Some one sent US an article
that there would be no labor
issue in the new capitol building.
Unfortunately the people in
charge Of this undertaking made
their statement too late to have
any weight. We have received
many circulars, signed by reliable
parties, to the contrary. The
fact that the public was given a
barrel Of bombastic talk and
kept in the dark regarding
important facts shows a
determination to mislead and
misrepresent and as long as such
a spirit possesses our leaders
tn ey should be rebuked at the
polls, capitol or no capitol.

Special Election

Next Tuesday, August LIST, the
special election to vote on the
$500, 900 bond issue for a new
state capital will occur. II
requires two.thirds Of the entire
vote to carry the proposition. II
is not our mission to say how you
should vote. Use your best
judgment as to what is right,
then vote. We believe a full
vote is essential to show the
public sentiment. A full vote is
always essential as it also warns
grafters that they can't buy an
election with a few dollars.

For the uniformed we will say
that the state needs a new capitol
building. In our estimation two
million would be sufficient. there.
fore the proposition is wrongly
put to our voters. II is also
agreed that II will be built from
Missouri material by Missourians,
which is correct. but no Missourian

Prospects are that Saline

The Capital Proposition

Editor Republican:

that the State Commissioners had
bargained with union labor for
their vote and influence in the
election Of August LIST for an issue
of 31s millions of bonds to erect
a new State-house.

that union Ia Dor should control

materials should be furnished by
the dealers in the state Tor native

what we want to know is why
was this bargain made. Is not
the great bulk Of labor outside
the unions, Why were not their
interests considered? We all
know that the state house would
cost a third too much il tied to a
labor trust. Now this bargain
having been made should not the
great body Of voters in this state

So why did they do it7
