will be wise for judge before he de-
| cides a case to ascertain which side
can control the most votes.
Another element opposed to him is
| the silk stocking brigade. Judge
Moore is too common" they say.
Why, he even smokes corn cob pipe,
| they say. According to their ideas a
judge shouldn't smoke anything less
than ten cent cigars. Then they say
! that he isn't strict enough. If the
people are against judge who has
some regards for their feelings they
will vote against Moore. For he has
enough Sympathy that when it is cold
he allows the witnesses, jurymen and
| spectators TO crowd around the stove
and keep warm, and when it is hot he
dosen't compel them to stay in the
close, stuffy court room. The silk
stockings say that the witnesses and
iuTynan should be kept in the court
room and their seats in order that busi-
ness may be rushed. Most every
voter has business in court in some
capacity or other. And he should con-
slider whether he wants a Judge who
will treat him with some consideration
or feelings. We heard one of these
silk stocking fellows ask the other day
what do the city people think of the
way our courts are rum To tell the
truth, we don't believe the people OF
fancy county care a red cent what the
city" people think of it. They want a
common judge for common people
and they are going to vote for Judge
Moore.
Then there is the Mcknight ques-
ton. The people will remember that
after Mcknight had been released at
his preliminary examination that he
said he would continue his work as
prosecuting attorney. But Judge
Moore put his foot down and said
Mcknight should never practice in his
court - and Mcknight never did.
Whereupon Mcknight said that Moore
should never be again elected judge,
and all his friends are now working
against Moore. So that vote against
Moore is an endorsement of Mcknight.
How many want to cast such vote?
Every Democratic paper in the dis
trict is supporting Burkhead and op-
posing Moore. Wonder why? It's
easy. In 1905 Eurkhead was candi-
date against Geo. w. Thornsberry and
carried the district by only 329 votes.
He carried Christian by 21S and Or
ark by 243. He lost his own county,
Douglas, by 20 votes, Stone by 90
votes and Taney by 8 votes. On the
other hand in 1904 Moore was candi-
date against Col. Ford and carried the
district by 4404. He carried every
county in the district, Christian by 974
Ozark bv 687, Douglas by 1858, Stone
by 834 and fancy $50.
Read those figures, Republicans, and
study over them. Thornberry was not
a bit stronger candidate than Ford.
The difference was in the strength OF
Moore and Burkhead and Burkhead is
not bit stronger to-day than. he was
in 1902. Is it any wonder the, Demo
Gratis would like to see Burkhead nonai-
mated? They know that they. can't t
beat Judge Moore, but they do know
that with the temperance sentiment in
Ozark county Burkhead cannot carry
that county and if the Republicans
turn down Christian county's candidate
Burkhead can't carrv that county and as
he never could carry Stone, Douglas
and Taney counties, Thornberry could
carry every county in the district.
