The St. Louis Republic got itself and
its friend, former Governor Francis in
deep water the other day in its at
tempt to splash Shiny water upon
Senator Stone. The Lamar Democrat
relates the. story as follows:
"Senator Stone handed the st. Louis
Republic a good solid jolt Wednesday
that old 1903 certainly deserved. In
a double column article published the
dPy before, the Republic had declared
that Stone was responsible for Farris'
rise to political prominence, as he had,
while governor, appointed the latter
to the ollice of prosecuting attorney of
Crawford county. This was evidently
done for the purpose Of taking an
u%nderhand shot at Stone, though the
statement itself looked innocent
enough. Next day the Republic was
compelled to publish an article from
Senator Stone showing that it was not
he but its W political idol, David L
Francis, who made the appointment.
The RePubtic printed its own article on
the first page under a series of ''scary"
headlines, but the Senator's article
was placed owe on one Of the back
pages in an obscure place, with .
single, modest headline, It's about
time the Repnbtic or some ether city
paper made another howl upon the
lofty and disinterested fairness of the

THAT vas a dreadful lapse OF the
Republic, the %accrediting to Stone the
appointment of Frank Farris as prose-
cutting attorney Of Crawford county,
when in fact be was the appointee of
Dave Francis while Governor. TIE
Republic strains at opportunity, these
days, to discredit everything not of
and from the Wells brand of De-
mocracy, and has a special spite
against Farris and all his friends, past
or present. The announcement that
Stone had made the appointment was
given under double-column headlines,
but the correction was given an in
significant caption in a far-off CORNER
