oil and then goes to the national con-
vention and votes for Charles Nagel, the
attorney OF the Standard oil, for Repub-

souri,.
! He is a ''trust- buster in public, and
IN private he urged, over the protests Of
party associates, the selection of w. s.
! Diclley, who represents the Sewer Pipe
trust, as chairman of the Republican
State committee.
! He calls upon W. S. Cowherd to state
| whom he is supporting for United States
senator, Gov. Folk or Senator Stone,
; and is at the same time in private sup
: porting r. G. kcrens for the republican
. nomination for that position.
In public he takes credit for lowering
: the prices OF trust articles, and in pri-
vate he selects the representative of the
Sewer Pip" trust to manage his cam
paign. He selected and voted for the
| attorney OF the Standard Oil company
for national committeeman for Missouri,
/ and is in frequent conference with
Thomas X. Niedringhaus, the represent

/ Louis.
He attack, the brewers and saloon-

comes to St. Louis as the guest of Otto
Stifel, the brewery boss, and goes with
him to South St. Louis, trying to con-

rl,,t l.; i
He goes to st. Louis county with much
flourish of trumpets and beating of drums
to put the ''Iid' on open saloons on Sun
day, then goes away and the saloons re-
uIain open.
He takes credit out in the state for
closing them, and his republican asso-
ciates out in the county boast of keeping
! them open.
He represented the Metropolitan Street
railroad in Kansas City as counsel, and
attacks CoWherd for acting as attorney
and securing the acquittal of a man
charged with stn election crime, where
the republican party and the A. p. A.
had consolidated to attack the funda-
mental principle OF religious liberty.
He is for the liberty loving Germans
in St. Louis and the blue -nosed Kansas
puritanS out in ne state.
He is for the dominance of the white
race in public, and for brOtherly love for
the black race in private.
He is against the race track and comes
to ST. Louis and sits cheek by iowl with
the owner OF race horses.
He quotes the figures Of the police can
vass Of this city, where it suits his pur-
poses, and privately knows that man
who is compiling these figures has been
publicly accused of appropriating S26, 900
Of his employers money and hiding it
in an ash barrel.
He denOunces corruption in public
and sits in the national convention as

! He denOunces political bossism in pub
/ lie, and discharges assistants because
! they Will not bow to the mandate of the
1 bosses.
! He makes a cOld-water speech out in
! the state, and washes it down with
: glass of beer in St. Louis.
: The voters want to know whom he is
deceiving G. Robinson, antisaloon
/ leader, or Otto Stifel, brewery republic
an leader.
They want to know whether the glad
hand of brothery love which he extends
! to the negro voter is sincere, or whether
! he believes that the negro is so inferior
! to the white that he ought not to be
permitted to go to the same school with
him.
| They want to know why, if he is fight
! ing the Standard Oil company, he Sc
! lects the attorney for the Standard Oil
company to act as national committee
man for the republican party in Mis-
souri,.
; They want to know why he urged John
| Kennish to enter the race for United
States senator, but is now supporting r.
| G. Kerens for that position.
! They want to know why he advocates
! out in the state a closed saloon on Sun
| day and Chicago Sunday for ST. Louis.
! They want to know why he, in vague
| terms, discusses democratic misappro-
! priations in Missouri and says nothing
about the misrepresentation of S6l 800 in
! the United States subtreasury in this
! city.
! And, finally, we ask him this direct
question and call upon him for reply:
/ "Does he believe man who was public

an election case, and who afterward ap-
propriated $4,000 of his employers
money, is a proper man to investigate
election frauds?"
