Gray Visits Versailles.


The St. Louis Republic of Tuesday
morning had news item stating that
Omar d. Gray, democratic candidate
tor congress from Boone county
would arrive in Versailles Tuesday.
Mr.. Gray came in on the Missouri
Pacific, accompanied by Mr.. r. +.
Rae. who has been acting as Mr..
Gray's Secretary, with he adquarters
at Jefferson, City since the cam
paign opened. Mr.. Gray and Mr..
Race have been warm friends for sew
eral years and the only objection this
paper has to both of them is that
they are loyal democrats. They are
too good to be classed with that par
ty. The REPUBLICAN recently printed
free Of charge Mr.. Gray's map of this
congressional district because this
paper learned that the only dem
ocratic paper in Morgan county re-
fused Mr.. Gray space to make this
announcement. This was so unfair
and smacked so strongly of bossism
that the REPUBLICAN rendered its
space to Mr.. Gray in order that he
might get before the democratic vot-
ters OF the county. Mr.. Gray freely
admits that the politicians and bosses
generally over the district are against
him but he is not at all alarmed, hav-
ing met personally at least three
fourths Of the voters of the district on
the farms and in the stores. Mr..
Gray's home county will give him
hall enough votes to secure the nomi.
nation and he has to have only about
500 votes in each of the seven coun.
ties south of the river to win out
