Kansas City, sent letter to David A,
Ball recently, in which he declares
Ball was nominated for Governor il only
honest votes had been counted at the
August primary. He called on Mr.,
Ball to become an Independent candi-
date for governor and make the race as
a rebuke TO election stealing. His let.
ter is especially interesting as showing
how the better class OF citizens feel
about dishonest elections. In part Mr.,
Heitman's letter says:
| have observed with much pleasure
your resoute determination TO expose
the election thieves IN st, Louis and
Kansas City who stole from you the
nomination for governor Considering
only the honest ballots, you were un-
questionably nominated, The returns
show that the moral yearning Of the
rural communities concentrated itself
on you. Your $4,000 votes and Wal

stands for the 'old guard" The spirit
Of Missouri is opposed to the "old
guard" A large majority Of the hon

agree that Mr.. COwherd for governor
is not what they want, Why wait four
years for 1t? This Is an age of new dis.

Missouri needs a Moses right now.
You can and ought TO be that Noses,
What the Missouri spirit needs today
is bold man, who is afraid Of nothing;
who Is ready to take slcdgehammcr
and break conventionalitcs to flinders.
What does tho yearning spirit Of Mis-.

Shall the fraud of these scoundrelS and
these rotten conditions OF the elites put
conventional stumbling block in the
way OF the onward march Of the great
spirit Of Missouri? II necessary get

is a Democratic will there is a Demo.

ways exists. Missouri Is now suffering
more and more grlevOus wrongs from
election thieves than our forefathers
ever suffered from King George. They
declared their independence and sup.

Are MissOurians worthy sons Of these
sires? They certainly are, but they
need a leader. They need mau to

from the election thieves OF these cities.
Strike the match and you will see a

We Missourians are chafing under this
