WEB M. RUBEYs REPLY
TO DIR. CAMPBELL.
Still Insists That The Only Issue In
Missouri is and win Be Whether
the Democratic Party Will
Eliminate Corruption or
Surrender to it.


From the Macon TimesDemocrat.
MR.. EDIroR;--I think those who In.
duced DIR. Campbell to write his arti-
Gle which appeared In your last issue
giving reasons why Democrats ought
mot to support Mr. Folk for governor
were guilty OF asking very nice man
10 undertake a job which must subject
him TO severe criticism, not compli-
mentary to his intelligence. l have q
thigh regard for the doctor as citizen
and OF him personally / shall not write,
but ! must say some plain things Of
his article.
| The doctor starts out by saying:
II do not hesitate TO say that am op-
lposed to Joseph W.Folk as a candidate
for nomination by the Democratic
party. But before presenting my rea-
sous for this attitude 1t may be proper
to state that In common with DEM
ocrats generally, accord Mr.. Folk the
Icredit due him for the prosecution OF

that ho ,heret was discredi,ing ,he
party. The doctor knows NV state
ment to be true. and his would be re-
aection that Mr.. Folk or myself or any
one else. charge every man who does
not support Mr.. Folk as fayoring cor
Iruption is false. The great body OF
| Democrats are honest--many Of them
howeyer-easily deceived by such pen
sioners on politics, as Reed and Hawes.
Before get through / will try to tell
you Mr.. Editor, r,--what class of so.call-
ed Democrats Mr.. Folk and his sup
porters do denounce. No suppressed
sentiment about it either. More than
that, such scoundreIs do not accord
credit to Mr.. Folk for his prosecution
of boodlers, but they, like Hawes, not
only deny him credit, but are thrown
into ghoullsh Qlee when ever a scoun-
drel is turned loose, either by the su.
preme court or a Jury. So much then
for the DOCTORS prelude.
