"Mr. Folk, among other Dem
ocrats, was desired to lend his
assistance to the support of the
Democratic cause.
II personally besought his
support for our party, and other
Democrats interested in party
success did likewise.
EAT no time during the cam
paign, when he ran for circuit
attorney, did Mr.. Folk leud the
slightest aid to his party.
1T will not do for him to hide
behind bis protested hostility
to Mr.. Butler, with whom he
had been a joint candidate in
the previous election, and whom
he had, with apparent loyalty,
supported when himself a can
didate.
II urged, as other Dem ocrats
had done, that Mr.. Folk take
part in that campaign. 1t was
not important that he should
make a speech in Mr.. Buffers
district.
"There were two other dis
tricts in the city of st. Louis in
which Mr.. Butler was not a can
didate; and Democrats iuHthe
state had invited him to fill
appointments on behalf of the
state ticket."
Or in other words Mr.. Folk
has branded all Democrats who
do not shout for him as THE yes,
thugs and tricksters. The News
says all anti Folk editors
would rather loose their right
arm than tell the truth and
Grandma Jewett of the Shell

Let's See.

Since it has been fully Demon
strated that Joe Folk is a dem
ocrat, that he is not condemniug
the Democratic party as corrupt
that he never advocated the
election of Butler, that he did
not steal his salary,sthat he is
not corrupt, we see no reason
why a Democrat cannot favor
his uomination.-Ralls County

with Jim Butler, when he.
Joey-was on the ticket. Joe
did, in spite of the constitution
of Missouri, instruct his assis-
tant to draft bill to increase
salary and then did0lobby that
bill through and then did collect
1000 excess salary until it was
refused him. At first he said:
1.-The salary is mine," and when
he found he couldn't get it, he
said, "he didn't know" The
only time Mr.. Folk ever admit
ted it to be possible for the gray
matter under his thatch to go
wrong was when he was caught
doing wrong. Then, there was
the emigration bill for self he
lobbyed through; and, then for

the Republicans could not ind

Gov. A. M. Dockery, when
goaded into replying to Jos. W.
Folk, makes the fur fly thusly:
Jefferson City, Mo-, March 16
Gov. Dockery in an interview
- today resented the attack made
on him at Lancaster, Mo-, by
"a Jos. W. Folk. In part the gov
.ernor says:
I'm his speech at Lancaster,
Mo-, MIR. Joseph W. Folk at
tributed the result of the st.
Louis primaries to police inter-
ference and charges that must
3 either confess the responsibility
or acknowledge incompetency.'
"From the opening of the
campaign my purpose has been
to avoid any possible action
which might be construed as
hurtful to any candidate aspir-
ing for the governorship. No
one knows better than Mr.. Folk
that there is no founda tion for
the claim that he lost the sup
port of st. Louis in his caudi-
dacy for governor because of
what he terms police inter-
ference.
ut is we'll known in st. Louis
that the only votes Mr.. Folk
received from that city was as
a recognition of Mr.. Tony
,Stuever. the well-known brew
er, and not by reason of any
personal following of Mr.. Folk.
'If anything that has been
. charged concerning improper
. conduct incident to the pri-
maries in that city we're true, it
would not have changed the
result in the St. Louis delegates
to the state nominating con-
vention.
IF there has been violation
, of law or disregard of official
duty in connection with the
recent primaries in st. Louis.
every effort will be made by
this Office to bring the offenders
to justice.
"Mr. Folk must have known
when he made his attack on me,
that I had taken every possible
pre- caution to insure an abso-
lutely fair primary.
"The plain fact remains that
Mr.. Folks defeat in the ST.
Louis primary was not due to
any regretable trouble in two
or three wards in that city, but
is the result of Mr.. Folks fail
ure to deal faithfully and 10y
ally with his party obligations.
