A Pleasant Occasion,

The Indian Creek picnic is always
a good place to be and the one
Monday was no exception to the
rule The crowd was large, the Or
der good, the citizens of that vicin-
ity WED with each other as to who
could make the occasion one of
greatest pleasure. And then the din
ner. If you have ever attended the
Indian Creek picnic it is useless to
tell you that the good things to eat
were in such abundance that after
all had eaten there was much re.
mained. In the afternoon there
was speaking by the County Candi-
dates. The occasion was taken ad-
vantage of to meet friends whom
we had not seen foc long time.
The Indian Creek picnic will long
be remembered with pleasure by
those who we're present Monday.

Democrats Should Elect Democrats
to Office.

Of the many splendid Democratic
newspapers of the Second Congress
sional District only four are for
Jones. These four are: The Paris
Appeal, a strong Wnitecotton pa
per; the Huntsville Herald, the edi-
tor of which has long been Fuckers
personal enemy; the Chillicothe
Constitution, published at Jones
home town and the Rrookfield Ar
gus, edited by disappointed Office
seeker.
Our Republican friends are work
ing to defeat Rucker. They have
heretofore sought to do this by
nominating a Republican candidate
That has been signal failure. This
year no candidate has filed either
as a Republican or Progressive
They are going to try the Jones
route. If JUDGES do their sworn
duty there will be no Republicans
vote as Democrats, unless they will
take oath to support the ENTIRE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET at Novem-
Der election.

Cattle Came Back.

About ten days ago seven cattle
disappeared from the farm of Frank
Bottorff near Greencastle. In few
days three COWS with young calves
returned home. The others were
found in the Kirksville slaughter
pens. They had been sold to the
Kirksville butcher by a farmer liv-
ing near Mr.. Bottorff. The cattle
were identified as being Mr.. Bott-
orft's and the man who sold them
and cashed the check has also been
identified AT the time this was
happening Mr. Bottorff was sick at

Bryan Comments on Rucker

Congressman w. w. Rucker of Missouri should
enter the race for the prize if 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 election to campaign contri-
buttons Third, publicity to the expenses of
presidential candidates before the convention. This
has passed the house and is now in the Senate.
These measures of great importance-the first
and second epoch-making and the third is far
reaching in it's effect FUCKERS RECORD IS

Is Jones the Man

Who ever heard in this county at
least. of Farmer" Jones as a Demo-
crat-who ever saw his name upon
a Democratic club lst-who ever
knew him to attend a Democratic
meeting or convention? When did
he ever contribute one dollar, yea,
one cent to the promotion of Demo-
cratic principles? The Times will
have Autographed and published
upon its first page in golden letters
any Democratic club list bearing the
name of "FarIner" T. D. Jones and
his subscription to the cause of
Democracy as well.
We are informed by the Republi-
can Tribune, the statement taken
from the Higbee News, that, Roth
we'll, Alexander, Hale, Mansur, Hall
and Bodlne. all members of Congress
from this district, were given, all
told eight terms" That, Judge
Rucker already has had as many
terms as these six men combined"
This statement is literally true, and
each of these men were splendid
gentlemen, well equipped to repre-.
sent this, or any other district in
Congress, and yet we ask any sup
porter of Farmer" Dick, or either of
his entire sixteen newspapers. in
Guiding the Republican-Tribune to
mention one important measure any
of these splendid gentlemen, intel
lectual giants, some of them, were
connected with.
This you cannot do and will not
attempt to do, and why? Because
they were not permitted to serve in
Congress sufficiently long to WELD
an influence there to be of great
service to the nation and the dis
trict.
Call to mind the representatives
in Congress from this state in the
past twenty-five years who have
achieved national reputation
placed their impress upon the i'm,
portant measures of national i'm
portance, been of greatest benefit to
the nation, this commonwealth, and
their districts, and you will at once
think of the lamented Richard Parks
Bland, Speaker Champ Clark, Cover
nor Alexander M. Dockery and w
W. Rucker. Each of the former
served longer in Congress than
Judge Rucker, and yet Judge Rucker
in the last few years of his service,
has championed, carried through
Congress, some of the most import
ant measures passed by that body
He has served sufficiently long to
now be of great benefit to his con-
stituency and country in general
He is chairman on the Committee
on Election of President, Vice Presi-
dent and Representatives in Con-

at General Election.
A large number of the newspa-
pers of Missouri, including the Dem
ocrat. published a statement that
Attorney General Barker had ruled
that the Absentee Voting Law pass
ed by the last legislature applied to
the primary to be held next Tues
day After a reading of the law.
which appears to apply to general
elections only, the editor of the
Democrat wrote Mr. Barker asking
if the law applied to the Primary.
To this General Barker replied as
follows:
Answering the first question in
your letter of the 23rd inst, we beg
to advise that this department has
today rendered an opinion to the
Secretary of State holding that the
absentee voting law found at pages
1924 and 1926 Laws of 1918 does not
apply to primary elections.
We also asked General Barker to
give answer to the following: "A
known Republican asks judges for
Democratic ballot, they knowing
Tvotes to be Republican refuse. He
pledges to support part of the Dem
ocratic ticket, but refuses to pledge
to support all of the Democratic
ticket at General Election. Is he
entitled to vote as a Democrat in
the Primary" In answer to this
General Barker answered as follows:
Answering your second question,
we beg to advise that Section 5871
R. S. reads as follows:
mo person shall be entitled to
vote at any primary unless a quail
fed elector of the precinct and duly
registered therein, if registration
thereat be required by law, and
known to affiliate with the political
party named at the head of the
ticket he calls for, and attempts to
vote, or obligateS himself to support
the nominees of said party at the
following general election"
Section 1878 contains the follow
ing language:
1T shall be the duty of the Chal-
lenger to challenge and the duty of
the judges of election to reject the
ballot of any person attempting to
vote other than the ticket of the
party with which he is known to be
affiliated. unless such person, when
challenged obligates himself, by
oath or affirmation, administered
by one of the judges, to support the
party nominees of the ticket he is
voting in the following general elec-
ton"
We are of the opinion that a vot-
er who is known not to have affiIia-
ted with a party whose ticket he
seeks to vote is not entitled to vote
such ticket, when challenged, unless
he takes the oath TO support the
nominees of that party.
We do not think an oath to sup
port a part of the nominees is a
compliance with the statutes.
