tegrity can be claimed for Mr.. Cowherd
which could not with equal force and fair
ness be claimed for Alexander NJ. Dock
eryy Is there one among you who can
fairly claim for Mr.. Cowherd the expe-
rience in state affairs OF Lon v. Stephens?
And yet, under the administrations OF
these two men police corruption, election
frauds, sale of legislation and bribery in
legislative affairs, reached the very hey
DAY OF its rule. The experience Of Lon
V. Stephens did not prevent the purchase
OF q law from the legislature for the con-
solidation of the street railway systems
In st. Louis, and the other crimes which
were exposed in the Cardwell case. The
personal integrity Of Alexander Dockery
did not prevent the scandal Of the alum
deal, the crimes confessed by John A. Lee.
and police corruption and election frauds
In Kansas City and st. Louis. II there is
anght In the public service of Mr.. Cow
nerd during the fourteen years that he
drew an official salary that would give to
the people Of Missouri reason to believe
that Mr.. Cowherd would prevent a return
70 the conditions thatTStone, Stephens and
Dockery could neither prevent nor correct.
| will be very glad indeed II that evidence
can be submitted to the people Of Mis-

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
There is another question that I should
be glad to have Mr.. Cowherd and his
friends enlighten the people of Missouri
about. Mr.. Cowherd is in this campaign
loud in his praise of william j. Bryan and
the national Democratic platform. But up
to the present time, l have failed to note
wherein he has mentioned that plank of
the Democratic platform which declares in
favor of the publicity of campaign con-
trihNtions, and a careful reading Of the
Democratic state platform, In the prepara-
ton or which Mr.. Cowherd actively par
ticipated. fails to disclose any mention
or this interesting subject. l should like
to know where Mr.. Cowherd stands upon
this question. Is he in favor OF the pub
neity OF campaign contributions in the
Nation alone. and not In the State? Is
ne In favor OF the publicity Of campaign
contributions at an election and not In
favor OF those which are used to secure
a nomination? II he Is in favor OF the
publicity of all campaign contributions, l
suggest that he make public the names OF
the men who subscribed the $35, geo which
LAWYER p. DAILY, the Chairman OF the
democratic City Central Committee Of st.
Louis, says he knows was used In Mr..
Cowherd's Interest in the City Of st.
Louis. l do not ask Mr.. Cowherd to make
public oil the money that was raised and
used In his favor throughout the State. I
only ask that he secure the publication of
the contributions made fer him in st.
and the manner In which those
contributions were expended. Let him tell
the people how much was subscribed by
the representatives Of public service cor
Let him tell 20 how much
was subscribed by those saloons and liquor
which have violated the law In
tne Pist anu nope IN case OF MS election,
tell you how much those men who were
controi IN 81, Louis during the period
or police and election corruption gave to
sring ABOUT MS nomination. II Mr.. Cow
nerd Is not himself In possession OF this
information, l ask him to cab upon his
IN 81. Louis TO make this IN
nat PUBLIC. When, and only when.
