a very efficient officer.

There is no splitting hairs with Mr.
Dockery, he ia for the straight ticket

who try to compromise with the
enemy.

Graf says, to look after his house
preparatory to moving the first OF

-Four years ago Missouri was lost

through overconfidence a lot of Dam
ocrats fail to vote. The way to In
sure success Is for each man to do his
duty, and there will be no regrets, for
full vote will insure Mr.. Bryan in
Missouri and elect the full Demo-
cratic ticket by a big majority.
The TINES has been searching
mighty hard for Hadley Democrat
but have fsiled to find, and for the
very good reason that there are
none. A man who votes for Hsdley
this time, is not q Democrat and
should make no pretens!ors In that
direction. W. s. Cowherd Is as good
a nominee as the party ever b.. d for
governor In the state, and we make
no exceptions. His public lie Ia with.

blameless. Every Democrat will he
