Major Opposes Single Tax.

Early last spring, and as soon
as the question was presented to
the people of this State for public
discussion, Attorney General Ma

the Single Tax. The st. Louis
POST Dispatch, on June 8, 1912, pub

torney-G General Majorfor his stand
on taxation, and accused him of
"favoritism to farm owners"
The st. Louis Post Dispatch is the
leading advocate Of the Single
Tax policy in this State. In its
attack upon General Major it said:
''His action overburdened st.
Louis homes, to tighten tGTes on

Missouri citizens for votes on the
ground that he has held down
their taxes gives color to the

And what does Major say?
This is what he says: 81 am OPP
posed to Single Tax because I am
opposed to heaping any further
burdens upon the overburdened
farm and home owners Of this
State; and ! opposed the trebling
Of the State assessments because
the trebling Of the assessments up

Let The Figures Speak.

"W. S. Cowherd has decided to
become a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor.
The Democratic party of course
wants to nominate the strongest
man. Upon that we are all agreed
That is why the rank and file of
the party are now for Elliott w.
Major. Let the figures speak.
"Cowherd was the Democratic
nominee for governor in 1908.
Major was the nominee for at
torney general upon the same tic
ket. Major ran more than 5000
votes ahead of Cowherd in the
state. Bryan was running for
president in the same election.
Major ran 2,549 votes ahead of
Bryan, while Cowherd ran 6,521
votes behind Bryan.
SIN Jackson county, Cowherd's
home, Major ran 658 votes ahead
of him. In st. Louis City Majors
lead over Cowherd was 1864.
While Hadley was defeating Cow
herd by a vote of, 1879, Major
was defeating his opponent by a
decisive majority. Although
Cowherd was fortified and sup
ported by all the power and pres
tige which attend the head of the
state ticket in a general election,
he ran behind Major in every
county in the state. And Elliott
w. Major was not then known SO
we'll as he is to-day. Now he is
running upon the best record ever
made in the Office of the attorney
general in this state.
"The figures of 1908 are in the
record. They are before the
people. A most casual and cur
sorry review of the situation will
disclose to any Democrat imbued
with the desire for party success,
that Mr.. Cowherd's candidacy at
this time would be most unWise.
Major is the man who can this
year, and his nomination ought to
be az certain as the profound
sense of loyalty that burns and
glows within the heart of every
true Missouri Democrat. "-Jefer-
son City Democrat. Tribune.
HERE in Iron county the ma
jorities were as follows: Bryan,
1903; Cowherd, 70; Major, 96;
Painter, 1902; Roach, 101; Gordon,
1902; Cowgirl, tO1. So that Mr..
Cowherd ran 20 behind the last
named four on the State ticket,
while Majors vote exceeded his
by II. With the nomination of
Gen. Major for Governor there
will be no 'ssore spots" to heal,
a faithful public servant will be
rewarded, and the ticket strength

l QUOTE from the Lewis County

l QUOTE from the Lewis County
Journal under date of June is, 1911:
Mr.. Cowherd has just written a
letter to Senator Fields from
which we quote the following of
interest to every Democrat in Mis-
souri, because of the loyal party
spirit it breathes:
81 do not intend to get into any
fight for nomination for governor,
and ! have come to this conclusion
for many reasons, while l would
as q matter of course appreciate
the honor of being governor of
Missouri, and all the more because
of my defeat in the last campaign,
yet from a financial standpoint, it
would be a great sacrifice; fur
thermore, l am exceedingly loath
to put myself in the position of
of seeking the place as a matter OF
personal ambition, regardless of
whether it is the best thing for the
party's interests.
81 realize that a campaign such
az was waged the last nomination
must necessarily have left many
sore spots, and the fight made on
me for election has quite possibly
estranged a good many Demo-
Gratis. Under these circumstances
l feel that there may be a question
among good party men whether |
am a proper person to nominate.
do not want to be in the posi-
ton of seeking nomination as a
personal ~vindication, and obtain
it on that kind of sentiment when
it might be a disastrous to the
best interests of the party. If the
nomination were rendered me,
which l consider under the pre-
sent situation utterly improbable,
if not impossible, l would be glad
to make the race, but l shall not
get into a scrap with a lot of other
Democrats, and go out into anoth-
er bitter fight for nomination, leav-
ing a lot of sore spots to turn up
afterward to the party's detri-
ment."
That was an excellent letter,
breathing the sentiment of a good
Democrat, unwilling that for per-
sonal ambition he would jeop-
ardize the fortunes of his party,
and it was accepted as an an
nouncement that MI. Cowherd
would not be in the race this year.
This left the way free for aspir-
ants to the Governorship, and
Attorney General Major early
this year announced his candidacy.
/ know I was surprised when the
statement was made in March that
Mr.. Cowherd would be in the race,
and at first refused to credit it, re-
lying upon the reasons he him
self had given as to why his candi-
dacy would be inadvisable. The
''sore spots" will reopen with his
nomination, and the chance for
victory in November be made
more uncertain.
