every contention, because no one
can deny it's statements, yet the
Frisco employees, some of them,
are incensed at us because we
told the truth, brought out the
facts and informed the public.
How about it? If a man is not
legally qualified to hold Office,
can't you people think the matter
over and consent to let the law of
the land preserve its honor and
dignity? Why should these men,
not qualified under the law to

by the Frisco, and we are sorry
he did not sign his name. Here
it is:
In the recent city election held in
Chaffee a number of prominent rail-
road men we're elected to office In the
first ward John Kay, machinist, was
elected by an overwhelming majority;
in the second ward William Ellis,
switchman, was elected; in the third.

! Rice in a close race for mayor; Char
| les Osborne defeated Car Foreman
Beinert, in the most exciting race ever
witnessed in Chaffee: Thomas Jack
son, handy man, defeated James
; Hamilton by a large ma jority for city
marshal. Results of the election
! proved that Chatfee believes her rail
road men good citizens.
Now. that is just as plain as it
can be, and is right. tl,atio" is a
Frisco town. The Frisco bought
the land. plated it into city lots.
sold the lots, buildod fine town.
and why should they not have a
n right TO the city offices to con
duct tn" affairs of a town that be-
longs to them? We say they have
got right to the offices and
should have them, because the
town is theirs and they should
conduct it's affairs.
But the gentleman who sent us
the above, evidently thinks we
have questioned the Frisco en-
ployes as good citizens, when
nothing is further from the
truth. In the past we have been
the best friend the Frisco boys
had in the city. The files of our
paper will show that we have
never lost an opportunity to say
a good word for them. But the
Frisco boys have made a mistake.
They have allowed their brother
hood and unionism to get the
best of them. Hayti is different
to Chaffee. The name, Hayti was
not even on the Frisco folder map
until the Hayti Herald had it put
| there in 1909. The Frisco never
did anything for Hayti. The
founder of the town gave half of
his farm to Louis Houck in order
to get Houck to make a stopping
place here. The citizens of Hay
ii gave Seth Barnes 900 to
build his road from Portageville
to this city, to be builded south
by-way of the present cutoff" 5"
but before the road reached Hay
ii it was sold to Caruthersville
and run by that city, about | Z
miles out of the way. The citi-
zens of Hayti gave S40O towards
building the old Frisco depot and
bought and donated to the Frisco
100 feet of land through the
Oates farm, or addition.
Hayti was builded by the peo-
pie, not the Frisco, and the peo-
pie have the right to conduct it's
affairs.
Is any man going against his
master? Is any man, the EN-.
ploye of a large corporation, go.
ing against that corporation: Are
the Frisco employees in this city,
if elected to Office, going to en-
force the laws OF this city where
the Frisco is concerned? How
are we to get crossings, grades,
bitches, etc, and other improve
ments, if Frisco employees are in
office, unless the Frisco is willing
to it?
But, aside from this, if the
Frisco employees are going to vote

have heretofore rendered their

necessary to dig them and put
