Scores Clark at Monsaonery.
Gov. Hadley addressed the
largest crowd ever seen in the
Montgomery Courthouse. He dis
cussed national issues, and paid
especially remarks TO Champ
Clark. He said Mr.. Clark was his
personal friend, but politically he
was not standing for the best in
ts,ests of the people and should be
defeated. He said:
One Of the most interesting sit
uations of this not uninteresting
campaign is the contest between
Judge Roy and Hon. Champ
Clark in this district. This dis
trict is Republican, ought to be
representated by Repu blioan in
the National Congress. i carried
it in, 1908 by more an300 votes,
and MIR. Clark has been permitted
to represent the district in Con-
gress only through the indifference
of the Republicans.
Unless all signs fail this year
this district is going Republican
again, and, what is more, Mr..
Clark seems to know it. He is
just now very forcible example
of the statement that those whom
the gods would destroy they Arst
make mad, and in his fright he is
seeing things. First, he discover
ed great mares nest in an alleg-
ed conspiracy which existed only
in his own imagination on the
part of the rural mail carriers to
defeat him. His latest discovery
is that there existed conspiracy
on the part OF the census enumer-
ators to miscount the people of
Missouri and particularly the peo-
pie of the Ninth Congressional
District, SO that Missouri would
lose a Democratic congressman.
Ridicuies Claim oof Fraud.
The righteousness of this as
sertion and the injustice it does to
the many deserving men and
women who took census in this dis
trict is clearly manifested when we
consider the politics of these Gen.
sus enumerat0rs. There were ITO
census enumerators. in this district
10 of whom were women, 95 Re-
publicans, 66 Democratic and =
Thus, according to
Mr.. CLARK, the Republicans in
Washington and in the Ninth
O congressional Distric ct. have enter
ed into a conspiracy withi 100 men
and 10 women, only about one
half of whom were Republicans,
to perpetratc against Mr.. Clark
ane the Democratic party gig
antic fraud.
A general who would lead q
Falstaffian army against,a thor
oughly drilled and modernly
equipped force would be a very
wise man indeed as compared with
The political leaders who would
,onseive such conspiracy as Mr..
Clark has discovered ia his.dreams
md attempt to execute 1t with the |
lid of tho people, about one half |
If whom were Republicans and 10
If whoM were women.
II the people of the Ninth Con-
yressionsl DISTRICT wish to es4joy
he honor and distinction of fur
to the National Congress q
peaker, they will be far mare
likely to obtain that result by the
lection of Judge Roy than Of
,hamp Clark. and venture the
'rediction here to-day that when
'ou have kept Judge Roy in Con-
cess one-half as long as you have
'ept Champ Clark there he will be
peaker and not minority leader of
hat body.

In discussing the tariff, Gov.
iadley quoted Abraham Lincoln
nd said 1t was easy to understand
he issue by these words of the
nartyred president: "If l buy a
at in England, I get the hat and
England gets the money under
rotection; II l buy q hat in the
Jnited States, get the hat and ,
~ country gets the money"
