CANDIDATE FOR
CIRCUIT Jl
IE
in toe otera of the 28th Judicial
Circuit :
On account of the great popula
tion f' this circuit and on account
of the brief time Intervening un
til election, I will rind it impossi
ble to personally Visit more than
a small per cent of the voters
Therefore I am choosing this plan
of bringing my candidacy to the
attention of the people.
Judge Paris recently resigned
from the i ffice o.' circuit Judge af
ter serving the people in a most ,
worthy manner, leaving as a her !
Itage to his successor a high ex
ample of integrity and abltUty
on the bench.
The Democrats nominated as 1
hit sue cesser Hon. Pi auk Kcllcv
or tape Girardeau. The RepublU
cans have chosen mc as a candi
date on their ticket. Neither o .
the other political parties have
named a candidate for this res-
poneible posltino.
I take this means of Inviting t;ie
support or my friends in the dis
trict or Whatever political faith,
and regardless or the outcome of
the election I shall deeply appre
ciate the confidence of every vo
Ut casting his ballot for me, and
1 shall have no rault to find with
those voters who prefer the elect
ion of my opponent.
ir it is the will of the majority j
or the voters In this circuit that
1 become Circuit Judge. I pledge
myself to discharge the duties of ,
that high office to the bast of my j
ability, giving to every litigant,
regardless of class or callir.g. a

JUST A WORD.
To the Socialists of the Twentv-
Eighth Judicial Circuit
Comrades The resignation of Judge Farls
caused a vacancy for the office
of Circuit Judge In this district,
to be filled at the November 1912
election.
To fill this vacancy the Demo
crats have nominated Frank Kel
ly, of Cape Girardeau county, and
the Republicans have nominated
Edw. D. Hays of the same county.
The Socialists have no candidate,
hence it Is our privilege to choose
' the lesser of two evils."
In Benton there was n law-firm
styled ' Kelly & McAVilllams." In
the same town there is also a So
cialist paper the Scott Countr
Kicker. John McWllliams is the
prosecuting attorney.
For four years a most merciless
war has been waged bv the In mi-
: lords and
business interests of
the county to destroy the Kicker
the only paper In the county
' they do not control.
Last year the Kicker began the
exposure of rotten conditions In
this county. Tic editor addressed
: to the prosecuting attorney an
. "pen letter calling his attention
to RECORDED FACTS.
Or course no reply was possible
: for their own records condemned
them.
But the Kicker Insisted on an
answer and the people began to
wake up and talk.
As the talk grew louder it be
came apparent that the authorl-I
tle had to do something.
And they did with John M -Williams
as legal advisor, or pub
lic prosecutor
They first tiled persecutl n by 1

The editor lives over the print
ing office and stairs led from a
side street to the second story.
He was notified to remove these
stairs and did so altho a per
mlt Is on record granting hip
permission to put them there.
I
3ut the editor continued to in-
ft on an answer to his graft
eist on an answer to ins g
charges.
Then a lib ouit for $12,000
damages was fi.'ed by John Me- !
Williams against the Kicker and
Its editor ror the very grave
orfen.se of publishing facts that ;
could not be denied.
Here enters Kelly, the former i
law-partner of McWllltams, to as
sist in the smashing of the Kicker
He plays leading attorney.
At the October term. 1011. the
case was put over until April by
J idge Farls.
In April Judge Paris appointed
JfUdge Ranney of Cape Girardeau
to hold court. The jury was se
lected by Democratic officials, yet
k "hung" jury resulted some o'
their own partisans refusing to
stand ror it.
The case will again come up in ;

Friday, November l. j
When men. even as lawyers, will I
countenance such methods just be-
cause they happen to enjoy the j
favor of the political party in
power, we do not consider them
rit tor justices of the peace much
less for circuit judge or prosecut
ing attorney.
These are the men who have
caused the Socialists of cott 1
county so much annoyance and ex
pease in keeping alive tha only So
cialist paper In Southeast Miss :irl !
Therefore this statement Is is- I
;ed to Inform the Socialist') of
this judicial circ uit of th kind !
nf man the Democrats have chosen
as their candidate '. r circuit
judge. The Republicans 1
iave a
their candidate Edward l. Hays,
also of Cape Girardeau county.
The Socialists have no candidate.

It is altogether probable that

COUNTY COURT DOINGS.
For a month or more various
reports have come to me of a pe
tition being quietly circulated by
the different road bosses of the
county, but no one seemed to
know just what the petition was
Intended to accomplish. As they
expressed it, they figured that It
was a move by the powers that
be to retain Warner as Highway
Engineer.
When court met on Thursday of
last week a petition was present
ed asking the court to submit to
the voters the re-establishing of
the office of Highway engineer,
and the court ordered It on the
ballot to be voted on next Tues
day.
The 'machine" can do some
queer things This is only another
effort to "run it over" the peo
ple. The thing was so timed as to
give it the least possible publicity
in the evident hope of avoiding
discussion, and the further hope
that the voters opposed to it '
would overlook it on the ballot.
There is no doubt in my mind '
that the proceedings, were illegal
but what are von eoimr t do !
about it?
The official ballot had already
been printed in the pipers select
ed by the county clerk and this
proposition was not upon it. It
is Impossible to give the required
notice. Yet If it should sip thru
the taxpayers Will have saddled
onto them again ti e elephant that
they so overwhelmng threw o.'f
at the last electl m.
The Democrat clams to give the and told his rather that Joe had
offctal news. No doubt it printed told the crew that 0. J Dannen
the petition that were circulated mueller told htm that u'rod
by the road bosses. Yet it kept
its readers ignorant or What was
going on. And that is exactly
what these organs are for to
keep the people In Ignorance while
ffrMSJ!
ing kci t iiuornie
lleve they arc He

