ed to be Governor of Missouri.
Like all his speeches lately, it was
a bitter attack on the ST, Louis
Circuit Attorney" whose name is
not mentioned once in the whole
length of the speech, AS far as
we are able to analyze what Har-
ny said he is greatly disgruntled be-
cause Folk has bigger reputation
than he has and because "the st.
Louis Cireuit Attorney" has put
a scar upon the brow and tear in
the eye" Of the boodlers. The Cir
cult Attorney has done this thru
the special grand jury system,
which Halves wants abolished. He
insinuates that "the st. Louis
