ST. Louis Patriots Awake

There was organized in ST. Louis
several months ago what is known as
the Independent Voters League. Many
OF our readers in 81. Louis and vicinity
are familiar with the good work they
accomplished In the primaries this
fall, and the Roman Catholic candi.
dates for once in that primary will
remember their work TO their dying
day.
The Menace Is in receipt OF samples
OF their literature prepared for the
coming election in November. The
data covers every candidate for ONCE
in Missouri from governor down to the
candidates for congress In the va
rious districts and includes the candi'
dates for city Offices in 81. Louis.
The Independent Voters League are
going to make themselves felt in the
coming election. and every voter in
81 Louis and vicinity should get their
literature and see for themselves what
they are trying to accomplish. Indi.
yidual members Of the league have
been to great expense in this cam
paign and they should have the finan.
eial assistance, OF all patriots who are
able to assist them. Whatever you
do. send them ten cents for a supply
OF their literature and get into the
fight. Address the Independent Voters

Readers Of The Menace will no
doubt be stunned 70 know that
this paper has reached such
financial proportions that IL would
be made the defendant in a suit
for such an enormous sum OF
money as one hundred thousand
dollars-in fact IL stunned us
but when suits for damages arc
brought the limit is usually asked
for, as we understand IL and Il
was Just as wise, therefore, that
the plaintiff ask for one hundred
thousand dollars as TO ask for
fifty cents.
In filing this suit the plaintiff,
Peter Z. Burress, Of Joplin, Mo-,
asks for four years salary as
sheriff Of Jasper county, Mo-, and
fifty thousand dollars damage 10
his character and social standing
for being called a Roman Catholic,
etc, and charges that this paper
was the cause Of his defeat for the
nomination for sheriff Of Jasper
county before the democratic pri-
mary election recently held in that
county. The attorneys for the
plaintiff were in Aurora last Fri
day taking depositions in the case
and the same is being done in Jop-
