If the Democrats of Charlton
county do their duty next Tues

will carry the county for COVER

Next Tuesday, August 4, is the
date of the primary election, and
among other candidates to be
nominated are candidates for
congress.
The COURIER has only to do
with the Democratic ticket, and
on that ticket there are two con-
gressional aspirants, Judge w.
w. Rucker OF Keytesville and
Hon. L. A. Martin Of ChiIlicothe.
Mr.. Martin is making the race
principally as a local optionist,
but the COURIER questions his
right to he in the contest except
as the repre- sentative of some
political party.
Judge Rucker is seeking re.
nomination solely as a Democrat
and on the record he has made
in congress. That he is worthy
no one, not even the opposition,
will deny. Judge Rucker is a
man of the people and always
stands for that which he believes
to be for the best interests of his
constituents. He knows their
needs, he appreciates their diff.
ficulties, and as congressman has
proven his ability to faithfully
and impartially look after their
welfare. He is an honest, ups
right, sincere, clean man. There
is not a single objection that can
be made against his official career.
No man in congress is a harder
worker or q more gallant, deter
mined fighter for what he be.
lieves to be right than is Judge
Rucker. He is also a man of
fine social qualities and makes
friends wherever he goes. No
congressman in the Second con.
gressional district ever had as
warm friends and as many of
them as Judge Rucker. He has
proven that he is the kind of a
man to send to congress. That
the Lest results are obtained in
congressional districts where
men like Judge Rucker are kept
in congress can not be denied.
Mr.. Martin is an untried guam
tity, and the COURIER is uncom-
promisingly opposed to taking
any chances on change, owing
to the many important issues
that now confront the nation
The only reason that Mr.. Mar
tin gives for a change is that he
would like to go to congress, but
the people in this district are for
kucker, and we verify believe
that in his ambition to 60 to con.
gress Mr.. Martin is only chasing
q rainbow. l.

WE can not help but feel that
some of our dry ''friends," who
are opposing Cowherd for gov.
ernor, are ungrateful for the
work the COURIER did in the
local option campaign. By every
rule of fairness and proper ap.
preciation of the service we rem t.
dered, they ought to be for Cow
herd, but they are not. Such is
life. ''The inhumanity of man
to man makes countless thous-

Why Wallace?

| Wooh CudFltOl N6COFU6F uuUSf
the caption of "Wallace-Why?"
After paying MIR. Wallace
very high compliment as regards
his exememplary character, stain
less record, confessed ability,
marvellous brilliance as an ora.
tor, achievements as alawyer and
social gracefulness, the Recorder
declares that he is the only can.
didate against whom nothing can
be said from the standpoint of
good public morals.
Judge Wallace may possess all
of these traits: and yet the peo-
pie of Gallatin, while returning
home from church, found him
perched upon a shoe. sinners
chair getting his shoes shined on
the holy Sabbath, the day upon
which, Judge Wallace holds, all
lines of business and amuse.
ments should be suspended.
Judge Wallace also got his shoes
shined on the Sabbath while at
Keytesville Sunday, March 1,
1908.
Politically, Judge Wallace was
a traitor to the Democratic party
in 1896 and went off with
Palmer and Buokner, and voted
for them for president and vice.
president instead of Bryan and
Stevenson, the regular Demo-
cratic nominees.
Why should Judge Wallace
NOW be rewarded for his perfdy
to his party THEN? We say No
a thousand times No as long as
there are Democrats before the
people who have never proven
faithless to the principles of their
party and it's nominees.
And yet the Recorder has the
Z gall to tell it's readers that Wal.
lace is above suspicion. If he
could not be trusted in 1896 why
should he be trusted now?
The Recorder caps the climax
when it says that Wallace is the
only man who can carry the full
strength of his party. This as.
sertion IS not, perhaps, intended
as compliment to the oppos.
ers of Judge Wallace, but the
Recorder implies that those who
are against Wallace for the
Democratic nomination for gov.
ernor are good and true Demo.
Gratis and will vote for the nomi.
nee, whoever he may be.
The Recorder says further that
many Democrats would not vote
for Mr.. Cowherd. To what
democrats does the Recorder re.
fer? Certainly it can not refer
to Cowherd Democrats, for they
will not only be proud to vote for
him for the nomination for gov.
ernor, but will give him more
than their cordial support after
he is nominated. Does the Re.
corder intend to leave the i'm.
preston that Wallace Democrats
would bolt Cowherd's nomination
the same as Wallace bolted Bry.
ans nomination in 1896?
These inferences, inuendoes
and implied threats of the Re.
corder, together with Judge
WalIace's boiling record of 1896,
are ample reasons why he should
be defeated for the Democratic
nomination for governor next
Tuesday, August 4.
| The logical man for the Demo.
Gratis to nomin ate for governor is
VIM. s. Cowherd, and if you are
an old.time Democrat and be.
lieve in voting for good man
who never bolted his ticket and
has always been true to his party,
it's principles and nominees you
should cast your vote for Cow.
herd for governor.

the various fire proof materials going
into the approved construction of the
more substantial buildings are used in
greater quantities now than the world
dreamed of few years ago, yet the
heavy demand for lumber continues.
That wood predominates is shown by
the annual building records. OF the
permits used for buildings erected last
year, approximately 81 per cent were
constructed of wood, and the remain
ing 80 per cent. of fire resisting
material, according to Il report issued
by the Geological Survey on operations
in forty mine leading cities OF the
country. These figures are the more
significant when it is realized thai
they only represent the building ae-
tivities in the largest cities; they do
not take into account the construction
Of small cities and towns scattered

cities on which the reckoning is made
In towns and small cities wood Is
