w.
MoSSburg, who WAS regarded the star
witness In the investigation of the charges.
They declared that the testimony Mossburg
gave concerning their alleged conversations
about the payment of money was untrue.
NuSsbaum said that after there had been
something printed in the newspapers Moss
burg spoke TO him about the affair. but he
refused to discuss II with him. The only
thing the former crossing officer had heard
about money was when Mossburg saw Capt.
Brady and said he would pay him II he pre-
pared him for the police examination.
