HON. JOS. TAPLEY, a prominent
lawyer Of Bowling Green, Mo-, in
writing the Ledger regarding the con-
gr~ess.onial contest very wisely says:
my Editor: II Champ Clark gets
the nomination of the Democratic
party for the presidency It will cause
a scramble in this Congressional Dis
trict for the nomination of a Demo
crat to fill his place. There has been
some little talk in this county that
some one from this county should
run, but OF course, nothing tangible
SO FAR has como to pass, and ! be-
lieve the majority OF the Democratic
voters In this county do not want

OF opinion is that no one from this
county should u at this time. Pike
county has had the honor of furnish.

The rest Of the district has grace

and 1t certainly would not be treat.

properly should Pike county ask fol-
the nomination. We have one can

dates for Governor and If some one
should run for Congress from this
county it would certainly look as Il
Pike county thinks that other coun.
ties have no timber sufficient to Of
