An Open Letter,

Lexington; Mo, Aug. 3, 1905.
To The Hon. County Court;
The Undersigned, who were
Judges and clerks at the state
primary election held on the 4th
inst, desire to call your attention
to the conditions surrounding
the court house precinct and to
suggest a remedy therefor.
First, there is the fact that
this is one of the largest pre-
cincts in all the state. Had a
full vote been cast there would
have been, approximately, eigh-
teen hundred, whereas there
we're only a thousand. If a full
vote had been cast the judges
and clerks would not have fin
ished in an extra twenty four
hours for the reason that, as it
was, they were exhausted aud
worn out. Efforts heretofore have
been made to divide this vote,
establishing precincts in other
parts of the city and recently, at
Prairie church, but experience
has shown that the people insist
on voting at the court house.
Men who have served as judges
and clerks at the court house
heretofore know what is before
them and refuse to serve a second
time. 1t is almost impossible to
get men who are quick and com
potent to submit to such an or
deal, however attractive the pay
be, which it never is, In the
cities a precinct rarely has more
than three hundred votes. Why
should a precinct like Lexington
have six times as many We
therefore desire to suggest the
following remedy for these evils
which apply as well as the gen.
eral election in November as they
do at the state primary.
First: Establish four pre-
cincts in the four wards of the
city at the usual voting places
for the city elections, the second
ward precinct at the city hal
and require all residents Of the
city to vote in their own ward.
Second: Establish a precinct
at the court house for the voters
Of the township living outside
the city limits.
This will still make q large

All Together.

With the primary election
over some of our brother Demo
cratic editors will probably re-
alize now the folly Of their ran
tankerous support Of the candi-
dates Of their choice before the
primary. Loyalty to the indi-
vidual is all well enough, but
the amount of bitterness that
was stirred up in some sections
was entirely uncalled for and
places those papers and editors
now in the position either to re
trench, or fail in their duty to
the party The manly thing to
do is to back up" but it will be
rather calling on the part of
some who permitted their most.
interest indiyidualism to carry
them beyond proper bounds. 1t
has been a battle in whicha great
deal of ammunition was totally
wasted, but our Republican foes
need take no courage from that,
for it is a significant fact that the
Democratic country press has
always gotta full arsenal and the
powder is kept eternally dry.
The campaign before the pri-
mary was just a preliminary bout
before the November contest.
We can understand why some
of our country editors mixed in
it. With the absolute security
Of Democratic victory in the state
this fall and the best assurance
of a national success, we have let
our enthusiasm to get into the
ARRAY walk away from those
principles that would have been
best to adhere to in the contest.
There has been no irreparable
harm done if we all get together
and pull together for the ticket
as chosen by the majority Of the
voters of the party at the election
Tuesday. A solid formation is
needed, for we are as apt to be
attacked by the Republicans
from the rear as in the fore.
ground. With a solid forma-
ton we have won half the vic.
tory, for with the national plat.
form before us we have some.
thing to fight for and with the
consciousness of right and jus,
tice let US battle toward those
goals.
An togetherl Let us get after

Don't Be Hoodwinked.

If you are a democrat answer
me this one question, why did
the Kansas City Star, St Louis
Post Dispatch, Globe-D Democrat
and every little republican paper
in the state want Bill Cowherd
defeated? Why did they not
try and defeat one Of the other
democrats for GOVERNOR Now
watch these same trust papers
try and defeat old Bill Stone,
the grandest Roman of them all.
Why do they want Stone de-
feated? Because they know him
to be a stalwart champion Of the
people without fear or shadow OF
turning. If you can shoot down
the generals Of an army you can
easily defeat the army. How
these paid trust sheets do hate a
Democrat. And you know some
poor Mandy pamby democrats
that follow such journals.
