Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-23
To the Democratic Voters of the
Second Congressional District.


Conscious of my great obligations
and confessing without hesitation
or embarrassment my undying graf
itude for the confidence you have
so generously reposed in me, | pre-
sent myself as a candidate for re-
nomination. True, | have been
nominated and elected several con-
secutlve terms, but during each and
every term given me, [ have tried
to serve you so faithfully and well
as to merit and win your approval
Two years ago my opponent as
sailed my official record and | re-
turned to the district to defend and
sustain it. By an overwhelming
vote the good people upheld my
record and rebuked my accuser
This time my record has not been
assailed and, therefore, have con-
Guided to remain here in the dis
charge of duty, leaving my fate en-
tirely$Lin your hands, seeking only
to influence your judgment by the
recital of a few facts which | re-
specially ask you to read and con-
slider.
From expressions coming to me
from every county in the district |
am persuaded that there is no gen.
eral demand or desire on the part
of the people for a change. Indeed
this conclusion is justified by the
conduct of the few personal and po-
litical foes, who, following the lead
of j. H. Whitecotton. made repeated
trips from county to county, max
ing overtures to various gentlemen
whom they hoped to induce to OPP
pose me. The candidacy of Mr..
Jones, a splendid citizen of Living
ston county, is the result.
Any worthy citizen has a right to
offer his services to the public, and
some worthy citizen will always do
so when the public welfare or q
General demand invites him, with
out the urgent solicitation of one
who was recently so badly defeated
at the polls that in the end he dare
not himself enter the contest though
he repeatedly declared himself a
candidate.
Mr.. Whitecotton still nurses thu
wrath engendered by defeat TIVE
years ago. Some applicants for of
fee became offended because coulC

down and worship certain gentle
men who overestimate their import
ance and, hence, it was decreed b,

whether il is demanded by tie sem
timent of the district or not After
futile efforts with a distinguished
citizen of Monroe county, who is a
lawyer and a politician after
failure to eutice Mr.. WhitecOtton's
law partner in Moberly 10 an
nOunce; after failing to receive a
response to his own "wooing." Mr..
Whitecotton sung his siren song to
Mr.. Jones and received a favorable
reply Thus, handful of discon-
tented gentlemen, each having a
supposed grievance, induced oppO-
sitiOn to me and they will now seek
to arouse prejudice to secure votes
for him.
How long has Mr.. Whitecotton
believed the second congressional
district needs the services of a
farmer in congress?" Mr.. Jones
was eligible two years ago and
would have gotten more votes than
Mr.. Whitecotton, but Mr.. WhitecOt-
ton did not think the people requir-
ed the services of farmer at that
time. He has not changed his mind,
but, from force of circumstance,
has been compelled to change his
tactics.
A few days ago Mr.. Jones made
his opening speech at Brookfield,
followed by Mr. Whitecotton. They
both spoke in terms OF praise oil
Presinent Wilson, lauded and eulo-
/ gized his splendid achievements and
pronounced the laws written into
the statutes during his administra,
/ ton OF inestimable value to all the
people In heartily endorsing and
commencing the work of this ad
ministration, these gentlemen nee
essarily endorsed my record because
they know, as everybody knows
that | have stood with the president
and voted for every administration
measure.

millions to be used in cooperation
with the states in making and main
tanning good public roads-not
Cross State Highways, nor good
roads to run from cOuntyseat to
countyseat only, (though these are
of great value), but good roads that
every farmer can use and enjoy il
hauling the products of his farm to
his town or railway station. ! be-
lieved that public money thus used
in the great producing states teem-
ing with population, would be pro.
ductive of more good than money
expended III sparcely settled Alaska.
Money used in any public work is
drawn from all the people and
should therefore, be so wisely and
judiciouSly expended as to permit
all to share the benefits would
not tax ell the people to build a
single road, but would distribute
the benefits to all who bear the bur
den. The bill we passed throu IN
the lower house of congress is far
more comprehensive than mere
Cross State Highways, or County,
seat to Countyseat good roads, be-
cause it would extend the blessings
of good roads to the farm gate of
substantially every producer of food
products demanded by millions of
consumers and enable the farmer
to haul a reasonable load at all
times and under all conditions, at
reduced cost. Will my opponent
criticise me for voting for appropri-
ations for good roads rather than to
construct railroads in far away
Alaska?
No one will deny that William j.
Bryan is close observer of men
and measures, or doubt his unwav-
ering loyalty to the people In
1912. speaking through the Com
moner, he said:
/ Congressman W. w. Rucker, of
Missouri, should enter the race for
the prize. ii one is offered. to the
member making the best record for
the term He has three important
measures to his credit. First, the
election of senators by popular vote
Second, publicity before the cleo
tion as TO campaign contributions
Third, publicity as to the expenses
of presidential candidates before the
convention. This has passed the
house and is now in the senate.
/ These measures are of great i'm.
! pOrtance the first and second are
epoch making and the third is far
reaching in its effect. FUCKERS
RECORD IS ONE TO BE PROUD
OF. Well done, good and faithful
| public servant"
My record is as good in this con-
gress as it was in the last. The
attitude of my opponent and his ac-
tive supporters is an admission that
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-23

the only objection they can make
to my record is to its length. That
is a criticism of your judgment and
not of me. Zach election is for two
years only.
No one accuses NE of neglect of
duty; nor tlat l nave been unmind-
ful of The personal interests of the
humbIest citiz.I.S of my district;
nor that have not at ali times
been unfaIterin6 in my devotion to
the principles Of my aTty; nor that
] have not under all circumstances
been steadfast and faithful in my
efforts to alleviate and improve the
condition Of every man who pro-
duces, and of ev'ry man who tolls;
nor that | have not z alousIy sup
ported all progressive legislation
suggested or endorsed by President
Wilson.
/ set my record Of work anu &C
complishment against the mere per-
sonal ambition Of my opponent, Mr..
Jones. and the ill-foUnded griev-
ances, of his active supporters, and
submit the issue to the thoughtful
judgment Of the intelligent voters
of the greatest district in Missouri.
Over his signature Mr.. Bryan
said to you. through the Commoner
for June 1914:
The importance Of electing a
congress that will be in sympathy
with President Wilson's administra-
ton cannot be overestimated. If
your district is represented by a
progressive democrat who has given
President Wilson hearty support, it
is the duty of all progressive demo-
Gratis to renominate and elect him."
Invite the support of every dem
ocrat who thinks my record worthy
of endorsement. Ifre-elected | will
be as true, loyal and faithful to the
interests of the people of my dis
trict in future as | have been in the
past
If it should appear that can re-
turn to the district without neglect
of duty, will do SO; otherwise, l
will remain here unless my record
should be assaulted. In that event |
will return to vindiCate il, as will
ask no man to endorse a record
which | cannot show is absolutely
untarnished by wrongs, either of
omission or of commission.
With a deep sense of gratitude to
all who have or will repose conf
dence in me- | confidently submit
my interests into the hands of the
democracy of the second district of
