FAVOR FOLKS NOMINATION.

The old line politicians of Missouri
have been greatly mystitied by the
sweeping victories Of Mr.. Folk in the
country. The larger cities, by ma
chine methods, have been enabled to
stem the tide, but when the voter is
given unbridled liberty to vote his
convictions, the majorities have been
so pronounced as to leave no doubt
OF the honesty of purpose, when a
great moral idea IL at issue.
1t is not the individual, but Folk
ism, typifed by that honest, cour-
ageous, able prosecutor of boodlers,
Joseph W. Folk, who is receiving this
substantial endorsement by an hon.
est, sturdy people.
OF the pronounced candidates for
governor THE TINES has from the
beginning favored the nomination Of
Mr.. Folk. When it looked like, at
one time, he would be defeated, we
favored that man who stands next
for the great idea that Mr.. Folk has
brought to the front in this cam.
paign, &c neral Edward C. Crow.
But the results Of recent primaries
throughout the state leaves no
doubt that the rank and file of the
party are thoroughly aroused to the
situation, and we believe Mr.. Folk
will be nominated, as he should be.
We believe he should be nominated
because no party can afford to turn
down the moral idea for which be
stands in this campaign.
Because be has demonstrated his

Holden, Mo-, April 9.-When Cir

printed chiefly in Republican news
papers, that he was fixing a slate OF
all State offices, he entered a most
vigorous denialS He said:

r. W. Mitchell, editor OF the Nevada
Post, announces editorially in his
paper as q candidate for Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Mitchell is q man Of
brains and energy. He 10 . talented
newspaper man Of twenty years ex.
perience. He has been a consistent
worker for the perpetuation Of the
Democratic party al these years,
and is deserving Of party recogni-
ton. The editor OF TIE TINES has
known him personally for a quarter
Of q century and can testify to his
worth. What we say Of Mr.. Mitchell
can also be said with equal force OF
Sam B. Cook. 1t has been the prac-
tics for the past twenty-five years to
give o man at least two terms in this
Office. McGrath had three terms,
Leseuer had three terms, then why
turn Cook down, who has served his
party and his state as faithfully and
efficiently as either Of his predeces-
sors. From a pecuniary view there
is little profit in state Office, Ger
tainly not In this one where the ex.
pense OF the campaign falls heavily
upon him, and be can hardly hope to
play even on one term. Under other
circumstances we would be only too
glad to support Mr.. Mitchell for this
or any other Office, but We announc-
ed our position early on this matter
and believe that Mr.. Cook should be
re-nominated, and we do not hesitate
70 affirm that we are for him.

his first vote for Democrat and has
been voting that ticket for eighteen
yearsin this county and willcontinue
to do 80 no matter what the result
OF this contest, Mr.. Sharp made a
strongrace for this office once before.
He has many friends over the county
who have urged him to enter this

A. B. Ludwick is well deserving O
the handsome compliment which his
party will confer upon him by renom
mating him for Prosecuting Attor-
ney, without opposition. Mr.. Lud
wick has made an able and fearless
prosecutor, doing his duty at oil
times impartially, and to the salts
faction OF the state. While he has
made splendid record for convic-
lions, he has exercised prudence by
thoroughly investigating all cases
brought to his attention before in
stituting proceedings, thereby say.
ing large cost bills to the taxpayers.
While serving as states attorney,
Mr.. Ludwick believes that his SER
vices belong to the state, and when
the Kratz case was brought to this
count, instead OF accepting a large
fee from the defendant as was done
in another county, he notified MIR
Folk that his services we're at the

"The Review doesn't denounce

time it deplores the fact that many
of Mr.. Folks supporters should class

ers make the charge or believe for a
minute that "all who differ with them
are boodlers or Butterflies" That
ridiculous charge, made by Mr.. Folks
enemies in order to iniure him in his
race, has been reiterated so often
that it has carried conviction to
some, but nothing is further from the
truth. Mr.. Folk is running on a
great moral idea, which Mr.. Reed
denies ia an issue. 1t looks, at this
time, like a large majority OF Demo-
cratic voters OF Missouri believe with
Mr.. Folk that it is an issue, but it
does not follow that those who re-
fuse to believe that boodling is an is.
sue believe in boodling. Far 'romit.
To our knowledge there are as hon
orable, upright, conscientious men,
who scorn the wrong and uphold the
right, as can be found in this or any
other state, believe with Mr.. Reed
that it is not an issue in this cam
paign, and they condemn boodling
itself as bitterly as any Folk sup
porter. The editor OF the Rich Hill
Review can be Justly placed in that
class.
On the other hand some misguided
followers OF Mr.. Reed are affirming
that Mr.. Folk Is not a Democrat and
that all who support him are enemies
to the Democratic party. But we
do not hesitate to affirm that these
are radical fellows, who do not reflect
the opinions Of the good men who
prefer Mr.. Reed to Mr.. Folk as the
Democratic standard bearer.

Gratis to use moderation in advocat-

The Need of a Republican Congress.

While the presidential contest this year
will have the front position on the political
stage, il will no, do 70 neglect other i'm
portant matters. and one OF these is the
securing Of a Republican congress. II
President Roosevelt is TO be re-eleetsd il
is highly important, that there should be
in power a Republican Majority of the
house Of Representatives % carry forward
the Republican policy in national affairs,
and Republican aiorl,y in the senate
TO give its sanction 10 such measures.
And on the other hand IL there were any
possibility that the Democratic candidate
for the presidency would be successful. IL
would be important 20 have Republican
ma lofity in the congress 10 prevent the
worst evils Of Democratic rule.
In this connection i may be remembered
that Cleveland made very fair sort OF .
president in MS firs, term Hhsn Repuh-
lican congress controlled legislation. and
!, was only in his second term. whsn con-
gTess had Democratic majority. tha. the
country was brought TO a climax OF Ca
lami,y.
Fortunately there Is no danger Of such
a thing this year. but nevertheless the
Republicans in every state should stand
loyalty for the maintenance Of Republican
supremacy IN congress. and make certain
tha. the Democrats do not steal a march
upon them in this respect
Colorado row has thres Republican
congressman where four years ago Il did
not have any. and good step toward the
maintenance Of the present condition has
been taken in the denomination OF ar.

The rlan Who Wants TO Work rIus,

which the agitators and politicians are at
tempting to stir up such a fuss9 It is
Simply this: Whenever any man wants
to work at an honest occupation in Colo

him when the opportunity for work is Of
fered." That is all. Governor Peabody
has gone no farther than that agitators
and politicians notwithstanding. How
ever. he has pledged himself and the state
to that policy and he will maintain the
pledge so long as the military Of the state
lasts. He who denies the right Of the
