REPUBLICAN,
DAY

Chairman r. w. Hukriede,
of the Republican State Com
mittee,, has appointed Monday,
October 10th, as Republican
Day in Missouri and has asked
that it be celebrated, by the
Republicans of the State, with
a contribution of ONE DOL
LAR to the fund from which
the expenses of the campaign
are borne.
You are interested in the
fight for the return Of a per
manent National Prosperity.
You are deeply concerned in
the effort to clean out the
corrupt, incompetent and ex-
travagant administration at
jefferson City. The fight to clean
them out is your fight. .
The National Committee is giving no.
thing to the campaign in Missouri. The
Big Corporations are not contributing a
penny. The Munitions Manufacturers
are not interested in our success. You
must give the money that is needed to
pay the expenses Of organization, Of the
distribution Of literature on a large scale,
Of campaign meetings and Of getting out
the vote. If you don't the work can't
be done. If it isn't done, the chance Of
victory will be lessened. .
Missouri is rich and Republican poll
cies will add to its wealth. The State
Committee is calling on every Republi-
can in the State who can afford It, to
contribute ONE DOLLAR on Monday,
October 18th. This means you. Repub-
lican victory always means many dollars
in return for every man, from the day
laborer up.
1t is up to you to help guarantee this
result by sending in the small contribu-
ton asked. Use this coupon:

Few schoolhouses Damaged.

Raleigh DIR. ]. Y, Joyner, state gu
perintendent of public instruction, says
that after hearing definitely from all
the counties through the school auth.
critics he finds that the damage to
the school houses in the food sections
of the state was nominal and that the
most serious results OF the floods for
the schools will be the reduced school
tax revenue ON account OF the reduc
lions in tax assessments that will be
necessary on account Of the heavy
general food damage in the counties
DR.. Joyner Is setting on foot plans
through which he hopes to counterfeit
this loss from shrinkage in tax values
and avert any necessity for curtafling
the length Of the school terms.
