Cowherd's Fight Against the
Corporations.

IN speech recently delivered at
Jefferson City, William S. Cowherd
OF Kansas City, leading candidate
for the Democratic nomination ioI
governor, showed how as mayor Of
Kansas City and later as congress
man he had successfully fought the
sggressions Of big corporations.
Mr.. Cowherd is quoted as follows
by the Jefferson City Tribune:
'"At this time, when railroad rate

courts and proper control of the
great corporations is one OF the vital
issues OF the hour, she people have a

C6WHERD OUR NEIGHB0R.

In Bates county four weeks ago the
sentiment had practically crystslized
upon Hon. ". 5. Cowherd, OF Kan
sas City, for governor. This for the
reason that most OF our people en-.
Joy a personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Cowherd and Others know him
by reputation, and all recognize his
pre-eminent abilities and fitness for
the high office OF governor. Our peo.
pie watched his public career as
Msyoroi Kansas City, when he stood
out boldly against all graiters and
evil influences which are a mighty
power in great city. Mr.. Cowherd
presented q heroic figure as q young
man battling for the rights Of the
people against those great forces led
by q metropolitan journal which is
notorious for it's advocacy Of those
influences, the manager OF which has
ownimmensely wealthy of such Ill.
gotten gains, and which paper has
relentlessly pursued Mr., Cowherdeve
since, and is now bending every en-
ergy to encompass his defeat. While
1t cannot successfully assail his pri.
vate public record, 1t ispersistently
circulating false and deiamator arti.
Giles about his present canvas, charg-
ing all kinds OF trades and combina-
tions, VIII ic b in themselves are
ridiculous and made to deceive the
unwsry, 1t has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the Democrats OF
Kansas City that It ,s a badge OF
honor for any Democratic candidate
to have the Stars opposition, and q
matter OF suspicion for any Demo.
crat to have its support.
Mr. Cowherd's record In Congress
can be approved by any good Demo-
crat or American citizen, for that
matter. Ii has withstood the closest
scrutiny OF his bitterest enemies, the
Kansas City Star included, and not
oneinstance can be pointed out here
In he failed TO do his whole duty to the
people OF his district and the whole
country, and bis voice and vote were
always for the people against trusts
and combinations.
Mr.. Cowherd is our neighbor and
friend and few campaigns In the past
20 years that he has not visited our
county In the interest OF the Demo.
cratic ticket. He is big enough and
good enough to make an ideal gov
ernor, and everything else being
equal we should support candidate
from our own section. When Bates
county wants anything, We look to
our neighbor counties, and they have
always responded. There Is every
reason for our people to vote for Mr..
Cowherd for Democratic nomination
for governor, and we believe they
will do so and by giving him an
overwhelming majority, place Jack.
son county under special obligations
to US In the future.
