Ex-Governor Dockery, of Missouri,

must enter the next campaign early,

Unable to say anything sgainst Dr.
White, Democratic candidate for
County Treasurer, the Republicans are
spreading the falsehood that he will
nol assume the duties of the office
himself, but will hire a substitute.
This is the only stock in trade, which
proves that Dr. White is all right. No
one would be a candidate for county
office if it was his intention not to fill
the position himself, in the event of
his success. Remember, the Demo-
cratic candidate for county treasurer is
White. It is because he is White that
no one need fear him acting the rascal
