ITO be absolutely frank about the
matter, MIR. Folk ought not enter

ne does Ii means great big fac
tional fight in the democratic ranks,
worse than anything We have 'yet
had, and this will certainly do she

shat Folk will loose. Folk can't beat
Stone for senator In state primary.
Stone IL the greatest rampaigner in
Missouri. Besides, he's entitled 80 q

party Mr.. Folk ought to keep ous OF
the race
Omar Gray Is, and has been, one
nj the most zeaious supporters MIR,
Folk has had. He supported him
during his campaign for governor
and hos stood by him ever since.
Gray, now, holds no remunerasive

Is not seeking any. He is editor and
owner OF the Sturgeon Leader and is
making money out OF his newspaper.
He is able, honest and fearless IN the
advocacy OF whatever he deems TO
be right. He supported Folk Ter
governor because OF she things which
Folk claimed he stoodior-and Gray
was absolutely honest about the
matter too. He Is still a supporter
OF Folk 80 long as Mr.. Folk is right
and proceeds along able, clean and
consistent democratic lines.