The voters should resent such
methods and 1 believe they will
Tie a -tiing around your finger
SO I wont forget to vote on it.
And make a good Job of it by not
only voting against the re-establishment
or the office, but every
thing that smells of the machine.
On the ballot will appear

TH AT LI MEL "SOOT."
This paper is being mailed
on
: the day before the day
n which
that famous libel "soot ' against
; the Kicker Is to come up. The
date or trial Is Friday. Nov. 1
That "soot" is developing into
a real joke aside rrom the r.act
that the opposition selects the
' men riom which the jury must be
chosen.
First they charge us with libel
and rile a petition setting out
the statements whii h they (Maim '
to be libelous.
Then we rile an answer tr the
petition claiming that what we
said is true and that we can
prove it.
But they don't want to let us
I prove it., in September they serv
. el notice on us that thy would
ask the court to strike out the
most Important part or our an
swer. Tuesday i received a letter
from my attorney. Mr. Cramer,
telling me that he had Just Ieen
serve ! with additional notice to
strike out more ol the answer and
he concludes: -ir they keep on
there will Ik- nothing left to my
answer but the style or the case
an1 my signature.'
Wonder ir they really think it
possible in Scott county to ac
cuse a person or lying and then
deny him the right to prove that
he told only the truth.
H they are clean-handed, why
not let down the bars and let it
all come as I am willing that it
should ?
THEY ARE SILENT.
The Democratic candidates ,'or
county judges and prosecuting
attorney are silent on the quest
ions put to them by the Kicker
concerning an investigation o'
the county's a.'fairs and the law
regulating the letting of public
i printing. J ncy refuse to put
j themselves on record.
Last week Judge Bandy came
! into the Kicker office saving.
'What was that you wanted to
know?
am not wanting to know
i anything." I answered.
"Well. 1 got your letter." he
went on. "and I am in favor of
auditing the books ir the people
want it."
' How are you going to find
out?'
"Well, by petition. I suppose. "
"Petition, hell!'' I retorted some
what hotly. "Didn't the. people
present a petition last fall and
you had a lot of them arrested
and brought before the court to
explain why they signed it?"
The judge did not tarry long.
For any member of the present
court to say that he is In favor
of what the people want, after
ignoring the people in so import
ant a matter as building a court
house, requires nerve.
Court proceedings crowded out.
Count.v court next week.
ABOUT CAMPAIGN LM&
Next Tuesday is one of the days
on which the patriots do their
dirty work In order to save the
country. Every lie, every device
and every deception calculated to
fool the people will be resorted to
Even the red circular so Industri
ously circulated In the Interest of
Mr. Buck two years ago may be
resurrectea.
Of course no one can forecast
Just what methods will be resort
ed to this year, yet some of the
methods to be used are' already
in evidence.
W. B. Grlce. the Socialist candi
date for county Judge from this
district, Is a working man who
has to rollow his Job. For years
he has been employed by Win. Oli
ver at Oran as a clerk. Mr. Oli
ver is also Interested In a store
at Risco and Mr. Grice Is tempor
arily there looking after that
store. But his home and family
are at Oran. Because Klsco Is be
yond the borders of this county
the report Is being circulated
that Mr. Grice "has left the coun
ty." But I want to assure, you
that if Mr. Grfe is electel the
! gang that is Circulating this rc
j port will discover that he Is very
, much in tills county.
Joe Weidfieid is working with
; Wendollne Scherer's pea hulier.
. On Monday or last week the ma
! chine was at work at Jerry M In
ter 'I in SandyWO 'ds. Tuesday it
raineil and Otto Die bold who was
; working with the hulier. returned
i to tils home near New Hamburg
Pobst of Oian. said he could not
fill the office of treasurer be-
cause iiis: father was sick and he
could not attend to it. The Fath
er wrote t oMr. Pobst asking if
this was true, .and received the
; the following reply :
Oram Mo., Oct. 1012,
Sol. Dlebold. (Iran. Mo.
IVar Comrade lust received
your letter and must say that it
was a surprise. I never told O. J,
Dannenmueller nor anyone else
that I intended to withdraw. I
did tell him that 1 did Dot intend
, to make a campaign and spend
per day as he and Prury told
j me they were doing.
Yours for success.
ALFRED POBST."
Now. it would be unjust to hold
! Mr. Dannenmueller responsible for
the statement or Mr. Weidfieid.
' Possibly Mr. Weidfieid played the
part of an over-zealous friend.
For more than a month I have
I heard reports that "Ixv Massey.

the Democratic candidate, nor Dr.

true. Put those rumors start and

Sunday he was at Fornfelt and
Monday he spoke at the court
house in Benton, He was given
good attention and his message
was well received.
At Il'mo the Socialists rente
the opera house for Monday night
as well as a band, and gave the
speaker a crowd that was suffi
cient to cause him to reel as im
portant as a plute spell-binder.
Tuesday evening the Moriey So

and a good meeting resulted. Fur
ther reports of the meetings have
not been received.
Saturday afternoon and night
