HONEST ELECTION THE ISSUE.

Hadley Declares Folk's Police Must
Furnish Protection at Polls.

Herbert S. Hadley, Republican candidate for governor of Missouri, will insist on a fair, square election. He said yesterday afternoon that if the people of Missouri wanted him for the next governor it must be the people who elect him. He believes that the question of an honest election will be one of the issues of the campaign.

"It was very plainly indicated at the primaries that there had been some crooked work," said he. "Now, one of the great problems of this campaign is to see that every man gets his vote. I don't intend to be jobbed or robbed, so in order not to be we must have the assurance that Governor Folk's police boards and police departments will give us protection at the polls.
