DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
ENDORSES MIR. HENsLFY

AT IA meeting of the Democratic
Committee Of st. Francois county
last Saturday, called for the purpos,
Nof recommending to the County
court Democrats for judges of tn,
general primary election on August
| I'd, the following resolutions indors.
ing Walter l.. Hensley's candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress, were unanimously and
enthusiastically adopted:
Whereas, We, the Democratic
County Central Committee Of ST.
Francois County, now here duly
called and assembled on this the
18th day of June, 1910, believe that
the p0litical "signs of the times
warrant us in believing that the
Thirteenth Congressional District
may be redeemed and Democrat
elected to Congress on November
Sth, next; and,
Whereas, st. Francois County,
which polls more Democratic votes
than any other of the counties com
posing this Congressional District,
has, in the person Of Hon. Walter
l.. Hensley, Democratic candidate
for Congress, one whom we con
fidently believe can carry this coun-
~ at the general election, If nomi-
mated, and whom we assuredly be.
lieve will receive the almost univer-
sal support Of the Democratic voters
at the August primary; therefore be
it,
Resolved, by the Democratic
County Central Committee, that we
commend Mr.. Hensley's candidacy
to the Democratic voters of the 9th
or ten counties of this Congressional
District and respectfully urge them
to support him, believing as we do
that with his nomination and his
name on the Democratic ticket ut
the general election, we will redeem
this district and send to Congress
Democrat who will more truthfully,
by his voice, his vote and his in
fiuence, represent the common peo-
pie; and we further respectfully urge
his claims and their consideration,
upon the facts that he is in every re-
spect capable, being n man of I'M
iInpeachable moral character and
enNiable reputation as LAWYER;
that he is a young man, full of en-
ergy, Il most competent and thorough
organizer, and first class cam
paigner; and, while not n biennial
candidate, yet has the record OF
never having been defeated at a pri-
mary nor general election; that his
nomination will greatly assist the
party IN carrying this county at the
general election; aud, finally, that
he Is the strongest Democrat to
nominate against the Republican
candidate, whom he overwhelmingly
defeated for the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney; but ut the same time we
desire II to be thoroughly understood
that we cast no reflections, either
personally or politically, upon his
Democratic opponent; and, be it
further,
Resolved, that copy of these re-
solutions be furnished the Demo- |
cratic press of this county, with the
request that they be published.

AS TO CONGRESSMAN.

The political situation in this
Congressional District seems now
to have taken sufficient form to en-.
able one to make somewhat def q.
mite forecast. AS TO the Republ.
cans. the present incumbent, Hon.
Polite Elvins, has no Republican
opponent and will therefore be
that party's nominee.
There are only two Democratic
candidates for Congress, Walter
l.. Hensley of st. Francois county
and Edward A. Robb of Perry
county. Judging from the press
notices and individual reports,
these two gentlemen have been
quite active in presenting their re-
spective claims to the individual
voters throughout the district.
While we believe it to be the best
policy for a Democratic paper not
to take too partisan stand, either
for or against any given candidate,
yet we hold to the opinion that we
are warranted in not only express.
ing our views, but even our pref
erence AS to party candidates, in
II way that will in no sense be "A
reflection upon other candidates.
After careful survey of the
congressional situation of this dis
trlct, we are Of the apinion that
our fellow townsman, Mr.. Hensley,
has decidedly the better Of his op-
ponent, and every indication
points to his nomination by sub.

Hensley is nominated, the Demo.

standard-bearer whose private |
character is unimpeachable, whose
professional ability is among the
very best, whose organizing and |

the highest order, and who will be

when he shall have taken his seat

and the people will have Il repre-.

spect represent the whole people

twelve members of the journalistic
