ST. LOUIS. March l1. 10O4.

Why doesn't Joseph w. Folk
accept the challenges of Harry B.
Halves and James A. Reed to enter
into joint debate? M. j. f.
Mr.. Folks own reasons are
not known here, but there are
very good reasons that anybody
who knows the situation can
see The scheme of the Machine
is TO entangle Mr.. Folk in bitter
determinations and personal
squabbles with the purpose of
ultimately saying that the can.
vass has become such a person
al one that none of the men in
it can be agreed upon, and that
a dark horse is the only way out
of the mess. The dark horse it
need not be said, will already be
saddled and standing ready in
the Machine stables. The joint
debate proposition is only a for
lorn hope of obtaining an excuse
to throw" Folk in a manner
that will not offend the decent
voters of the Democracy.
The above appeared in tie
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-03-17

1t is bosh to charge Folks
overwhe lining defeat in st.
Louis to "repeaters." The
Democrats IN st. Louis are &C
quainted with Nj. Folk. If he
is all that he pretends to be
he certainly would have re.
ceived more than 28O1 votes in
a great city like St. Louis.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-03-17

1t looks like some OF our Folk
friends have started out to
wreck the Democratic party, if
they cannot run it. Don't at.
tempt such at hing "boys" De
mocracy is giving Missouri too
good government to aid in
turning our state over to Re
publicans.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-03-17

All good Democrats should
work for their Avorite candi-
date now, and when the ticket
as nominated should get out and
work for the success of that
ticket. One thing is sure, we
cannot al! have our choice, but
we should abide by the decision
of the majority. Democracy
has done so much for Missouri
that we cannot afford to permit
our Republican friends to cap
ture the state.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-03-17

There isn't any use to WORRY
over this Folk matter. When
the people once get to .'see
behind the curtains" so to
speak, they will look for some
good, solid, simon-pure demo-
crat who is willing to run on
his record, and not one who
hopes to pull through on senti-
ment, prejudice and hatred for
the people of the state. The
day for the calamity bowler to
succeed has passed. And it is
well for the country that it
has. -

st. Louis Star of last Friday.
Just think of ito entangle
Mr.. Folk in bitter incrimina-
tions!" IT is true that the OPP
position to Mr.. Folk would like
to ask him a few questions in
the presence of the people
questions touching his honesty
and sincerely. If he is as hon
est as he would have the people
believe he is, he need not incrim-
mate himself. 1t is possible
Mr.. Halves would like to ask
him about that SIS, 900 residence
he declined to accepts" would
like to ask him why he didn't
take the witnesses to Fulton to
prosecute Ed. Butler; would
like to ask him why he did not
try to prosecute Blair and why
he allowed the really guilty
people in the Street car deal to
turn states evidence. The
reason Folk does not want to
speak from the same platform
with Halves is that Folk does
not want the mask of hypocrisy
pulled from his face and thus
give the people a chance to see
him as he really is. But no
matter-the people will see that
mask sooner or later. Folk
will never be nominated for
governor of Missouri on the
democratic ticket. ~
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-03-17

Our Republican friends have
from the start tried to force
Folk on the Democrats as the
nominee for Governor and we
believe that in a short time it
will be conclusively proven that
Republicans put up the large
amount of money which is being
iayisbly spent by the Folk
people
