mention of the different Democratic
candidates for office, but owing to a
heavy volume of work that is now
crowding in this office. we are forced
to be much more brief than we would
| desire.
Therefore it will be necessary that
we pass over the candidate for u. S.
Senate and the State offices with the
statement that the election of all
these candidates is Of greatest inn
portance Of the people. They all de-
serve to win, if for no other reason
than that they are candidates on the
| Democratic ticket. the party that al
ways has stood, and still stands for
the best and greatest good to the
plain, common people Such recon-
mendation is not intended for the
great capitalists and the privilege
loving classes. If this paper should
fall into the hands Of any of that class
of citizens; then we would suggest that
they pay no attention to this recon-
mendation, as it is not intended for
them.
/ The first candidate to whom we de-
sire to add our endorsement is that OF
lDr. ]. Scott Wolff, of Festus, who is
the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this District. DR.. Wolff has
made a vigorous campaign through
out the Thirteenth District, and there
are perhaps few who have not already
met him. He is man who inspires
confidence, and while serving in the
Legislature he proved on every oc-
casion that his interests and sympa-
thies were always with the plain peo-
pie, of whom he is one. The very un-
usual demonstration of strength he
| exhibited in the primary election is
but another instance of his power to
draw men TO him and inspire con-
fidence. His election seems certain at
this hour. and if he is chosen to rep
! resent this district in Congress there
is no reason to believe that his con
stituents will ever have cause to re-
gret their support of him. He is an
ex-service man; also he is plain, ev-
ery-day citizen, who knows and will
work for the desires of his people.
w. Albert Brookshire, Democratic
candidate for State Senator, is self
educated. BY his own efforts he
graduated from two Of the leading
colleges in, Missouri, and from the
law school of the University of Chi
cago. He has worked on farm,
taught school and is now winning
distinction ms a lawyer. Ii elected to
the State Sen,yte, he will not be boss
ed nds con&, 49, ~ any corporation

He is courageous and decisive in his
judgment. His integrity has never
,, been questioned. He has always
stood for progressive legislation, and
would vote for legislation that would
lift the burden of taXatin from the
farmer ana oor man, ana olstrlDute 4:
1t IN such manner that every ma,
Vldual and every corporation Woulo
share equally Its portion OF the Dur

For Circuit Judge OF TINS Dlstlrct,
Judge Peter II. hucE, OF Ste' dene-

seems to be perfectly safe torecast
that he Will again prove to be a
source OF strength to hls ticket
throughout the District: Judge hucK
has been on the bench IN TINS dlstrict
SO long that many believeilt would De
difficult to hold term OF court With

larity has been attested In every race

one of the foremost on his ticket IN
most of the counties IN the District
He is one of the most pleasant and So
ciable OF men to meet, and yet IN the
trial of cases, he; seldom shows thai
