IT'S UP TO THOMAS!

The announcement of Mayo
Thomas, of independence, Kans.,
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for congress from the
Third district, subject to the &C
ton of the voters at the prima-
ries to be held August 4th in the
various counties, appears in the
announcement column of the
News.
We regret to say that we cam
not speak of Mr.. Thomas candi'
dacy in the complimentary terms
usually employed by newspapers
in calling attention to the an
nouncement of candidates.
To be perfectly frank with
Mr.. Thomas, we will say to him
that,his congressional candidacy
is extremely distasteful to a very
large number of Democrats all
over the Third congressional dis
trict. And this feeling of re-
pugnance is but natural when we
consider the official misconduct OF
which he stands charged during
his tenure as prosecuting attor-
ney Of Montgomery county in
1904, said charges, up to the

The Bio Reunion.

The directors OF the Inter-
State Reunion Association held a
meeting at the Office of the As
ISOLATION in this city on Friday
of last week and made prelimi-
nary arrangements looking to the
holding of the big Reunion this
year. A. G. Hanback, of this
city and VIM. March of Galena
were chosen as directors to take
the places of ]. M. McNay and
VIM. Smith, deceased.
Many important matters were
taken up and discussed. The
tent contract for this years Re-
union was made, and more tents
than ever before were contracted
for.
It was decided to make some
improvements on the grounds, and
they will be made at once.
The license agent made a very
flattering report regarding the
concessions, and promised that
matters in his department would
be up to the standard if not in
excess of former years.
Capt. Ed. w. Arnold, of La
mar, Mo-, attended the meeting.
He is one of the directors.

cused of having secured a large
income from the men who were
at that time violating the pro-
hibition law, and in this way,
going into Office a poor man, he
came out two years later COM
paratively wealthy"
He is charged with standing
in" with gamblers, joint keep
ers and disreputable characters
and accepting brides from them
as immunity from prosecution.
He is charged with having re-
ceived royalties from the sale of
Pabst, Budweiser and Helm beer
in defiance of law in Montgom-
cry county, these royalties
amounting, in one months sales.
to the sum of $4,000.
He is charged with boodling,
accepting brides, malfeasance,
misfeasance, perjury, betrayal OF
public trust and other miscon.
duct that, if true, should utterly
disquality Mr.. Thomas for the
position to which he aspires.
Up to this writing Mr.. Thomas
has made no attempt to clear
himself of these charges. The
character and high standing OF
the men who have preferred
them, and who are protesting
against his candidacy, make il
all the more imperative that Mr..
Thomas, if innocent, should come
forward and exonerate himself
They cannot be ignored on the
ground that they emanate from
incredible or malicious sources
a subterfuge often resorted to
by INSCRIPTIONS politicians to
conceal their guilt and avoid
public condemnation. There is
a silence more conirmatory OF
guilt than the most positive
proof would be, and Mr.. Thomas
cannot hope to strengthen con-
fidence in himself by refusing to
enter a plea to the indictments
against him!
Mr.. Thomas should remember
that this is an epoch of aroused
public morality, and that so long
as these charges hang unrefuted
over his head, his claims to pub
lie confidence are vitiated and
his candidacy for a high Office is
little short of an affront to the
democratic voters of the entire
district.
It's up to Mr.. Thomas to make
a noise like an exoneration or
