Notice.
To THE VOTERS OF TANEY COUNTY
MISSOURI:

To THE VOTERS OF TANEY COUNTY
MISSOURI:
Shortly after the primary election,
in contemplation of removing from
here to Oklahoma, I said to the Dem
ocratic County Central Committee
that would place my declination of
the nomination which I had received
for the Office of Prosecuting Attorney
in their hands, and later would file
same with the County Clerk. From
this action rumor has gone out over
the county that I have withdrawn from
the race and am not a candidate.
Since that time, owing to the insist
ence of my friends, both Democratic
and Republican, l have concluded to
stay in and make the race.
So now am in the race to stay
until the last vote is cast at the com
ing November election. Then I ex-
pect to qualify and serve the people.

in ten years will have it entirely wiped
out.

There is great deal of talk and al
most universal condemnation of Sena-
tor Lorimer, of Illinois, who it is charg-
ed, secured his election by bribery of
legislators. They have In Illinois a
primary election of United States Sena-
tor somewhat similar to ours in Miss
ouri. At the primary two years ago
Albert ]. Hopkins, who was then in the
senate, received the majority of Re-
publican votes for Senator. But when
the legislature met there were some of
the Republican Legislators who would
not vote for Hopkins with the result
that there was long drawn out dead
lock. Near the end of the session
most of the Republicans and a few of
the Democrats, enough to make ma
jority. voted for and elected William
Lorimer, a Republican. Later it was
SAda SCo tIAeal lilSSC OSAuOSiol1S SOISS
and some of the Republicans were
bribed to vote for him. There have
been few trials but no convictions so
far and committee of the United
States Senate is investigating the affair.
Despite the failures, it looks to me
like Lorimer was guilty. If he is he
should be and doubtless will be ousted
from the office. People of all parties
condemn bribery and rightly so.
Missourians, like other folks, are con-
demning Lorimer, yet some of them
rae aiding and abetting practically the
same thing. The difference is this,
Lorimer bribed the Legislators after the
primary, in Missouri the bribery is be-
ing done before the primary.
In this state there are FIVE candidates
for United States Senator on the Demo-
crat, and six on the Republican ticket.
Can you name them? Blamed if can |
I'd have to go and look them
up. Now the voters are going to
choose the Senatorial candidate of their
party.> Say you Republicans, who are
you going to vote for as your party's |
candidate7 Isn't it more than likely |
that you are going to depend on what |
your Republican papers and party lead
ers advise your Hnot, where are you
going to get the information on which |
to base your vote? Now if this paper
and few influential Republicans in the |
county should take pay to advise you
10 vote for a certain candidate, wouldn't |
hat be bribery just as much as if our
member of legislature took pay for vot-
ng for a certain candidate2 There !
may be. difference but it is SO slight
that can't see it. Wouldn't it be the
same if it were Democrats who were
.aking the pay? Or are you one of
he kind that thinks that Demo
rat is naturally better than a Repub-
lean and can do things without sin
hing that it would be sin for Repub-
ican to do? That's what the Demo
cratic campaign in Taney county is
oeing made on and they think they
ire going to get q great many Repub-
ican votes on that platform.
That is exactly what is going on in
Missouri. Democratic papers and
eaders in every county are being
bought up to influence the Democratic
yoters to vote for the millionaire can
iidate for Senator. Condemning Lo-
inner and embracing Francis is GER
ainly a case of straining at gnat and
swallowing a camel.

RAMBLING REMARKS.
BY JOE G. UPTON.

