came to Canon City this city and
county ware considered the cradle
OF the good roads movement in not
only this state but throughout the
enuire nation my observation this
spring OF tns roads Of this city and
county prompts me to ask the follow
ing questions regarding the same;
Why is it that Canon CIT, and

Why is IL that the Royal Gorge

Why is 1t that the Royal Gorge

same condition apply not only to

but am strongly OF the opinion
that our City Council and County
Commissioners deserve severe con-
demnatlon for the condition OF tas

Canon City.
The condition OF the road to the
top OF the Royal Gorge Is most de-
plorable. and $4,000 spent in repairs

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

No Republican has any right NOR
ally or under the law to assist Dem
ocrats in selecting their ticket OF
course if there be any who have
heretofore been Republicans and
have seen the light and now are
sorry for their past conduct and
from this time on will be disciples
of Jefferson and support his party
principles they will be welcomed to
the Democratic fold, but as to hav-
ing the assistance Of Republicans in
naming the Democratic ticket we
don't want it. That is a duty for
Democrats. Likewise Democrats
should refrain from attempting to
assist Republicans in naming their
ticket.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

Congress has been in almost con-
tinuouS session since April of last
year, During all these months
Congressman Rucker has been at
his post Iaboring for the interests
Of the people President Wilson has
sent seen fit to highly honor him by
having him draw the presidential
primary law. The President did
not select Rucker for this import
ant duty by chance, but because he
had been watching him and knew
that he was the man for the work.
There is no more influential man in
Congress than is Judge Rucker and
he is always working for the inter
eSts of the people. The great trusts
and monopolies would like to see
him retired because they well know
that it would be years before the
Second District would have another
man of RuckeTs ability and influ.
ence in Conerd ss.

Monroe City would make much

Monroe City would make much
more favorable impression on those
who pass through our city on the
Burlington, if the right of way was
cleaned up and kept that way.
Then if the railroad grounds were
parked and kept free from rubbish
this too would add to the appear
ance. The depots are to the town
as are the front door to the resi-
dences There is much good work
along this line to be done.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

There is no reason for a change
of Democratic Congressman at this
time. Missouri has a delegation of
Democratic leaders. They are so
recognized by all. Judge Rucker
is the peer of any. He has the
endorsement of leading Democrats
of the country and next Tuesday he
will again be Endorsed by his con-
Stituents.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

Senator Stone has always been
found fighting for the interests of
all the people. Those who desire
special favoTs at the expense Of the
people have no liking for Bill Stone.
His work prior to 1912 had much
to do with Democratic success in
1912 and he has never sulked but
always can be found fighting for
the peoples rights.

Our Congressman and Senators.

John T. Gentle, a druggist of
Vandalia, Mo-, and friend of the
editor of the Standard, has just re-
turned from an extended trip to the
east where he visited in Virginia,
New York. Philadelphia, Atlantic
City, White Sulphur Springs and
Washington.
The Vandalia Leader says:
Mr.. Gentle went as member of
the Board of Missouri State Institu-
ton at Fulton, and his party includ-
ed the members of the board. Mark
Hawkins of Monroe City, D. A.
Sharp of Liberty, S. A. Clark of
Carrollton, DR.. Crews of Fulton, and
President Morrison, head of the in
stitution. Missouri was the only
state whose entire directorate was
present and the fact was made a
feature Of the big meeting and
gave the state great prestige.
He attended several sessions of
congress and, among other thiogs,
spoke very complimentary about
Judge Rucker.
The Speaker" said Mr.. Gentle,
who has been a personal friend of
Mr. Clark all of his life. lis in the
finest health | ever saw him and
looks magnificent. He was the
most impressive figure saw in
Washington. He has the house in
the hollow of his hand, and to see
him preside is privilege of a life.

Gentle TO find that Missouri was
furnishing the capitol and the ma

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

The young man WHO has never
voted and the man who has here
tofore voted the high tariff and
trust ticket should vote for the par
ty of progress, the party which leg
islates in the interest Of ALL the
people. Our Republican friends
legislate for the few and the many
must pay the bill.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

Any one of the several laws put
on the U. s. Statute books by Dem
Ocrats under the Wilson admins
tration should cause the people to
keep the grand party of Jefferson in
power for years to come. Then
there are more good wholesome
laws that will be passed.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

Perry S. RAIDER is the type of man
needed on the Supreme bench. He
is honest, able, fearless, a splendid
lawyer, will be fair and just In
all cases coming before him, is
in the prime Of life and will do
his part in keeping the docket
cleaned up.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

If you do not intend to vote the
Democratic ticket next November,
regardless of who may be nominal
ed, you have no right either moral.
ly or legally to attempt to vote next
Tuesday IN order to help some one
get the nomination.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-07-30

Lets do our part toward returning
the entire Democratic delegation to
Congress. They have proven them
selves able and competent and this
is not the time to change.

magician. When they said we
couldn't see people, he simply wav-
ed his hands, repeated some magic
sesame, and we would walk right
in. After iron clad refusals, it was
through his good offices that we
met President Wilson, Mr.. Rucker
going to the White House with US
and taking US through various
rooms, with guards at every door,
to a room adjoining the presidents
private office. In response to Mr..
Fuckers request, Mr.. Wilson shortly
came in, accompanied by Mr. Nc
Adoo, and his private secretary, Mr.
Tumulty. Ones first impression of
the president is that he is scholar
and high bred gentleman, His eye
is very penetrating. He was very
cordial and gracious, and when Mr..
Clark of Carrollton, member OF
our party, invited him to Carrollton
for the dwelling of the Shields
monumenr, he expressed the pleas
ure it would give him, and that he
would refer it to the committee on
arrangements for his western trip"
