HE CALLS
ROOSEVELT
plain LIAR

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-William s.
Cowherd, democratic candidate for
governor of Missouri, today in an
interview over the telephone from
Richland, Missouri, said:
Roosevelt shows himself big
liar when he says the present
democratic campaign received
100000 from it's predecessor. Ev-
erybody will realize it was impos-
sible for the last campaign to have
that much left over.
Roosevelt lies, just plainly lies.
Realizing that the defeat of
Taft is assured, the republican
party is in desperate straits.
Roosevelt has miserably failed
to make good his charges against
Haskell
THE story Is of whole cloth.
Roosevelt is trying to make himself
an issue by injecting himself in the
campaign, endeavoring to divert at
tention from the real issues to a
mud singing contest to elect his
protege."
The statement referred to was
given out by State Chairman Tim
othy Woodruff. New York, after a
conference with Roosevelt. He de-
clared it strange that such big
amount of money should appear in

today.
The country books, as compared
with those of the city. are uni

found this morning in Rockford

The astonishing prevalence of err.

to large extent attributed to the

not make its final report OF the

Emerys life, and also by the postal
authorities of Canada, for sending
letters of like nature to resident
of st. Thomas, Ontario.
Binns Is also accused of attempt
ing to dynamite the st, Thomas

badly lacerated hand and begged
him to perform an operation and
save the member. DR.. Emery under

The letter was unsigned. Finally
they began to come with every

guise the handwriting, and with
that for clew, the postal inspect.

Following Binn's arrest, he de-
clared that his injured hand gave
him so much pain that at times he
was insane from 1t. Little doubt
was left in the minds of the police