The platform adopted by the state
conference of Democrats makes loud
noise ON national affairs but is very
quiet on state issues. They know
that the Hadley administration is ex-
ceedingly popular with the people and
that the less they say about it the bet
ter it will be for them.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1910-09-29

During the primary election there
was no one who said meaner things
about Joe Russell than his Democratic
opponent, Geo. w. Michael. Russell
and the Democratic press set up the
howl that Michael was liar and the
truth wasn't in him. The day after
the primary Russell swore out a war
rant for Michael and had him arrested
for libel. All the Democratic papers
were careful to tell about this. Have
you heard any more about it? Has
the case come to tTial7 It has not
1t is question of veracity between
the two men, Russell says Michael is
a liar and Michael says Russell is a
liar. A trial of this case would clear
the atmosphere and let the people
know the true merits of the contro-
versy. But it's dollars to doughnuts
that the case will not be tried before
election. There's reason.
In another column we print card
from Col. r. c. Ford stating his po-
sition in the race for prosecuting at
torney. In addition to the reasons
given by the Colonel there are reasons
why the rumors have gone forth. The
Colonel has said in the presence Of
myself and others that he would never
again practice law before Judge John
T. Moore. He further said that Mr..
was good prosecuting at
torney and that a vote for him (Col.
Ford) was equivalent to a vote for
as he would not qualify if
elected and as cosequence McConkey
would continue to serve; and for these
reasons he said it was a race as to
whether McConkey or Wilson should
be prosecuting attorney, and ne adj
vised that those Republicans who pre-
ferred McConkey should vote for him
(Col. Ford). The Colonel now says
ne was only joking when he made
hose remarks but we respectfully sub
nit that joking is rather a poor spirit
n which to approach the responsible
lies of the office of prosecuting at
orney. Neither do think that it is
light for Republicans to vote for the
Colonel oD the theory that such a vote
S in reality vote for McConkey when
such is not the case. So give the
natter the greatest publicity, so that
he rumor may be overtaken if pos
ible. Col. Ford is a candidate, and
candidate in his own behalf and not
IS stalking horse for McConkey.

The Taney County Republican is anxious
to open up the discussion of local politics.
AS a starter we desire to call attention of
the voters to the fact that it is unreasonable
to expect the gang that foisted bonded
debt of over $40, 900 on the county to do
much better. For this debt the county has
not single improvement to show Now in
order to get this debt paid and keep up ex-
penses change is necessary. fancy
County Democrat.
Say, kid, what do you know about
Taney county politics or Taney county
affairs anyway? I don't believe you
know much, so I am going to start a
chart class for your special benefit.
Now get you pencil and paper, be a
good little boy and pay close attention
and I think you will learn something.
In the first place do you know that
for long time that Taney county was
solidly Democratic? I'll bet four bits
that's news to you.
Do you know that during that DEM
ocratic regime an indie btedn,ess of over
$50, 900 was incurred?
Do you know that the succeeding
Republican admins trations paid this
indebtedness down until now it is less
than $35, 900?
True there are $41,50 in bonds
outstanding, but there is over So, 600
in the sinking fund to pay them when
due. And that sinking fund is being
added to at the rate of 81, 600 a year.
And while the bonds are bearing S per
cent interest the sinking fund S bring
ing 8, thereby gaining ON the bonds at
the rate OF 8 per cent.
The gang that foisted the bonded
debt on this county was the Demo
cratic administrations of th,, seventies
and early eighties. Tae people rnade

LEAF DEALERS AWAIT
NEW TOBACCO CROP
Last Season S Growth Sold Out and Is Now i
Hands of Manufacturers and Consumers.
Farmers Satisfied With Prosnects

The tobacco men are having real
holiday, that Is. the warehouses and
men who deal in the loose leaf are, 1t
is true that they are not especially in
need Of rest, and 8 majority Of them
would rather not have a holiday, but
they are forceo to it for the simple
reason that the tobacco crop of last
year has been sold out, and all the leaf
that grew upon the soil of Virginia
and the Carolinas. the greatest tobac-
co growing lands OF the world, Is now
in the hands OF the manufacturers and
consumers. There is nothing for the
leaf dealers to do but to await a time
with patience until a new crop is ready
to be marketed.
The prospects for big crop that
will keep them busy in the days that
are yet to como are much better than
they were week ago. All OF tho re-
ports that come In from the farms are
to the effect that the good growing
weather which followed the rains has
vastly improved conditions, and the
crop on the hills Is showing improve
ments that make the hearts Of the
farmers glad.
A majority of the Richmond dealers
are attending the annual convention
OF the Tobacco Association OF the
United states, which Is being held on
poara an Ola Dominion steamship.
