The Taney County republican., 1910-07-07


Going back to the race for circuit
Judge, after making that trip felt con-
dent that Judge Moore was going to
win about according to the figures
given above. But the Crane Chronicle
OF last weeks says:
Every indication throughout the judicial
district points with certainty to the conclu-
sion that w. E. Renfro will poll more votes
than both his opponents combined, of this
Mr.. Renfro himself feels certain, and we
would like to see the man who ever heard
Mr.. Reniro boast, or giving off hot air in
terviews for effect, to hold up his hand. He
doesn't do such things. We have watched
him carefully the past five years, and have
never known him to make statement that
subsequent facts did not bear out. The
band wagon is going to be crowded.
Now I or the Chronicle man one is
either lying like dog or is badly mis-
taken. Realizing the fact that the
wish is farther TO the thought and that
I want to see Judge Moore win and he
wants to see Renfro win, and knowing
that being Moore man, I am more
apt to meet Moore men who if they
color their reports at all will color them
in Moore's favor, and that the Chron-
icle man is apt to meet other Renfro
men and and get reports colored in
Renfro's favor, am not going to say
that he is deliberately stating that
which he knows not to be the truth.
Maybe he really believes what he says.
But when I say that Judge Moore is
going to get more votes than Burkhead
and Renfro combined and he says that
Renfro will get more votes than Moore
and Burkhead combined it is evident
that one of us is monumental liar or a
mighty big fool And this is made
palmer when it is remembered that
VIII ole lot of people including Judge
Burkhead himself think that Burkhead
is going to win. Either the Chronicle
man or is so big liar or fool that no
dependence should be put on the guilty
one. So I put the matter up to
the readers of this paper. Take the
situation in your neighborhood las you
know it. If you think that Judge
Moore is going to get about as many
votes as Burkhead and Renfro COM
bined, believe me. If you believe that
Renfro is going to get as many notes
as Moore and Burkhead combined, be-
ieve the Chronicle man. I'll put it
even stronger. IF you know where
Renfro is going to get any considerable
vote in any community in Taney comfy
put me down as an ignoramus.
I also ran across the following in
the fancy County Democrat.
From the Taney County Republican we
learn that Judge John T. Moore is running
on his Record, particularly on the enforce
ment of laws relating to the sale of liquor.
Well, this viii be news to the voters of Ta-
ney county. It all depends upon the view
point. There are some who approve of
minimum fines and rebates for the breakers
of Anti-Saloon laws but we assure you the
majority of the Republicans and Democrats
in this county are not In this class.
Also I ran across the following in the
American Issue:
Ozark county held great mass meeting.
of it's citizens at Thorn6eld recently. The
whole question of state wide prohibition, a
clean legislature, and the election OF the law
officers was considered. The
meeting was presided over by state repre-
sentative Kyle. Judge John T. Moore, pre-
sent Judge of the circuit court, delivered an
address that wonderfully stirred the people
assembled. Judge Moore is candidate for
denomination and by the Record he has made on
the Bench as well as his stand on the temper
ance question deserves the vote of every Tsmpsr-
ance Republican in that Judicial district. Other
speakers were Messrs. Roberts, McGee,
Sullivan, Jenkins and others, including a
number of ministers who are always in the
forefront of any fight for better things.
Let every county that believes in citizen
ship first and the beer keg second stand
ton of clean legislature, and officers who
will enforce the law.
Here is another case. Those state
ments are fatty contradictory. One
Of those papers is badly mistaken or
is deliberately trying TO deceive the
people. The Taney County Demo-
crat is mainly interested in trying to
beat the nominees of the Republican
party. The American Issue is the
official organ of the Anti-Saloon League
Of Missouri. This league acts In
double capacity, that of prosecuting
violations of the liquor laws, and In as
;isting in the selection and election OF
,fficers who will best enforce those
avs. 1 is non-partisan and endorses
hose candidates for Office whom it
kinks will best enforce the liquor laws.
The league has watched the actions OF
Judge Moore in every county In the
circuit and say his record is good and
endorses him for election. The Taney
