While they were securing tic city
for Lane supporters, numbe" Of old
time Democrats announced that the,
would cast their votes for John A. Sni-
Ter, the Republican nominee for Judge.
Among the Democrats who stated
theE would vote against Lane were:
David 4. Glenn, Attorney NJ a.
Dempsey, Casper Sander and DR.. ]. c..
Vorbecll. DR.. Vorbeck was bitter in
lis dcnunciation Of the crowd that las
swallowed his party. q wouldn't sup,
oort Tom Lane and that crowd under
any circumstances" he said. 81 have
alkcd with great many Democrats,
md | reflect their attitude %hen
;ay that as long as Tom Judcn is the
lead Of the Democratic party and
.hoosing the candidate, it is dead
party | am for John A Snider and
he'll win in a walk"
Harry f. Alexander approached
Attorney Dempsey yesterday with a
petition, which he said he was present
ng to :hc Democratic lawyers, urging
them to vote for Mr.. Lane next Satur-
lay. Mr. Dempsey refused positively
to sign the petition, and later announc-

delegates from Jackson wcr" 9arti1u-
'arly GisnIcascd with the nor ination
# Mr. Lane, and it IS said that Il
great many Democrats from tat
section will support Mr.. Sni<!,".
1t is understood among lcrai Demo-
rats that Tom Juden is going to tcs'
us own strength at the polls by max
ng a personal appeal to the voters to
;urpolt Mr.. Lane. Judcn, who has
/ 1cen indorsed for Postmaster IN This
.itv, expects to prove to his critics that
Il is entitled to the Job by eicctinS
Lane Saturday.
Judan's close friends are working
light and day to help him redeem him
| elf. They feel that if Lane is defeat
d it might cause Juden's Endorsement
or Postmaster to Ee recalled. If he
wins, he will be the one Democratic
'ampaign manager in Southeast Mis-
souri,, and will demand the title Of
boss"
Republicans are sitting back and on
Toying the efforts of the Democrats
to come back. Politicians, who arc
familiar with conditions, predict that
Lane will fall from 200 to 800 votes
short of the number of votes cast for
the late Judge Ranney.
Judge Snidcr was in the city yester
day, looking over the situation. CIV
erything looks excellent. 1t is but i
matter of getting out the votes next
Saturday. The more votes that are
cast, the greater will be the majority"
he said.
"This is undoubtedly Republican
year. | think the people al over the
country are pretty we'll disguised with
Democratic misiule President Will
sons foreign policy has been diSap-
pointment, l think, to big majority
Of the Democrats think he has bcch
very unfair to Germany, and | believe
the voters all over the country think
the same way
"The Republicans, as they always |
do, will nominate big man for
President, and he will be elected b.; |
the greatest popular majority ever
given to a candidate. In Missouri, the |
people are displeased with Democratic |
misrulc. | don't think any state ever
saw such an administration. believe
the Republican candidate for govern
or will be elected
This county is Republican by
good majority under ordinary contii-
lions, but it is certain to give a record |
this autumn. | don't think
there is any doubt about my election
next Saturday. l have been informed
that | will get number of Democratic
votes. | expect to come to Cape Cir
ardeau with 300 votes over my oppon-
cnt, and everyone tells me that will
carry Cape Girardeau. If I can get
an oven break here, will win easily,
and | do not believe it is expecting too
much to anticipate an even break in
